once upon a time

once upon a time, chronologically speaking say in the mid nineties there lived a boy, a boy, yes an ordinary boy who suddenly woke up one morning to find that a friend of his , who he never thought was his best friend or even special was moving out, not out of delhi, but just to another location, heartbroken the boy was,but could not figure out why, yes why would he he was just around 10, he was confused, sad, shocked, everything but never gave a second thought as to why he was getting those feelings, the meetings they had came down to once every 2 months, to once every three months, move on to the period when the boy just waited for the community get togethers they had and found an oppurtunity to meet her, the time they spent together be it 5 mins to sometimes when they (or better said when he) got lucky to around an hour, but the boy enjoyed everybit of it.
time moved on and one day, when nothing seemed special one of his very special friend again made the day special for him...hmmm special is less, he made it very special for him, the day he cherishes till date, he said nothing like winning a treasure or fortune or about going in for a foreign trip, what he said was that the girl who left that place so many years ago was coming back, coming back as she had mved to a higher class, yeah class eight it was and there was problem finding tutors for her, that was january and she was to move in in april, each day seemed like a year but time waits for none, the day came and they were together finally, hope this had been the ending for the boy but alas, happy endings donot come so easy, moments again became special, the boy used to wait for the gal everyday after school as both their buses used to come at almost the same time and somedays he used to wait for 15 minutes to just walk the distance of 5 minutes together, somedays that was not the case as maybe her bus had arrived earlier.cyclerides became very special for the boy as he never missed an oppurtunity to cycle round her house and wait eagerly to catch a glimpse of her..

again came the spring of his life and the girl and the boy studied together at the same tutor and the boy again waited everyday so that he can drop the girl home and spend a few moments with her.
day in day out he grew more and more towards her, he started liking her and that was the first love of his life, he thought of proposing her, but somehow couldnot get the courage to do so, he waited , in between came the boy's class tenth exams and his friends suggested to say it to her the day he finishes his boards, he waited eagerly for his boards to get over and began the countdown, the boards were over, so the next day morning was decided as the day he was going to do it.next day morning he had a two hour task of writting the exam for a blind boy, went there and while returning found the complex filled with cars , the number of cars he had not seen before at a time in the complex, went home but no one was there, waited , waited after about an hour his mother came and they went inside only to listen that the girls someone very close, very special had died the previous night and everything came shattering down, he still remembers the date , the boy went there but to see his friend, his girl, his everything crying over....well destiny played its part and the boy got to learn that the girl and her family were leaving the next day morning to their home town for around a month.

the month passed by they returned back, the boy now also used to wait for the girl, be it tuitions , after school or anything and used to observe the moistness in her eyes, the void that had been created in her life, at the tender age of around 15 when people still enjoy being with family, to loose out somebody ,who constituted more than her family was shocking and can break anyone, time started to move again , she was in class tenth and the boy continued to find reasons to be with her, to spend time together, he came to know about that the girl and her remaining family were again relocating somewhere and the short dream period the boy was having ended , but before that the boy made various attempts to atleast let her know of his feelings , sometimes asking his same old friend who told him earlier about their planning of returning back, the girl also seemed to like the boy as reported by his friends and as suggested by his observations.
