This is going to be an extremely emotional post, just a warning!
Okay, so an old friend of mine got married last weekend and well I am so happy for her. Shahira looked stunning Masha'Allah!
We became friends when I moved to USA in 2001. Now obviously, she had lots of friends from before and we didn't really get along from the start. After some time, we became friends that we were inseparable since then. We went everywhere together, did everything together whether it was bad or good! We barely ever fought but I remember one time when we did, I don't remember what we fought about and we didn't talk. Which was very rare, let me tell you! At that time though and with her especially, it didn't matter because we always made up! She was there for me through the good and the bad! We talked about our future, how she would become a journalist and we would find our dream boys and live next to each other in Beverly Hills and stay best friends forever.
She wasn't like my sister, she is and always will be. We cried together, we laughed together. We did stupid stuff together.. but it was all fun! I don't regret one moment we spent together! Her and her elder sister introduced me to hip hop music and then to country! We went from gangsters to preps over the years and the Tupac shirts! lol! It was crazy fun!
We had lots and lots of sleepovers which included staying up all night, computer, video games and talking! Lot's of talking! One night, we had a sleepover at my house and me and her talked all night long like till morning and then we went to gym with mom! lol! We went to movies together.. and the mall and oh did Saba (the elder sister) get annoyed every time we mentioned the mall because all we did was either walk around the mall or sit at the food court eating chili cheese fries! Oh and I can never forget Wendy's frosty and fries they introduced to me!
Then came the day when we had to move back here (Pakistan), It was like the whole world was collapsing for us! :( It was just horrible! I cannot explain in words what we felt. The three didn't need anyone else in our group, it was just us 3 and that's all that mattered. We talked about how we were going to e-mail each other every single day since living there, we texted 24/7 when we weren't together!
Shahira wrote me a poem too! (She's an amazing writer) It was so sweet and she wrote this lovely message on my yearbook. Before I left, she dedicated "Here's to the nights" to me! It's such a beautiful song!
Anyways the night before I had to leave, they came over and surprised us (me and my sisters). I can never ever forget that night. Saba played the song "Save Tonight" for us and we did not sleep that night. It was just impossible to sleep! Then at the airport, Shahira cried a lot! The moment, I sat in the airplane and played "Here's to the night", it hit me! OMG did I cry?! A LOT!!!! I realized that we weren't going to be able to see each other everyday, how we weren't going to be able to talk anytime we wanted.. or go to dinners or the movies! It was so bad!
Now 6 years later, Shahira got married last weekend and Masha'Allah I cold not be more happier! We don't talk anymore even though, each day my heart aches knowing how much things have changed and how I wish they didn't! We planned so much together and I wish we could've done all of that together. I cried a lot on the weekend because I couldn't believe I was missing her wedding. I doubt she'll read this, since she doesn't know about my blog but even then..
Congratulations Shahira. You have no idea how much you still mean to me. All the best wishes to you and your husband for your new life ahead. May you always be happy! I love you a lot! You'll always be my best friend, the closest to my heart from all my friends.
