.What lies beaneth?

Disclaimer:This post is work of fiction. It resembles no person living on this earth.:P:P
P.S. Yet it reminds me of someone I know.
It is actually very amazing that how we humans have so many preconceptions about those people whom we barely talk to and see moving here and there in our surroundings. I'm also very humanly and therefore you cannot blame if I do the same. The boy to whom I barely used to talk because I felt the way he talked to a few girls was not the way girls are to treated and made me wonder "Why the heck boys a re so rude?" But face doesn't generally reveals what lies beneath.
Times changed and it made me friends with him. I didn't even get to know when those stupid things he did began to make me laugh. I started enjoying in his company. Somewhere my opinions about him began to change yet I didn't show that on the outside. Friendship is strange thing all you want is to hide your friend's flaws yet improve them. Gradually an understanding, a comfort zone developed between us. I remember he used to tell me 'You are one of the few girls I actually appreciate being with.'
I guess it was not until that fine evening when I thought he was a sensible teen. (It actually was heartening to see a guy feel so much of  compassion and respect for his family) I used to talk to him almost every evening by then. That evening was earlier not at all different but that breakdown made it a memorable one. He told me "You know something bells...I love my father a lot...no matter how much masti we do at school...but at the end of the day when i close my eyes to thank God for giving me the day only a single image erupts in my mind and that is of my father" I kept mum, wanting to hear more and he continued " I don't know what has happened to me today please just ignore my senti talks" he was embarrassed for he showed not all of that on the outside. I bet he had his eyes moist, his voice was breaking, completely taken by surprise I told him "boy you are not what I thought you were" and he said only a single thing "Bells, I never told any of these to my best friend but I guess every guy needs a girl best friend to share things that have an emotional touch to it" and at that I was so touched that the satisfaction of being there for someone overwhelmed me and tears rolled down my cheeks.
Its not always a carefree heart that resides behind those jokes and laughs..nor it is always the first impression that stays with you forever(although we try quite to make the best of it on some people), what lies beneath is series of discovery in which sometimes you gotta face tears and otherwise you gotta keep patience so as to know that it ain't the end of it and you know not what it has in store for you...
