Those 5 Years....

First of all, I would like to say "Happy Birthday" for the 3rd time to Jenny Florentina . Yes, this short girl is 17th years old today! I didn't say any wishes for her today, because I believe she knows what are my wishes for her. One of them is "grow taller".

Actually, July 10th is not only her birthday, but also our "First Met" (even she keeps telling me that our friendship started on July 13th). Girl, we met on July 10th 2009. We were in the same class for student orientation on July 13th-15th 2009. We know each other on July 15th 2009. And yes, our friendship started after the student orientation. But I don't care, July 10th is the anniversary for our friendship.

When I was so excited to celebrate this five years of friendship, I suddenly realized and think, "Well, this is not a wedding anniversary!" I felt abnormal (if you know what I mean). So I decided to "not to excited for it".

I told you I have something to show you, Jenny. So this is it:

I draw this on Paint. So fail, I know. Actually I did a drawing by myself, on a paper, but it looks so awful, so I decided to make it on Paint (and the result is as awful as the one I draw by myself). I am not good at drawing. Thanks.

I think you know what I am going to express in this picture. I want to tell the story of us, ehem, yeah the story of us. When was the first time we met, until today.

I remember those days when we didn't talk to each other just because that stupid misunderstanding.
I remember when we walked home together, and it was raining.
I remember when you called me "MAMA" on the football competition. All people are looking at us. I know what they thought, "Her mom also come to play football???"
I remember when were so disappointed because we are not in the same class in this Senior High School.
I remember, yeah like what you've said, how we tasting the God's miracle together.
I remember those days.

You know why I really cherish this friendship? Because I didn't have any real best friend until I met you. I know this sounds a little bit disgusting. Haha. But seriously, since I was a little child, I believe in friendship. So much. When I was in Primary 1, I have a friend. She is very nice to me. And when I was going to move to Batam, she gave me a hairpin. I was very touched that time. But I can't remember what did she say to me or what did we do together that time. I don't even remember her name.......

After I move to Batam, I didn't have any friends. I found one that time, her name is Silvia Indirani, but she left Batam with no reason. Until now, I don't know where is she. I don't know what happened to her that time. I just know that she didn't come to school and I thought she was sick. One day, two day, three day, until one week. My teacher told me she has moved. But they didn't tell me the reason or where she moved to.

I have a lot of friends in Primary School, but none of them are true friends. I couldn't find any best friend in Junior High School. When we didn't talk to each other, I thought that you will not be my best friend anymore. But, we are destined to be best friend forever.

Time flies. We've spent five years together. It's not easy.

Thank you for being my best friend, my sister, and my daughter.
Thank you for all the advices, praises, critics, and insults.
Thank you for the tears and laughters.
Thank you....

I remember you told me, "Crying is useless..." Do you remember that?
