Chapter 7: my bestie
May be I can only ask Bridgit all this questions.
'Hey Rui, May I ask where Bridgit's office is?
Let me take you there.'
'And,,,,,, '
'I know what you want to ask, he has someone to take care of him she should be here by now.'
"Goodbye Rio let meet next time I will come to check on you when I can.I took the gifts I brought for Bridgit and headed out to wait for Rui."
'Let go.'
I followed him as he led the way, we were both silent.As he opened the door all I could think of was how I was going to hug my bestie tight after all this while.
My bestie was one of the cutest and sweet friend, during my school days, she has now become more pretty and beautiful than before. I was quite astonished to meet her after such a long time.I pinched myself to check whether I was dreaming but actually I wasn't. She is now working at the Serenity of Spring hospital as a surgeon.We shared each other's memories till now.
I couldn't keep calm because I missed my bestie so much. I jumped at her hugging her and she hugged back too .We had been friends since we were kids. Our families were always close. We had always planned our life how we would settle down in this country after graduating, but her parents divorced and she moved with here to continue with school. We only kept in touch through messages and video calls once in a while.
I handed her the few gifts I brought and told her the rest were in the hotel. She was too happy.
My bestie was done with work so we headed back to collect my things and move them to her house. We also left Rui to take care of Rio but he promised to stop by and say hello when he can.
Seeing my friend again reminded me of the amazing memories we've shared together. We caught up on each other live's, sharing stories and experiences. It's incredible how our friendship could withstand the test of time and distance. It felt like forever since we last saw each other, I couldn't contain my excitement when we finally reunited. We reminisced,it was as if no time had passed at all.
We spent the next few days together, doing all the things we used to love. Every moment was filled with joy and happiness. It's moments like these that make me appreciate the true value of friendship.
' I don't want you to go back.'
Why,I still need to graduate remember what we promised I must become a business lady and a successful one?
But you can also attend school here.
Am almost done it's only three months remaining, and when I graduate that's the only way dad can agree to me coming here.
Promise you will graduate.
Yes I promise you know I can never go back on my word.
Love you bestie. We both said in unison
My off will be over tomorrow morning Rui and Rio can stay with you and show you around. And you can also spend some time knowing each other,they are my friends we have been friends since university times. It's okay,you can tell them that. I wanna know what type of people they are because am jealous they stole my best friend from me.
I am still here and I can hear that, and you know me better.
But then now that I remember what about those guys at the gym?
Yeah I forgot to tell you we think they are the guys who attacked Rio after mistaking him for Rui, because he saw them molesting a girl at the gym. So Rui family must have taken care of them.
How can they mistake both of them I mean they look totally different?
They are actually different but you know most people aren't that keen.
Now that Rui saved me don't they think it's odd?
May be, but I think they just think that he healed fast,but now it's okay you can also help Rui if you know or heard anything.
Mhmm,,,,,,
