The Final Goodbye


I stood at the end of the road, waiting to bid goodbye to her for the one last time. The years of friendship has now become an addiction, i realize that with a pain. There's no more hangouts, secrets, togetherness. The thought of parting never struck me initially. Those days were meant only to have fun. Who would think about leaving each other. But now, as the time comes, there's no other go but to weep behind reality. 

That was two years back when i first saw her. Befriending a junior, is a matter of status issue. Like any other girl, even my ego chanted, 'keep her away'. But sometimes, destiny will have a say over mind. That's how it began. The friendship that we had was something that brought jealousy in others. We laughed, we enjoyed, we shared all our joys and sorrows. Never have the feeling of being single saddened us. We enjoyed sighting guys around. The telepathy played a big role in us. 

Some quidnuncs who couldn't figure out the magic in our friendship called us Lesbians! No wonder. People say things. We never cared. It's just that they do not know the definition of love! When a guy and a girl are close enough, people would start making up stories about them. Natural! They never know that love can be implied in different ways. The beauty of being together can be called only 'Love'. Let dictionary come up with a better meaning. 

She came closer to me. I had nothing much to say. "All the best for your future. Reach greater heights". Formal enough. She smiled, with tears falling down her wide eyes, "Never forget me you fool. Because, if you do, i'll kill you and i'll have to go to jail. Then you can imagine my future. So, it's upon you." We laughed. The final laughter together. It reflected the best moments we had till then!
