Christy finally showed up with a very happy face and said Hello🤗 Thank You Niru she said. Immediately Niru said it's Piku's call to bring this up to me. Christy gave me a chocolate and thanked me. She handed over a letter, Which has "Thank you would be a very small word for the act you lil girls did. Brilliancy in keeping this matter very private & I pray to God that you all stay happy forever. I will see you all very soon in some time.
God Bless Little Angel Niru. By Christy's Momma". By the time we finish reading the letter Christy became so emotional and we 3 went to church. I was not a believer though but I loved the church set up and the benches. I always love to see the trust in people while they close their eyes and join hands before Jesus & Mary. Once they are done with the prayer we ll come back. I still remember the church had 23stairs😍It was our favourite place in the entire school.
The next day Niru came late to school and sat next to me. I asked her why she was late, teacher sent me out of the class while talking in her class. Niru tried to interfere and I holded her hand to be calm. I went to the ground floor HM room again.
The security brother told me that I'm often visiting this room and gave me a funny look. I told him what are you here for? He told that he had come here to ask me the reason and I told him I will not say😂
Later he said he will find out anyway. We both were laughing and a horn sound in the gate he rushed towards that side. I saw Niru's parents had come. I immediately went next to them and asked if everything is fine? Aunty said Niru dint told you beta? I was confused😒
I said no aunty just now she came to class. They were like what? But she came to school on time. Immediately Niru was informed to come down through the classroom Mike. She came along with her bag as if she knew her parents were going to come and pick her. I look puzzled and was looking at her. She opened her bag and gave me a gift🎁
She asked to open me but I asked her why she was late to the class. She said she was in the school church and was doing inscription on our favourite steps handrail. Niru said her dad got posting in Jammu and due to urgency she had to disconnect the school and she dint wanted to tell me in prior as she don't want me to count the days.
I got so angry and emotional both at the same time not knowing what to react. She requested me to open the gift. I was full of tears and she said please open. I founded a Brown colour nail polish in there💅
I remembered telling her that my family is so strict and I'm not allowed to use any of the cosmetics and I always love to have a polish in my nail that too in brown colour. I can't control my tears and started crying badly and her mom consoled me by saying hey beta please don't cry and I can't stop it. Looking at me Niru hugged and and we both were like crying. Looking at us her father was making fun saying I thought you girls are strong but what's this am I looking?
I was like I'm sorry uncle I wasn't expecting this soon. And Niru's mom was trying to console her but she pushed her mom hand and I understood that Niru is very angry about this Transfer. On a Crying tone she said because of you people I'm losing a Friend, I never had any friends in my life because of this transfers. There was a dead silence except the birds sounds.
I told Niru not to forget me and asked to play in the ice cubes rains on my behalf too. Niru said no girl don't tell me this. And that's it I can't stand over there waiting to say goodbye. Her dad said beta I'm sorry to put you both in this situation but my duty is like that. Please come home within this month as we are vacating next month.
I nodded my head and said ok Niru you will be someone who can never be forgotten. She asked me to visit the church stairs as she has a Gift for me to me to be remembered forever as a souvenir. I said take care🥹
I went back to the class and saw her pencil lying on my bench. It was a very emotional goodbye though.
After school I visited the church and found a inscription on the handrail that says, You will always be my dear Friend. I will miss you forever by Niru.
That void remains forever when you lose someone and I never saw her after that. Lost her phone contact and till now this is something bothering me at times 😒
Life is not fair to us…!
