A Girl who became my best friend and
then…
Dedicated to: -
Anu,
my girl, for me she is the only person whom I can rely on.
Like all the regular days, today, also I went to school and had fun over there but ya classes were boring. I came back home and got ready for my tuitions. I and my brother used to go to same place for tuitions the only difference was that he was in 8th grade and I was 10th. So we always used to go together and after reaching there used to go to the rooms in which we were supposed to be. I reached the room where I had my class and as usual the moment I entered the room all the guys were looking at me like I am a fairy or what. I used to feel so odd when I joined the tuition I was the only girl in there at that time but now I am used to it. And then after a few minutes our teacher said “Read this lesson and ask me if you have any problems.” We all were sitting there and pretending that we are reading but we all were chatting none of us was serious at that time and then a girl entered that room with her mom and they started talking to our teacher so that she can join our class. I took a quick glance of her, she was wearing a purple shirt and a blue bib jeans. And then all the guys started passing comments which they usually did when any girl joined the class they never did it when I joined the class coz I was the first girl there and I joined the class from the very first day. They always used to tell those comments to me and I used to laugh at them. And then one of the guys said “Hey, she can’t stop her jean from falling down that is why she is wearing the one which can hold for jeans from her shoulders so that it does not comes down.” And I laughed at it. But then as the comments where going on I paid attention to her and ignored the comments. She looked pretty but she would look much better if she gets her teeth fixed with the help of braces. But she still is pretty. I had all this stuff in my thoughts when I was looking at her. And then I just got distracted by Pallavi, she said “Hey why are you not laughing at the comments” and I said “Sorry, I dint heard the comments.” And then there was another comment I don’t remember what the comment was but I said “Shut up you guys.” I was feeling bad for her and when ever I used to hear any comment for her I used to say shut up. Pallavi was staring at me and then she said “what’s wrong with you? You are always included in the comments but today you are saying shut up why what happened?” I said “Nothing, I am cool.” Our teacher introduced her to us by saying “Class, this is a new student and her name is Anuradha.” And he asked her to come and join the girls and be comfortable. And then one of the boys said “Anuradha Porwal” and I bursted into laughter. I think she felt bad but I was not laughing at her, I was laughing at that singer god she sounds so crazy the way she looks and the way she sings and her name it sounds really crazy. She came and sat next to Pallavi I said Hi! To her and so did she and the she said “you can call me Anu.” I said “and you can call me Meha.” Pallavi and Anu kept talking to each other for the whole class time and I was neither studying nor talking I guess I was lost in thoughts and I don’t even remember what thoughts I was in. I felt like Anu was an angel for me. I never felt in that way for any girl earlier but this time I don’t know what that was. I think I was the only person in the tuition at that time who thought that she was pretty coz if someone else did then they would be looking at her but no one was, everybody was busy chatting. And then the tuition ended and we all went back home. And then I kept on seeing her in tuition everyday and we both used to talk to each other now but not that much as she and Pallavi would. And then gradually we both became friends, when she joined the class she was too close to Pallavi but now she was much closer to me than she was to Pallavi. We both became Best Friends. We used to share everything about our life with each other there was not even a single topic about my life which she dint knew about. She used to come to my home before going to the tuition and then we both used to go together. We used to be chatting all the time when we were not together we both used to chat on phone. We hardly used to study when we both were together we were always chatting. Soon, she became a very big part of my life and it was like I felt incomplete without her. She was like everything to me. And after a few days my mom told me that I have to go to Mumbai for my aunt’s marriage. I was sad for leaving my friend but I was excited coz I love weddings. I went for the wedding and had a lot of fun but I missed Anu, she was the only person whom I missed. I came back after a week and the moment I reached home I was the first person to get ready coz I dint wanted to miss my tuition coz I dint wanted to miss the chance to meet Anu. I washed my hair at that time even thou I knew that it will make me late for tuition but still I did and so I went to tuition with my hair open. Today I left alone for the tuition coz my bro had already left before me and Anu dint knew that I am back. I reached the tuition and opened the door and there was my bro’s class sitting and I pushed my bro from behind and said hi to him and coz of my pushing him he feel on floor and I laughed and said see you later and went towards the room where I had my class. And I opened the door and my hair flew coz of the wind and I had a smile on my face which made me look cute and all the eyes were on me. I went inside the room after standing at the door for a minute. I said Hi! to everyone and then I just started to walk toward my seat but then I noticed that there was another girl sitting at my place. I remembered that she used to be in my tuition in 9th grade, her name is Deepika. Well, she used to be very irritating at that time but now she seemed to be changed. I could not find a place to sit I felt like she was steeling everything from me. When we had the break I went and stood next to Anu and tried to talk to her. And then everyone started saying to me that Deepika is going out with Gautam. He was trying to go out with me but I was not much interested in him before I went to Mumbai and now after hearing this I said “I don’t care about it.” I tried to talk to Anu but Deepika was continuously talking to Anu and I felt bad. I don’t know why Anu was not talking to me I don’t know what happened at the tuition when I was not there. After that day, I and Anu rarely used to talk to each other. And then Anu became a good friend of Deepika. It was like I lost everything in my life. My life was incomplete without her. I had lost myself the girl who I used to be a happy-go-lucky nature one. I hardly used to talk to anyone at that time and I just used to cry. Now I dint had interest in anything I dint feel like studying also and I started getting low in studies. My score which used to be like 20/20 became like 12/20 or sometimes less than that. My parents started scolding me which never used to happen it was like everything was taken away from me coz of Deepika. And then one day at tuition I started teasing Deepika coz I felt bad that she stole everything from me. And I called her sister-in-law coz one of the guys over there liked her and I treated all the guys there as my bro. And ya when I started hanging around with Varun she was the one who used to tease me the most. And after the tuition we argued outside and I felt like saying all the abuses and curse her in front of everyone and then she said “you are a low class girl trying to act like a high class girl” and after that when I said all trash to her Anu supported her but not me and that day I had lost Anu completely I just told all this to my bro and no one else my life was shattered in just few seconds. I said many things to Deepika at that time but I was not even able to say a word for Anu I could not even say that Anu how can you just go against me without even telling me what I did I wanted to cry over there but I did not wanted to show Deepika that I was weak at that time because my strength, Anu was supporting her while Pallavi was on both sides so I dint said anything to her coz she was trying to be fair on both sides. I was in depression. I acted like I was normal in front of everyone but most of the times I used to stay alone and everybody at my home used to think that I am studying in my room while I used to be crying. I tried to get that happy-go-lucky Meha back in my life but it was hard to do. Then I changed a bit and tried to stay happy without friends I dint made friends with anyone else after that coz I could not control myself by losing someone again. And then one day, after the tuition we all were going back home and that day the only girls at tuition were I and Anu. And while going back home I just asked her what did I do wrong that you left me all alone? And she dint replied to me and then I asked her “Can we be friends again?” and she said “we were friends and we can be friends but now I cant have that old thing again with you.” And when I heard this tears came out of my eyes I tried to hide them from her but could not and she was like stop crying why are you crying. I was just wondering what is the reason that she said this to me. And then she said “yes we can be friends but I don’t want to talk about old things now we will have a new start” I agreed. And she said that she had promised Pallavi that she will be going to her house and asked me to accompany her I did and we talked all the way to her house and while we were coming back. I felt better but not really good. And then we became friends like we used to be and then when we both became best friends again Deepika stopped talking to her and Anu used to say I understand why she is not talking to you but I don’t understand why is she not talking to me. But I knew the reason and I never said that to Anu and the reason was that Deepika dint wanted me to have any friends coz when I met her in 9th grade we both dint had someone who could be called a best friend and now I had one and she dint and so she stole everything from me and now when I have it back she is ignoring them. I always knew that this would happen if Deepika will ever come in my life. But then I and Anu decided that we won’t worry about anyone else except for each other. We were friends again and we both were happy we guys used to talk to each other for a long time and then came our board exams and we both used to study together not by sitting in front of each other but on phone we guys used to be on phone for several hours discussing our answers and every day after the exam we used to discuss the answers. We used to have fun while studying. Well people say that friends separate in vacations but we both used to talk everyday even in our vacations and then my bro, sis and aunt left India and went to Canada and I used to feel lonely without them and I used to remember them and cry I dint talked to anyone except for Anu those days. And then after a few weeks I felt better and then I came back to my life and used to talk to everyone but even a mention of my bro or sis used to make me cry. And then was the biggest shock of my life for me I was supposed to leave India and stay in USA. I did not wanted to leave India I got scared of losing my friend once again but that is what we call destiny I had to leave India and the biggest thing which hurts me is that I could not meet Anu before leaving India and I don’t have any contact information about her. She is still somewhere in me. She is still a part of me. In my life no one can take her place. I don’t know whether she still remembers me or not but I can never forget her. Never. I still have many things to tell to her. I am just waiting for a chance to meet her or to talk to her. She is that pretty angel in my life who just fills my life with joy.
