I used to call him SAM,well later came to know that it was his pet name. (By the way,I've to tell u this.I often give nick names to ma close friends,which would be different and I should b the only person who calls them by that name.So,in Sam's case,I had to adjust.)Thus,me and Sam became real close and I was happy that I got a friend who matches up my expectations of a friend.We met in college.I saw a Skinny guy in front of me,so thin that I wondered how this guy's alive with this body(I still have the same doubt)I used to make visits to his class.Huh,a junior visit'n her senior? Doesn't that seem odd? Well,it does.
People started notic'n and passed on comments.I was so dumb that I never noticed anyth'n.All that mattered was my friend Ali/Sam. But,things were different in his case.He was bothered and he started behav'n indifferent.No calls,no chats,no messages and no missed calls!! Whenever we met,he used to ignore me.I was worried.Didn't know what exactly was happen'n between the two of us.I couldn't find any fault on my side.Became frustrated and I too started ignor'n him.Deleted him from Orkut list,and even from ma life.But it was always bother'n me coz i lost a good friend for nothing!
Later,He again added me up in orkut,but all our conversations were formal.It used to b a "Hi!","How r u","Wassup?","Hows life?" or "bye" noth'n else.I was still bothered but didn't show it up.
But,today,on friendship day,I couldn't hide it at all.I thought for a while,"Should I ask him what the reason was?Will he think that I'm crazy?"
Lots and lots of questions popped up.I was insecure about "what he'll think".
But finally,I made up ma mind,"Let him think whatever he wants.I've to ask him".
Finally,shot him with ma questions through a mail.I didn't want to ask him through orkut though,i was insecure,and he suggested me to mail him.Got his reply within seconds.It seemed funny.He said he was bothered about what people were talk'n about and that was the reason!
"Huh? Doesn't that sound funny? Usually gals bother about all these crap,but here,the lady's fine about it and the guy's bothered! Is he nuts?" I thought.
"Eh Sam? Is this the reason? Hahaha..How could you? Just imagine u & me together..Hahaha.. Doesnt that seem funny?"
Errr...I said he's skinny,But didnt explain how I look.Well,I'm just the opposite. :-D
We went on pass'n a few more mails regard'n the same topic.Anyways,I was happy coz he finally said,he had no problem talk'n to me and he's normal now :-D
"I missed you" I said.
"Cool..Whatever gal..Water under bridge".
Well,I didnt understand what he meant by that.
"It means past is past".
"So, friends again"?
"Y do you even ask that question?"
"Will u stay the same or act like a chameleon again?"
I really don't want history to repeat.
"Sure it will but i can promise that it'll only get better :-)"
He had to leave.I'm sleepless,but it doesn't mean that others should also be the same.Thus we ended up our conversation wish'n each other with "happy friendship day" and pass'n bye and good night.
I could feel a cold breeze sooth'n me.I'm happy.I finally got him back. Dunno whether he knows this,this guy was once really special,as a friend or more like a brother. Now,he's back.I missed u Sam :-( Hope things will get back to normal.Huh,how can i trust guys?they are all the same. ;-) hehehe,Lets see what will happen. :-)
