Friendship that last for life

 Friendships that last for life : The Classmate to Best friend forever

As a content writer, I must share my experience and feelings, articulated in beautiful rhymes with extraordinary vocab and eye-catching adjectives. Friendship is not a relationship but an investment of your purest form of emotions. With our friends, we do just not share happiness and achievements but fear, insecurity, and also the pain. It is way more different than any other humane relationship.

Speaking of friendship, I am an introvert so do my relationships. I am always scared of initiating the first move that is why, I have very few people in my life whom I can count on. By God’s grace, I found my best friend at a very young age. She is the most pure soul with an unfiltered opinion. In my kitchen cabinet of relationships, she acquired the whole space of friendship. A completely opposite of me, She is indeed the scintillating star of my life. 

If you ask about our first encounter,  It was indeed so melodious because she sang so well. I met her in my Primary school and we had different sections and it was the last period of Saturday, which happened to be either quiz period or music. She had just joined our school and the boys were so excited to listen to her I being me, was not even interested in this mystery girl so I was reading my GS books so that in the next quiz class, I would defeat the other section again. So, the mystery girl started singing, ‘’Vande Mataram’’ and let me tell you, her singing amused everyone because it was indeed melodious and I thought, ‘’ Wow, boys are going to die for this mysterious beauty.’’ 

So, after school, I waited for her and when she came out, I told her “You are extremely melodious and beautiful.’’ Her name was Sneha. That was my first interaction with her. But as I have told all of you, being an introvert, after that, we never talked at least for months because our sections were different. But, I liked her because I felt in the crowd of aliens, she was the sensible one. A beautiful girl who had a melodious voice and an amazing mind. When the session changed, our section emerged as one as we moved to senior secondary, Now we talked so often. We talked about so many things like music(which I have zero interest in), art, culture, literature, current affairs, maths, and the evolution of Science, and also how aliens(other girls) were so interested in boys. It was so nice to talk to her, we were trying to be good to each other but that was the honeymoon phase of our friendship and the tough phase was yet to come.

Since I was the School Captain, I have had an attitude that you can say was tough or rude or whatever adjectives you like to add, I was so adamant to follow the rules and discipline and I want everyone to bring their best foot forward. But she was nothing like this at all. She was so full of life, light, and happiness, extremely sensitive and emotional. One adjective that perfectly suits her is sunshine. ‘’In short, you can say, I was the Paris and She was my Rory ‘’ (The Gilmore Girls). Since we did have differences which tend to have a huge fight, I did not recall the exact incident but after that, we stopped talking. She was so lively so she had another friend too, I have no idea that she missed me at all but I missed her because she was the only one whom I could count on. But, as I always follow the rules I decided to stand by that. For me, that was the full stop of my friendship. 

But who knows was it the full stop or the beginning of forever? One fine evening, after school, I was checking whether the classrooms were closed or not, she was late and running so fast that I looked at her from a certain distance knowing that she was going to fall and hurt herself, which she eventually did. Although, we were not talking as my didi says,’’ Humanity must prevail’’. So, I went to her, helped her clean her wounds, and asked her what is the hurry. As her personality dictated, she started crying and I thought what should I do now? So, I offered her water very warmly and asked, if she needed me to accompany her. That’s all. We ended our very first and last cold war. From there on, My forever friendship began. 

It was not like that we never fought after that. We did but we sort things out. She is the person who knows the real me. I do not need to curtail myself at all. I can share anything with her whether my success or failure, my strength or my weakness, my courage or my fear, everything. We managed to have a strong bond of nearly 2.5 decades and I wish it will last till eternity. 

I have heard that two girls can never be friends but I have no one other than her. We do not talk daily, but still, she is my closest ally, also she harshly critiques my wrongs and my writings as well. She is my biggest supporter and loudest cheer person. At certain times, Even if I lost confidence in myself she never did. I am a person who never expresses her feelings and emotions so often, but With this article, I let her know that no one can ever be able to replace her in my life. I am so thankful to you for teaching me that it is okay to love, it is okay to be flexible, it is okay you make a mistake and to be scared. After all, we all are human. With you, by my side, I explored so many things in my life, I failed at so many things but your encouragement always motivated to me try again and again. 

Sneha, You are not just my friend but rather the guiding light, more than a sister, mentor, therapist, and whatnot. I believe that if a friendship lasts more than a decade, then the friends become family, and thank you for sharing that too. Like any kitchen cabinet, you hold so many of my secrets which I never wanted you to reveal, also thank you for listening to my endless cries whenever I lost or failed, thank you for calming me down whenever I had panic attacks. I have no idea, what I would be without you, may be sailing into the nomadic ocean which has no end. We have come a long way, so let's clap for both of us as we have managed to fight over silly things, and after that thank you for sorting things up every single time. Maybe everyone addresses me as the strongest soul but I want them to know, that it was you who played a major key role in making me the person I am today otherwise I would be wasted on some unknown island. As I always say, that Page will never be enough if I start writing about our friendship because there are so many things to say and so many things to share. So, I just want to conclude it with this french phrase,’’Espérons que notre lien durera jusqu'à l'éternité..’’
