I dunno what came into me..

I suddenly was consumed by this desire to go see shravan off at the airport.. don't care if i were to go alone or with friends.. i just wanna go there and see him off.. i contacted rachel.. the person who is the closest to shravan and got the details.. i mean.. how can i ever not see him for the last time.. he's the first friend i ever made in archery.. back then it was archery camp.. i was like.. "hey.. i'm Hafiz".. then a fruitful relationship began.. *sigh*

Rachel's tutor is one hell of a fucking bitch.. don't care if it's a female or male.. the tutor is a fucking bitch.. can't even let rachel off early by just an hour.. walao.. Forward module of friend.. wat the fuck is an answer in that..

so i left a msg to all archers who were interested to go.. well.. none actually were able to come.. they're not to blame.. right now we're all smack right in the middle of exam week.. some of us.. having our last papers and such.. so there i was.. all alone.. carrying goodbyes and well wishes from the archers.. i was basically representing SPAC.. the sole representative..

i thought i was late.. coz when i arrived at terminal 2 i had to rush off to terminal 1 via skytrain.. and the waiting time for the skytrain is lke fuck.. so long.. so.. finally.. at terminal 1.. i briskly walked from end to end in search of shravan.. he was nowhere in sight.. it's either i'm too early.. or this airport is fucking big.. ahahahhaa.. so i sat down for about half an hour before his chartered bus came.. there he was.. dressed in black like he said he would.. hauling his luggage of the bus onto a trolley.. he saw me.. and waved.. i smiled and waved in return.. phew.. early.. not late.. so i we chatted.. and i accompanied him as he got his luggage checked in..

i thought i was the only one there seeing him off.. till his friends from dance came.. woah.. a whole lot of them.. mostly girls.. i felt so damn weird.. they're not the type of girls that i usually hang out with.. they're.. they're.. they're dance girls.. no more to say.. ahahahha.. Khairunnisa and jacelyn were there.. they're my primary and secondary schoolmates respectively.. heh.. small world..

so we stood there.. chatted.. joked.. laughed.. took photos..

then time caught up on us.. it was time for him to go.. so we got his stuff an escorted him to the departure hall.. at the entrance of the departure hall.. there we stood as he gave us his goodbye speech..he stuttered as he talked.. i could tell.. though he was wearing a cap.. his eyes were welling up with tears.. and so was mine.. shit and i promised myself not to cry.. he gave me a hug first.. and whispered to him.. to take care.. to not worry about us.. and that even though i'm only one person.. he is actually embracing the whole club as well.. so i reminded him again of the wellwishes of the archers.. and he continued down the line as he embraced his dance club friends.. a final thank you.. and he went in.. so there we stood.. separated by glass.. as he got his passport checked and stamped.. And one of the dance club girls was going like "reject his passport.. pls reject his passport.." hah.. unfortunatel for her.. he got thru.. he turned around.. thrust his arm in the air in a high wave.. and we all waved back.. and walked out of view.. his dance club friends went off.. so there i was.. the only person left standing at the glass.. somehow.. he turned around and he waved back at me.. i responded in kind.. until he was finally out of view.. then i ran up to the view mall.. and i saw him.. for the last time.. as he walked towards his plane.. a friend walking off..

i turned to face the parked airplanes.. and saw the plane he was about to board.. Jet Airways Flight 9WC11.. so i just stood and stared at the plane.. in hope that shravan got a window seat and he would look back into the airport.. so there i was.. all alone in the viewing mall.. watching as planes come & go.. knowing that a friend is in one of them.. i stood there in the eerie silence of the viewing mall for about half an hour.. before i went off to eat..

At mcdonald's... i had my lunch/dinner.. waiting anxiously for the time when his plane really took flight.. 710pm.. at about 7pm.. i gave him a last sms.. "Shravan.. on behalf of SPAC.. we would like to wish u a fine farewell.. bon voyage.. take care, my dear friend.".. 710pm.. his plane flew off.. and so i made my way to terminal 2 to the train station home..



Friends come and go.. but friendships are eternal..
