I don’t know why I don’t have a lot of friends like the other. Since I studied at grade 7, I had one close friend called Seakly and the other normal friends. At grade nine I had known another girl that just moved from Battambang called Rattana. And in this time I had known Mesa, Tola and the other gangsters (because they like to fight) in the schools. But Seakly quit school at grade ten for her business. At that time I have 4 new friends (Rattana, A Hong Chea, A Hong Ty and A Sna) to replace her included the one from Battambang.
And at grad 12, I still have the same of that 4 friends and include the other 5 boys( Kan, Nak, Chhy, Thea and Darana) Darana and me now stop talking with each other for no reason.
Very surprise that one of my friend named Ty studied with me since grad 7 until 12 and until now we still keep in touch.
After the Bac II exam, I got D at that time all of my friends pass but Rattana. I came to Phnom Penh to pursue my studied. And day by day those friends seem far a way from me. A Hong Ty studied in my province, A Hong Chea came to USA, A Sna and Mesa went to French.
Yes, now let’s talk about the boys Ty, Thear, Nak, Kan and Chhy came to Phnom Penh for study too, so when I want to meet old friends I always come to them. Therefore, I always be the one amongst the other boys (really good huh cos they will care only me
). But a few month later all of us seem to be apart we have our own ways to go, we rarely meet each other I am always the first who invited them to go out to meet together, and yes as I invited them I have to wait for them to come (they always late).
Just a few days past I lost one of my friends, Nak, he died on August 25th. He lost since that day but the traffic police just call to tell that he died on 30th. How come? Why did they do their work so late? My friend was burn without the relatives to accompany him.
I am a bad friend that can’t help my friend or even go to join his funeral. But I will try to go on his 100 days ceremony.
From now on, I will have less friends than before and I think that we are hard to meet again. Because we seem very far from each other now.
