the paradox of life

"Get here already! I dont care how you do it ,just get here!" "What?" "SURPRISE!" "My goodness! Is that for me?Are you serious?Oh wow! Its beautiful!" "Haha! Im glad you liked it! Happy Friendship Day!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay,let's swap letters. You read mine and I'll read yours." "Okay!" "Omg! You got in!" "Are you serious? Well guess what-you got in too!" "We're both going to Oxford!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm engaged!" "Who? When? Where? How?" "Omg! Im so pyched!" "Get here now! I want to tell you everything!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Bang.' I woke up,startled,and looked around......it was a lonely corridor......I sat there....half asleep,forcing my eye lids not to drop down.....forcing my hope not to give away.....
That Friendship Day................that letter...............her engagement............all seemed so far away yet so close................................
I stretched and yawned away.........my palms were sweating ................I laughed......."God! You never getnervous,do you?" she used to ask ...........................

I leaned back......rested my eyelids......."sir.." I looked up...."I'm sorry but we tried everything,but we could'nt save her........we're really sorry." "Thank you doctor."

I stood up,...walked towards the window of the ICU,I looked at her.....she still looked beautiful.....with one last glance i walked away..........

As i left the hospital,I realised that the pain was slowly crawling in....but I had to run away from it,or else I would collapse.....and i can not afford to collapse......cause i promised her; that was her last wish.

Three days in the hospital-I was clueless about the outside world. I stopped a passer-by"What day is today?" "The first Sunday of the month!" she replied.
The first Sunday of the month-Friendship Day,I smiled to myself thinking about the paradox of life.
