Saying Goodbye with Aiba-chan`s `Friendship` as BGM Really Helps A Lot

I have to let go one of my best friends to Japan today. To pursue her dream. To prove to everyone that she can.

 

Since like a month ago, I did countless farewell parties with her. Everytime both of us have spare time we`ll go somewhere and claimed that was a farewell party. She leave tonight so I was practically stalking her phone the whole day, texting her like `where are you now?` and `have you eaten?` and calling her. She will board the plane in 1.5 hours so I just called for the last time since maybe now it`s the time for family and she won`t let me go to the airport(in Jakarta) anyway.

 

People usually take Tia for granted since she`s so nice and child-like and everyone judged her as a dependant person. She`s actually the type that naturally child-like outside, but if you look at her closely, you`ll understand how she would strive on her own until she can`t take it anymore and had to look for help. So much better than those people who put a brave mask but quickly turn to others the minute they meet an obstacle. I respect her for that.

 

She`s unbelievably nice, always ready to help, a good listener, a good person, an adorable and funny little sister.

 

My days with her were days of gossiping and talking about teachers and school and `Look at that cute one at nearby table! Not that one! Beside him!` ; of smells of sushi and maccha milkshake and our favourite donuts.

 

It`s quite amazing since we`re different in almost all aspects, for instance, she`s not even close to liking any Japanese music/dorama which defines me a lot. Our biggest commonalities are food and the fact that we like each other so much.

 

5 years is quite a long time. But it`s nothing compared to the time we`re going to spend together from now on. Because I have a hunch we`re going to stick together forever no matter where we are.

If it`s you, I know we will.
