The Best Friend Whom I Love!

By Manickavalli Arumugam

Friends and Friendship is one of the most cool and most wonderful gifts from God. Its pure, It has no negativity or shortcomings and meanness in its relationship. I have been gifted with with a lots of wonderful friends through out my years, but looking up to and naming some one as your #bestfriend indeed requires a lot of happenings and strength. I have been gifted with a best friend too. It must have been during my sixth grade that I first met my best friend at school. I wasn’t a bright student. I was just a average student with sweat, scoldings, and a uniform. It must have been a time when I was looking up for a someone a shoulder to lay down and share my problems, My happenings and feelings. I saw this fat girl and a short haircut with two other girls during a lunch break. I did find her. We just got introduced to each other through common friends. We then used to meet each other for the next two years exchange hi and byes and leave to chase our own study lives. We were coordinated in one class during our 9th Grade in the middle of a tense situation. Both of us badly wanted to give in matriculation for our board exams. Being Average students our school had to force us to get into a state level for one year alone. So our coordination happened in the middle of lots of tears and tension. We were made to sit together in one row. I guess we maintained that order till we separated, say till we almost ended our school life. And as days passed, We became very close and best friends besides putting a lot of hard work on our studies as well. Our Friendship continued for the next three years. I was the most possessive out of the both. Our Days went by at chatting lunch breaks, interesting shettol games, some fights just because either of us has got a little close with our other friends, field trips, exchanging and creating greetings and record notes on friendship, visiting each others homes, and getting to know our families.

I guess Being Too Close can lead to a lot of problems. Being possessive about each other leads to a lot of expectations from each other. Misunderstandings led to bigger fights between us. We were not on talking terms. Its quite funny, but the day We fought bitterly and decided that we can no longer hold on, I went into a severe typhoid fever, and she into a severe depression for years later on due to that. It took me a month to recover and get back to my studies. She did try to make up with me later during that period, but I resisted since I was deeply hurt. I repend for that right now. I wish we had worked out and continued our Friendship.

Best Friends are meant to be forever. Though I have lots of wonderful friends today I still miss her and want her back in my life.As for you guys Please cherish all the best friends who came into your life and made a beautiful impact on you. God Bless!
