23. A Tale of Two Friends
Once two classmates
Totally different from one another
Sat together by fate.
One lived
in the sea of tranquility.
For the other,
storm was her home.
Silence is golden,
one would say.
Silence is boredom,
the other would say.
One sat in the corner.
Other was always the centre of attention.
One hated the other,
Her rowdiness was the reason.
Yet slowly, slowly
They came to know
each other.
And before they even knew it
Their happiness began to lay
in one another.
Call it fate or God's will,
But somehow
the two opposite souls became friends for life.
They became friends for
forever.
