We met 7 years ago thru a mutual friend. She wasnt the "typical" type of friends who i would hang out with. Maybe it was a twist of fate or common interests that brought us together. Now that i think about it, we dont have much in common. She was an introvert in school while i was actively participating in every activity. We used to play basketball after school and our friendship gradually start to form beneath the weirdest circumstances. We didnt talk much during school hours. I hardly see her around. But we would call each other after school to chat about our days if we wouldnt meet after school. We would drag our exhausted selves to the popular Macdonald hang out nearby and just eat ice cream after a basketball game. I dont think anyone in school know that we are friends.
We left and went on to do different things after O levels. Somehow, the basketball nights would remain a ritual. Then both of us got into relationships and then just became too busy for each other. However that was always the phonecalls. We met up but not frequently.
During these past 3 years, we would meet up but we were still so busy individually. Somehow the bond remains unbreakable.
I went to her engagement. Listened to her news of pregnancy and how i am going to be a god mom and next week, i am going to the customary dinner.
It is so funny how life takes many twists and turns. I looked back at the days when we were 14. Now she is going to be a mother and be responsible for another life. We both know that our lives are going to change after the baby. Another chapter of her life is starting and yet i am still waiting here for mine to start. Cant help feeling a little depressed. What have i been doing with my life? What has she done with her? Dont get me wrong. I am extremely happy for her. I just wish i could cherish a little more of that 7 years that went by.
I am going to miss my best friend.
