Everyone you meet has something to teach you.
This one's for you, Dim.I still remember the first time I saw you more than a year ago. I was alone in class and you peeped in, asking me if I knew where Navisa was. I, being the clueless girl who was too indulged in her daydream, only muttered a quiet "no". I then discovered that you were one of Ega's - my best buddy - best buddies. That was when I decided that you were worth to get to know about, and eventually, be good friends with.
I still remember the first - and also ironically the last - time we hanged out together. I just arrived at Pekanbaru for my first ever semester holiday, and being a not-so-sociable person, I never expected anyone to get excited about my presence back in hometown. I never expected that anyone would even bother to welcome me back, let alone immediately ask me for a meet-up right after I arrived.
But you did. You were somehow really glad that I was finally home, asking me to go out and eat at some random place near our houses. We then finally asked Ega to join, and there I was; finally realizing that I had friends who actually cared enough to meet me and listen to my stories as soon as I came back from a long, tiring adventure far away from home. And for that, Dim, I'd forever be grateful.
You somehow always had the way to make me feel good about myself. You congratulated me when I got into UGM, even though we were not very close back then. You repeatedly implied that you were proud of me at the time, and also months later when my campus 'crush' noticed me (it might sound irrelevant, but it meant a lot - really, it did). Dim, if only you knew how proud I am to ever encounter a soul as beautiful as yours.
I've always believed that there's no such thing as coincidence when it comes to crossing paths with other people at some point of our lives. I hope you know I'm sorry for all the times when I just brushed your advices off. Now that you're gone, I just realized that there are lots of things I should've done. I haven't even thanked you for all the things you'd done for me, for all the times you made me feel like I matter. But for now, I hope my endless prayers would be enough to becalm you till Hereafter comes.
Love to you, eternally. You might be physically absent from this world, but the beauty of your soul will be something I'll always hold close to my heart. Goodbye for now.
