Mahir's POV

Coming home I had dinner and then went to my room. 

I checked my phone if she has sent me the poem or not. Soon message popped in. 

Yess!! That's the poem. 

See Mahir maheshwari.  Promises are meant to be kept and this girl is keeping her promises. 

Yeah because she's different. Different from every one. 

I saw the poem.  It was in hindi.

Interesting. Let's read it.

The title was

"Ek Sham"
Vo jab pehli dafa ham mile....
Chand ko zara yeh keh jaau !
Aaj ke din raat hi na ho...
Esi sham tere sath bitau !!
Vo gagan halka gulabi ho...
Or rang me tere mai rang jaau !
Baate bhi bas aankho se ho....
Esi sham tere sath bitau !!
Vo har lamha kaid kar...
Yaade teri mai sanjaau !
Bas ese hi khud ko tujhme khokar mai...
Zindagi tere naam kar jaau !!
Bas ese hi khud ko tujhme khokar mai...
Zindagi tere naam kar jaau!!

I.. I didn't know what to say. These lines were repeating in my mind. I again started reading it.... Once.. Twice.. Thrice... I mean.. Yeah I've read many writers but I feel like she has so good hidden talent.

She writes so well. Like the lines are simple yet elegant and classic. Directly touching.

Suddenly a message popped in. It was then when I realized that I've not replied her.

Mahir. What an idiot you are. Instead of complimenting her.. You did not even reply her.

I told her that how beautiful she has written it.

"Surbhi.. This hidden talent is not what everyone have... Never stop writing " I typed her.

" Yeah. You know writing has now become my part " she said

" you've written beautiful Surbhi. I want to really read more " I messaged

" Mahir.. Mahir.. I'll send after some days okay. Don't get so super excited." she said

"yeah yeah Ms. Poetess. " I replied

" Surbhi are you going to Priya and Aanand's wedding " I asked

" Of course I'll. If I'll not be present there. She'll eat me raw " she said

"Great. " I replied

It means she'll be present there. At least I'll have a good company. But will she stay with you.  Why not she's my friend.

Yeah Good friend.

I thought and smiled.
We talked for a little more time.

" Okay then. Good night "  She messaged. 

What she's sleeping so early.

" You are sleeping so early" I asked

"What. Is it early Mahir ? I've to go college tomorrow and as I said it's last day at college and hospital and then exams after a month... And it's 2 Am Mahir. So I need to sleep " she messaged

What. Is it really 2 Am. 

Great Mahir.  You don't even know from how long are you talking.... But talking with her time flew so early...and it seemed that I can talk with her for whole night without a single yawn..

What's happening with me. I never showed this much interest in talking with anyone. Why she...shutup Mahir.  

"Yeah.. I didn't see time. Sorry " I replied

" It's okay. Actually.  I didn't even know when time flew like this. It seemed that just now we started talking " she said

" Yeah.Even I didn't know I'm on the phone since long. I've not talked with anyone so much" I replied

Yeah I've never talked with anyone for so long.

"Because you don't make friends. If you make then off course you will " she said.

Why the hell her every talk come and stops over friend.

" Surbhi. It's late you should sleep." I messaged

"Hmm" she said

"Good night. Take care" I wished

"You too. Gn" she said .

I finally kept my phone and went to sleep. I don't know why she always came across only one point... But I'm feeling good. It feels like I'm having peaceful sleep nowadays.  Soon I drifted into a peaceful lumber....

5-10 days passed like this.  Surbhi and I became very good friends. She was really a jolly girl. Whenever I was in a bad mood I just thought to talk to her and just thinking that made me feel good...

Not only in bad moods whenever I felt good about anything I talked to her because there are very few people in this world who really feel happy when you are happy and I'm happy that I've such friend with me.

 Surbhi has made me feel what a friend in years can't make you feel.

She's really different.  Different from everyone around. In these days many a times Surbhi asked me what's bothering me so much that I couldn't make new friends.. Trust people but I didn't want to answer any of them. I don't even know that I have answers for them or not.

I don't even trust myself. I don't even love myself. Sometimes I think I'm not worth being a good friend. Hence I didn't want to share it with anyone.

 I didn't want her to know it... I didn't want to gain any sympathy from anyone. I didn't want her to feel pity on me... And on the top of all these I didn't want her to see me weak in front of her.... I am not weak. I don't want to be.

I don't have friends I know.. But she has. She told me about her best friends!
Surbhi have always told me about her good times... And I never had anything good to tell her.. So I usually listened to her nonstop radio.

But one thing which I came to know is she's also not that strong. Somewhere she also had a bad time but she never discussed it.  She didn't even let anyone feel this.. But I didn't know why somewhere I feel this.

Since when you started feeling something

I sometimes felt her to say about myself but was always taken aback. I don't know why.

But I stopped myself from telling her anything. I never felt like discussing this with even Aanand and Priya but here my heart wanted to tell her everything but my mind always stopped me...

And heart lost in telling while mind won!

We didn't meetafter she visited home. But yeah tomorrow I'll meet her. I'm excited like a small kid.  Tomorrow's  priya and Aanand's wedding.

And I'll have all my three friends there.

Tomorrow I'll have Surbhi there.!!!

Here posting the meaning of poem in English

The first time when me meet
I want to say the moon
May the night does not come today
Let me spend a dusk like this with you!!
That sky might become little pink
And me painting myself in colours of you!
And our eyes will speak it all..
Let me spend a dusk like this with you!!
By capturing every moment....
Let me cherish your memories in your fame!
And like this by loosing myself in you
Let me live my life in your name!!
