As the semester work came to an end, I wanted to spend some time free. So I went to meet an old friend, a little rose. Poor girl, she was covered with dust and her legs were buried in the cement mixed soil. I quickly cleaned the place and removed the unwanted plants threatening her. Then suddenly she noticed me and sighed 'Hello Sir! how are you ?'.
me: "I am fine. I just finished my semester. I was worried by these recent constructions. So I thought of meeting you. After looking at your state, I am more worried."
rose: "Thanks for coming. I am fine. I don't care about my life and you know that. Let the rubble plunge over me and kill me. It does not matter. All through my life I did what I am meant to do. Please don't worry about me."
me: "I know you will say this. But I can't be quiet about this. I will do whatever I can to save you."
rose: "Thanks for your help. You are my good friend. So how was your semester ? How did you do ?"
me: "It was great. I learned a lot during this semester. I had my favourite subject 'Operating systems'. Other courses were interesting too. One of them was 'Digital system testing'. There were many interesting assignments and I did a good job."
rose: "Nice"
me: "But I could not finish one assignment in time. As the professor was kind, he told me to show it in the next semester."
rose: "Now forget about the old things. It's holiday time. How are your friends ?"
me: "They are fine. I had small problems with some friends."
rose: "Oh ! I told you not to make bad friends. You will end up hurting yourself."
me: "Yes, you told me. But as you know, my heart is still weak."
rose: "From now on be careful. You are my good friend. You cannot make mistakes. See how strong I am. Nothing ever moves me. I work in the hot sun and still don't get recognition. Not even as you get."
me: "I understand. We humans have to learn a lot from you."
rose: "Yes"
me: "No matter how much hard you work, many people cannot recognise you. They are just blind."
rose: "But I am happy that at least you recognise me. You are my good friend."
me: "Yes. That's why I came here. I thought I can stop others from hurting you. But I could not do even such a small thing. But how blind people are that they throw rubble on you?"
rose: "I cannot stop them from hurting me. I am destined to do only my work and I do not care to warn them even."
me: "May be you are too mean on them. But I cannot be. I will do something."
rose: "Oh good friend ! it is very nice that you are becoming strong. But be careful not to make any mistakes. Do right and fear nobody."
me: "Thanks for the suggestion. It's getting late. I have to leave now."
rose: "All right. Thanks for spending time with me. I Love you. Bye !"
me: "Love you too. Bye Bye ! I will surely meet you when I return."
