One of the sisters: The Response

Everyone has his/her own crazily secret love story that is not the successful one. 


Our friendship was and has been the purest one. We met one another 12 years ago when we pursued our higher education in Thailand.


We argued a lot but never fell into real argument. I told you that we would never become boyfriend and girlfriend because our views were different. Yet, you told me that if I kept arguing with you, one day I would fall for you. I rejected your comment and how come you were so confident about that. We continued our school years like this, arguing, traveling, doing assignments, and working towards our graduation.


One day! One day, I confessed to you. You were true that if I kept arguing with you, I would fall for you without knowing it. But you were silent. We were silent. For quite sometimes we did not talk. I knew that you did not want to lose our friendship that's why you did not say anything when I confessed. Finally, we talked to one another again for I did not want to lose a friend like you too. But before we graduated, we made a crazy promise that when we reached 40 years old and were still single, we would get together.


Shortly after, we graduated and moved on to each of our own path. We talked once in a while. I still told my friends about you, whom I had confessed. We met sometimes when I visited your country. Our friendship was still strong.


Now, I was married and my man and two boys made me my family. And you visited and handed me a wedding gift you had bought 8 years ago on my wedding. I felt thrilled. I valued your time and commitment coming to meet me. I felt regret that I didn't get a chance to serve you even one glass of wine. I hoped to accompany you during your trip. Good night dear. I wish you a relaxed time closing the year 2023 and filled with powerful energy to start a new year 2024.
