RIP Asgar

What a horrible day it was; the day started with a horrible news about the demise of one of my dearest friend Asgar. I woke up early in the morning only to read this heartbreaking news that shook me up completely. It was a screenshot of fb post; I couldn't believe my eyes what I have read. I logged in to fb, read the posts and comments on his timeline. Still I couldn't believe my eyes, I was not able to understand anything. So I messaged everyone I could to read all that I have just read. I wanted someone to tell me that I'm stupid; that none of this is true; that its mere a horrible joke.

Soon the chaos started; everyone was talking about it but no one wanted to believe this. Everyone was asking others to read it again, to confirm the news. Everyone was hoping it to be a joke and waiting in anticipation for someone to tell them that everything's fine; he is fine. No one was able to believe their eyes. Everyone was shocked. Everyone was hoping for him to come online and say stop all this nonsense, I'm here.

RIP Asgar, my friendI was already crying but hoping for someone to prove me wrong. Suddenly then the news for confirmation arrived, a confirmation no one was ready to accept, a confirmation that everyone wanted to deny but no one can; it was on the news. It was true, we had lost our humble friend. It was so painful to read about this, to see his smiling face in the news. He was really no more with us. He drowned in the Lidder river. It was a sudden, on-the-spot death. We all were mourning by then.

I still couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted all this to be a horrible dream. The thought of not being able to see his face again drenched me into immense pain. He was such a nice person. He was a helping hand for everyone. He was noble, kind and gentle man and a very good friend. He was indeed an awesome friend and I am so lucky that I got chance to be friends with him.

Although we didn't share the same mindset, he never let that come in between our friendship. However I- I am unkind and a horrible friend. Yes I want to confess this, I haven't been good to him always. It's been a long time since I had a conversation with him. I didn't even had his new number. The reason being his thoughts were anti- for mine. I avoided him because he had a different mindset and a different viewpoint than me. I should be ashamed now, he was the one who never let these things come in between us and I chose my viewpoint over his pure friendship. I am sorry Asgar, I am very sorry. And I know I can't do anything about it now but I was feeling so small in front of you and I wanted to apologize to you. I am really sorry and I am saying this from the bottom of my heart. You were a true friend and no one can fill the void that has been created by your demise.

Everyone has mourned him in their own way and this was my way. RIP Asgar. You will be missed forever. Who's gonna call me Sonu now :'(
