At that time I did not know that it was the last day I spoke to her.She was uncharacteristically, she hided her smile, her laughter and jokes. I came to her when she asked me .

" You know, she started talking, I felt this was my last day to see you". She looked at me .

I gasped how could she say that. I tried to tell her that she would definitely be okay.

She said,"You are a friend that I like most among the other friends, you most understand me ".

I tried to understand her grief, understand her fears, understand the disappointment she felt .

"You have to be tough," I told her. Instead you said you would go to a country that you wanted to go to meet the man who you love".

She shook her head,"No, I will meet him in the heaven". Then she closed her eyes and said,"I'm tired and I want to sleep, convey my regards to your brother and don't forget to prepare a lot roses for me, I will need them in a few days".

I flinched back, but I realized soon that she did not want to talk anymore. I went home with a sad heart , my friend who was usually joking and laughing, she was no longer like that. And it turned out it was the last day I spoke to her. A week later, her sister told me she has passed away. Good bye my best friend , my prayers are always with you .
