Last day of school...
Eventually after the memorable and indelible journey of 11 years, I was at the last phase of my school life.
That was the last day... Also the day before heartbreaking but awaited occasion of farewell.
Joyful preparation and merry ambience were present all across the school. Everyone seems excited, teachers were busy signing farewell cards for us, some of the students were preparing titles for everyone and rest were busy in scribbling session. Everything was entirely different all the rules, all the strictness, everything seemed to be disdain from the air.
Meanwhile Shreya was too indulge in the preparation of farewell titles, I went to her to say goodbye. Coz some of my friends were leaving and I too was going with them. She didn't look happy. "Why...??", I wanted to ask, but didn't. I guess because neither me nor Niharika was there to scribble her shirt.
I went downstairs walking along with my friends, passing the ground, one more time we all wanted to play the last game. But we didn't stop and moved straight to the exit, I turned one last time to look at the school, suddenly my eyes fall upon Shreya heading towards the music room. I don't know what happened after that I just couldn't be able to cross the gate.
I just ran towards the music room and to saw her practicing the songs for the event, I stood there and listened her for some time. There was a smile across my face.
I returned to my class, there some of my friends were celebrating the scribble day, writting on other's shirts remembering the best moments spent and paving the promises to stay together in future ahead. Seeing all this, I thought of going to her but dropped the idea.
Why..?? Even I don't know.
Way back home I was having conversations with myself, and suddenly I regret my decision. I wanted to run back to her but couldn't... Just couldn't...
I just hold back my tears and sighed, with a heavy heart I entered my house.
Coming back home... We were all very excited about our outfits and hairstyles, those preparation too were wished to be a never ending one, for they giving us the sense of excitement, delightment and a bit of anxiety too.
After all that was our farewell, a day of blended emotions..
