Narration: Friendship

Friendship

Actually I don’t really know the definition of friend. So far, I just know that a friend is an ordinary person who has a big role in my life. For me, I don’t need a beautiful friend or even the rich one. Being a friend is just like the tittle of a song, “Just The Way You Are”. I have so many friends and they are all kind. However I just realized the true meaning of being a friend several years ago. It was the day when I felt so much angry with one of my close friend.

At first, everything was fine. My friend and I met on the first day of school in Senior High School. Let me tell the name of my friend first, she is Mira. She introduced herself in front of our classroom at that time. The next days, we had so much fun.we shared stories, she told me about her family and a little bit about her previous school. We also shared hobbies, listened to the music, and bought meals together at the canteen. As time goes by, we became a close friend. We were really close.

I didn’t know why everything turned strange some weeks after that. On the third week of school day, class began more serious. Almost all of the teacher started to give us assignments. I thought it was the reason we rarely met since that week because we had to finish the assignments. We were busy each other. Mira and I didn’t talk a lot in the classroom except for some discussions about the lesson. We were also having meals in different table. Day by day, I felt that she was trying to close herself from me. Even when the busiest week was over, we didn’t get into the normal interaction like before. I was wondering what happened to her.

The situation completely ruined my feeling. I felt uncomfortable whenever I entered the classroom. She used to greet me by saying “good morning” or “hi!” and smiling to me, after that we had a little talk. I tried to find out why but she refused me. Whenever I ask her to have some meals together, she would say “I’m full”. I even invited her to read some of her favorite magazines in the library because I know she loves reading a lot, but still, she refused me. It was so frustrating, ignored by my best friend while I didn’t even know the reason. I was getting angry with her. Once in the morning, she was reading a science book while sitting on her chair. Like usual, no movement, not even a single word from her mouth. I took her book and I threw it to the floor. The other friends store at me but I didn’t care. I shouted to her when she was trying to get back her book. She shouted back to me, “What’s wrong with you?” I asked. Mira didn’t answer me. I really couldn’t control my emotion, so I left her. The next day, I was sitting at the canteen while eating my potato chips. It was Tuesday, as I can remember. Suddenly Mira came and sat next to me. She grabbed my hand. Well, it was an awkward moment. Mira then explained to me about the problem and the reasons why she closed herself. It was all about her family. She felt like there was no one she can trust. I thought I could understand it. Since that day, everything was going back to normal. She returned back to be my friend like she used to. So it was true that every problem has its own solution.

Well, best friend is being together in good time and being together in bad time. I experienced it. Since the very beginning, everything was fine until one day my friend and I had a fight but finally we were able to find the solution and solve the problem. This phase of friendship, for me, enables us to be more mature and understand each other.
