Everyone once in a while likes to hear, read, see and listen to a story that scares and terrifies them for some time of their lives. Now, this might be due to the reason for the insatiable human curiosity to delve into the unknown, unexplained, paranormal/supernatural phenomenon, or plain simple it might just be for thrill-seeking purposes. This can be in the form of movies, podcasts, books, stories, or tales of old horrifying legends coming down from generation to generation. Most of these stories are genuine and true and have some basis in the cultural, religious and traditional history of mankind; while others might just be based on hearsay, or just conjured up for the thrill of it. Some stories and legends are made up just to scare people to their core and gain popularity. The story I am going to tell you is about two people who were the best of friends from their school days. One of them was very handsome, strong, tall and very popular with everyone. While the other was not so strong in physical terms, was average looking and an introvert.Despite these obvious physical differences both of them were the best of friends and the whole school was a witness to their friendship. This is a story about their friendship over a period of time when they grew up and went their separate ways and also of their reunion after 25 years and what happened afterwards which resulted in one of the friends having a very harrowing and frightening experience. This is purely a work of fiction and I have made the best of efforts to keep you awake.

Whereas Rishi was tall, fair, handsome adored by all teachers and swooned over by girls. During the first few days, everyone used to make fun of Sachin including the teachers. It was Rishi who one day saw Sachin sitting quietly at one corner during recess having his lunch. Something in Sachin’s demeanor made Rishi goes up to him and ask “why aren’t you having lunch with us?” Sachin looked up at him and with a faint smile said “nobody wants me to”. Something in Sachin’s response made Rishi very sad and he thought that ‘I should not behave like others towards him and it is my duty to protect him’. He quickly stretched his hand towards Sachin and asked “will you be my friend?” Sachin at first was too surprised at Rishi’s gesture but looking at his gesture he promptly and happily shook his hands with Rishi. Since that time both Sachin and Rishi became the best of friends and were inseparable at any and every occasion. As time passed and with that, the bonds of friendship strengthened with each new passing year. At every instance, Rishi used to make sure that Sachin tries to come out of his introvert character and for that he used to introduce Sachin to new people on every occasion including girls. Finally, the time came when they were graduating from their Senior High School and had to go their separate ways for the attainment of their own goals. Rishi and Sachin both of them were very sad and upset about the idea of separating. Though they knew that there was no other choice as Rishi wanted to join his father’s business and for that, he was going to Australia to study and make a career for himself.
