It was raining all around and beside me there was this person who was very fond of it. It lit up her eyes, like an all joyous feeling within her had risen up. She walked into that intense rain, like it was calling to her. To know what made her do that, I went along. And then she spoke.
Go away !
Okay .
Will you do anything that I say..!
ha..
As I began to walk away from her, she dragged me outside again. She started to fill her cupped hands with the pouring rain, but before she could throw it in my face, I had already thrown a handful on hers. And we started playing in that rain. But as time passed, she started to move away from me and started to dance in that rain. It seemed as if she cared for nothing, she was just being herself in that moment. Dancing and singing in that rain with all those graceful movements, it was a sight to watch.
I watched her from afar, astounded. I looked at her and wondered to myself, why did I hate that girl once, quite literally, totally hated her. Her voice, her presence, it didn’t make sense.
Yet all I saw in those eyes, was herself. All this time, I really hadn’t put my heart into her or even tried to look at her from her side. I laughed and looked at the sky, in the end it happened anyway. I looked at her, she was being herself in her world. It went on raining, and so did her dance. Soon a familiar feeling had risen, to not be in that world of hers and I walked away from there.
As I walked through the rain. I felt something , “damn why did I leave her alone in that rain?”. Quickly, I made my way to her, by that time it had stoped raining. And there she was sitting alone, gazing into the unknown. I sat beside her and asked.
what happened ?
When I got into this college, I dreamed of leaving it together with my lover.
ooh. Tell me ? you might not have gotten what you wished for. But you’ve got yourself a handful of friends who will be with you for the rest of your life.
True.
Isn’t it better that way.
What an Idiot, I thought to myself. Then again I couldn’t help her from feeling that way, as I had kept myself at a distance from her, but it was for other reasons. Nevertheless, we shared many memories. And sometimes there will be constant nagging and beatings between us, the never-ending kind. Perhaps it is a trait we share. Above all She is a beautiful person and a fool and also an idiot.
And now that person has left on her journey. Its not like I miss that person now, but at some point I know I will miss her. And when that happens, I know what I have to do. For now it’s her jounery, let her discover herself through her own path. No matter what, she will be always my friend…
