P.S : Same story as on Notionpress contest :-)
" So,what did you ask Him ?" I asked him casually once we were out of the temple.
" I asked Him to turn me into a cluster of million stars instead of just one when I die !" he smiled winking at me, trying to be melodramatically mysterious.
Could you think of someone who's always trying to say things to get on your nerves? How annoying would you feel?
" Very" ?
Well, this was nothing like that. I was immune to all these by now, what choice did I have ?!
" I have Chemistry lab today, what do you have in the morning? " I asked him while I went through my time table.
" I'm done with Chemistry..." he said trying hard to imply ," Now moving on to Bio-logy !"
I gave him a ' you are so sick ' look " Really? Why do you even talk like that?"
He looked up, his nose pointing upwards trying to throw an attitude " It's called punch dialogue ba..."
Before even he completed I punched his nose and walked towards the lab.
When I laid out stationery on my table, a new eraser caught my eye. It was white, rectangular one that had words written on both sides. "You are fiery and I'm inflammable".
Seriously ? I try to mask my smile by sighing but it was already late and I sighed with a smile when I said " Psycho" with affection !
I was standing there in the middle of his room after 15 years since I last saw him. My eyes were wet and my heart was heavy, I twisted the end of my black veil as though that would stop my tears from rolling down! Hopelessly looking for something he left behind just for me and I didn't have to look for long ! My Pandora's box was in the form of my favorite cadbury's lollipop box and I knew I was going to like whatever was inside so much more than the lollipops.
Inside was a pencil with a carving " Irrevocably gone !" and a handmade card which said ;
" I want to be a cluster of million stars when I die, so that you don't have to wait for a shooting star to make a wish.
You just make a wish and I would be on fire instantly.
Remember, you are fiery and I'm inflammable ."
