Truth be told , I just couldn't get around the fact that my friend lost the very book , I was asking of him , since long . If you are regular visitor and if by chance you have noticed , I have been rambling and going on and on about a novel – a trilogy actually . It was almost a year gap between the first and the second book . My interest in the book intrigued many people I know , especially the one who gifted me the others . Seeing me , absorbed in the book , made them more curious and they wanted to give the series a try . And so I began , the search for the long lost book , possibly with the person who rendered it to me . I was soon confirmed of its presence with him . Then came the difficult part .
People kept asking for the book , my friend kept forgetting to bring it to me .It just seemed like pressure to accomplish delivering the book . Now yesterday , the day me and my friend usually meet , I kept reminding him via texts and finally by noon , a text came , “Sorry . I searched by couldn’t find it :( ” . I was immediately flooded with thoughts of embarrassment and disappointment . I just kept treading water and tried to keep my head above the flood line . Something told me that this was all a ruse and nothing more . I was soon convinced it definitely was one . But I didn’t want to let my friend know it . He usually does this , an act that would make you sulk for a long time , and smile up brightly when he hands that to you . He enjoys it . I decided to play along , with a glimmer of fear , of course !!! I would be a fool if he had actually lost it .
But I was delivered off the trouble . He came grinning wolfishly , with one hand behind . Then , I knew . The book has come . Though I was mentally prepared for this , I couldn’t hold my excitement . I would let everyone know . Yes !! I’m excited . He bobbed in satisfaction .
Finally , all three books are together , waiting to enthrall its next reader .
