I sat near the window and stared at the orange street lights illuminating the empty streets. I could see nothing except a swarm of insects seeming to be in a race to the surface of the light.
Night-time has an effect that no other period of the day has. So silent and peaceful. Seems like a a rhythm which is melancholic and euphoric at the same time. Seems like I've never felt that way before. Seems like I've had all the emotions pass through me in that one night...
My mind wandered off to the things that I've done in the past. My first crush. My bogus captaincy of a very bogus football team. My second rank in the seventh grade. Meeting Yash. Being in the football team together. Making up stories of Gurinder and a shemale fairy who takes his ass away. First fights. Annual function. Relationships. Depression. Decisions. Very bad decisions. Meeting an angel. Regret.
I think of Yash and Gurinder. They've beeen my best friends the whole way. Gurinder always helped me when I was down and gave me the most cynical advices you could ever get. Though I've had one of my most awful fights with him; we've always been together. Enter Yash. Next year. Sitting on the first seat on the first day, hair oiled to the side. And I swear his trousers would touch his chin if he pulled them up an inch more! He wasn't interested in girls, nor did he slang. Gradually we became friends and I saw his true side. Horrifying. The most rude, extremely abusive(courtesy: Gurinder, and well, me(just a bit)) and excessively aggressive. Nonetheless, my best friend. Summer vacations ended, and came Prasanna. I've never laughed as much with anyone as I've laughed with him. He is the funniest person I've ever met. And the strangest. He didn't want anything, no relationships, no expectations from life. Content with what he had. Life seemed heaven. We four were extremely famous in school, and we were excessively happy together.
A year passed, and Prasanna revealed that his father had been transferred to Bangalore and he had to leave in a month. Yash was very upset. I always thought that Yash was the closest to Prasanna. Life was bad. Our group was broken. And to start everything from the beginning, I made one of the biggest mistakes. I switched my school. I came to my new school. Everything different. I had no friend. I kept on moving from group to group but never seemed to find the right one. I knew I had made a big mistake. Yash knew I was very upset. I knew from other sources that Yash was the most upset at our group breaking up. He did what possible no other friend would have done.
First day after the summer vacations. The day I dreaded. As I entered the classroom, I saw Yash standing, hands in his pockets. I was shocked. Happy out of my ass. I was nearly in tears. I swear. God had sent me a gift. Life was smooth. Me and Yash were together nearly everyday, and though we met Gurinder very less, every time we met, it seemed the same.
I had everything. Except one thing. I knew I couldn't complain God hadn't given me anything. I wanted love. I wanted an angel. My angel.
I don't know if it's God favouring me or my good luck, but soon enough, I got her. The perfect one. She was everything I wanted. Cute, sensible, mature, teasy(That refers to teasing), and romantic. Usually the pre-commitment period is between a month to a couple, but ours was 11 months. She was there for me throughout everything and acted as a guardian angel. She gave me everything I wanted even though I acted like a complete jerk. I love you for that baby[and every other smallest thing :)]...
I was startled by the two beeps given out by my digital clock beside me, efficiently reminding me that it was late and I ought to go sleep now. I stared the last five minutes at the orange light again. Seemed like a hundred spirits were singing the most beautiful song I'd ever heard. I got up and laid down on the bed, and closed my eyes slowly, smiling.
My gratitude to everyone I've known. My friends. My enemies. My family. You've made me what I am today. Good or bad.
Thank you my forever guardian angels- Yash, Gurinder, Prasanna, and you my Princess...
I love you guys. And I owe you many...
And no matter what the future holds. No matter even if we get separated. We're gonna give our best shot at being what we are today, forever.
I love you guys...
I'll always be there for you...
