I know you, don't I?
I will know that face even if I was miles away from him. It was my childhood friend who moved away from our neighbourhood when I was just 7 years old .He and I used to play all the time and I would always be beside him wherever we went ,we would stick to each other like a glue but when he just turned 10 years old,his dad had got into an accident and our family tried to help as much as possible but in the end their family had to move for better treatment for his father. His father was in a very serious condition because it looked like someone was really trying to hurt his father .I always stayed by his side and tried to comfort him but he just fake smiled to make me feel good. But when he moved without telling me I knew it would take a long time before we met again .Our family tried to contact them but they just vanished like thin air. For a few years my family tried to search for them but eventually they stopped but I always felt guilty for not being with him in his bad time .But here I see a fine man just standing there with his group of friends just smiling without a care in the world. I wanted to ask him how is he doing? ,how is uncle?, where have they been these whole years? and many more but I stopped right at that moment thinking no not right now ,I need some time to think before I could talk to him but will I even get a chance to talk to him ? I asked myself.So before I could even react I had gone to his group saying Hii!!! Sky long time no see huh , he and his group were confused in seeing me. Well i would also be confused if one day suddenly a girl who knows your name comes to you and asks how are you?.But it looks like nothing has changed because he looks the same when he was a kid ,those same eyes ,those same mole he had in his right eye ,and those same dimples .
I hoped he remembered me even if we haven't seen each other for 13 years but it looks like I was wrong because it already has been 5 minutes and he still hasn't said anything or even asked any questions (crying inside).I felt so embarrassed so I said ohh wrong person sorry ,and tried to exercise myself he spoke how do you know my name and then again say the wrong person? then he said stop. I knew I was done for but before I could find another exercise he said do I know you? I froze I didn't know what to say so i nodded my head .What he said next wasn't the thing I thought he would say because it was my fear which could only be answered by him. He said sorry I don't know you but you seem to know me so if it is alright can we talk for a bit? As he said those words (I don't know you)i felt like someone had stabbed me in the back. I couldn't hear the word he said after that and when he noticed that I wasn't listening he pinched my pinky finger ,he used to pinch me like this when we would study together and I would get distracted. He did just that now and asked he again if we could talk and I said yes but not today and he said ok then give me your number and we can set a time and date to meet and I said ok sounds good. His friends were looking at me as if I was an animal who can talk human language and when Sky asked my number they were even more shocked than me but when I looked at their side they turned their head and acted like they were talking to each other. It was a little weird but I didn't say anything to not make things more awkward.
After giving him my number I asked do you also study in this university ? and he replied yes and you?and I said yes I also study in this university then he said oh good then see you around and went his way with his friends.I wanted to talk to him even more but I have to be patient to know what happened to him and his family after they moved .
