Next Club

It was so soon -- sooner than I never thought.

Abegail is one of my closest among my closest friends during high school. Since we are so afar from each other -- she in the province while me here in the city, I haven't heard so much news about her during these last few years (well, except for some friend request accepted and profile picture changed updates in Facebook). Our last interaction, I can't remember already. I'm trying to reach her by phone recently but I think she is too busy to give a reply. She started working almost 2 years ago.

Just suddenly today, she texted me:
"How are you now? I have a spouse now. We already have baby. I expect to give labor next month... You and Sheena (another closest among my closest friend) will be godparents, okay?"
I didn't know! That gave me a shock. Really. I mean, I didn't expected it. It was such a random random random news I got directly from her!

My mind went blank first. Then, I thought. I weighed my feelings.

HAPPY? Just like others receiving a good news from someone dear? Love! Baby! Family! Yeah! A good news! And how come this very thin fragile girl before turned into a wife and mother so suddenly?

SAD? She's no longer "our" Abegail anymore. She's "someone else" now.

EXCITED? I'll be a godparent! And that child of hers -- her first child -- is gonna be my first godchild!

SULK? Why does this close friend of ours notified us so late? I mean, we didn't even got a chance to meet that guy and give her an impression about him -- that guy who stole our girlfriend from us  -- some friendship courtesy or rules like that, you know?

JUDGING? She and that unknown guy aren't really married yet actually; just living in. Well still, we're already at our right age to make decisions like that.

After sometime then, I replied her:
"Wow! Really? Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"
I just realized, she really have joined the next club already. She's really so ahead in true life. She have become so independent now.  And I'm so envious of her. I don't think I can be like her yet.
