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.
