I've known her since I was 12 years old and we used to go to the same school in Holland. I spoke pretty much no English back then, but she still was extremely kind to me and that I will never forget. She lived in London for a couple months doing internship and it was amazing to be able to hang out with her just like how we used to. It was great to have her around with my friends from London too. It reminded me of the fact that the values I seek in my friends have not changed through all these years.
She brought this small booklet, where she kept the notes and letters we exchanged during classes. It was embarrassing and so precious at the same time. So many memories, they bring us back in time.
God knows where we will reunite again. NYC? India? London? But I'm already looking forward to our next meeting.
私が英語をまったく話せなかった時期から、本当に優しくしてくれた大切な友達。今全く違う環境にいるのに、数年の歳月が経ったのに、こうやって再会しても何も変わらず付き合えるというのは本当に奇跡みたいで、幸せなことです。
彼女は、友達からのメモや手紙をファイルした本を旅行するたびに持ち歩いているのだけれど、その中には私のメモもあったし、愛梨やれいかちゃんや、恵の手紙も入っていたよ。照れくさいけれど、こうやって大切にされていることは、とても光栄。
次は、ニューヨークかインドあたりで会いたいねと言って別れた。再会が今から楽しみ。
