The first day of my new school .I enter my classroom "8 A" .The board outside my class said so.Just took a glance through my classmates,they all were in groups excepting for a girl and a boy .They were sitting on the third last bench. The only ones who did not care that a new student had entered their classroom .They were busy talking to each other .I went towards them and said "hi" to the girl .She said "hello" and ignored me .I tried again .This time she asked "You seem to be new to class" and the ice broke between us.Soon i was friends with them.
Time passed 8th std was over.Through the time i saw them being happy together ,sad together.If something would go wrong with one of them ,i could see that worried expression on the other's face also. I was also their friend but could never feel what they felt for each other .I knew i had a place of mine in both of their lives.We would hang out together ,go for movies and have fun.That was my only part in their life.I still remember how our days were spent.We met at school ,after our school was over went home and again met in the evening to play.This went on for the next two years.
Standard 10th got over .She came as usual at 6:30 in the evening ,dressed in the same way wearing a pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt .And she broke the news one evening pretending to be normal but i knew how sad she was from inside ."Guys my dads being transfered to Lucknow ,so i am leaving next week".I still cant forget that day.I was not happy to hear that ,but it did not make me sad either.I looked at him he did not change his expression.He just said casually "Really,so you going to Lucknow" and craked a silly joke after that.And we spent that evening casually as if nothing really happened.A week passed ,and the day came when she was leaving.We went to her place to say good bye.I Hugged her and i cried ,she also cried.He was standing next to us and again just passed a joke thet we girls are so sissy and she left.
It was 11th standard's first day .Now i was his partner in class now .We used to talk as usual about missing her,how stupid she is and everything.The school would get over like this.Initially we missed her alot .More than me he did.He was emotionally lonely. I could realise that ,i could see that emptyness in his eyes.He never shared anything with me,i neither tried to ask also because i knew whom he would talk to. I knew i couuld not take that place in his life. And after a certain time i did not miss her and neither did he do.All three of us made new friends.But there was one thing which was still constant ,their relationship.Time kept passing.We entered college.
He fell in love with a girl.The first person who came to know about it was 'she'. She found the man of her dreams and he helped her to woo that guy. He told her everything whatever happened in his life and vice versa.He got his first job and he sends a gift for her.I just could not beleive that there were friends in this world who loved each other so much,cared for each other,cried together,laughed together and valued each other so much despite staying in different cities and having different lives.I believe every person has a place for him/her in a person's life and no one can replace anyone.
Its been 8 years now,Everything has changed ,I am married ,he has married the same girl and she has also married that geek ,but one thing has still not changed ,their realtionship.All these years I didnt resent their friendship,but i wish i was a part of it.They live in different countries but that love ,respect and their friendship is still intact.That purity in their relationship can still be seen at the first sight!!!
