The Friend Story

Salam

Hey there friend. You know, i got bored tonite, just finished my drama marathon the other night, and suddenly i found myself watching Secret Garden. Do you remember the Korean series? The one that you recommended to me, and the one that got both of us to stay up late and becoming zombie at work.

Dear friend,

Our friendship, is one of a kind. Sometime i think its similar to being in a love relationship. I could still remember the 1^st time you talked to me, up to the point that i remember the cute top you were wearing. I was the newbie then, only started work for about a month or so. Our department was next to each other, and at the time i was buddying with J. You came up to us, and then you said hi to me. I never told you this, but i thought you were married back then. Hahaha. Hilarious, i know. Why did i think that? Simply because at that time J asked you about the baby. Me being in the new work surrounding, simpy thought that because i coudnt really tell the difference between married and unmarried person at the moment. So, despite that your petite-ness, when i heard you were talking about baby, i just straight away thought that you’re married. Little did i know that you and J were referring to your niece back then. 

From then on, we started to get to know each other. I remember everything clearly, you asking me about my hometown, asking for my phone number which i sheepishly gave out (don’t ask me why, told you it feels as if we were like getting to know each other in a romantic way). When i got my 1^st pay, i talked about going shopping in hope that you would go with me. See, its like we courted each other. We get to talk, go to lunches together. Went shopping, mostly Alamanda after office hour. I didn’t remember our first ‘date’ tho. But i still could remember how i feel when you first texted me, confirming our date. 

We were from a very different world but we clicked like nobody. We never really talked about our friendship, but i know deep down we both know that we are comfortable with each other. I could really tell you everything and you will just listen, especially when you didn’t agree with me and you thought i was wrong. You support me and correct me when im wrong. That is what i most respect about you.

Friend, 

I am on my path right now, and you in yours. I couldn’t really explain it, but i fell sad. I guess i could say that we are close, but this feel as tho we are going apart. Since before this we met everyday at the office, we rarely texted or stayed on the phone, so since i am here and you are there, and we rarely texted nor fb-ing, i fell like im losing you. This is kinda embarrassing to say, but i missed you, Friend.
