My mobile vibrated.
"Hello."
"Hello. 2 days ago was your birthday right?"
"Yup."
"See, I remember."
"Oh yeah right you remembered."
"(laughs) Ok I just want to say happy belated birthday."
"Thank you."
"Has school started?"
"Yup. A week ago."
"Ok. Take care and study hard. See you soon."
"Yup. Take care."
"Bye."
"Bye."
A call received on a Saturday evening, from whom used to be a very good friend but now seemingly feels like a total (ok maybe not total) stranger.
See what I mean? Things change. Because he never forgets but this year he forgot.
Sometimes what is the point of saying you remember a person's birthday when you do not remember on that day itself?
Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort in making the call.
