Everlasting Friendship

From the balcony of our hostel I surveyed the lonely path in front. It was through there that we went and came back from college. Now she has left me for ever. Never to return. Never to fight with me. Never to share my pains with me. Where has she gone?

A female with a bold face and beautiful smile entered the room. She walked and talked as if the whole world revolved round her. I realized with a shock that this female is going to be my room mate for the rest of my precious college life.

It was as if my horrors came into reality. She turned out to be exactly as I thought. We fought even for simple things. I tried to avoid her and reacted as if I didn’t exist.

But how this cruel hearted person turned out to be a true friend still I don’t know. She taught me the true meaning of friendship. It was from her I learned self respect, confidence and god knows what all. There was nothing that we didn’t share.

How can this world be so cruel? Why did she have to go from here? It was with her that I enjoyed my college life. The late night chats, the phone calls that we made, the long talks and the accounts in the canteen, the coffees made and the exam nights. Those memories will remain with me forever; never to fade; never to erase from my mind.

Along with her she took away not only my friendship but also the vibrant joy that surrounded her. I pray to God not to take away such a friendship from anyone ………………………………………………
