Nothing felt better than to have your primary school mates to gather together after 7 years of not meeting each other. This gathering was a really loud and exciting one. Just beside our table sat a group of grown up people with really loud voices. I wasn't kidding when i say loud, their laugh and screams were booming the whole place that we had to screamed over each other's ear with our might to hear the answer to "what i am doing now". I can't count how many times i've repeat "HUH?" "WHAT?" "COME AGAIN?!" that night. It was terrible. Other than that, everything was lovely.
We might be diverse and scattered after 7 years but we still remembered many things about one another.
It felt nice catching up with people you thought are drifting away from your life day by day. We have countless number of friends and acquaintance in our human life. Some who we've forgotten, maybe we still have a faint sketch of their faces hiding in the deepest corners of our minds, but we just can't seem to remember all of them without others reminding us constantly.
We all start out in our own awkward ways, making small talks, avoiding eye contacts which used to be so similar and mischievous in it's own special ways. Everyone seemed the same, but bigger. It was quiet at first, then we learned how to get comfortable. There's always one or two in the gang that makes everything comfortable then suddenly left the table to another and the whole world is awkward again because that person had been talking restlessly.
But we found our ways, it takes a little bit of time to feel the same like how we used to 7 years ago again. It takes time to find the comfortable companionship we used to hold on dearly when we wrote in each other's graduation book. Where had i placed it, i wonder?
"Forget me not, our friendship's forever. "
And it had only been 7 years.
Give it another 10 years, we will have pharmacist, lawyer, accountant, IT specialist and more in our gang.
Friends forever
Such a luxurious statement
I cannot even imagine where i would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
