Ray of Light

She entered the room,a zillion emotions were going on within her.She was anxious, nervous, excited,curious.In the midst of so many unknown faces,she felt lonely.All she needed was peace,she longed for company.As the day progressed she grew somewhat seasoned to the hub-bub of the place.Some were noisy,some flamboyant,some over excited,some silent.She missed her previous squad,the image of the lush green stretches of her school where she enjoyed the winter sun with her squad,the big banyan tree where they sat down and talked,the assembly ground where they made a thousand memories kept knocking at her.

She felt alien in the new place.She saw big trees,huge stretches of green grass,but not her company.The Transition was inevitable yet hurting.She felt her laughter to have gone in exile and every time she saw a group of friends on the street,it reminded her of her happy bygone days.One winter afternoon while she was basking in the winter sun reminiscing about her home,her friends,a hand touched her on the shoulder.She turned back to find an unknown face with an amicable smile stretching out her hand for friendship.

Days passed by and that unknown one listened patiently to all her fears,her worries,her desires,her joys."Rapunzel "as she called the unknown one was gradually breaking the walls she built around her and entered into her territory.She loved her company,she knew her to be different from the rest.She had always thought that she would never find anyone who could fill up the void left by her old friends, little realizing that Rapunzel was already an integral part of her life.

Some people enter into your life like a hurricane,quite unexpectedly and so came another soul.A pretty, charming,attractive face with the most grateful dance moves and an equally innocent heart.It is rightly said that a heart that loves the most invites the greatest pain.The Dancing Queen camouflaged behind her smile a Galaxy of Pain.She started a casual conversation with the other two only to find out that the conversation went on for hours.She realized that it was her safe place to pour her heart out,her sky of freedom,her happy place.

The three saw many things together,saw how friends changed into foes,lovers turning into strangers, permanent people leaving soon,and what not.But nothing changed the bond they shared.They were each other's strength,the cure for gloom,the reason of laughter and the catalyst of hope.People often label Girls unworthy of becoming each other's best companions,but they fail to realize that if needed they could become each other's strength and such was their case.

The years of University life came to an end and at the hour of parting,they found tears rolling down.The same girl who fondly remembered her happy school days all the time,now had a baggage of memories with her while she was going back.They promised to be by each other always and though they were busy in their lives now they know that they were for one another even at the oddest hours and inexplicable situations, I guess that's the beauty of Friendship,it's  richness is omnipresent like the wind, always there around you, Lighting up the darkest hours of your life....
