First, you should put a comma after "free." The "when" clause is a introduction to the main sentence and should be separated from it by a comma.

Here are my comments about your sentences (I put the commas in).
Past
1. When I got free, you got busy.
2. When I was free, you were busy.
(Both okay)

Present:
1. Now I am free, you got busy.
