MY BESTFRIEND

MY BESTFRIEND

I met my best friend when I was in high school. She was from a poor family, her father is a fisherman and her mother is a simple housewife. They lived near the seashore in our hometown. She was older than me but we were on the same year and section. She was tall, brave and funny person. When we were in high school, we get along with other girls in our class, share some jokes and laugh at the same time. She likes trying other things even she knew that it might be difficult for her. She tried to fight sometimes with other boys but there were times these boys became afraid and never fight with her. Sometimes they think that she is a tomboy but honestly she's not.

When we graduated in high school, she went to Manila, which is the capital city of our country and found job in a bookstore. After three years, I saw her in one of the biggest mall where she worked as a salesperson. She already wearing a pencil-cut skirt and white blouse and she had  make-up on her face. She looks different now while she was chatting with me.She was trying her best to finish her studies because she said she doesn't want to become poor like she was before. We never have communication after a long time. I was already wondering what happened to her.

After 10 years, we met again and she was very successful. She owned a company right now and she was running her business. She was a supplier of bags and native products from our province which was sold in big malls in Manila.  I was very proud of her, knowing that she came from a very poor family. We continue to communicate in Facebook until now and she said someday she wants to come  my place.
