An
Influential Event
I knew that she would not pick up the phone, yet I called her.
After few rings I heard the "beep" sounds. She had cut my call. I felt aggrieved.
I decided to call her several times to annoy her. She let the phone cry and
consequently made me cry too.
Rani and I were good friends for three long years. However
during our last year at school together, things were not smooth. She started withdrawing
herself from me and as well as from our other friends.
I was wiping my tears and was trying to vent my heart ache,
when I heard my phone buzz. Though I knew Rani would not text or call, I prayed
hard that it should be a message from her. But as feared, it was not her. It
was my 10th grade friend, Nabi. He was my really good buddy when I
was studying in Middle East for just eleven months. We had amazing moments
together. His jovial texts cheered me up, though the phone call incident
ruffled my feathers occasionally. That day, before I went to bed, a realisation
about life pulled a smile across my face. One of my dearest turned me down and
just after several minutes Nabi texts me to renew our old friendship. From this
incident, I have truly understood that nothing or no one is going to stay with
us forever. On the other hand, when something or someone is taken away, it is
always replaced.
Hi Pryanga, your story is so touching! A well written essay!
ReplyDeleteI hope Rani knows that you treasure her as well! Indeed, a true friendship do not come easily. We need to treasure not only our friends, but family too! It is useless to regret when you lose them.
Thank you Cheng Howk, i feel so much better after reading the last line of yours. :)
Deletethanks for sharing! the event is well described and written with heart. I can relate to the part about getting out of touch with close friends.
