Ten years ago, I enrolled my alma mater Main Convent Ipoh and I
got to know this person. We've been friends since then and really closed to
each other. She was a great friend and I've been indebted to her
kindness.
And that person is none other than my best friend Zuliyana Zaini.
Ten years of friendship and still strong.
We might be far away from each other, but not a second goes by
that I would think we are drifting apart. This bond that we share together
makes me believe that distance can never separate a relationship.
Even though I never
get to hang out with you every day, it does not matter. Because I know that
friendship does not work that way. Friendship is more to being there through
ups and downs. It is more to trust and happiness. Even if the distance is
between us, it is not a problem to me at all as I know that friendship is
always there. You will always be by my side throughout my life.
Distance creates a
relationship to become stronger.
I am very sure of it
because you've proven to me before by helping me during my darkest era.
I am so grateful because Allah has sent me this person
to accompany me to become a better person.
You know my friend, along the journey that we've been through
together, I've seen the pain that you were going through sometimes.
But boy, you were strong because you managed to handle your problems well
enough.
In this life, not many people will return back your kindness. Not
all will understand the action that you take and some might misunderstand at
what you are doing.
Based on my observation, you have a soft-heart which is why people
like to use it against you. However, dare not to fear my friend. You are what
you are. And that is the best of you that people cannot take it from you. You
are good at being you.
If people hurt you, let them be. It is not worth your while at all
to think about people who do not even appreciate you.
Your job is not to please people.
These days you are busy and I know how much important your studies
and all. But I believe that you'll get pass through it all. Just don't lose
hope. Hope is always there. You, of all people would understand that by seeing
how far you've come and all the achievements that you've made.
I can't believe that we've been friends for almost ten years. I do
hope that in many years to come, we'll have many more exciting adventures to go
through together.
You always mention to me about not going to get married because
you have never been in a relationship before. But to me, that is not a problem.
There are so many people who fall in love after they get married. It is much
more enjoyable and how lucky you are if you get to know your future spouse
after you get married.
There will be so many things to learn about him and it is going to
be a wonderful journey as you are already in a halal relationship state.
Maybe, you would be the one who is going to get married before me.
Who knows right?
Marriage is not the only life goal that you have. Take a look
around you. There are many things that you can do in this world. You have so
much opportunities that you can grab to help those around you. Work some of
your magic tricks and life will feel better.
Know this my friend I will always support you in whatever you do.
If lonely is the thing that you are afraid of, then stop thinking about it. You
have your family. You have me. I will be with you through thick and thin. I
won't leave you to fight the battle alone. That is what friends are for.
Allah knows what is best for you. I am so sure that He has planned
something great for you. It is just only a matter of time before you
receive it.
As for now, he wants you to strengthen yourself in and out to
prepare for the best and worst in the years to come. Have faith and everything
will be just fine.
I love you my friend. Happy 22nd birthday! Only Allah can repay
all the remarkable things that you've done as a friend.
May Allah bless you always.
