A Friend

A picture of my best friend
        There’s this best friend of mine. He really like the pop singer Ariana Grande. He is such a nice and kind person. He have this kind of curly hair, fair skin and a ‘puppy’ eyes. We were met when we were in elementary grade, we went to the same tutoring class/course and then we met again when we were in highschool. It’s such a shocking experience for both of us since we never see each other anymore and we were also shocked about how both of us ended up in the same highschool (my highschool is a specific vocational highschool ,imagine, among 300+ students in my middle school there were only 2 of us that went into that highschool and if we mention the name people would thought that it’s a hard school to get into and hard to learn that’s why we’re shocked to see each other there). We were so happy when we found each other again, it’s like, finding a beautiful rock in a river or when you succeded to catch a butterfly. He went to that highschool with one of his middle school friend, he introduced his friend to me, and so am i. He told me when he heard my name got called by the teacher he thought to himself that the name is familiar in his ears and so he tried to remember whose the owner of the name that got called and when he remember that the name is belong to one of his friend he met in a tutoring class when he were in 5 or 6th grade, he couldn’t believe himself and said to himself that maybe it’s just his feeling. Until I stand up as my name got called, he couldn’t believe his eyes that that day is the day we were reunited, he keep giggling to himself. I didn’t realize it yet until it’s the end of the school introduction event. There we met, we scream at each other faces, laughing in disbelief, asking each other “How did you end up here?!”. I couldn’t stop laughing if I recall that memory. Unfortunately we were not put in to the same class until we were in 12th and 13th grade but we still met in the canteen or afterschool that’s where we exchange our life daily life activites and hanging out with other friends too. Sometimes if my father can’t pick me up I went home with him, our home is in the same area and it’s close to each other.

He is such a helping person and always feels bad about anything. He always care about his surroundings, his environment, he loves animals and said that he love to talk to old people. He said that talking to old people is like talking with a time machine, because old people already experiences things that we, the youth, doesn’t yet. For me, he’s like a butterfly. Wherever he fly, he always cheer those who’s sad and he is such an entertaining person. He is funny, kind, always laugh and have a good perspective in this life. Whenever I feel like I’m not who I am, I come to him. He always comfort me, listening to my thoughts and giving me advices and critics and also compliments. We also have the same humour, we laughs at the same topic, laughs at the same video or laugh at the same random pictures we found on the internet. But there were also times when he can’t feel himself, drowning in his own thoughts and insecurity. I’m trying to help him as much as I can when he feels down, I’m afraid that what I’ve done to him is not enough if I compare it with what has he done. But he said that, it’s okay, me being his friend is enough, when god reunited us back that’s enough. And so am I, I never feel so grateful that god send him back to me, to meet me, to be my friend again. His existence in this world is so important, I want him to be alive for this world. Without him, this world couldn’t be a better place to live or in this story, my world. His existence always make those around him feel safe and blue. With blue I mean, calming, cozy, happy and relieved. Overall, I really enjoy being his friend. I love him so much that he’s on my “People that I would say my last goodbye to” list, I love him so much that I would be there for him if I’m still alive even if I’m dead you can still use my number to spill all your burdens and pressures this world gave to you.
