As I karang ayat to turn down the offer by a few friends at Uitm Puncak Alam to have iftar with them, I came to realise that life after high school is so much different. I knew that it's gonna be different because we were told that way by our seniors who had experienced it beforehand, but I never really understood what they meant until a few minutes ago.
There are some things that even after people tell you about it, you won't be able to understand it, not a hundred percent, until you yourself experience it.
When high school ends, I learned that just because you see them 7 days a week, doesn't mean you're friends. I learned that in order to always make sure that your friendship stays, either you or your friend has to reach out to one another. If both of you just couldn't care less, then you'll be hearing from one another when the other person is about to get married or something and personally, I don't want that. Sebab I believe that if you lose track of one phase of your friends' lives, when you try to reach out again to them, it's never gonna be the same. They might even be a changed person. And that's okay for them to change, kalau they're a better person afterwards, but then you aren't there for the big changes; for the heartbreaks and the shrieks of joy. That's the little things that matter the most and would bring you and your friends closer.
So, learn from me; kalau ada kelapangan masa, transportation and permission from your parents, I suggest you hop on the next train or get a cab to go meet your friends. Now that I'm eighteen, the furthest my close friends are studying at is merely 20 train stations away but what about 5 years from now? I might have to travel around the globe just to see them eye to eye.
I don't pray for any of my friends to forever stay by my side 'cause that would be selfish.
All I minta from Allah is for Him to bestow on them mercy, tranquility and happiness here in dunia and afterlife, and for us to be always be in each others' prayers.
