Prietena mea cea mai buna s-a casatorit!

Intr-o ceremonie restransa, doar cu cei apropiati, intr-o zi de Martie, miercuri.

M-a anuntat cu doar cateva zile inainte de fericitul eveniment, putin timida si constienta de faptul ca as putea sa nu ajung, sa am alte planuri sau ca serviciul mi-ar fi putut cauza probleme. Dar mi-am dorit foarte mult sa fiu langa ea si am reusit intr-un final acest lucru.

Ultima data cand ne-am vazut a fost aproape acum 1 an de zile, iar de atunci am mai vorbit la telefon, foarte putin. Nu mai eram la curent cu tot ce a mai facut, cu lucrurile ce s-au mai petrecut in viata ei in ultima vreme, cum se simte sufleteste. Am fost foarte apropiate pentru o perioada de mai bine de 8 ani de zile, pe parcursul liceului si a facultatii. Ne-am promis una alteia ca vom da inclusiv la acelasi Master si ca vom renunta amandoua daca vreuna dintre noi se intampla sa nu intre la buget. Intre timp eu am reusit sa obtin un loc la fara taxa, ea nu, dar nici in ruptul capului nu m-a lasat ca eu sa renunt sa merg mai departe. Astfel, am luat-o pe cai putin diferite. Ea si-a deschis o afacere.

M-a ajutat mult de-a lungul timpului. Intotdeauna a avut mai multa experienta de viata ca mine, mai multa incredere in fortele proprii, mai multe abilitati de socializare si de organizare. Imi amintesc si acum cand imi aducea haine la scoala de la o vecina croitoreasa pe care le probam in baia liceului, cand am chiulit pentru a merge la Biserica, cand invatam atat de bine incat luam amandoua bursa, cand toate colegele de scoala erau geloase pe prietenia noastra. M-a ajutat sa imi urmez intuitia si atunci cand a fost bine, dar si atunci cand a fost rau. A fost sora pe care nu am avut-o niciodata. Ne povesteam totul.

Revenind la subiect, am fost foarte emotionata pentru ea, mai ales ca si eu am trecut recent printr-o cununie civila si am stiut exact momentele ce urmau sa se intample. Mi-am reamintit cu aceasta ocazie sentimentele pe care le-am avut eu, mainile reci si lacrimile de bucurie din ochi. Amandoi au rostit “DA” rapid si hotarat, si apoi ne-am indreptat catre restaurant, unde am sarbatorit evenimentul pana in noapte. M-am simtit foarte bine.

In ziua urmatoare m-am dus la serviciu. Si dimineata am mers zambind catre birou. Un lucru ce nu s-a mai intamplat demult. Eram fericita ca mi-am reintalnit prietena, indiferent daca vom pastra legatura in continuare sau daca fiecare se va intoarce la viata ei fara nici o schimbare.

English: In a small ceremony, only with the closed ones, in March, Wednesday.

She let me know about the happy event only a few days ahead, a little bit shy and aware of the fact that I could not make it, I could have made other plans or that my job could cause me troubles. But I really wanted to be next to her and eventually I did succeed.

Last time we saw each other was almost 1 year ago and since then we only spoke on the phone, just a little. I was not up to date with what she’s been up to, with the things that happened in her life lately, how she feels. We were very close for more than 8 years, through High School and Faculty. We promised each other that we will even apply for the same Masters Degree and that we will both give up if one of us was not going to obtain a free scholarship. Meanwhile, I succeeded to get one, she didn’t, but she absolutely refused to let me gave away my chance to continue my studies. So, we king of parted ways. She started her own business.

She really helped me a lot over the years. She always had more life experience than me, more self confidence, more social abilities and organization skills. I still remember how she brought me clothes to school from her seamstress neighbor that we would try on in the High School’s bathroom, how we skipped school to go to the Church, how we had such good grades that the school was paying us scholarship money, how all our colleagues were jealous on our friendship. She helped me follow my intuition both in good or bad. She was the sister I never had. We were telling each other everything.

Back on topic, I was very excited for her, especially because I had myself been through a civil wedding and I knew all the steps that were going to happen. With this occasion, I reminded myself all the feelings I had, my cold hand and my tears of joy. They both said a quickly and definitely “YES”, then we all headed to the restaurant, where we celebrated the happy event until late at night.

Next day I went to my job. On my way to the office, in the morning, I had a grin on my face. A thing that not happened in a long time. I was happy to have met my friend again, no matter if we will keep in touch like we used to, or if each one of us will get back to her life with no change in mind.
