The Palm Tree (An Uncovered Story)

They both used to sit under that palm tree and used to talk for hours. From dusk till dawn, it was their laughters and giggles that used to fill up the atmosphere with love and joy.

It was the time when they both were young, they were neighbors and used to go to the same school and study in same grade. They were best friends. They shared an unbreakable bond, they were two bodies and one soul.

Little did they know, they had a third friend who loved their existence more than anything and always wanted to be with them. He was this silent well wisher and used to protect them from anything that can harm them in anyway. Yes! It was that palm tree. It used to cherish the moments when those friends were around. The tree gave them shade in summers and protect them from chilling weather in Winters. Both friends had already carved their names on face of that tree but with all that scars and scratches the tree was happy with their existence.

Everyday after their school they used to play around the tree and sing songs. They used to promise each other not to forget their childhood memories and cherish them wherever they go.

Years passed, calendars changed and both friends cleared their school and it was the time to move on with life. Both had to leave their Homeland and move on to new places for higher studies.

It was that day when they both decided to meet at the same place (under the palm tree) to make lifelong friendship promises with each other.

Indeed, it was the sad evening as life was demanding compromises and they had to leave that place for sometime. They both was sad too. Before they left they made sincere promises and left that place with heavy heart and teary eyes. Little did they knew that there was someone who never wanted them to leave! All the tree could do was to watch them going away.

Time indeed moves on so fast! The tree said to itself and the sun went down.

Five years later.....

Finally, the day arrived when they both were coming back to their Homeland. They were graduated in their
respective fields and were very happy to meet each other after so long.

After they met, the first thing they wanted to do was to meet their old homie. Of course the old palm tree. When they reached back everything seemed to be quite different, so was the old forest because when they reached there, it was all cleared by authorities and there was no clue of their old friend. It was devastating!!

He was no more, the old palm tree was gone so we're there childhood memories.

They both went back to their homes with broken hearts and there was nothing that could get them out of such trauma.

Little did they knew was that, the faith had decided to bring that tree (their 3rd partner) permanently to their lifes. As their families have bought them new comfy similiar and identical beds made of the same wood of that tree.
