Surprises

 

    Although most of you might not relate, I, for one, love surprises. It shows that a person has kept you on their mind and actually thought out something that you might like and coordinated with all the planning and executions in the background. That's exactly what happened to me today. I was thrown a surprise cake-cutting day by my friend today, since my birthday is coming up this month. They planned this all out with some of my other previous office colleagues. Although only a few showed up, I am more than thankful for those souls who went through with the effort in turning what was supposed to be a friendship day get-together into a surprise cake-cutting party. It was just what I liked as well. Not a lot of people. Just people who I loved to be around and don't get to spend a lot of time with. Sharing memories over a meal and having a laugh over all the tea that happens at my old office. It is a special kind of feeling that I am lucky to have experienced today. We cherished the day by also sharing friendship bands with my friends and sharing those bands with the ones who couldn't make it. We hugged multiple times, not knowing when the next time we would all see each other again. As I started home with my special someone, with whom I also shared friendship bracelets, she hugged me and said that everything was going to be alright. Because, when it was time to leave, the air was empty with no words. Everyone didn't want the other to leave. It was silenced with pain. A heartbreak that happens knowing that we must count the seconds till we could get to see the other person again. I only hope this bond will always stay strong, just as it was today. Silent but undoubtedly strong. A brotherhood. I am forever grateful to God for introducing these kind souls to me and I wish they will accompany me till the end of this one helluva journey we call life. Thank you guys, and thank you, my heart, for accompanying me today to see my friends. Xoxo.
