The butterfly, flower of the sky, dances by in a whirl of color. She is born to fly from her cocoon, to bring a beauty so delicate into the warming summer air. As sweet as the nectar she seeks, she raises her wings as an organic clock, each flutter a moment until her time of rest.

Love is like butterfly, beautiful and delicate... If you truly care for it, you'll do whatever you can to make it happy, even if that means letting it go.

This is the time when I meet him in the Forest of butterfly. So, beautiful and sunny weather that time. In the middle of winter and spring this is very comfortable time. The thick fog made the forest look so beautiful, green all around and dew on my feet from the grass.

This was the time when I was coming from school and enter the forest to took the fresh air. It was very comfortable and peaceful that I fell asleep under a large tree. I was waked up when I heard the crying sound. It was very common to frightened in this situation and place .when I calmed down I was looking for the source of the sound. It was almost the sunset.

"who is there ? 😰 listen , I heard your crying and I am here to help you . So don't be afraid please (Though I am the one, who is afraid) " said Palash Roy. (Pilu)

"I am here. "

A soft melodious voice reached my ears 🎶. Maybe I am in the too much peaceful place that these voice made me hallucinate. It's like the musical notes. After the overwhelming, I sought out the place.

In my surprise, he wore the exact same school outfit as me.

"So, who are you ? I have never seen you before. Are you ghost or human ? 😶" Said Palash.

He stayed silent for some time, then burst into laughter.

"Who are you, why are you so funny 😂? "

"Am I? 😅" scratching his(Pilu) head.

"Okay let me introduce first. I am Palash Roy from XYZ high school. Now, you? "

"WoW me too. By the way I am Shaluk Banerjee. " (Salu)

The very first time when I met him, so unforgettable and eternal memory .

Every moment we spent under the tree in the beautiful sunrise is still fresh in my mind

I started to say first.

"So, why are you crying here ? Is there any problem you have faced ? You can tell me. I am very genuine and tight-lipped. You have to share the burden to stress-free. " Pilu said anxiously.

"Can I really believe you ? I have no friend to share my burden. You are the first one to say this. I am kind of worried" Salu replied.

Unbelievable he really has no friends!! How come? He is so pretty and delicate and polite, I would really have butterflies in my stomach if he was my friend 🥰.

"Ahem... I can be your friend. Will you be my friend ? " Pilu said with glittering eyes.

He stared towards me with unbelievable eyes. How much did he suffer in those years?

"Maybe I can try" Salu replied.

"The reason of your crying? " Pilu has been waiting for an answer to the question for a long time.

"Oh, I was bullied in school. Yesterday my father was beat me. Why my life is so tough ? Sometimes I think I don't want to be born in this world. " Salu said in a crying tone.

I don't know why, I was very angry to hear this. Maybe I pity him and can't tolerate bully.

"But I am used to it. You don't have to worry about it anymore" Salu told.

"If you don't mind can you tell me why are you bullied in school ? " Pilu said.

"Maybe you also embarrassed to hear it. They called me half lady here and there. My teacher think I am not strong enough. What exactly they want from me. I just want to be like myself. Is this really hard ? " Salu said it with teary eyes.

There is always something we are not good at. And we try to prove ourselves in front of others. Everyone have such painful story. Like me. I also pretended to be someone who are not me. Salu's word hit me so hard. His story and his life awoke in the inner self of me which I try to hide very deep.

We talked that day for very long time. Soon the sun set and night fell. We even can't tell. But, it's ok. The most wonderful memory of mine ahead of us. I always go to forest, so I always prepared it torch with me. But it was his first time to be in a forest for very late this hour. He was kind of scared but it's cute. Wait, no.....why cute!! I didn't see his face, but obviously I feel it. Most adorable puppy in the world. 🥰 It was the great memory.

"Are you scared Salu ? 😁"

"No.....no… I am definitely not. I am a boy and very strong"

😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣I was so happy to tease him.

"Don't be scared. I am with you and I have a torch. "

"Why didn't you say this earlier? ☹️" Salu sulked and said.
