A Last Wish for 20

Today I had a strange dream that I had for the third time in 2020. In my dream I was in the  school. I went there for the last time to collect my result sheet of class 10. as it was lockdown, there wasn't many teachers. I received it from the Principal ma'am and was heading back home, when I found my best friend holding my hand and took me to the class 10 room.  I was running with her and when  I entered the room, there was a surprise for me. My mother got transferred at the middle of my class 10 academic year , just before half-yearly. Since then I have never been able to go to school again. I wasn't given a transfer because of official issues. so I must give my final HSLC exam. so I just came on the time of school-exam, just to be qualified from the main HSLC exam. So I missed my farewell as well as felicitation day. each a tradition in our school, that on the day of farewell, the students share gifts, autographs on shirt and group photo. celebration is must. School arrange a beautiful party for us. So I literally dreamed that my friends surprised me with a farewell party again for me. I saw decoration, cake etc. and I remembered I was crying with joy, wiping and dancing with them. We took selfies and memories. and then my dream was broken. I realised it was just a sweet dream which can't be lived. So today is our last day of 2020. So the only wish that remained unfilled this year was to spend time with my friends. Watching their act and hearing their jokes. I wish I could be with my friend this year. ~R Choudhury
