The Star That Walked Into My Classroom

First day of college.

New faces. New classrooms. New chaos.

But I was not the same Surya anymore.

I sat in the first bench. Not because I suddenly became a nerd.

But because I wanted to listen. Learn. Earn what I came for.

I still missed her. Every day.

When I saw someone laugh like her. Or wear the same colour dress.It still twisted my heart a bit.

But I learned to carry her… not as pain, but as strength.

One guy beside me asked, "Bro, you seem too serious. Any backstory?"

I smiled and said, "Just trying to keep a promise."

He didn't ask more.

We became friends I thought he was like me. Who used to funny in close and silent in group.

We even went to canteen. Filled our stomach.

Then he said, "Bro! How about bunk this class."

I was shocked and fear.

I replied, "Bro, I thought you were good boy."

He says, "I mean only this class bro. Like this was my dream to bunk in college. We see the movie right Happy Days. If you are not ok that's fine."

I slowly turned to him as a hero cut, "What bro I thought you are good. A good person should not bunk one class let's bunk whole day."

I shocked him.

He says, "Haha. You are exactly like slowly turns into banger. Let's go."

We are going with a crazy smile.

I broke that, "Bro I forgot to ask your name."

He replied, "I'm Pavan. You?"

I said with a swag, "Surya."

We enjoyed the day like anything.

College is done we took our bags and returned with a crazy feeling. 

And headed back to our houses.

I went to terrace just to say about him to star.

And now, when I see that star, I don't cry. I don't break.

I just smile and say,

"I got a new friend Chandu. I'm doing well, Chandu. You'd be proud."

Because some love stories don't end with marriage or forever.

Some love stories…Just teach you how to live.
