Bip.

She is back after 7 years.

This is my first good friend among all best friends. Yes she knows me very well since childhood. She was in a small villege where everything not available, but her sharpness is very unique. Well I should say her a time keeper she does everything in time.

I should say she is very special to me bcoz if she criticizes me I won't get angry although I am a short temper one. Sometimes I felt bad for her, many of the times she blinded my eye on success. She gave me treat whenever I had a little victory.

Its high school day I was throwball team leader. First match we won opposite team dint defend well. Anyone of them dint catch my single throw. Anyway we won three match. In next stage we dint win because before night she disturbed me and dint let me sleep.

Although she is good with me. If she is with me I'll be more confident and face everything bravely. You can see my act of valor. Yes I'm like parasite if she is not with me I'm just a freaky girl.

We dreamed every summer because I supposed to go her town, that one day we will become a good doctors and serve this unables and poor. We were very serious about our studies every year we tried our best to score good marks. Everytime she claims more marks than I. She is smart very smart.

Today she is not with me, our friendship broke after high school. She told me to choose Science course for further studies. I couldn't make her understand what I was going through then. We both decided to become a good doctor in future. I was forced to choose something else which I hated for all my life.

No one's life will never be as they thought. It's designed by God already we need to get in it. If you adjust with it you'll be happy otherwise you'll be forced to it. I'll tell you a tale of a king.

"Once a King is met Shanideva who with great laugh said I'll make you suffer for six month, worried King left his kingdom to rescue Shanideva. There he lived with no previliege, luxury and comforts. After six months he called Shanideva to say I won you dint bother me once. Then Shanideva said your fate was to live non previlieged, luxury and comfort for six month which you yourself choose so you feel I dint bother you."

She never tried to ask me the reason, but she left. Is she a doctor now? No bcoz her parents said we can't pay that much. Can't you understand after you 3 sisters and 2 brothers are there we have to take them in account. Then she joined fashion designing and shifted to my city still she dint try to meet me, call or atleast text.

After 7 years she gets back to me. It was wednesday she held a invitation card in her hand, her eyes are filled with tears. Prabha I'm utterly failed in life. My dream was smashed.

I needed to stop her so I started to tell her what syllabus is provided to us this year. Its Sophocles's tragedy Oedipus the king of Thebes.

"Oedipus is such a King who is fated to slay his father and marry his mother.

When Oedipus's father got this prediction he handed the baby to a shepherd to live it on a mountain to die, but he feels mercy and give it to another shephard without revealing the real identity. That shephard hands that baby to Polybus King of Corinth & queen Merope who raised Oedipus as his own.

When Oedipus gets young once disturbed and gone to listen a prediction. There he finds a terrible truth of his life which I mention before. So left his parents to save them who are not his real parents.

On the way Laius and Oedipus gets in quarrel and in pit anger he killed his own father which is unknown to him.

Later went to Thebes and made run the sphnix by solving the riddle and married his mother Jocasta as Creon brother of Jocasta promised to. They have 4 children.

Later in years a plague falls upon the kingdom. Sincere Oedipus promised to clear it. In the process of finding the reason of illness he finds he already commit that illdeed which he got prediction before.

He gouged his eyes out & Jocasta hanged herslf but later God redeemed his life."

I said her it's okay Bip you are lucky that your ill fate is better than Oedipus. Be happy embrace the present you'll never feel bad for your past. Now she is happy with her husband and she is pregnent now the date is set on my birthday. So my next birthday gift from her is ready I'm so lucky, aren't I?
