Pragya's pov

Finally i stepped to India after five years . Five long years i spent without her , my bulbul . I don't know , where she will be ? What she is doing ? I hope i will find her soon . Oh god i forget to make a call to disha . She will kill me for sure . Disha my another bestie i found in london , same as my bulbul . May be i felt connected with her at the first sight .

I took my phone, i had buy a sim earlier so i am safe . I called disha .

I came outside and looks for taxi , there i waved my hand and the taxi stops right infront of me . As i have only one bag , i put that in the back seat and sat on the front passenger seat .

The taxi began to move . I observed the surroundings , it changed a lot . Yes , it have to be . I get out of the car , when the car stop me at a big hotel named sunshine .

I paid my taxi and went inside . It take some time to get me a room , there were some festival is happening and the hotel is almost full . Luckily the receptionist says that one family is vacating their room and i can have it . I thanked my god .

Such a beautiful apartment . I opened the window and looks down . It looks great . The front side of the hotel is full chores , traffic and vehicles but back side . Such a greenish field . I looked at it. Then placed my bag and took a hot shower . I have to find her . I dont know about her exact address so i have to plan more to find her . I towels my hair and sat on bed took my dairy . And go through my school address. I thought i can get address from our school .

We were in boarding school from first standard . I dont remember how we met or how we became friends . But i remember almost every moment we shared .

I am the only daughter to my mom and dad . They were the busy business people . They were busy with their works and no time for me . So they sent me to that boarding school . I was so worried that days .

Bulbul , such a bubble girl . We were really opposite to each other with our character . I take every silly thing serious but she , she make every serious things silly . She always support me . Whenever i feel lonely she came to me and hugs tightly , my worries will fly away by her single hug .

She have a brother, i dont remember his name but he used to take about him . She is from a middle class family but we dont look at our family status . My mom , radha , she have some problems with her as she is from middle class . I tried my way to explain my mom . At last i give up.

I thought we will remain as bestie till our last breath but we separated , that day which turns everything upside down , just in a span of minute . I didnt thought in my life , i have to leave her . But that happened. Destiny win upon my wish .

I wiped my silent tear and lay down on the bed . I have to take rest for tomorrow . I slept .

The alarm woke me up . I looked at it and find the time 8 'o clock morning . I went to do my morning things and ordered for food and went get ready for my today mission .

Firstly i went to my boarding school and asked for her address. But they were so adamant as they will not give address to any stranger . I tried my level best to prove that i am her best friend and i am an old student . But the receptionist . But luckily i meet the mother , who recognised me . As i am a topper and she is my role model during my school days , she remembers me easily .

I talked with her for sometime . She told me so many thinks . I wish to see my class once more . With her i take a round on my class and school . Times roll so fast and mother call me to have lunch with her . First i oppose but then sat with her .

That was a special feeling . Eating with our favourite teacher after years . I just loved it .

Then i travelled to her address . I was so curious and excited . I dont know how she will react when she saw me first . I was over exited .

May be due to my over excitement i found their house locked . I enquired with the neighbours but they too dont know then to clear and enquired whether bulbul is residing there . They said they are new and they dont know about any bulbul .

I coming back to junction where the car is parked and thought to enquire about her to a store owner .

" Are you new here ?" The man asked .

I was so confused how to start a conversation but that man helped me . May be this is the power of villages . The people are more curious in others matter .

" yes , actually i came here to meet my friend . Her name is bulbul . But the house is locked and the neighbour said there were no bulbul residing "

" Are you talking about mohan's daughter ?" He asked .

Suddenly i noticed a man , may be a buyer who looks at me with a curious yet a doubtful face . And when i look at him he change his gaze .

" yes " i replied to the owner .

" mohan and his family shift their house almost four years back "

" oh . Do you know where they are ?"

" no "

" oh ... do you have their contact number ?" I asked .

" i have one , but dont know it is sill working or not "

The owner give me a number . I thanked him and walk towards the car . As it is village i have to walk long to catch my car .

I was walking slowly but i felt someone is following me . I slowly turn back and find the same man who stare at me at the store .

I increased my walking phase , he to increased . I began to run . He too followed me . I heard some voice from behind and find him calling me . I felt scared . I stopped when i reach the junction . There are peoples so i got some courage . I look back . The man come near .

He was panting due to running . I am an expert in running not only now but also in my school days too.

" Are you pragya ?" He asked .

I surprised how come he know my name . I look at his face . His face is familiar but i couldn't recognise who is he .

" yes , but you ...?" I asked back .

" you forget me that easily ?" He asked back with a smile .

I get irritated with his smile . If he want me to know who he is he can tell me straight , why this unnecessary ,' you forget me easily ' yuck i just hate that .

" sorry " i said politely .

" I am abhi , abhishek. I think now you remember me " he said with a smile .

Oh my god , i remember him . He , abhi . Oh god i trapped before him . What will i say ? Pragya ... think . Do something .

" abhi ? ... which abhi " i asked back .

His whole face changed . His face fell .

" you dont remember me ?" He asked once more .

" excuse me .may be we may have met once or twice . But that doesnt mean i have to remember every one " i said in a rude voice .

His face " oh , i am sorry " he said and walks away .

I suppressed my smile . And look at him . And went to my taxi . The taxi starts and i saw him walking with a sad face . I look at him through the window of the taxi and shout " hey , chashmish "

Aww his face when i call him that name , he was like the full watt light . Brighten with his full smile .

During our school days , when ever i call him like that he get irritated . I just like to irritate him some time he used to scold me for calling him like that . He used to say ' look i am not wearing any glass but you are calling me chashmish when you are wearing glass . The name is more suit to you " that days were the best days .

I waved my hand bye and he too .

I gestures my hand that we will meet .
