An eve with friend

Last week ,i decided to meet my friend my childhood friend.She been on leave these days n luckily me too .Its been almost an year we had met
,though we communicate daily through "good morning "message, the very first message on my watsapp.
Inspiration was the movie ""sonata",by Aparna sen , casting Shabana Azmi and Lillette Dubey .Beautiful short movie, about friendship of two lonely  women.
At this stage of my age, i realised we seldom cherish most capable and soulful relations.We take such relation for granted ,rather, we should love and give time to.Perhaps because we know, these people will stay by us.We forget that unkempt yet most beautiful bushes in garden need a little water too.So thats how i messaged her n asked her to meet at a place nearby , next week.  I was excited so i reached almost half an hour early and she arrived on time.
We ordered few delicacies ,chatted and poured our hearts out like two over excited  teenagers.
Still the same, non judgmental(perhaps pretending to be as with time our values too change but anyhow accepting ),laughter and deepest secrets shared n yes off course ,memories of old days were the topics.
With our kids grown, we should take time for ourselves, As women, we hardly think that we are human too.
It was a marvellous evening,well spent one, discussing life's complexities yet realising that simple joys are potent elixir for such mundane life.     
Meeting a friend ,after long  can be therapeutic and refreshing .Making most for our lost time,  we giggled like kids,  feeling rejuvenated n young once more .
Looking forward for more such evenings or afternoons( who knows nights too😊).
Afterall life is short to sulk and crib.
Let's  play childhood-childhood again.
