We met in our 10th grade, she was new to the city. New to the country, too. A petite, pretty and fair-skinned girl, introduced to the class as the new student. She made her way to the fourth seat in the corner row.
Two months later, after our summer holiday, we met again in school. She was again at her place, by the corner. And then we were made to sit as per our “heights” by our class teacher. A definite moment of groans, we were all 10th graders, for holy cows sake! But, the class teacher insisted and we rearranged our seating as per her instruction. I was paired with her, and that's how it all started.
“Hi, I'm Hanan.”
“Hi, i’m Aritree.”
First words, followed by a smile. And that's all it took.
Eight years down the line, Hanan and Aritree have given way to “Hans” and “Auroo.” She is someone I can share -- and have shared -- everything with, ranging from “chicken soup,” Harry Potter, and LOTR to gossip, cheesy movies in the theatre, fashion, shopping and talking about guys! Not to mention, birthdays are never comeplete without her!
