KitKat choco pudding- a limited edition flavour. I first bought it on a whim three weeks after we met. It was sublime, like our friendship. I would stop at the shop once every few weeks afterwards, and buy a KitKat choco pudding.

One month- that was how long we spent together. One month of sheer bliss and pure magic. It amazes me how we became such good friends so quickly. You listened to me, made me laugh, told me countless interesting facts, made me feel valued. You made me feel alive. After playing badminton, we would walk back together- and then stand outside your house, talking for another 20 minutes. I would run when my parents called.

I was sad when your vacation ended and you had to return to college in another town. I was devastated when you had to move to a new city altogether. And I didn't get to say goodbye in person. I was (and possibly still am) in love with you.

We still talk on the phone, and I am deeply grateful. It has been months since I had a KitKat choco pudding. It's as if that flavour disappeared from the shelves, with your leaving. Perhaps one day I will find it again, calling out from the rows of chocolates. And one day I might see you again, with that beautiful smile of yours. Until then, I have the memories.
