Fiza...

What will come into your mind when u think about best friend? For me, a best friend is someone who really close to u; someone who knows u very well; someone we share our sadness n happiness with; someone who always stand by your side whenever u need someone to talk to. Best friend is different from all of our friends; they're really special person. And I thank God because I've found my best friend; Noor Khafiza in my life. I first met her when I'm in standard six (if I'm not mistaken). She's a new girl in my classroom. Frankly, I'm not so close to her at that time. There's not so much conversation between us. And I cannot remember any memories with her when we're still schooling together. When I'm in form 1, I've to follow my dad to move to Kuala Lumpur. Although I'm not so close with Fiza, I feel very sad that I'm leaving her. Surprisingly, being apart has change our relationship. Living apart from each other doesn't kill our friendship but our friendship become more strong. We start writing letters to each others. And it continue year after year. And I have a bag full of her letter that she have sent to me since 1993. And I still keep it with me until now. It was like a treasure for me. And sometimes I took my own sweet time to re-read all those letters. Reading all those letters, make me fly back to those days when we're are young and still schooling. That I wear a smile in my face, thinking and dreaming of those days; while I'm reading those letter. I don't know how we're best friend but maybe because we're same in some common things. We're both the second child among 4 siblings. We're both the capricorns; that means we share same value - loyal, creative. We're both likes to write. And now, we're both Maybankers. From 1993 to 2006, we haven't seen each other. We only communicate through all those letters. In 2006, it was the first time since 13 years back, that we finally met again. The first time the idea of meeting up came to me, I was so nervous, and yet very happy. But I was very scared too. Just imagine, both of us never seen each other for the past 13 years. For me, it's very easy to write down all your feelings and stories than to talk face to face. Finally, we met at Starbucks KLCC (with another friend of ours; Cha). It was very hard for me to start a conversation with Fiza. I feel so awkward and shy at the same time. I was so nervous like it was my first date with a guy. In my head, I just wondering whether if she like my appearance; whether she notice that I'm much more fatter than last time she saw me. All those feelings and thinking made me talk just a little. In fact, I was planning to talk and talk non-stop. But I know she'll understand why I'm very different from the one in those letters. We're now both a grown up. There's so many things that happened in our life. We have much more responsibilities to think of. Although we're not writing letters to each other now, but sometimes we communicate through SMS, Maybank memo system and also YM. But it not so often that sometimes I missed all those days when I'm reading the letter from her. I think time has change us a little. But I hope that our friendship will lasts forever...
