“The making of friends, who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life."- Edward Everett Hale
If the above Quote is true then I must say that I’m sure of being the most successful woman on earth, as I have made the best of them, be it in college or be it with my roommates.
Well!!! I would love to tell you about the most special friends I have apart from college. I call them the ‘most precious and beautiful gems’ of my treasure. And that is what they are. When you are away from your home, you would always want the kind of people, who would give you the same love and affection you are given at home, and me being the only child was pampered a lot at home, so my expectations a bit too high(lol). Three years somehow went by having roommates calling me the most hyper active and what not, tired and disgusted with such comments, I gave up on my hopes of having roommates who would accept me for what I am, until I met these two.
It was in my second year, I was sitting in my room one afternoon, after I came back from my speaker’s club meeting, wondering who my new roommate would be, till I heard a knock at the door. This pretty girl enters the room with her family and says “Hi”. Well!!! That is when I got my 1st beautiful treasure ‘Sayoomi’, myyyyyy Sayu (that is how she addresses her dear one’s, myyyyy Thashi). A baby by nature to whom I feel like a mother, pampering, advising n lot more.
A month after that, I was going out, when I saw this new gal in my hostel hall watching TV. I met up with my guy and told him “there is this kinda hot (not the exact word I used) girl in my hostel". Days passed by, I got to know this hot girl, God!!! She is not just hot she is crazy. I was so amused that there is somebody as crazy as me and it cannot be anybody better than ‘Meetha’ or Meeti (that is what I call her). The name ‘Meetha’ or Meeta (that is how I would love to spell her name) itself tells the kind of person she is. The sweetest girl ever.
It’s been two years together, we have laughed together, made fun of each other, cried together and wiped each other’s tears, cooked together, watched movies together, laughed o’er Sayu, embarrassing her. We have been there for each other, be it giving hope to another, encouraging and being one another’s strength. From throwing water balloons at my boyfriend for breaking up with me to celebrating when we got back. Every single min they were there for me, knowing my emotions and being a part of it.
Life is more than just beautiful with these two in it. It is so much better. A day without one of them feels so empty; I dread to think of that day when both of them are not there around me as that day is not too far away. And the fun we have is coming to an end. Every moment we spent is worth cherishing for life time and if given a chance I would want to have these moments all o’er again because every bit of it is worth being a part of.
“I’m going to miss you both. Meeti like you say ‘wish we could stop the time’ ”.
