The best thing that ever happened to me

Hello friends of the Colombia-Original community! How are you all? I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. When I saw this great competition organized by @josevas217, I really liked it. We are always so busy with the various problems in our lives that we forget about the small joys. Today I am going to share a beautiful moment that happened in the last few days, which made me feel better. And I think it will make you feel better.

My daily life goes through a lot of boredom. Because I am an expatriate. Every day, getting up in the morning, going to work, handling the pressure of the day's work and finally returning home tired. In other words, the day passes by solving one problem after another. But last Thursday, a very simple thing happened, which instantly removed my fatigue from the whole week. So I thought I would share that incident with you.

That day, I was returning home very tired after work. I was not feeling very well either. Suddenly, a light rain started on the road. Since I did not have an umbrella, I went to a small canteen next to the project to escape the rain.

After standing in the canteen, I thought that since it was raining, I would order a tea. So I was eagerly waiting for the tea, just at that moment, I suddenly heard someone calling my nickname. Looking back, I was really surprised! I could not believe my own eyes. I saw my closest friend from school, Aryan, sitting in a corner of the canteen. We met after about five years! After completing our studies, both of us became so busy in our own lives that we gradually stopped communicating. Both of us chose to live abroad, and both were in Malaysia. But we never met each other; only our thoughts would be exchanged. Suddenly, having him in front of me, I became so happy that I could not express it in words.

Then I hurriedly asked the canteen owner to heat two cups. And after making the tea, I sat down on a bench in a corner. That moment was very special to me. Because, for that moment, I forgot all the stress of my life, the worries of paying bills, and the worries of the future. It felt like I had become that carefree school student again.

We were laughing a lot, remembering our old days, those funny memories and stupidities of school. It was really great for me to spend time with someone who knows me very well on that cold,d rainy afternoon. Meeting him after so long and laughing with him was very special for me.

This unexpected incident taught me a very beautiful lesson. I realized that while running for the future, we forget to enjoy the present. We neglect the relationships that give us peace of mind. The peace I got from that small chat is more valuable than anything else. It reminded me that these beautiful relationships between people are the best medicine for stress. I promised myself that day that from now on, despite my busy schedule, wI wouldmake time for my friends.

Thank you all so much for reading this little happy story of my life. I invite my friends @suboohi @josevas217 @solaymann @nainaztengra to participate in this beautiful competition!
