He hugged Natesh and said “Not everything in my life is in my hands dude.” and then went toward the train and once again turned back and smiled (with tears) at them. He finally bided them and boarded the train to leave for Delhi for the job.
Tears welled in the eyes of Sam, Venkat and Natesh. They were as thick as thieves till that date. The four shared the same room right from their Under graduation till their post graduation. Now its time to be apart from each other.
Sam is tall and stout. One can hardly find a difference between his hair and his skin tone. He is the one with the most short-temperament among the four. Venkat fancies himself as a bollywood hero. Yet he is fat and is of normal height. Athith is fair, fat and is of normal height. Athith has a great sense of humor. He makes his environment always happy. Natesh is unique among all the four. One can’t say that he is lean. He is even leaner than the meaning-of-lean-specified-by-oxford-dictionary. If the other three chooses to spend holiday by playing, Natesh will spend it with books. One can even start a mini-library with his collection. His doodles will always be related to Science. He loves Science to the core.
Athith just took his ticket and saw that he had reserved the seat in S-Compartment. He then went to S-Compartment and made himself comfortable. He was still seeing Sam, Venkat and Natesh through the blue tinted window. He felt a jerk. The train just started to move. He then took a book, which he took from Natesh’s rack without his knowledge, and started looking at it. He opened the last page. He just closed his eyes but not before a drop of his tears fell on the book and started to recall few moments of his life.
He was doing his UG then. All the four went to a mall for watching a movie. They decided to get into the landmark shop and have a look at few books. However only Natesh bought a book “The Eight phases of a human life”. Having watched the movie, they returned to their room. Three days later , Athith was searching for a visiting card in Natesh’s rack. Accidently, he saw that book. He decided to read that book and started reading it. After two days, he finally read the concluding page. He suddenly noticed something scribbled by Natesh. He read it and started laughing. He called all the three at once and asked Natesh read the sentence scrippled by him aloud.
“I wish I could spend my remaining three phases of my life with sam, venkat and Athith. Hope we won’t apart.”
After hearing him ,Athith said “Why are we going to be apart? Its our life yaar. Everything is in our hands”
