February Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Love”
In memory of my dearest BFF
I had my yoga session at 3.30 pm today. After logging in at 3.25 I sat around waiting for it to start and read the participant’s names as they joined. One name made me reel in shock with a sense of deja vu. I had a classmate in high school. We were BFFs. Then, after the 12th grade, I moved to a different city, feeling quite heartbroken at leaving my friends behind. When we met a week before, I had no inkling that it would be the last time I saw her. She gave me a little gift and a couple of roses. She was always amused when I pressed flowers in my big fat dictionary.
Well, a few months passed. I was busy writing entrance exams to get into a medical college. I also wrote her many letters. Those days, we hung around our gates waiting for the postman. It was puzzling that she never wrote back.
Then, after I enrolled in college, we had a visitor from that city. When I asked them if they had any news about her, they looked surprised and told me she had died in a fire. I still remember my grandma shooting daggers at this person for telling me. Apparently, everyone had known.
