Best Friend Forever

I call them “bestie”. When you met person you can share and tell anything about, it’s your bestie. And bestie will never let you down. They’re gonna try many ways just to cheer you up. Spend the time to laugh and having fun with you. And sometimes you can feel that the more you are close to your bestie is the more you feel like family. Now let me introduce you to my best of the best bestie in the world, Fina and Wida.

I met them when I was 12. Start from Fina, when I move to Balikpapan, I entered regular class. No need a long time I decided try entering acceleration class but I didn’t make it. So the school gave us choice to choose whether back to old class or move to international class (RSBI). My parents wanted me to move to RSBI. What can I do then? Finally, I entered 7 RSBI 4. The class which made me met these nice girls.

I sit beside Fina. She was a girl with curly hair and look so arrogant. At least it was what I see from her first. She looks so busy with things I don’t have any idea about. I remember when I call her, “Finaaa” she only passed me by and don’t you hear me? I started to lost sense against her. And I think she wasn’t match with me, never.

Time passed by and we started to have lil chat about things we like. She knew that I like Westlife so we talked about it. She told me that she liked Westlife too and so did her mother. The chat was getting more interesting and I begin to like her. We share many things day by day until I forgot how we can be so close.

We I’m in trouble, she is always there for me. I did the same. Sometime she called me at night just to tell something. We always go to canteen together and sometime when we’re not in mood to eat, we share food, one food for two. How sweet. I often enough visit her house and meet his little brother, Ikhwan. She often take me home when my daddy didn’t pick me up.

She helps me do many things such as when I had crush at school, she’s gonna try to tell him or give me advice about it. I knew she had many experiences about guys. And when I told her that I should move to another town, she goes lil bit mad. And I guess it’s normal reaction. “Why should you go?” “Why don’t you stay here until the national exams done?” she asked me many questions that actually breaks my heart because I know I feel sad tho, I don’t wanna leave her.

And the day come, it’s D-1 before I left Balikpapan. It was Saturday October 15^th 2011. I went out from my test class after done the last one. I found her waiting in front of my class looking down at school yard and have a chat with her friends. Then, she rolls her body and stare at me. I don’t know, but I directly hugged her tightly. I cried. She cried. Tbh, you should know when I typed this tears are in my eyes.

In the night when I packed my stuffs, she sent me many beautiful messages about our friendship. Through twitter and short message. I cried again reading the text and it makes me don’t wanna leave this soon. But it’s impossible.

Tomorrow morning at 7.30 am, she came to airport to see me. Not only her but many friends like Hanum, Wida, Dhika, Shella, Ghendis also came. We sit in Solaria and chill out. Until the time I must be boarding, I cried again, it’s the last time I saw Fina and hugged her. My plane was going to take off and I can see her in “anjungan” waving hands towards me. I cried.

Although we are not in the same city, we keep in touch and share like we used to at the past. I know she’s my best friend. And almost every week, we’re on the phone. I wished I can meet her soon. I miss you so much.

I think Fina is really kind-hearted girl, understanding, fun, and I can tell her anything. She’s also smart.

And the last one is Wida. I met her in 7 RSBI 4 too. I didn’t sit after her. Our seats were far enough and when she heard my name she said, “Annisa Grestefani”? “Really, she’s muslim isn’t she?” she asked to the friend who sits next to her. “I don’t know either.” The friend answered.

We are getting close because of biology task. We made plant cell together from sterofoam, we were in the same group. We did it in her house and we also play and made weirdo videos. Ah my laptop has been stolen, I’m sure there’s a video about the moment in her house. She’s very easy-going, cheerful, and just take all things easy. She is also fun and sometime “blak-blakan”. In the other time, we decided to do all group task together. Also with Fina. So three of us are together. Always.

I remember she ever texted me three times with different numbers and it made me confuse. One of the number it’s actually belongs to her mother. And did you know when we were about having outbound, the teacher didn’t allow us to pick the group member ourselves. We prayed and hoped that we can be in the same group. Using a-cut-piece of paper the teacher wrote the number of the group. We pick it randomly. And I can’t believe we are in the same group, 1! We hugged like teletubbies.

Unfortunately, I should go to Pontianak with my mom and dad the day we go out bound. Wida cried and hugged me. I just can’t believe it, is she crying? OMG I’m not going anywhere to leave you. I laughed. LOL

And also we have the same celebs crush. When we were on 7^th grade, we both crushing over Lee Min Ho when we watch Boys Before Flowers. On 8^th grade we both have crush on Mark Westlife. On 9^th grade we crush on Kim Soo Hyun. We’re fangirling together.

We share many things also. She always look after me when somebody try to scold at me. We go to pray dzuhur together and everytime we finished, she runs at me bringing “bekicot” (it’s like snail) and I automatically run around the class near to musholla. Stressed. Mad. Hm. It was embarrasing.

It’s D-1 before I left Balikpapan. She came to my class with red eyes and tears on her eyes and streaming down her chubby cheek. She hugged me, dahsyat sekali! Let me tell you what I heard when she hugged me (using bahasa Indonesia): “kalo kamu pindah nanti siapa yang nemenin aku?” “kalo kamu pindah siapa yang nyeritain aku harry potter, siapa yang aku tanya-tanyain kalo aku ga ngerti?” “kalo kamu pindah ngga ada yang cerita Westlife lagi.” And there are so many “kalo” and “nanti” I can’t remember. She didn’t speak clearly so I cannot hear. Because she was talking  and crying at the same time.

Just as the same as Fina, at night she sent me many messages, beautiful messages and it also made me don’t wanna leave this soon.

Tomorrow morning she also came to the airport. She gave me a doll, bear doll, pinky. We named the doll “Brenda” or “Brendon and Wida”, yeah she had crush on Brendon Urie (Panic! At the Disco). I cried and hugged her too when I should go.

But we always stay in touch and stick up for a friend. The last time I met her was on May 28^th 2012 in Jakarta. She asked me to accompany her to Dufan. She forced me to try “Halilintar”, you know I’m so paranoid. She looks so excited while I look so depressed. IT STARTS! We’re holding hand AND SHE SAID, “I start to feel afraid…” OMG it’s too late to cancel. She screamed out loud while I’m just “dzikir dalam hati” and close my eyes until it stopped. “It’s done?” I asked. Wida didn’t answer me and I saw her “shock face”. “Can we try again?” I laugh. “NO!” she obviously said. We’re going to have lunch and I treat her soup because she doesn’t feel fine after that. It really embarrassed me when we try “Alap-alap” it’s like the little version of Halilintar that’s like roller coaster. She shouted, “Halilintar keciiiill halilintar kecilll HAHAHAHAHA.” I laugh hard.

Well, in the end of this post. I would love to say that I love you girls. You’re like my sister. Thank you very much for looking after me, understanding me, and go weirdo with me. Ily!Friendship must be last forever. (Fanny)
