Met Them Again At Last
It was like hanging out before our class started. Yes, that’s how it felt when we chatted again. As usual, laughter always colored our conversation. There’s always a line that caused us to laugh wholeheartedly, even the silliest topic.
On this Thursday, I met my college best friend, Diana. She’s now a mom. His son is very quiet compared to his funny mommy. She was accompanying her husband enrolling for post graduate in ITB.
She still possesses her great skill in making people laugh. And that unique laughter still sounds the same. That’s why it made me feel like going back to the old days in the campus. Our gang’s headquarter was in Cisaladah lodging house. The cause was simple because all most of the kids stayed there except for Ocha and other kids who lived in Bandung. We talked about those friends of ours. Somehow we lost their tracks. Neither Diana nor I ever heard about their stories again.
Then came along Mia who was late, that made the situation even more hilarious. We couldn’t stop laughing. Our cheekbones were stiff due to the endless laughter. Huh! It’s really great. I missed those happiest moments.
Somehow, sad stories always accompany happy stories. So, did that day. My two friends’ lives were surprisingly full of sadness and hardships. They made me think that I was very shallow. I am very small compared to them. They could stand still and smile even though the hardships were mounting. The meeting with them gave me a new perspective about life. I might not have changed completely, but they surely have influenced my life now.
They not only gave me smile and laughter but also great lessons about life. I am really grateful to have them in my life ^^v. I wish we could have those moments more often to reduce my tense life a bit.
