Fri(end)

“People come and go in your life, but the right ones will always stay.” You’ve heard that quotes before, haven’t you? You can’t force people to stay. If they want to leave, let them go.

I don’t make friends easily. Hence, I don’t have much. But I can guarantee, the one who stays in my life right now, is the best. The one I could bare my soul to. We don’t see each other so often, but once we do, we could laugh at the dumbest jokes, have no time to see our gadget. We just talk, laugh, and sometimes cry.

We’ve been friend for like 11 years. At first, I don’t see her as my best friend. We were in same college, we compete a lot. Well, she won at the end, and I hate it. But that was long time ago, in my early 20’s. Now, I’m happy for what she have. She’d worked hard for having those things.

We once have traveling together. It was in 2018 to Singapore for two or three nights I forgot. That was the first time I said yes to traveling together with a friend (or even best friend). Though we don’t share same value in traveling, I still would like to redoing those thing with her. I like people watching at the park, she likes to visit one place to another, catching the last MRT, taking the ferris wheel, take picture in touristic spot which I don’t like. :)

The mutual thing is, right now both of us are single in our upcoming 29 years of life. And here we share the same value, “whether going to be married or not, we should be still working and be active and pursue our dream, and have retirement plan.”

One day, she asked me, “what if you get married with widower? either with kids or not. as you know, we both not looking for someone who share the same age as us.” Guess what, I replied “why not? people failed in their own milestone. As long as he’s officially single, and the requirements are all fit, then go ahead.”

Well, I thought she wouldn’t agree with what I said (it’s actually okay as we’ve known each other for forever, and agree to disagree is totally acceptable), but no. She agreed. She said, “well, yeah, as long as he’s not belong to someone else anymore, means we’re not taking someone else’s happiness, right?”

Well, that’s all. I love to share things and values with her.

Be well, my friend. Safe flight as always.

Cheers! x
