The One Who Deserves the Post at August 8th, 2022

This year has been so exciting and wondrous, right?

Last time I check, we went to anime cafe near high school ordering spaghetti and nasi goreng (that took hours of waiting) while chit-chatting about love, popularity and organization. Some trivial things we went through together in our youth.

But here we are, our conversations have turned to be deep and meaningful as days turn years.

Whole different personalities intertwined, looks like we made it this far.

Ah, I also got reminded by the moment we were cycling around the airport in town for the sake of exercising, you cried instead of me when I told you there were people degraded my dream (I’m so used to be mocked that couldn’t even shed any tears).

That’s how I realize you truly see me as me, you value me as a human-being.

For I believe you only see my weakness in my character rather than what’s attached in me such as my physical body, my wealth, my background nor my intelligence. Thank you.

I apologize for not being the best version of myself this particular year and barely be there in your setbacks.

I’m still collecting the pieces of me that has been scattered, you know, hard for me to conduct conversation with anyone even you since my social life is broken.

Nevertheless, you still listen to my never-ending devastating story without judgement. I couldn’t be more grateful to have you on my back.

Bear with me, stick with me, I’ve got prediction we’ll store more decades of friendship ahead. I promise I’ll come back stronger.

Anyway, this letter actually acts as your quarter age birthday letter. I’d like to reply your post.

Happy birthday, the most generous, faithful and passionate person I’ve ever encountered.

Our Ramadhan project: sharing iftar food in 2021

I’m planning to support everything you head in the future!

I may not always beside your rock bottom or your highest, or knowing all your life stories.

But just have faith in me that I’ll always be there so don’t hesitate to tell me stuffs whenever you’re ready. Consider this as quality over quantity like we always do.

Here’s a secret, not for taking a credit or sympathy, I sometime slip a little prayer after shalat for you especially when you’re down.

Meaning that, path you take every now and then and in the future, you’ll always have my prayers come along.

By this time, you’ve already gotten your present from me and Iwe. Which was… pretty much hard to prepare since it’s our first shopping overseas. I mean you know, payment, address and stuffs.

I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this: You’ve been doing well and managed your life just fine. You rock! I bet in this age too you’ll never cease doing amazing things.

Let’s grow old together,

Make fool decisions,

Lost in the way,

And… building our own happy families!

With love,

Gina M.

PS: count the paragraph, I guess its total is 25 to represent your age. Oh god, what a romantic person I am. Plus —
