She looked so serene….. was that the white sari that adorned her or that unusual glow on her face!!! Of course, it was her day- she was bidding farewell to her single hood. She was getting married….
I was overwhelmed with emotions that I couldn’t figure out- when I saw her standing in the altar, with her future husband at her side. She will be a wife in no time…. My little buddy was becoming a part of some one’s life. I know she has taken a step ahead in life’s hierarchy. And I stood in a stair- where we both once belonged, giggling nervously at the life that stretched in front of us. There; he tied that sacred thread around her neck and they were pronounced “man & wife”. All through the one and a half hour long ceremony I was thinking of us- our school days, the pranks we did, those silly fights we had, those bitter tears we shed, those hilarious jokes we shared… I know I won’t be taking a bus to Vaikom and, I won’t find her waiting for me at that house near the rice fields, in Chemmanathukara. I might hereafter meet her in a chat window and have a glimpse of her over the webcam. She would have put on a few more pounds by thenJ. Else we might meet in one of those busy malls or coffee day or Barista- somewhere in the Mumbai. Yeah, she is going to be a part of the Amchi Mumbai crowd!!!
As I scrolled the contact list in my cell phone- found hers and then before I pressed the call button- I thought for a while, is it the right time? Can I call her now? Will she be busy? And then I decide not to call and wait for her call…
Life won’t be the same for both of us. I can’t barge into her life whenever I feel like. I will have to be patient- knock on the door and then wait to be ushered in. We won’t be meeting each other whenever we feel like; perhaps if we were in the same city- things would have been better.
Life moves on and I know she will feel the same things I felt when she stands by my side on my special day:-). But nothing or no one can take your place my friend, your place in my life will always be yours- u can run out and be sure, find your way back any time u feel like- it’s always yours :-)
