Audilia is her name. And she is one of my best friends. You can always handpick her out of the crowd from her large brown, hungry eyes that often stare at you blankly like the way her Cihuahuas always look at people when they're hungry. Her stupid laughter as she laughs as if the joke is the most hillarious thing that she's ever heard in her entire life. Her mischievous grin that made people tease her because what comes next is her stupid laughter for nothing.
Her nerdiness. Her nerdy eyeglasses. Her paranoias. Her fear of her chin. Her obsession for perfect white teeth. Her habit of looking at people's teeth before any other features. Her stupidity. Her ignorance. Her simultanous habit that always left you surprised and laughing. Her clumsiness. Her strong-will. Her determination. Her fears. Her motivation. Her creativity. Her kindness. Her excellent hair-cutting skills that kept me coming back again and again.
I sent her away to US this morning. She's going to attend De Anza College in Cupertino. God how I envy her, to have a brand new fresh start for her future while I'm stuck here until next year. Crap. Crap crap.
Parting was sad and funny at the same time. When we arrived, she was still packing at home. How typical Audilia, late even in the last day here. As we grew tired of standing, waiting for her to check in inside, that bitch came out all happy. So we laughed and teased her, shouting messages for her like:
"Dont forget to comb your hair."
"Dont be late again!"
"Dont go to clubs and study hard."
Then we laughed and laughed. As time grew nearer, each of us hugged her, and she calmly whispers messages for us individually. It was heartbreaking. Her messages made me cry instantly, as I realized how she knew my dirty big secrets but stick with me through it, and shared words of advice until the last minute.
She didnt look back as she entered the door. Ready to face whatever's lie in store for her. Good girl.
As I drove back home and listened to her songs (she gave me a CD), tears seep from my eyes, bluring my vision. I cant believe I just sent Audilia away until when we shall meet again. And above anything else in the world, I wish her the best of luck. And wish that she wont change that much, because she is great as it is.
See you, partner. Have fun in US.
