A Silent FriendShip!!!!

     The first day in college, nysa(name changed) met so many new faces… some scared her coz they were monsters in the form of seniors, some frndly those of her batchmates and some of those who were to bcome her long life frnds!!

     The first few months she sat with different ppl and had chgned n no. of seats to sit with the right person who was compatible with her views, her bunking classes, her mischiefs and above all who fully agreed with any damn trait of hers. Finally she found a frnd in nidhs (name changed)… She was there to take up every blame of mischief played by nysa!! It was as if nysa wouldn’t have dreamt of nythng else in life if nidhs was there with her. She didn’t require a bf to entertain or sooth her. They used to spend huge amounts of time together at any time of day sharing all sorts of knowledge ranging frm engg, movies, songs, higher studies etc.

     Nysa witnessed a lot of groupism in college as was usual. But being with nidhs never made her feel left alone or aloof. They were enuf to tackle a group of 10 even. They spend the whole of 1st yr through the mid of second together deepening their frndship bond every min of the day!! “A wonderful relation to cherish” -- Nysa used to feel. But all of a sudden one day came whn the very trust of both nysa and nidhs came to a shattering end whn the first seed of misunderstanding started sprouting. It started growing everyday and one fine day the frndship uptil fate was broken and they parted their ways with heavy hearts!!!

     Now nysa found herself totally left aloof frm the rest of the college crowd with nidhs not there to support her nymore!! Then to her gr8 relief, nysa found shelter in a group of 5, the sixth one being nysa herself. But she was there with them superficially everytime thnking of the moments she had spent with Nidhs. She used to thnk many a times to go and get her back. But tht time came only after 3 yrs. Whn they both had left college and were pretty much settled in jobs. Now they r once again back with their frndship.

     Once being a group of 6 she also started inflicting herself with grpism traits. Now there was this particular group with whom she limited her interaction uptil a hollow “Hi”. But one person amongst this group, with a beautiful and mesmerizing smile always attracted her!! Being a silent chap and being herself an introvert by nature she could never ever approach him for a talk. Nor did he have the guts to cross the limit of those smiles exchanged btwn them!! Was it the groupism causing an hindrance or something else … they never knw the reason for sure, even whn they have bcome close frnds now!!!

     Days passed in college with both of them exchanging just smiles. Nysa got involved in her grp and D got ngaged in his. In btwn they started talking but all related to studies and finally it was the 7th sem of the college. By this time both of them talked but to b specific just 5-6 in the ntire 31/2 yrs of engg. Now their final yr training forced thm to bid adeau to each other, this time too with a smile. Nysa’s training forced her to be away from her parents itself and D also!! By now both of them had taken it for granted tht we both can never b frnds and can b knwn only as batchmates!!

     During final yr exams also they never met and finally Nysa went away frm D as per the requirement of her job, thus leaving it to fate tht they were not destined to meet or be frnds. Then one fine day to Nysa’s utter surprise, D called up to inform her, tht he had got a job in the very place as she was! Now her happiness knew no bounds coz she had got a call frm a person whom she hardly ever talked and feared giving a smile even!! Then with the passing time they started chatting on YM and phone and became very fast frnds. They started seeing each other on weekends (if possible). And donno how such a sweet frndship took shape btwn both of them, in just 4 months time, which they could never even dare to initiate in 4 yrs time!!

     Now both of them are miles apart from each other but even now when either of them feels down and thinks of talking to someone – it has to be D/Nysa after their parents!!! These are the moments when Nysa believes in fate. If it wouldn’t have been for fate they would have never ever have had been frnds, coz college never allowed them to even talk but once out, their urge to become friends got them together and 2day they share a relation they both will cherish till fate!!!

Even I wonder sometimes this is how true frndship sprouts, matures and grows fully.....
