A toast to a friend

*ting ting ting*

May I have your attention please.

We are here to celebrate the marriage of our beloved friend, Gilang, with Ms. X…..Erm, I’m sorry Miss, I dont know your name. *big smile*

This guy, *pointing my finger to Gilang*, is an old friend of mine. Well, it’s all begin in 2003. I was very cute at the time. *emotionless face*. I just entered college. To me, I’m just a little boy from small village who about to start his big journey in a big city, very dramatic. In short, in New Student Orientation, I saw this man. *pointing my finger again to Gilang*. There he was, waiting for me in the corner, alone, like a cute lost little puppy, waving his tail to me. His eyes, that will make every heart melted, keep looking at me from a far, as like calling me to him. And then, I went to him and said, “Hi, I’m Riki, where’s your Mom??”. *my friend throws a glass at me*

Ehm, that’s not what actually happened. Since both of us from small village, both good looking, both sexy, both funny, and we have a common ideology, we just clicked. In just 1 week, we decide to live together, in one same roof, unfortunately in different room. *unidentified flying object was thrown at me*

As you all know, we both took IT as our major. But at the time, phiuhhh, it was like heaven and earth. I know nothing, meanwhile he seems to know everything. God is being nice to allow me to meet him, so I can learn a lot from him, making beautiful memories with him. I swear to God, Dude, if you have vag*na, I definitely will marry you right now. *I believe, a hand grenade is thrown at me*

Our journey together in college was amazing. Too many stories written. Countless of stupid things happened. I remember the way you taught me. I remember all the inside jokes, “efek radiance”, “tragedi gayung”, “dia yg namanya tak boleh disebut”. I remember all the fights we had. I remember all rounds of CS, dotA, Diablo, Age of Empire we’ve played. “affirmative”, “fire in the hole”. *njrit…gagah betul kita dulu*

I remember all of our flirts to a DVD sales. Our breakfast, lunch, dinner, sahur, buka together, you name it. Our struggles, our laughs, our cries. Maaannn….Are you sure you don’t have vag*na down there?? *a crosshair is aimed to my forehead*

And we close our college journey by burning down all of our thesis documents. What a fabulous journey!! Oh yeah, I remember when we saw a wallpaper of a park or street where the leaves are fallen, “That’s definitely a place where I’ll propose to my girlfriend”, that’s what you said. Hehehe, Ms. X, I know you didn’t get that chance.. *smirk*

After graduation, we stick to our idealism, well, actually our laziness. Untill we ran out of money and started looking for a job. Try to be a real men. And then….we separated *usher mode on*

So why don’t you go your way….

And I’ll go mine….

Live your life….

And I’ll live mine….

You went to Bali, and I was still jobless here in Jakarta. But hey, what can I say, God have a different way for us. Again, you offer me a huge opportunity which lead to where I am now. I owe you so much, bro.

Everybody, this man, *another finger pointing*, brings out the better of me.  If he can make me, which just a friend of him, better, I believe he will make the best of his family. So Lang, this is the least I could do for you, from the bottom of my heart, I pray for your happiness, may a great and wonderful journey lies upon you.

To Gilang….cheers!!! Btw, you look nice babe!!

*I’m sorry I can’t attend your wedding bro*
