I’ll never forget the day I met my childhood bestie (Big Guy as I call him now). I met him when we were ten. I walked into my fifth grade English class and immediately noticed we had a new classmate at our bench. He was a fat cute kid and had fear in his eyes as he was new to the school and place. He wasn't good at speaking Malayalam as he was born and raised in Dubai. I thought to myself, I have to be his friend. But somehow we used to fight a lot. We both went to abacus class but never had a chance to sit together as we were different batches. I spent everyday with him at school
Got into trouble with him. He was a studious student where I was just the opposite. But that one year with him was largely a product of my favourite memories. Yes I started having a crush on him but I never let him knw about that because he had a crush on my best friend that time lol. He went back to Dubai after sixth grade. I felt very low. I didn't had any clue where he went. But we reconnected through fb in tenth grade and I was very excited and happy to meet him after four long years. After tenth grade, we met when he came to Thrissur for holidays. He bought me my favourite chocolates and to be honest, my eyes were on those chocolates that I didn't actually pay attention to what he was saying. We talked for five minutes and I left for my tuition. Again after that meet-up, we lost contact. We reconnected again after another four years in 2016. Of course we had our differences and plenty of times we had to take a break from each other. But one thing always remained - The history of friendship. There's always something about this, and after all these fights and good times, we've clung to that fact. We've been there for each other through the break ups, loss of family members, personal issues, incredible hardships and achievements. In fact, there have been many milestones in my life that he hasn't been a part of which I'm so grateful for. Above all, the thing that is most special about our friendship, is the way we pick up where we left off no matter how worse it was or how much time has passed. There is something amazing about being around someone who just gets you. Someone who has known you since you were just ten. Celebrating fourteen years of friendship with this man child!
