Everyone was so lost in enjoying the winter chill, it was the first month end of a newly started year. In the middle of day, I got a notification on Facebook "Hey hi,we are planning for reunion of our batch". I felt my blood rush with excitement and curiosity, thinking about meeting all those school friends, with whom I had completely lost contact.
Little cupcakes of happiness exploded inside me. Soon there was a group on Facebook and that led to planning, spreading invitations, gathering contacts. The count of members rose. Finally the day of reunion came. We met. We became friends.
What next?
We started meeting in friend's birthday parties and the trend of celebrating festivals together began. Excitement had taken over the emotion. Our smaller talks got extended till midnight. And it led to the kind of love where we were interested in knowing every details of each other. Every little thing, starting from "Good Morning", "what you had in brunch ?" to "Good night." Good night wish was just to remind that, only 3-4 hours left for sunrise.
We teased each other for our likes, stupidities and the kind of love when we first met and the instant comfort we had once felt. One may say, we were going through a period, where, if you start liking a person, you start liking everything about them from their eyes to their little names.
When I was with you, I walked with you cautiously, afraid I might offend you somehow. I didn't nag you like other women, afraid you would be annoyed. I tried not to be like other women and didn't ask for much. I was afraid of loosing you, especially the FRIEND in you.
We were close friends once upon a time. Where did things go wrong ? The picture is still unclear. This very day, I feel like I have lost you. People comfort me. They say, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all". I believe and trust you, with the hope that someday you'll realize and arrive back.
Today, I fear the thought of seeing you or crossing by you someday. What will we be like, will you speak? Will you ignore? Will you get angry?... My mind swirls on any thought as such.
Now you don't answer my calls. Your Whatsapp message waits to be delivered. Your Facebook friend list doesn't flash my name. I am contented but, that it is not I who ended. Today I never see a green dot beside your name on my chat list. Today for you, It is like I was NEVER EXISTED. I wander, I fear, where did things go wrong? Today, I just have a piece of you and not all of it.
I’m just a KNOWN UNKNOWN to you, giving the word "KNOWN UNKNOWN" a literal meaning.
