unparallel
The socializing weekend got over, leaving me an extremely pensive mood. On Saturday had a blogger meet up. Ended up sharing laughs, thoughts and ideas for almost 3 hours. On the contrary, had a girlfriends breakfast on Sunday, which shockingly came through as an uncomfortably quiet affair. The trio breakfast constituted of us 3 friends whose friendship dates back to almost 16 years.
One of the 3 got married last year and expecting her first born in June inshallah. The other one just quit her job last month, now wanting to be a boss of her own.
Being on separate paths in life, me and my business friend still have some common grounds to touch upon. The third one is on a completely different planet. Where me and the business friend were talking about the latest trends, the mother to be talked about how she could feel her baby’s poking elbows at night!
Being at a loss to converse, I took a back seat, desciding on being an observer. The business friend kept up the conversation because her sister just went through child birth, so she kindoff knew what to talk about.
From the sale at the mothercare to the prices of cots, the feeding delimmas to pre natal classes, listening to her I felt like a stranger with a person I had spent my past 16 years with.
I felt guilty. Sad and lost. Where I was thinking of design world (which was not unknown to her), my best buddy was thinking of whether to buy blue or pink!
Now that I look back, I don’t know how and when our paths became so un parallel. I don’t think I can marriage. Jam got married exactly a week after my buddy, she’s still as I would like to call it "normal".
Maybe it’s my set of tidal waves that have drifted me away….maybe sometime in life we both will have the bond that we had….maybe this is what people call life!
