Jasminian

The last time I saw her was back in 2003. Far away from my homeland Indonesia. It was in Belgium. We were only 11 year old kids. Old enough to understand the definition of friendship. She's an amazing person, still is and will always be to me. I remember the last time I get to see her. I had to go back to Indonesia. So she had a farewell party arranged for me with some friends from class. It was really sweet what they've done for me. We played and plucked a lot of raspberries from her garden and she said that I could have them all. Afterwards she and her mom drove me home. We talked a lot on the way of how we would send email and letters to each other in order to stay in touch. We got up to my appartment. The house was really messy so they couldn't get in. The last minutes were awkward. Our eyes were filled with tears, we just stood there staring at each other and we didn't know what to say. We weren't ready to say goodbye. Until her mom...
