MY best friend is — to say more correctly. was Sabbir Ahmed. I used the word was. because Sabbir is dead. I didn t realize how close he was to me when he was alive.

When I was in class-V he took admission in our school. He was a friendly boy. There was always a big smile on his face. I once gave the whole class a puzzle to solve. No one but Sabbir was able to solve It. and that was how we became friends We didn't have much in common There was a disagreements between us. But still ha was my friend (not as close as he is now). He was very different from the rest of my friends His style of talking, his views and ideas were all-different

We take rose as a sign of

love and affection. But he didn't, he took it as a sign of something artificial. He said that rose has to be grown in a garden. It has to be watered and taken proper care. If It is not taken care, it dies. Therefore rose is a sign of love, but of a temporary one. But a wild Hower, whom we neglect and don’t take care, grows So the wild flower Is the sign of true love

It was the 7th of March 91. we were having an Arithmetic class test. The teacher told us thal those who secure would below fourteen will be pun ished 1 was enable to do some

sums, so I asked Sabbir to show them to me. but he dtdnt. As a result I got below fourteen and was punished. I was. so annoyed with Sabbir that I slapped him in front of everybody. Still my rage wasn't cooled off. So I studied hard for another test. I wanted to show him that I can do better without his help.

To my surprise Sabbir Didn't appear for the test. Afterwards I heart that he died I was so sad at hearing this, that I couldn't control my emotion. And, at that time I realized how Sabbir has helped me, by npt showing the sums.

As he didn't show me the sums I worked hard and did well.

He died thinking that I hated him. He will never know how much 1 love him. I will never forgive myself for what I have done.
