business. Thanks for saying this but I think she will never return to me”
“But I will try to return Sandhya in your life again” Nisha said.
“Thanks” I replied.
“Hey Sandip good night” Celina said to me while she was going.
All my friends went. I called Gig.
“Hey Gig please help me on my and Sandhya’s love. It has got a breakup” I said in a creaking voice.
“How did it happen?” Gig asked me. I told him all the things that had happened between us.
“Keep loving her” Gig said to me.
“I love her Gig. But I know she wont return now” I said almost crying.
“When you love someone truly don’t expect love from them, just keep on loving them” Gig said.
I tried to sleep that night. But I couldn’t. Sandhya’s thoughts filled my mind. I was feeling guilty about breaking my friendship with Sandhya. I was broken.

T he next morning I woke up but I didn’t want to go to the school. But alas! I had to attend school. Last night was still fresh in my mind. Now I had only one motive in going to school and that was to again make up my friendship with Sandhya. Will she accept me again in her life?
I got ready and went to school.
“Hey Sandip yesterdays party was very interesting for all of us but why you are so sad and not smiling like you usually do” David asked.
“Nothing has happened” I replied.
“Yes something has happened so today you are in this sad mood hey Sandip we are also your friend you can tell us what happened and may be we can help you” Ranjit said by looking at me.
“No one of you can help me in this but still if you want to listen then listen, yesterday I had proposed to Sandhya and she said she doesn’t like me and also she said not to be friends with her” I said.
“Then I think you should say sorry to her.” Veer said.
“But how could I tell her that. She told me even not to come her near” I said.
“You will have to try now to again befriend Sandhya. Don’t tell this to anyone in school. It may create problems for you later on.
“Yes I will not tell anyone” I said.
Then we all reached near where Sandhya waited for me but today she was not there now my heart broke into pieces which could never be joined.
“Hey Sandip you tell her in the school whatever you want to say and don’t take these things so hard in your mind friend” David said to me.
I reached my classroom and saw Sandhya. I saw her. I went near her but as soon as she saw me she walked away. I understood that she doesn’t want to talk to me. I had tears in my eyes. Nisha saw me and came near me.
“Hey Sandip why are you crying? All the class students are looking at you.
“I am there with you yar. I have told you that I will bring Sandhya back in your life. Trust me.” Nisha spoke in a promising tone.
I was completely shattered. Sandhya had exchanged her seat with some other girl to stay away from me.
“Hey Sandip you know that Sandhya doesn’t love you then why are you going behind to her” Celina said me.
“Because she is my first and last love and I will never leave her” I said.
“Ahhhh you are thinking about her in this way I think you don’t know what she thinks about you” Celina replied.
“What does she thinks about me” I asked by looking at Celina.
“Ok I will tell you but not now. I will call you today. Hey Sandip don’t worry I am with you” she smiled and said.
“Hey Sandhya listen to me listen” I said to Sandhya.
Sandhya walked towards her car without even taking any note of me.
“Hey mom when did you came” I said to my mom with a smile when she opened the door.
“Just two hours before” she replied. I came inside the house.
“How were your classes today” my mom asked.
“Not too good” I said. I went to my room.
“Mom I don’t want to eat food” I said from my room.
“Why you don’t want to eat?” she asked.
“No, mom just I don’t want to eat” I said.
