Dear Abhishek,

Hope this letter finds you in good health. In your previous letter to me, you spoke about how to miss India and mentioned that you are considering moving back and I couldn’t help but think that you should move with me and stay like room-mates like we did during our college days.

It’s been close to five years since you’ve left for Dubai and I have missed hanging out with you. After college, I have made many friends but none like you, we were like brothers. You were always there to guide and support me during tough times. I remember those days so clearly when we used to sneak out of our hostel room at night to explore the city nightlife.

I am very excited and looking forward to your return to revisit those days. You were right about the part that we should go on a trip to Goa, after you land in India, it’s somewhere we’ve always wanted to go since our college days and I feel now would be the best time before you find a new job here.

I understand you haven’t found a place to stay and hence I wanted to ask if you were ok to stay at my apartment. I have an empty room here and it will help you in adjusting back to India. It will also give us a chance to catch up on how life has progressed for us.

Best Wishes,

Aurelian
