Spending time with old friends is always brings me nice
feeling...There isn’t much excitement in the unknown, but there is
plenty of enjoyment in the communication...We’ve known each other so
well..We have passed the adjustment phase of our bad behavior; yet we’re
laughing and make fun of it now.
I know we've became more than just friends, when we no longer feel
the need to cover up our weakness, dirty thoughts, empty pocket nor
shameful experiences. We are not family by birth, but we are family by
heart. That’s why their bad attitude, shameful sin and empty pocket wont
change the way I feel about them. They’ve became my family. I may not
always love what they do, nor agree with them all the time, but I can’t
change my feeling about them. I love them a lot like I love my own
brother and sisters.
We became best friends not in a sudden. There is a time and a process that we have gone through together to be at this rate.
Once, when I and a friend of mine were sitting on a park bench, I
told him that one of our friends didn’t allow me to go with them. I felt
so sad and rejected. Then, he grabbed my hand and said, “Who the hell
he think he is. You are my best friend and off course you have to go
with me. If he against you, then he has to deal with me.” Since that
day, he grew to be very close to me. I always mark him as my biggest
sparring partner because every time we argue and fight, it got very
awful but only for a short period he he But he is to me also like an
older brother who spoiled me so much. Though he had many bad habits, I still love him. He means a lot to me.
In other story, me and demiters have different history. I used to
have a very close girlfriend. I loved her so much but then I found out
that she was very jealous with me and bad mouthing me behind my back. Well I wonder, “Was She Really a Friend, Anyway?”
He he he… Before I cut ties with her, I didn’t have other friends at
school, so it was hard from me in the beginning, until few girls in my
class offered me their companion. Since then, my relationship with them
grew closer and closer until now. We call our group DEMITERS. We have
different personality, came from different background and religion, but
we just ‘click’ to each other. The comfort they bring is like an old
“daster” to me. In fact, no matter how serious life gets, they are always the people who I can be completely stupid with..

Among many old best friends I have, I think Soraya/Aya is the closest one..
Why? Because, now we even related by blood. Her son is my nephew…Well,
we have no choice, but stuck to each other for the rest of our
life..:))) We’ve been friends since we were very young, for almost 20
years. Back then, we even got rumor that we were lesbian. No wonder,
because we were almost 24 hours together. She was very tomboy while I
was very “Tante-tante”..LOL.. We comfort each other through pains and
heartbroken..We share laughter and made a lot of good memories. She’s
the kind of best friend who will always ride in my car, no matter how
many times I nearly kill her, for driving while I was drunk or
sleeping…. Rare and sweet, right? Ha ha ha..


The best friend I love the most, off course it will always be my
husband..I totally agree with Michael Bolton that said that we can’t be
lovers if we can’t be friends..:D He’s the guy who won’t make me feel
insecure. He’s my best friend, my partner in crime, my biggest supporter
and also he’s like a loving father I have never had. He is my everything.
I still have many best friends with each unique histories, but to
write them all, it will take many many pages…I think i should stop here
for today. I am very grateful for having them in my life. They are my
family whom I picked up myself. Friends come and go in my life, but for the precious few, I persist no to let them go.
