BEST FRIEND

JENG JENG!!! Ini ceritanya genk saya pas SMP pemirsah, namanya Genk 2-do! Alay bed yak
This time I'm going to tell about a little story of mine. This story makes me realize how important to keep your friendship. This also makes me more value the meaning of best friend as well.

Well, this is the story.

When I was on Junior High, I met Juwanto Setiyawan, my friend and I used to call him JuJu. At the first time, I found JuJu a bit, well, annoying. He was so quiet and did not want to talk. The only person he wanted to talk is his seatmate, Alfian. Firstly, as a new students usually do, I tried to know all my classmates, and I tried to talk to JuJu. The respond wasn't so good, and he even ignored me!
From that moment, I blacklisted him and promised to myself I didn't want to talk with him anymore!
Juju, surprisingly was a smart student. He always got a good score in every exams. I, well, wasn't a really stupid student, though. I also got not a really bad score for my exams at that time. So, from that time also, I considered him as my rival. When we were on the first grade, we weren't in a favorite class, so by seeing JuJu got a good mark, it somehow motivated me to get good mark and entered a favorite class for the next grade.
This kind of situation lasted until we were in the second grade. Fortunately, I could enter the favorite class, and so did JuJu. We were a classmate again!
Firstly, the situation between us was still a bit awkward. But then, we were getting closer and he also became my seatmate. We began to share our story each other. He liked Agnes Monica, and JuJu also the one who made me becoming Britney Spears fan. 
As the time went by, we were getting even closer. When we entered the third grade, we became a classmate and seatmate again in a favorite class again! (I was so smart when I was in Junior High. I'm freaking serious. But then now... Well, forget it!). This time, the situation was a bit different. JuJu and I were still a best friend, but I got another good friends either. Moreover, I active in School Organisation too, so I got much more friends. It wasn't a big deal at the beginning, but then I started to ignore JuJu slowly.
The final exam was about to come, JuJu and I prepared everything for it. JuJu then stayed in my house (my house is a boarding house) because it is closer to our school. But at the same time, Zaqi was also stayed in my house (Zaqi is my best friends as well. We even schooled in the same Junior High School and Senior High School).
At that time, I didn't know why, I prefer to study with Zaqi rather than JuJu. In our class, I also prefer to chat with other friends rather than him. We actually in the same study group, but I always ignored him and talked with other friend. I came to him just when I need a help. At that time, I still didn't realize that (probably) I was hurting JuJu's feeling.
In case to steal my attention, JuJu then always said something bad about me. Well, it was a jokes, but I found this as annoying thing. I still remember, when we were studying in library with other group members, JuJu suddenly talked something bad about me. I was so angry at that time, and I swore until the librarian scolded me. From that time, I almost never talked with JuJu again, even in my house. I prefer to visit Zaqi's room rather than JuJu's. 
The final examination was getting even closer. We studied even harder. 
One day, Zaqi and I were on Zaqi's room studying some materials for the final exam. I still remembered my mother told me to ask JuJu to join with us too, because she saw JuJu study in the terrace by himself. I still got a bad feeling with JuJu so I preferred to keep quiet. Zaqi then called JuJu to join us, but he wouldn't. 
This awkward situation lasted until we finished our national exam. We still had couple months to prepare practice exam. This time I began to realize that JuJu is always alone. At the school break he didn't go to canteen instead of sitting on our class yard by himself with his empty gaze. I started to feel guilty because I had ignored him for all this time and approached him just when I need a help. 
My Junior High time was finally over. My friends and I decided to celebrate it by visiting new cafe near our school and tasting some menu there. JuJu was refused my offer at first, but I forced him to join us. Even though he finally joined us, he didn't seem so happy. 
JuJu and I were finally accepted in different Senior High School. When he moved to his new boarding house, I wasn't at home, so I didn't farewell him so well at that time. I felt even guiltier at that time. 
As the time passed, we were living separated in different school. After a couple month, JuJu and some of my Junior High school friends decided to hold a reunion. I was so happy to meet them and JuJu seemed so fine. I actually wanted to say sorry for my bad farewell, but I didn't want to destroy the atmosphere, so I decided to delay it. 
I sometimes still visited JuJu's new boarding house, and he also sometimes dropped in my house. The last time he and my Junior High school friends visited me was when I got freaking chicken pox. My face turned so ugly (until this time) and they all were cheering me up.
After that time, JuJu and I were busy with our own school activities. We rarely contacted each other and began to lost contact until this time.
I sometimes see him in my Facebook timeline. He always uploaded his new photo with his college friends. He looks so skinny and his hair is long now. Apparently he is a hiker. He looks so great and happy. I'm so happy with him right now. I sometimes comment on his Facebook status, but he rarely replies it. He also never replies my message. 
Tonight I see his status saying that he gets a new girlfriend. It's so fun to hear that. Unfortunately, I cannot congratulate him since he never responds my message anymore.
I think this is a karma for me. I was so selfish, and when I realize that, JuJu already goes too far.
Well, I deserve it. From this experience, I learn not to be a selfish person. I start to evaluate the meaning of friendship even more. 
Never leave a person who always by your side, a person who always take care of you. Before is too late, let's keep our best friends and try to make them happy.
