Story of me and my late best friend

I wish I have some of our pictures saved back then so I can sit and reminisce how we spend our youth. Live our life the fullest as if we have no more time left. Going around the city with your bike, stopping at the local shop just to rest for a while. Spending our Sunday at our favorite spot at the beach. Eating our favorite noodle, going for swimming as our favorite exercise. Have a crush on a boy and stalking him home just to have a good laugh after it. You were the fierce one and I the shy one. Always hard to be as confidence as you but you always convinced me that someone's value is not on the look but on the attitude. You never failed to surprised me with your bold attitude. We are our own shield, no one will defense you but yourself, you said. When we had this hot confrontation with a girl because she thought you were the reason of her breakup, it was only two of us against 4 of them, I was terrified but you look so confidence. You bash that girl with only word, that the boy was leaving her not for you or any other girl but rather because he has enough of her mama's girl attitude. She was screaming and yelling at us, calling us names and everything but it was her that end up with tears and we moved on. It still give me a good laugh when I remember it. And then we graduate and went to different school but we still keep our weekend routine as best as we could. We always have each others back.

That Sunday, we didn't go the beach like we always did since I have an extra class. We decided to go out later in the afternoon. Never thought it would never happen.I didn't know what happen at first. I thought it was just a quake, I have never experience such catastrophe before. I thought it only hit my neighborhood, later I know the waves took more than just the land. I tried to call you soon after it just to share the event but the mobile connection got cut off and then my family decided to move temporarily to the neighboring province. I keep on trying to contact your old number but I can't get a hold of you and then decided that perhaps you lost you phone and got a new number. Later I know that the wave took you for good.

I felt numb at first. Like something is wrong but I didn't know what it was. My mom said that I acted confused and stressed. I cried for days after the shock. After my mourning period, I tried to keep myself busy as humanitarian workers for emergency relief with one of the organisation at the time. But by the night I cried in my sleep. Sometimes I would dream of you and woke up with tears. I still have that sorrow in me, but I move on, I make new friends and memories. I feel better now, still remembering you and pray for your soul.
