Short Story : Friendship

Friendship
She sat on the rocks, looking into the sea. She wondered, how they were and what they were going through. She missed the leg pulling and the endless laughter. Today, she was caught on the cross roads of life and she missed her besties alot. However, she didnt know how they would react. It had been a while, since she spoke to them or made the attempt to reconnect. She started throwing stones on to the sea and wondered as to what made her not talk to them, not make that call, not being there. Feeling of remorse, overcame her. If only. They were the ones who had infact not let her fall at all. Work Pressures and then the madding crowd, somewhere she lost her self and them too in the process. She toyed with a idea for a while and dialled a number. She started crying the moment she said hello and there was silence on the other end. A couple of hours later, her friends were right beside her. A hug was all it took to put everything at rest. Her friends thought she was mad, when she said sorry. Friends, they said, don't say sorry. In fact they understand and are with you through thick and thin, in spirit and mind.. Between sobs, she told them, but I was not there in your happy and sad times. I was not there to share your laughter and tears. Wiping her tears, they said. It does not matter. What matters is that we are here together, at this moment of time.
