Another summer, another flatmate, another Best Friend.... Well for me my current house is like a jinx! Every summer since last year one flatemate leaves the house. Why? Well, they fix their marriage and leave the house all of a sudden. Its not that I am not happy about their married life but sometimes I feel its not fair!! But not in my hand you see.. Last year it was Narayan who was suppose to leave and I remember how I tried my best to make him stay for one day more..But its not like he left the house because he was sick of us :) he left it because he was no longer a member of our Elite Bachelor's Club and hence he had to shift in a family apartment.
I still remember that I use to scold him and tell him that come home every evening from university have dinner with us and then go to your "NEW" place till your wife comes to Finland. But I always new that it was so silly for me to tell him come home everyday!! But thats what I wanted, I was finding it difficult because more than flatmates we were best buds.. Me, Sarang, Deepa & Narayan. Well when they say history repeats itself, they are not at all wrong!!! History did repeat itself. This year its Sarang! He left the house yesterday for his "NEW" place. At the dinner table it was only me n Deepa!!
I called him up while cooking dinner, not to ask him why he forgot his milk in fridge or what he was doing at his "NEW" place but because it was very strange to cook dinner without him!! Anyway, life goes on and so it will.. But sometimes when you think of it the closer you are the more difficult it becomes to accept the fact that the chair would remain empty forever..
Anyway, both my best buds have left the apartment for 2 of the best people in this world, Anusha & Pooja, my bestest Sisters in law (Bhabs).. But I will miss them..Always...
The house is empty now...But the memories will keep me occupied..
