One normally simple day, God finally takes a decision on sending someone very angelic in my life because it has been a very long time of blessing me with a selfless friend- the world is full of selfish people around. So, he sends me her- my darling friend. She deserves respect from me because she is one year senior to me. Obviously, I have ample amount of love and respect for her which can never be measured. I wondered again, how did I get so lucky to have such an adorable friend in my life who is very dedicated towards keeping me happy always?

Here’s when a realization strikes through my mind, the Almighty will always make those people meet who deserve to be a part of each other’s lives. If one needs support, a supporter is already a part of their life. If one needs strength, a source of positive energy is always next to them. If one needs self-satisfaction, they already have a person who is already very proud of them for everything they do. In mere words, we will always have that person in our life who understands our silence and helps us to heal. And here, I am blessed with one such friend who figures out my mood swings when I do not add any emoji while texting her- ‘Good morning, Captain’. She won't ask why have not added a red heart like I always do, she will simply tell me some good things which would genuinely make me happy. Captain; that’s what I call her, because she leads me to happiness. Like a captain of the ship who protects the ship from getting trapped into a storm, she protects me from getting stuck into a problem which might disturb my mental peace. 

How does it feel to have a friend who is a year elder? To me, it is like a moral support as my captain keeps me away from moments which will depress me out. She is like a career counsellor to me, who already knows what is good for me. So, she suggests me with some highly beneficial tips so as to be pre-planned for the things I will be doing exactly after twelve months. Basically, she is the advanced Hetvi who is protecting the current Hetvi.

Reality check- she is my senior and she is going to leave for her further studies in just two months. I am worried about my remaining one year at college without her and she is making the present beautiful for me. That’s the thing about my captain, she makes everything perfectly alright. She might be leaving the college soon, but the place which she has made for herself in my heart belongs to her forever.

Here’s to my captain: 

“Enemies and fake friends are going to come and go.

But this, this true and real friendship is for life.

Touchwood!”
