" Will you remember me ? " he casually asked with a questioning look .
" Huum ... let me think " I babbled with my palm under my chin
Staring at nothing pretending to be thinking

He pushed my shoulder punching softly seemingly offended
I giggle first and he followed .

After a brief moment of sudden awkwardness he blurted reality saying
" So , It's goodbye then "

" Yup " is how I replied .
Both our lips curled up but nothing seemed funny anymore .

From a distance I called for him again
" Hey ! Wait "

A puzzled " What  ? " came
Hint of expectation not unnoticed in his tone .

To which I said " How about a couple more minutes ?? "
" Sure " he added stumbling on the alphabets .

But the appearance of a car nullified his assurance .
From the other side of the narrow street his parents appeared impatient with their await .

It commenced with a " Seems like I gotta go "
" Yeah ! Well ....see ya soon " false hope

And we waved for the very last time .
The vehicle slowly disappeared into distance .
I turned about and sighed .
