Butterfly Kisses

She was once a very close friend to me. We talked so much things about our lives. We shared each families failures and successes. We talked much about love, passion, affection, how is it to be loved, how to love, how to pass the exams, how to be able to surpass the trials of projects and the challenges of college life.

we talked about our past love lifes. We talked about our elementary days. I would remember her telling me the tragedy in her life. She was maybe grade six at that time when she and family got an accident from a tricycle ride. She had encountered a quite severe situation when she had to be operated in one of her legs. She had the cane for almost a year. But the strong girl tried to make her self fight against the test of time. After a year and a half she managed to dance tinikling in her second year. Though her other leg is longer than the other but still became a very good dancer.

In college she had a lot of things to give up, like she was not able to go with us in the educational tour because of lack of finances. But despite of that, she became a very good student and friend for all of us. We graduated with flying colors.

Two weeks after graduation, she grabbed the offer from one of the prestigious medical school in our place to teach. She became a very good teacher too. During those times when we were still looking for a job she had landed her own already.

Well, most our friends got a good job. I personally didnt imagine this very woman will be the first one to settle down. With her character, she is mistaken to become a nun. I've known she got a boyfriend but I was shocked one day when she texted me inviting her to her wedding.

Well, I just cant believe it. man, the girl we used to know is no more a girl but a full grown woman. The girl we used to tease before and loved as a sister is going to be someones possession.

When her day comes, I came late. The emotions were mixed. She is kneeling in front of the altar with her man. I was happy for her. But I was sad too. Happy because she will lead another step of her life. Another truiph in her life. She will have someone to share her life with. She will have her someone to be with. In both the difficult and beautiful life that will come her way... Iwas sad because we will not get her one hundred percent attention. She will have womeone to consult in every decision she will make.

But like what her father have said, even he, doesnt want to give her lady but that is her decision. And so be it. She became the woman of her beloved man....
