A SHORT STORY

I NEVER REALISED HOW IMPORTANT FRIENDS COULD BE

I was just about to get on the bus when somebody called my name. Just then I turned around to my surprise I realised that the person who was in front of me was my best friend from childhood. I was delighted to see her again after such a long time. We decided to go for a coffee in a café nearby. I was surprise to know she had got married and now she was pregnant. She had always told me (that) she hated children and she wouldn't ever get married.

I was getting tired of her story so I got up and I went to pay. No sooner had I paid than someone called my name again. To my horror it was my old teacher from school. Although I wanted to disappear I had to stay there for two hours. Luckly my friend Tom saw me and he noticed how bad I was feeling. Her came to rescue me. It was the worst day I had ever had.

However, that day I understood how important friend could be in our life. Without his help I would have to stay there all that afternoon.
