Eight long years..how cud he remember me? not his fault I guess!

“tea?”, he asked.....I looked towards him and then towards the shop, a small boy of 13-14 was sitting there…

“hmmm..” I said and we stood up….

“Oh god..!! how wud I carry this bag..” I thought…..I dint even know where that boy at the shop appeared from, forget about the porter…!!

“don’t worry, I’ll..”  he was still gud at reading me, I smiled…..

“thanks”…

A few mins later we were sitting on a bench near the shop sipping our tea..

I watched him, carefully this time…..he had changed a lot…from an alluring next door guy to a handsome looking young man, though his manner was still boyish, yet his voice had a mature and well-bred accent now..!!!

Every time our eyes met, he smiled and I kept wondering all this while, has he actually not recognized me..??...may be not, even I had changed a lot…..!!!...

Nevertheless, we were as gud as strangers now…..but the memories…wat about them…?...cud they ever become strangers to me..??

We were together in college…a clumsy, boring and stupid girl, and an absolute charmer he was…!!.... I still don know, even then how come we were such gud frnds..!! he used to share all with me, smiles, tears, success, failures, crushes...Everything…!! and then my scholarship happened…!!

I remember his last words till date, “u wont forget me na..?” …the train started moving and 'his' hand slipped from mine slowly…and I…

I cud say nothing, though I wanted to shout…

I wanted to shout n tell him “ I love you Adi..…I....love u....!!" … …..!!!!!

to be cont…
