In our life time we would have made lots of friends and met lots of people. Some of them tend to become special. We may or may not be in touch with them.We may not remember them even but certain things about them always remains with us . Whenever we remember those moments there will always be a smile on our faces. I also had a friend like this and I would like to tell all about him
This incident is of that time when I was in Class 2 or may be 3 (I don't even remember). I had a friend or you can say as classmate. His name as much as I remember was Tapan (but not sure though). We both used to sit in the same bench. So must of our time we spent at the school we were in each others company. During lunch break we also had lunch together. We used to talk a lot in the class also. No we didn't talk so much that we got punished. We used to enjoy each others' company a lot.
The days passed very smoothly. One day he informed me his dad is getting transferred from our city so he will leaving soon. I asked him for how long will he be gone . He told that his dad told that they will be gone for six years. And he also told that after six years he will come and again get admission in the same school so we will be again be friends. We used make elaborate talks regarding our lives after six years. I remember a particular instance, on that day we were standing on a slope just near our school gate and we both were having ice creams. And as usual we were discussing about his leaving. The scene is still fresh in my mind.
I don't remember when he left , but he was gone. I don't remember his face even. But I know one thing for sure he was a great friend and the time we had spent together was good. In some part of my mind I still hope to meet him one day. I am not sure even if I meet him I will be able to recognise him. He might not even remember me also. I even thought of going back to school and search the records to know his name, address etc. Whatever it may be he was a good friend and will always remain special.
