Life Is A Journey
#WritcoStoryPrompt4
The email he has received today is marked urgent. But it's from a friend who died two years ago.How is this even possible ? Is this some kind of joke ? He kept staring at his computer screen . His mind raced back to the past ,when his friend was alive.
They had met in school and became best buddies . He ,Amit , was an introvert ,shy and very quiet. His friend Sumit on the other hand was talkative ,a party lover and heart throb of all the girls in school. He loved being the centre of attention wherever he went . It was a surprise to them how they got along so well. School over and they decided to take admission in the same college,same course. Two years of college went by well but in the third year he noticed a change in Sumit. He was becoming quiet and remained indoor most of the time. Whenever Amit would try to talk to him ,Sumit would always avoid ,make excuses . It was shocking to see a lively,fun loving boy become so lone and drawn into a shell. Since final year exams were approaching everyone got busy in the preparation. The last paper over,they decided to party. After all college was over and all would head in different directions. Amit knew wahtever he planned Sumit would be with him. But where was Sumit ? He asked all his friends ,searched for him everywhere but Sumit was no where to be found. So Amit went up to his room,sure that Sumit will be there ,resting and sulking alone as usual. 'Today I'm going to have a heart to heart talk with him ' Amit thought. Its high time he came out of his shell and told me the reason of his sulkiness.
He opened the door to his room,called out for Sumit ,but he was not there. In the meanwhile other boys also entered the room and one of them noticed a paper taped on Sumit's guitar. He handed over the letter to Amit . The letter read " I am sorry Amit for putting you through this . I'm going far ,far away ,as I have had enough with this life. You have always been a brother to me and I thank you for all you have done. Please forgive me. Will meet in our next birth for sure . Love Sumit ! "
Amit could not believe his eyes. His hands trembled and shakily he sat down on the bed. How could Sumit do this to him . What was troubling him so much that he took this step ? Why didn't he talk to me ? There were so many good and bad days they had faced together . Now what changed ?
A hurricane of questiond jammed his mind and he burst into tears .
