1. Friends

I have to pass this file to my manager before lunch then I’ll take a little rest before continuing my work as graphic designer. I have been working with El ALFA Cooperation almost 1 years and I kind of comfortable with it.

I have a nice working environment with co-worker and the manager. We work as a team and are a big family that supports each other.

Worked at early in morning till evening after 6 o’clock.

I promised to meet my friend today at the place we set after work. I’m wore blues jeans with grey colour t-shirt inside and a brown leather jacket outside with a pair of sneakers as always.

I’m not a very fashionable person but I have my own style. I can be simple and also glamorous according to occasion.

We meet at an Italian restaurant in the middle of the town which has the best Caprese chicken. I’m in love with their Ricotta choc chip mousse tart I could eat five of it I guarantee.

At 7 pm I just reached the entrance of the restaurant. They were already here, waiting for me. Excuse myself.

Rubbing hands as a sign of apology. " Sorry I’m late just 5 minutes. "

" It fine. We ordered your dinner as usual " My friend Mikayla Sánchez stated. A smile appeared on her pink lips.

" Thanks. " I thanked her with a smile on my face. Taking the seat beside her.

" So how is it going? " I directly ask Helen Spark.

"Me? The wedding? " Helen asking me. She pointed at herself with her index finger.

"Pretty much fine. Just a few things that have be reorganise and confirmed. " She continues.

I scoffed. " That’s considered a few things?... it looks like a lootttt of thing. ", I said.

" Shut up! It has to be prefect for my wedding day so I’m having a difficult time on deciding. "

She defences herself. Not because she is right but because she can’t lose.

" You disturbed me in the mid night asking about cake theme. "

Mikayla muttered. Helen has been disturbing our sleep for the past few weeks. Resulting in us sleeping less and not being productive the next day.

" I need you guys opinion too… " Said Helen while laughing. She knew we would pick up the call for her even though it was already three o'clock in the morning.

" But not two in the morning. " I proclaim. Then sipped my drink that was already on the table.

Helen laugh.

" Well you guys did help me a lot through this time. Thanks. " Thanking us.

" I hope I get rewarded." I said as my smile widened proudly showing my white teeth.

" You will! I promise. " Helen declares as she has prepared a reward for me and Mikayla. She sounds confident.

" So where will you guys will be honeymoon? " Mikayla probed changing the subject. She took the fries and put them in her mouth.

" Krabi, Thailand maybe. " Helen answer. She and her beloved fiancé have decided to plan a honeymoon with lots of beach activities and including hotel activities.

" Wow... before that happen we should enjoy this time first. " I announced while holding my wine glass in the air ready to make a cheering toast.

" Yeahh… " Mikayla ended the conversation with a toast.

Three of us have been friends since we were studying in university at New York. We once were roommates but we were not studying in same course. We were so close to each other till we completed our degree.

We have gone through ups and down but we still have each other. We laugh together. We cry together. I have to admit that they know me better than I know myself.

Mikayla Sánchez is of Hispanic blood. Her dad is Mexican and her mom is American. Her family had a business in the entertainment industry for a long period.

After she graduated she got involve in the family business and worked as an executive in the company.

While Helen Spark is American she has a bubbly character and also clumsy but she was also our sunshine. She met Jacob, her fiancé, in university, they kind of fell in love at first sighs.

After two years dating they decided to tie the knot this year in June. She works as a consultant in big company.

After 3 hours spending time together we had to be apart. Helen reminded us because her wedding day was that date.

" I’ll see you guys on the 26th. "

" Yeah... I’ll be there on the 25th. My flight is at midnight. I will be there in the morning. "

Mikayla had already booked her flight ticket a few days ago. Yeah! She is good at planning.

" I let you know later. I need to apply for my leave first. Wish is I hope I don't forget to do this week. " I said, while looking down at my feet.

The dinner goes on blissfully. We had a great time chatting and gossiping. We gave each other hugs and kiss and went off the restaurant.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

In this past two weeks I have been busy with my work until two days ago. Tomorrow is 26th the day that I was suppose to be in Oklahoma at Helen’s wedding day.

But here I am, still in New York packing my clothes at 12 am. I forgot to book my flight but luckily I was able to book it yesterday. My flight was schedule to be this morning.

I’m finished packing my clothes at 2 am and slept. I had another hour to sleep and wake up before 7 in the morning.

After a few hours of rest, I got ready to go to the airport. I’m was wearing a black crop top matching with cropped denim jacket, olive green vetements drawstring sweatpants, and black sneakers.

A pair of round sunglasses. I’m preferred rather comfy clothing today.

John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) it took 5 hours 28 minutes to Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma. New York City is 1 hours ahead of Oklahoma City.

I had arrived in Oklahoma grabbed a taxi and headed to Southwind Hills in Goldsby as it is the place they were having a wedding. They had decided to have a rustic wedding which will take place in a big farm and barn.

As soon as I reached the destination, I met Helen and Mikayla straight away. They have been waiting for me as always. I was so happy to see them and also for Helen, she will soon be a bride, for now she is the bride to- be.

From a distance I could see Helen's grumpy face.

" You were lucky I still hadn’t got married before you came here. " Helen retorted to me with sulking face

" It's not too late though. We still had time to have fun tonight. " Said Mikayla while clapping her both hands in excitement.

" I know. My mistake. I’m sorry. " I laughed and hugged them.

" It's okay but we’ll get drunk tonight. " Said Helen. She seems nervous and excited at the same time.

" NO! " Mikayla and I responded simultaneously.

" Your wedding is tomorrow. You can’t get drunk tonight. Nope! " Mikayla objected .

" We’ll be beheaded by your parents if we let you to do that. " She added.

" But I think one glass is enough to get rid of your nervousness. " I tapped Helen’s shoulder to give her support.

We spend the rest of the day with talking and valuing the time we spent the time together when were in the university.
