1 Farewell

    It was a Monday night, the day which most of us hate to see in our life. The man of this story is a typical bachelor doing his Mechanical Engineering degree. The hostel was busy with students buzzing hither and thither. But this time, it was different. They were roaming around the hostel, in and out of their rooms with laptops and books in their hands. Preparing for the following day. It was their final project viva and the students were busy doing their reports and other stuff. Like all the students, Ram was also busy preparing his project report for the next day. But, apart from this, they were also preparing for something special. Which will happen only once a year. Yes, it was their farewell celebration. All of them were waiting for the clock to hit midnight. They were counting the final 20 seconds before the celebration. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…. Three, two, one. The boys started shouting all at once and started with their celebration for the night. Right from the rotten egg bath to the stinky ditch bath. Everything was happening there. There were no department fights, fight for girls or ego clashes. They all become one for the night. They forgot their department, love, respect everything. It was the night where they realise what real friendship means. The night where the warden's whistle had no power. Despite all the fun, there was a boy who was sitting on his bed, hiding his face behind a notebook. He seemed fucked up, sad and worried. Tears flooded out his eyes. He sniffed all his sorrow in and looked up, rubbing his face. Which didn’t do anything useful in his situation. It was clear that something inside his mobile made him this sad. The boy was none but Ram.
