Bye with Tears

I donno when I cried before. But I think I will remember today for many reasons. After a long gap, I cried today. My father used to say, boys should not cry. But I couldn’t control today. He has gone. Vasanth has left. He has left to Bangalore to join IIM-B.

I know him as a classmate, nothing more in college. When we got the offer Bosch together, I know for sure, he is a harmless person and will be a perfect roommate. He happened to be the same. I always have one dissatisfaction for him as a room mate, He never keeps the room neat. Even I too, But he is worser than me. One comparison between us is both of us are lazy. We usually woke up at 8 o clock and swipe only at 10 o clock.

Two years back, two guys came to coimbatore in search of a new journey and now I am left alone. Good or bad he has been with me for two years. I have shared the maximum with him. He knows me better than myself. I have never hidden anything to him. We had lots and lots of night chats about movies, actor vijay, kamal haasan, his favourite ajith, our friend’s love and so on…

I was also with him during one of his toughest times. It was last year.. I didn’t realize how it would have pained then… I can now realize a little of that pain.. If I had given him some useful guidance, things would have changed. But I was only a silent spectator then. Anyhow, I don’t want to think about the closed chapter.

He was a very hard worker. He had spent lots of day and night in office to meet tight deadline. Lots of days, he had burned his midnight oil. In the end, he couldn’t even get a relieving letter. Atleast he got his experience certificate, that is better.

I never thought I will feel this much. In the morning when he said through phone, that he is leaving, I just wished him. I didn’t have much feeling then. Due to various reasons, he didn’t go in the morning and he had just left right now. All of our feelings gushed out in the restaurant. We were not able to speak. We were even not able to look at each other. Both of us tried to control our tears but in vain. Last advices transferred.

I am trying to avoid his thoughts. It’s difficult as I stay in the same house. Hopefully I will be able to avoid old memories. Staying alone is not a problem. I had stayed for lot of time. In fact in these two years, close to ten months, he was in Bangalore. I was staying all alone here. But I feel I miss something extra now. Hopefully, time will heal it.

If I go on, I can write a lot, even a short book. There are two years of events to jot. Films which we saw together like kuselan, saroja, katradhu kalavu,… and I can write a lot. But ok. Let me stop here. Whateber happen, Life has to move on…

At this time, I also think of my parents. I donno why. If I can’t forget a relationship of two years, then how important are my parents. I just thought of telling, I love you dad and mom. I always want to be with you. But college, work, all these stuff are separating us. Still there was never a day when I had gone to sleep without thinking you.

Bye Vasanth. You have got a rare opportunity which many cannot get. Take care. Make use of this opportunity to the full. Good Luck.
