THREE FRIENDS

Once there lived three friends at the southernmost part of India. The specialty about their friendship may be their religion, cast, etc. The first one is Krishna who is a Hindu, Joe a Christian and Yusuf a Muslim. Everyone use to admire at their friendship. In their six years of schooling they stayed united. From the school starts and till it ends, the friends were together. They shared their food during their lunch times. They attend the same coaching centers, roamed together in their bikes, chatted often and had funs. At the end of their schooling they planned for doing their higher degree. Yusuf studied in their native, Krishna 250kms away from his native and Joe 600kms away. Distance may vary, but their friendship kept them close. They were together when they came for a vacation or during other holidays. From their schooling and during their college days they use to celebrate all the festivals. On Hindu festivals they will be in Krishnas house, in Joes house during Christian festivals and in Yusufs house during Muslim festivals. It was Dec 24, 2012. The Christmas celebration had started. The three friends were in Joes house. They decorated their house with colorful stars, lights, and decoration papers. Joes house was looking like a palace. On seeing that Joes parents were shocked and greeted them. Then the three friends had their Christmas celebration. They enjoyed a lot and went back to their colleges. It was Feb 25, 2013 which became a dark day for their friendship. A call came for Krishna and Yusuf. The news was Joe is dead. They became stunt and no word came out from their mouth other than Joe, with tears in their eyes. Joe was returning back to his room from college in his bike having one of his college friend Siva who was sitting behind him. When he crossed the road he was shocked on seeing a lorry approaching them with a great speed. If he had tried to cross the road, the lorry would have hit the back side of the bike which will kill Siva. Joe made a drift which throwed away Siva from the bike and Joe inside the lorry, which became the end for his life. The next day was the funeral for Joe. Krishna and Yusuf were uncontrollable. They cried sitting near the body of Joe. They carried out their friend into the church for the funeral meeting and then to the burying ground. The hands which holded Joes hands with friendship lifted him to make his soul rest in peace. Days may pass but the friendship and love is still in those friends hearts. Im none other than Krishna in this story. This Christmas was unenjoyable without my friend. Still now I, Yusuf and Joes parents are not able to come out from Joes memories. His parents are still crying for their son. The real pain of missing someone will be known only after missing them. So, till the end of your life, be happy and make others happy. Be safe in all your works, obey the rules and regulations and wear helmets while riding.
