“On 27th July 1987, a baby born who can see future……………”
I was cramming few important questions of my English exam which yet to be started on just after half-n-hour. A chap came to me and said don’t read because you will not be available in school after 15 minute from now…...
It was a spring season and we all were having a guest lectures in our publically owned school. I was in 7th standard and had no friends around me. It was quite obvious as I was very shy and introvert by nature. I prefer to stay alone and claimed as book my best friends. I got freaked and screamed when someone tried to enter my territory and asked for my personal zone. I preferred to live in my own world and didn’t bother about what happening in the school. My job was to go in school, make some notes, ask queries if have, and come back home. No enjoyment, no fun, no masti….
It was raining and my classmates are playing football (it fun to play games in rainy day) as it was a sport period. I went there with some books but due to rain, I hided it in some plastic sheet. I was getting bore because I don’t like football so I decided to check out some other game. I decided to watch girl’s game but there was restriction not to use your hawk-eyes in different department. But I know when there is a will there is a way. Keeping this motivated line in my mind I started exploring ways and I reached a place where there was a lopsided leaned wall. I started enjoying their Kho-Kho game but literally after 5 minute, a freaky voice came which shaken my whole nerve system. It was quietly obvious as I was busy in watching girls or say girls’ game.
I asked who you are as I never saw you before. He said never mind but I saw you last night in my dream as you were watching kho-kho. I laughed initially but had fear in my mind of not complaining to my sports guide. He continued his conversation and said I recently joined this school and today is my first day and even my first period in this school. He laughed and said can u imagine this incidence, I able to find you even I am not aware of the topography of the school. His voice was quite hypnotizing and eyes were very shinny. Oh!!! so you joined today and how do you know me (I asked)? I already told you that I saw you in my dream. The bell rang and he moved on to class…….
I was thinking about how he had known me. It was our English class and ignored what happened before it. She (teacher) was telling some exam which is on next day. She was very beautiful and wore branded jeans. She always came in jeans which made her looks sexier. As she announced test, I just frightened out as I was very weak in English and their accessories like Grammar, vocab, phrases etc. when the classes got over, I ignored all the students and went back to my home swiftly. I saw that same person waving hand to me saying bye but I ignored as I didn’t like any new alien invaded in my zone.
Its next day, I was cramming few important questions of my English exam which yet to be started on just after half-n-hour. That same chap came to me and said don’t read because you will not be available in school after 15 minute from now. He smiled and gone to other’s place. I thought he was trying to demotivate me but I continued my study while ignoring. Exact after 15 minute, peon came in our class to announce the postponement of the exam. When someone asked the reason, it was come to know she was resigned early in the morning as she got offered from some other school. I was looking that student who told me about not able to give the exam. He was sitting with few others and laughing at some joke. He was very fun-loving and others like his nature. I tried to call his name but I even didn’t know the same. I turned my head down and took one step back but suddenly the same voice came and called my name to join them. It was he who called me. His voice had some magical power to attract others. I never thought of sitting in a group but this time my feet forced me to join him and others. He offered me soft drink slice as he knew that I love drinking slice. He spoke more than any and he made other smile easily. When any question came to me, my only reply was in either yes or no.
At home I was thinking about him and only one question “how did he know …?”
Next morning, he sat with me and I also enjoyed his company. I started enjoying talking with others and days were passing. He changed me completely as he came in this school for this simple reason only.
It was 11th class and we had been together from 7th class. He was my good friend in my school who told me “life is like an ice-cream eats it before it melts….” We both went to roam here and there in Delhi as it was tourist season and lots of lady foreigners come. We were waiting at Barakhambaa station waiting for our passenger train to come. I went to bring some water as I was very thrusting. But while I was asking to have some water to my friend I saw tiny tears coming from his eyes. I asked why you crying? He said no yaar I m not crying but someone is going to cry here in a short while. I ignored what he said and gave him some water. I asked him to wash your face. While he was washing, suddenly a screaming voice from the bench which was kept at some different platform came. It was a young lady of 23-28 years of age talking over phone while crying. She screamed and dropped her mobile at the hard surface ground. People start gathering there which made me also to move. Later I got to know her father got died and people were giving water and look after her. I flabbergasted completely and I asked to my friend how did you know something which is not happened?
He said in a single sentence even I don’t know. Train came and we went back to our places. I was thinking whole night about the entire incidents whether it be a 1st day in the school, postponement of English test, purchasing a kite from only that particular shop in the market and nowhere else in the market (although mostly shops keep kite during the month of august), other friend beaten by some hooligans (which was informed by him just before one hour), incident of stone, barakhambaa station etc..
Days are converting in month and month into years and now I am in ICFAI Gurgaon doing my MBA. He is currently in London and joined a company having some senior executive post. I still remember my friend’s word of live life as fun and be a fun-loving person but still curious to know who did he know about the future because he still call me and tell about what is going to happen around me ..….
