Yesterday and today were important days for me. Yesterday I met Sayalee’s fiancé for the first time and today I coincidently met Varya’s parents.. They said that she has gone to London for next 2 years, things happened too quickly.. I didn’t know.. We were planning to meet, but never got a chance.
These two women have been with me for last 14 years. Long time, isn’t it? Both of them have something newsworthy happening with them at this moment in time. My life right now is going too smooth.. It’s been quite some time something adventurous happened to me. Nevermind.. That’s not the point I am trying to make.
I looked back today. Glanced at all those years we have known each other, the 3 of us. From the time we met for the first time, when I had joined VPM school and these 2 city kids had bullied me. I had hated them then.. Only for a few days or maybe months.. Sayalee the topper kid in class and Varya the girl who was learning karate and was better at it than most of the boys in the class. And I was.. this kid in a new place hoping to be given some room in their gang of friends .. But I wasn’t trying too hard.
I cannot pinpoint that particular moment when we became friends. But, like I have always believed people don’t really change.. we haven’t changed at all. What we were then, we still are very much the same people. Varya still never breaks down in front of us, she never talks about her hurts.. Never.. No one gets to hear that. Sayalee still sobs on the phone. And, I still hold back my tears , even if they keep forming in my eyes again and again.
And at this juncture.. we will have to go through the test of time again. Varya gone for 2 years, without meeting us.. And, sayalee suddenly absolutely busy with her relationship. That won’t affect my relationship with her, I know... Yet, it scares me.
The fact that I couldn’t meet Varya hurt me. I mean she will be gone for the most crucial years of our lives.. She missed meeting Sayalee’s fiancé , would miss Sayalee’s engagement and her wedding too.. And we will miss being a part of her important moments.
There is so much to write.. But, I am too sleepy now.. I will pen it down some other day..
