A tale of two strangers part 2

i’m overwhelmed by all ur comments thank u soooo much everyone i was on cloud nine ???????
today’s episode will clear many doubts
recap: kunj and twinkle meeting
ok so lets start
fb

‘kunj’ – my best buddy at school. Kunj Sarna. It all started with a big fight on first day itself owing to a seat. He had occupied my usual seat on the first bench and i had, quite predictably, started fighting with him. But he had to give in due to my popularity in the class. But it didn’t end there. After that day we became regular fighters. We used to fight for every small or big thing. Our fights didn’t seem to end until our teachers vowed to end it and put us together in the same science project. No one could convince us to work together until the project was made compulsory for everyone. Our views & ideas were contradictory, quite obviously. It was only whenthe last date if submission approached that we realised it was time to work more and fight less. To everyone’s surprise and mosty to both of us – received the highest score in the project! ???????
Everyone cingratulated us. It was then we could realised that we could be friends too if we stopped fighting. Quiet surprisingly and unexpectedly we became friends actually best friends. We used to sit together, work together, share our tiffins & have fun together. We used to pull eachothers leg. We became inseparable ones. So much so that thw whole class started teasing us for our ‘chemistry’. But we didn’t care as we were concern about our friendship. Time fled away very fast .

It was all going well till the news of our unbreakable bond reached his parents. It is worth mentioning here that he came from a very conservative family, so they took our friendship too seriously. Very shockingly he left the school- in fact he was forced to leave in the very next session. Four years of fighting, working, sharing, caring- all came to an end at once without prior warning. I lost my best buddy. ??????It was like i lost myself. It changedme and my life totally. Therafter, i had friends but not best friend. I was quiet scared to be close again to anyone else as the feeling of seperation scared me.

I lost all contacts with him since 12 years ago. We didn’t had phone or social networking sites and i even didn’t know where he went and for how nany days, or even whether he would come back or not. I had so many questions to ask, so many answers to get, but there was no one to answer
fb ends…….
My bus or our bus, actually arrived. An almost filled bus. I took a corner seat and he as expected followed me & took a seat next to me.
So u r a teacher in that school? he enquired.
