Mysterious bag

Part one. – “That Day “

Down the memory lane, falling into reverie,we often relive our moments of life .Some moments cause delight and some we wish to delete.

It was , when ,I was in college , I had a friend who was my neighbor as well. We studied in the same class and same college. We both used to go to college everyday on my tvs scooty.

Our routine was perfect until one day , a day that changed everything, the routine , the companionship, and much much more ….

That day as usual I went to her house , called her , and asked her to be quick. She also dashed in a hurry . She was carrying a different bag that day, slightly bigger than hers , and was heavily stuffed. Human senses , never fail to sense anything peculiar and unprecedented.

So I asked her, on the way ,when we were riding , about her bag. I tried to enquire as to what was she carrying in the bag that day. Trying to convince me with her tone , she said she was carrying library books which she intended to return.

So, my curiosity ended and we switched our QA mode to fun mode . But suddenly after few minutes of ride ,she told me to drop her near a shop to buy some stationery stock.

Strange was her behavior that day , but then I was getting late for college, so I told her to catch up later in college. She didn’t turn up , she missed her classes that day.. I also got busy in the evening so forgot to enquire .

Next morning ,when I went to call her ,it was not her, but her mom, aunt came out. Aunt asked me where had you been yesterday . ” Did you both stay back with your friends . You should have atleast informed. It’s really annoying .” She said in a crumbled tone.

I got the shock of my life and tried to sort it out by recalling previous day’s chain of events. I told aunt that she came with me for college ,but got down on the way that day, as she had to buy some stationery.

Few hours later , my missing friend, rang up her home and told her mother that she had tied knot in a temple to her boyfriend, the day before. Her words were, “No need to worry. I am fine. I got married yesterday to Santosh, whom I loved, more than my life. I am happy. I will be in touch , bye mom.”

Oh!! how candid clear the hazy scenes, now started floating right in front of me of that day. . The mystery bag was actually stuffed with clothes and jewellery. And she went down the lane to her boyfriend’s place , yes, I got that correct, now

And the truth revealed was ……..

that, she had eloped that day.

How beautifully the one liner ;

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Went in her favour as she just made me part of her eloping plan.

Unintentionally and unknowingly that day , I became part of a moment, that day.

To be continued…….

Always seeking your blessings and best wishes,🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
