Sally, you were a close friend to me in grade 4. So was Janet to my sister in grade 3. Recently I have been thinking of these bonds and how they withered away early in life due to certain circumstances of life.
You and your sister had to leave for your homeland because your parents wanted you to have a better education. My parents thought the same for us when I reached grade 9.
Anyways do you know I secretly cried for you after I knew the day you would leave passed away? It broke my heart that I would never see you again nor would I ever come across you in a short while. Same with my sister. She felt for and missed Janet and was near to tears whenever we thought and talked about you gals.
Even when my Dad mentioned in the middle of our studies,” …so they were your best friends, right?”, my sister and I would choke up and our eyes would become moist.
How my sister and I awoke again from that situation to greater heights, I am unable to relate now. I was lonely in later grades and accepted life that way until I returned to our home country and had Mou as my best friend in school.
Do you know Sally I searched your name in Google and saw a woman in saree in a picture and I wondered if that could be you. I am not sure because although I can recall your childhood countenance I cannot imagine how your picture of a grownup would be.
Sally, as I have been thinking of you lately, I thought I would put you in the pages of my fiction eBook.
Do you know Sally Astrology says when you think of somebody, it’s highly probable they too are thinking of you. So my question to you is: Are you thinking about me too?
That very thought makes me happy. Maybe we will come across each other sometime in near future. We will have so much to say – so many untold stories will unfurl. So many interesting conversations would flow. In spite of all setbacks, I believe we will talk and have fun in person or virtually via the mighty reign of internet.
