It was a hot summer day, all in our school uniforms with tension and fear on sweet little tender faces as we were in a few minutes to enter into our examination hall to pen-down our class 5 examination. As usual I had to hurry as I was late a few minutes. It was then I got to see this new face that was so eagerly watching/listening one of my cousin speaks to her team mates. Since ages it’s been in our way to hate the members of her team as we never kept any good understanding between us. Though we speak well outwardly, deep inside us had never been any such true friendship and since this new face was seen amongst them he too was placed into the same so called “fake friendship zone”Later in future I never got to see that new face much as I think he was a person of kind reserved and kept away from public, but anyways had just spotted his presence for a couple of times for the next two years. By the time all this could happen, we completed our class 7 and was admitted into a girls high school for the next 3 years during which I never got to see his face anymore and his thoughts or remembrance was no were in my mind anymore. But once I accidentally got to see him on a street close to my place named “geetha road”, he was on his bicycle and I was out for a walk with my sister in law.
Once our tenth class results were out, I was put into “Sri Mahaveer Jain College, KGF” for the next 2 years. If my memory is right, I guess it was in the month of June our college started. Even now as usual I was late again, this time not to class but late to college itself (confusing?)………i.e. college reopened for 11th standard ( I PUC) students on 14th June 2006 but I entered college only on 22nd or 23rd of June as I was affected by Chicken pox… … …
My day one into the college campus was straight into our physics lab that which I can not forget for my life time and post lunch we had our regular classes. Our class was in the ground floor tagged as room number ““. It was now exactly that old new familiar face was into my sight again… to my most surprise he was introduced to me by one of my best friend… nope by my only best friend as of then and could be forever.

It was just a casual intro and we left after a couple of minutes of talk, departed waving a bye. Trust me- I was soo fickle! The same face which I hated even before I could get to know his name had today turned to be my best friends’ friend and so obviously will become even mine in a few days…
As days rolled, we got to understand each other well and he became one among us. It had turned like we 3-(myself, my best friend and him) always together, walking to college in the mornings, during day together in college hours, leaving back home together and to this added our tuition life… … … we all joined the same tuition (nothing intentionally) named SST that which placed at a distance of 5 minutes walk from my place and his to as he resides just a couple of streets behind ours.[ Most interesting]… … never got to know a person for the past 5 years who lived close to our place, may be I was a good girl – like a one all-time under the roof (not even in dreams am so)… … …
We were really crazy at times, though he had a bicycle to drive back home there had hardly been any day he could use that. We were always found walking on streets which was the most interesting one for me because, there always exhisted a fear on both the faces of my best friend and him as they were worried of being caught in the eyes of their family or relatives – as how would they take – girls and guys walking together on streets everyday? …….. I dint had to worry as my parents were well known about me and my relationship with my friends. But at times I too had hesitated when got to notice any of my elderly concerned people had to cross us. (Life was fun and joy!)… … …
To mention about him, I had always admired his way of speaking to elders – really well grown with culture and ethics and at times I had also admired his fear for everything and an all-time justification master that “his family expects him to be like that or only his this way of living would suit his family”… …hmmm…I a word he can be described as “FAMILY PECK” …(Too loving)… … … I had also been crazy about his way of talking to friends and especially with so called girl-friends… to make it clear he had girls as friends but never his girl. He would hardly open his mouth though he wants to or has loads and loads to share. It’s really hell out of heaven to make him speak but to me he had shown some concern and had spoken at times. The most used word for his life time would be – the precious word – “THEN “… … … … …
