No Pera-12 [Tava is Coming Back to the Country]

Look, no matter who a person is, they can do anything for the people they love. People fight many battles for those who are close to them. Tava, our old friend, is coming back to the country, and hearing this news makes everyone happy on one hand, but on the other hand, there's a bit of sadness. It will take some time to adjust the old emotions with the present situation! 😅

Me: What! Tava is coming back?

Tanid: Yeah, didn't you know? I didn't believe it at first, then his mom called and told me. 😲

Me: And did he finish his studies?

Virgil: I don't think so. Don't really know. 🤔

Raisa: So will he treat us to something to celebrate? Hahaha! 🍕🍔

Me: Raisa, you always think about food! 😆 He'll have to treat us, but wait a minute!

Now, the thing is, Tava is our old friend. But here's the deal—he really isn't the same as before. When he went abroad, he said we'd talk every day. We thought something like that would happen, but time passed, Tava got busy, and we stopped keeping in touch. 😕

We had so many laughs, fun, and crazy times with Tava! We shared everything with each other. But the Tava of today is no longer the same, and I can clearly see that. His new life, his new thoughts, and even his interactions with his old friends have become quite limited. 🧐

Raisa: So, you're not happy that he's coming…?

Me: Look, Raisa, Tava is coming, and while that's good, honestly, I don't feel the same about him anymore. 😕 He's not the same. The jokes and fun we used to have don't happen anymore. We were close once, but what happened now? Before he left for abroad, we had so much fun together, and in the end, what happened? He cut off communication again. 😤

Safiya: Yeah, actually, he didn't have the confidence back then. But now, look, he has learned a lot, and changed. 🤓

Me: He's changed, alright, but I don't want that. I've had enough, Raisa. You guys go pick him up from the airport. ✋

Safiya: Then what about you…?

Me: I'll stay here. You guys go.

Everyone went quiet at my words. To be honest, after so long, Tava is coming back, but I can't express the inner conflict I'm feeling. Time changes, but when relationships change, will our relationship ever be the same? 🤷‍♂️

Raisa: You're thinking too much. When Tava arrives, you'll see what happens. 🤔

Tanid: Yeah, Safiya is right. Tava is still our old friend, we shouldn't forget that. 🤗

Virgil: And, by the way, you always say, "Friendship is the most important thing." So, don't overthink it. People change, but that doesn't mean the relationship will end. 💪

I thought to myself, even after saying all this, my mind still wasn't at peace. But maybe I'm thinking too much. After Tava arrives, maybe everything will go back to how it was. Maybe we'll sit together again and have the same fun we used to have. But in all of this, a big question remains—why do I have so much inner conflict when everyone else can enjoy this moment together? 🤷‍♂️ So, in the end, I decided to stay behind but watch everyone else.

Tava's Arrival at the Airport

Tava landed at the airport, and everyone's eyes were shining. ✨ After so long, it felt like everything was back to normal. Raisa, Tanid, and Virgil rushed to pick him up, bringing memories of the best days. Tava had that old smile on his face, but it was a little different. He seemed a bit distant, as if there was a gap between us. 🤔

Tava: (smiling) It's so nice to see everyone after so long!

Raisa: You're not like the old you anymore! What can we say, going abroad has changed everything about you! 😲

Virgil: Yeah, and you've completely forgotten that old dancing and singing! 😆

Tanid: (laughing lightly) You're not the Tava we know anymore! 😅

Tava laughed, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. It seemed like he wanted to say a lot, but couldn't express it. I took my time and went to everyone else. Looking at Tava, I felt like so much had changed in him, but he was still important to me for the sake of our old friendship. However, who knows, maybe our old relationship will come back, or maybe it will take some time. 🤔

Me: (smiling) Tava, are you happy?

Tava: (with a slight smile) Yeah, a lot has changed. It's so nice to see you all again. 😄

In the end, time tells everything. Our bond will remain strong, maybe with some changes, but nothing significant will change in our friendship. Tava, that old laughter and fun we had between us will return—it just needs time and our trust. 🤗❤️

Thus, Tava's return marks the beginning of a new chapter. Everything may change between friends, but old relationships never fade away. 😌
