The silent companionship at noon, the waves in the hearts of close friends
On a sunny afternoon, the sun shines like golden satin in every corner of the city. Today, I meet my best friend Xiaofang who I haven't seen for a long time in a restaurant full of retro charm.
This reunion is not only for tasting food, but also to listen to her inner voice. Xiao Fang's recent mood is like ripples on the surface of the lake, seemingly calm, but in fact, there are layers of hidden waves. I know that she is going through an emotional low point, and her marriage seems to be facing many trials.
In the dining room, we sat opposite each other, and I first poured her a cup of steaming jasmine tea, which was fragrant, as if it could dispel some of the gloom in her heart. Our conversations weren't frequent, but I could feel her mood shifting subtly. Finally, she pulled out a blue notebook from her delicate handbag, which, I know, was a symbol of the end of her marriage. However, I didn't ask too much, just gently held her hand and whispered, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”
Xiao Fang looked at me, a flash of surprise and gratitude in her eyes. She asked softly, "Are you really not surprised?" I smiled and shook my head and replied, "I know about your recent situation and I know that it must not be easy for you to make this decision. But what I want to tell you is that you are not alone in the fight, no matter what the future holds. I will be your most solid backing. ”
Her tears began to slide slowly, but I knew that it was not because of sadness, but because the emotions that had pent up in her heart were released. Xiaofang has experienced too much struggle and patience in this marriage, and has put in too much effort and expectations. At this moment, what she needs may be someone to talk to, a shoulder to lean on.
So, we started an in-depth conversation. We talked about the good old days, but also about our dreams and plans for the future. During the conversation, I seemed to see the light of hope rekindled in Xiaofang's eyes, which was a kind of expectation and yearning for the future.
After lunch, we decided to have a few drinks. We ordered a bottle of red wine and talked about life while tasting it. It's the first time I've been so relaxed and enjoying time at noon on a weekday, and it's the first time I've forgotten the passage of time because I'm with my friends. But I know that it was all worth it, because I saw Xiaofang's courage and determination to gradually come out of the trough.
In retrospect, that afternoon was so precious. It gave me a deeper understanding of the true meaning of friendship and a stronger belief that no matter what difficulties we encounter in life, as long as we have each other's company and support, we will be able to get through it.
