A friend is
the one who's always there to help. They are the one who'll love you even if
they are not related to you by blood, but somehow related to you by heart. They
can be showing their care for you in so many awesome ways as long as it's
possible. Each one of us surely has one friend that we consider as our sibling
already. What can we do? That's how best of friends treat each other. When we are in
need, they are always there to help us. They never leave our side and they will
never do. Maybe they do leave us physically but the friendship is still on
their hearts.
A best friend
has many names depending on the person's description of a best friend. My
friend or should I say my best friend is named Abigail, but I call her Abie,
sometimes Bhigueh, and sometimes Bhie. For me she has all the qualities of the
friend whom I really want to have. She is so kind, lovable, beautiful, fun to
be with, and any other quality that a best friend should possess. Among my
three friends, she was the one I consider the best of the best. I was so close
to her when we were still on our sixth grade. We were so close that you can't
even make us leave each other. We were always together. We grew fond of each
other even in just a short time. I was so comfortable when I was with her, and
I don't even know why. I really just feel that I only show the real me when I'm
with her. I can say that I'm only me when I'm with her.
There was a
time when our friendship was tested. The four of us had a conflict, and I guess
it's because of our closeness. Our group was divided into two. I was with Abie
that time. We went through that conflict together. With each other's shoulders
to lean on. That conflict made our bond stronger. We were able to keep our
friendship whole again. The problem was fixed. The two of us were able to
retain our friendship to the other two in our group by saying sorry to them.
When the
conflict ended, there was another problem and that is the fast coming
graduation. It was so sad to think that the four of us wouldn't be able to go
to the same school in our high school life. The three of them weren't able to
pass the entrance exam in the school that my parents prefer for me to go to.
Unlike, them I was able to pass it. The sad part there was that Abi was able to
pass the first screening, that gave me high hopes, but she failed to pass the
second screening.
That ended
it, our closeness loosens already when we went to different schools. That was
so sad for me, to enter a school without my best friend is so hard for a girl
like me who is having a hard time socializing with other people. How I miss our
closeness, the days we were together, and how I was when I'm with her. I really
want to bring that back. I just can't do that anymore, especially now; she will
be leaving the country. She'll be going to Paris on August 3 this year to be
with her parents. For me it's half okay and half not okay. Okay, because I do
understand why does she have to leave. I can't be selfish and just stop her
from leaving. I know it's for the best. I know how much she eager to go there. She hasn't seen her mother for about eight years already. I realize how
important is it for her to go to Paris. That's why it's okay with me. It's not
okay because I'll surely miss her so much. To think that we don't meet that
much even she's just here in Maragondon, what more if she will live in another
country which is half way across the world? It hurts to imagine that I won't be
able to see her bubbly face in person for a long time.
I hope our
friendship won't end that way. I do know that distance is just a number. If we
would really want to keep our friendship, we will find a way to take care of
it. It will take a lot of effort to keep our friendship going. As what is said
in a quote "The most beautiful discoveries true friends make is that they
can grow separately without growing apart."
