I finally understand what it means by "it only takes someone to make the first step." I had this bunch of sec school friends whom I did not contact for 2 years+ due to some misunderstanding. I hesitated from contacting them all this while as I was worried they might still b angry with me. But after some convincing from another mutual friend, I decided to take the big step and contact them for the first time in two years. I mean, its easy picking up the phone to call someone you lost touch with, but not someone whom you parted with anger or sadness. But I decided since I am moving on to the next phase of my life, I shouldnt bring over those grudges or bad feelings with me. And some part of me do miss these gals who I've spent my happiness and poured out my sorrows to. We did promise each other to be present at one another's wedding too. Like what our mutual friend said, you never know unless you try...and if you tried and fail, at least you've tried.
So after getting their contact info, I msn one of them and sms the other....to my pleasant surprise, both of them replied!! They still treat me as their friend. This is how it goes...
Me: "Hi Jac, this is Ailian. Long time no c, how r u?"
(I waited for almost an hour and was about to give up hope when my hp rang.)
Jac: "Hi, how r u? Congrats, heard you are getting married." (Yippey~she is not angry with me anymore...I struggle hard to fight back my tears that is on the verge of falling)
Me: "Ya, I wanna invite you and shan to my wedding. Not sure if you can make it."
Jac: "Sure. I am off on that day."
Me: "I am glad you're not pissed with me anymore..I do miss you guys all these while."
Jac: "Miz ya too."
This is roughly how the conversation goes...will be miting up with them this sun...wow, I am really excited at that. Will be inviting them to our house..will be the first time any friends come over to our house...hehe..I decided to give them this privillege. Really glad I had the courage to take this first step..and thanks to them for being so forgiving towards me....now my life is almost perfect....good hubby, good job, nice colleagues and found back my long lost pals!
