Me and Shivani

Okay here is an unknown and forgotten story of two friends. Friends who believed there meeting was a miracle and not a coincidence. its abt me and shivani. we were from different schoolin, I was from smc and she from ghs. it was GG class that brought us together(a private evenin coachin). We wre as different as north and south pole. I was an extrovert she was an introvert. I loved outdoor she prefer indoor, I was the naughtiest and she was the studious. I was aimless and she wanna be an engineer. Phew countless but the magnetic pull never got weaken.

We wre in grade 9 and I was unaware of her presence in my coaching auto. She sat in a corner seat lookin outside the window, trying not be in focus of the other girls. I made lotta friends in the auto but I was more curious to talk to her. The next day i sat beside her and how the conversation began I dnt remember. I start loving her company, she was very different and down to earth. And the more we talked we want the talk never ceased. Now we sat together every time we came for class, if I was late she reserved my seat. If she was absent one day my head never worked. But then she send me a letter thru her friend, sonia which she has been writin in her school, ‘sry dear aaj nahi aa paye’. I wrote back and handed to her friend to gv it to her nxt day in school. We started writing letter in this technology oriented world. The length increased from one page to five sometimes to 10.

Girls start envying us and so many tried to create misunderstandin. We fought over trivial things and still like a nail we hooked to each other. One day instead of sitting with her I sat with my school mate that shook her so badly and we didn’t talked the whole evening. Sonia told me, ‘dnt u get it she thinks u r her best friend and she cnt tolerate ur dis act’ a big smile passed on my face, why didn’t she said that to me. My bond grew so distinct and clear. Yes we are best friends. I got my best friend not in my school but in GHS. We got more close and open. And studying together was more fun now.

Icse was over, we both passed. She took PCM and I took commerce. Different again, and this time there was no chance to study together again. I missed her a lot. We start visitin each other at home frequently. even that was nt makin me happy I wnt to study with her, sit with her in class, chat in the auto. Few more years she joined b.tech and me b.com.

today she is in Bangalore and me in delhi. South and north, all that unite us is the sky above. I realized those days wil nvr cum again and tht time spend together seem lik a dream to me. Short but deep that brought us together in a relationship we could not deny.

Every time when we are in our home town the first thing we do is see each other and talk, talk and talk.
