Friendship - The greatest gift of life ❤

The titbits and gossips of few people are never going to affect the relationship between a brother and a sister. Then why should it affect the friendship between a guy and a girl?

‘Attitude, yeah that was the first word that came into my mind when I saw her the first time in my department during the 2nd semester. I used to turn my head the other side whenever she entered into the class or not possibly look at her. Days passed with both of us having no good wills about each other. It was one unusual evening when I had to call her to solve a problem that had happened in class on that day, performing the duties of an assistant class representative. I could still remember myself walking in the corridor of Chemparuthi Hostel trying to talk to her in fluent English. My fluency in English was a little low by then because I did not have enough touch in higher secondary since I was in hostel. I was glad that she understood my broken English and soon the problem was solved. Even then, we didn’t talk much. It was during the second assessment, she texted me to teach her a subject. ‘Yes’ was my immediate reply. I started wondering later how am I going to do it. Sleeping in class had become a daily routine  and I didn’t have enough notes. That’s when I had to go to Anna Centenary library to prepare the subject to teach her. I could still remember and laugh at those moments. I had to study the subject late into night till I understood it completely so that there wouldn’t be any hic-cups when I teach it to her.  It was around 10:30 AM next day when I went to teach her in the place opposite to the EEE department. She used to be with her friends gang. I felt a little odd so I taught her what I knew and left the place soon.  To be honest the subject that I taught her is the only subject I am so well versed in my entire 3 years of college life.

Then we started studying together during assessment and semester. That’s how we started to know each other more personally. We go for a walk within college. Every time during our walk if I see someone who knew me, then I used to tell her that they are going to mock at me later. Then at one point, she got irritated and said that if you feel bad then stop walking with me.  I had other ideas though; I stopped caring about the mocks. We started getting closer. Then came the summer holidays. To be frank I hated chatting with her because most of the times I don’t get what she meant. I learned a lot of short forms and anonyms from her, for instance the word ‘Sup’ meant ‘What’s up’. We didn’t talk much in summer holidays. Then soon the college reopened. During daytime she will be with her group, I will be doing my responsibilities. Our evening walks became often, it actually became my habit, sharing with her what happened the entire day.

I am the type of person who goes in search of work to keep myself busy until excessive workload and few people words build up in my head, finally make me dull, and turn me off. She used be my backbone of encouragement at those times. I’ll meet her to share what had happened and then relax myself. As usual, gossips stayed in the air around us. But we knew about each other, we used to laugh about all those gossips and her greatest happiness is keeping me single. Then her birthday came. I decided that I should give her a gift that could stay with her for a year until I give her one the next year. The only best idea within the budget I had is to buy her a silver ring. However, a second thought peeped in, “What will she think about me?” I asked her friends. They said that she wouldn’t have any wrong thoughts because she believed in our friendship. So I went for the gift. She was glad when she saw the gift and I am glad now because it stayed for more than one year. Every day that call around 7:30 PM with the very first sentence, “Where are you?” is the most expected one. Then I would meet her and leave for dinner.

Then soon the 1st January of 2016 came. I still remember the promise that I made to her “I will make sure that the entire college will know about our friendship” I am glad that I did it already. She taught me how to be cool and stylish. The fact that my English fluency has improved so much is only because of her. The only thing that I hate about her is her anger. I try to end all the possible conversation at the start itself if I knew that was going to lead to a fight. Still we had fought a lot, but I can’t stay for more than two days without talking to her. I will send an entire paragraph of emotional message with the end line “But I still hate you”. Any help that is possible within my limits, she would call me first. Protecting and caring for her became an additional job for me. The road from alumni centre to canteen and until kottur gate will give us enough memories when we will leave this college. The expert adviser for both of us is each other. 2017,this New Year came; I made her another promise, “I will make sure that the entire world will know about our friendship”. I am just wondering how am I going to do that. She is the one among very few who is keeping me alive in this college and get me move on during bad times. Yeah I love her more than a lover, thats what friends are meant to be’.

She’s been there; When I cry, when I get heartbroken, when I laugh, when I’m mad, when I’m happy, when I’m jealous, when I’m crazy, when I’m down, when I lose, when I succeed. She has been through everything with me. And that’s why I call her my BEST FRIEND, hierarchized more than a lover.
We have come a long way from where we began, I will tell the whole world about our friendship until eternity.
GirlFriend and Girl Friend, you see the little gap between the two words, that’s the leap of friendship which any kind of love can never dare to bridge in-between.
