To be a friend

Assalamualaikum,

Tu ne voudrais pas devenir mon amie?

Would you become my friend?

A friend. From the bottom of my heart, I am not very good in making friends especially new ones. The sad part of it all, I also cannot really bond with someone even though they are my close friends. While thinking about this, I questioned myself in whether or not I am a good friend or a bad friend.

Suddenly, a little boy approached me and asked me to become his friend. He asked me to play with him for a while because his mother is busy working at the administration department. So, I played with him for a while and we had fun. It has almost become dusk, he said that it has become late and he wants to go home. He quickly got up and run towards the faculty building, when he was running, he stopped and turn to me and said, 'Abang, abang ni pelik la, kawan dengan budak-budak kecil, tapi kalau kita sebaya mesti kita jadi kawan baik kan?,'.

That being said, I replied to him with a smile and said to myself, 'At least there is one kid that is willing to be my friend if I have none'.
