Since t few days, I was feeling very low. With every passing day, I was just going with the flow. But by yesterday night, I had had enough of this harsh side. I didn’t know what the problem was, but I still tried to figure it out. Sitting alone in the balcony, my eyes were not filled with tears, but agony.
I don’t know why but I picked up the phone. Guess I needed a friend, I just couldn’t be alone. It had been four months since we last talked. I was low, but excitement, I couldn’t withhold. I blurted immediately that I was missing him, how would have I known that he was officially dim? He did tell me that he was down four shots. Anyways, I just carried on with my thoughts. I reiterated, told him that I was feeling very lonely. He told me to shout, thought I was speaking really slowly. I told him “I will talk later, I am not feeling good tonight.” He told me to wait, did some changes, and started listening with all his might. “Hello…hello!!!” as I said, I became really unsure. But at that moment I couldn’t be alone, I really needed a cure. “Yeah, tell me.” He asked. I was blank but still started to talk. I told him I am confused, I am lost. He took a large burp, said that I sound as if I had a bad break up. I was startled, I was shocked. I told him I had nothing more to talk. He continued anyways. He said ”dude, it’s just one of your off days.”
Probably he was right. As I tried to convey this, something happened on his side. I don’t know what it was, I didn’t care. But, next I heard, my friend had already started to share. He went down the memory lane, he was sounding really inane. “I used to have so many off days, I still do. But whatever the conditions were, I always had you.” That first line filled me with emotions. I told him to stop, but he didn’t listen. “I remember each and every moment together, specially the days we were scolded badly by others.” A little bit, I chuckled. But to make sense of what he was saying, I really struggled. He asked “Remember the day when we were thrown out of school?” how could I ever forget that? We were such a fool. “I obvious…” I tried to say, but he was way ahead of me yesterday.
“Do you remember when I was riding your cycle, and you were sitting behind? As we were approaching the dead end, speeding was only on my mind. I thought I would break easily. Alas, you never told me that the breaks were not working, you silly!” he said. I was laughing out my brains, as I remembered that experience ending in the drains. I was not over with this one, as he reminded me of another stupid act, which together we had done.
“And the one, when on “Dio”, we were speeding, I saw back and saw that a traffic police was following. You asked me who it was, and I said some brat wanted to race with us? You started speeding showing him the finger, but later realized when we were stopped at the very next signal.” He continued. It was hilarious, that memory was the stupidest one we had, that traffic police wanted to hit us real bad. Thankfully, good amount of money my friend had, he was a little drunk, I later realized.
A couple of more unstoppable incidents he remembered, as I realized how my mood had transfigured. After around half an hour we hung up the phone, within seconds I heard a sms alert tone.
“We forgot to discuss the day when in physics we flunked!” he had smsed, “will discuss it when you are not drunk!” I simply replied.
