The day was a holiday, and I was free. I decided to stop by my friend’s office on my way home from a private business. I was surprised to see him drinking coffee in the break room with a young girl. She looked timid when she saw me, and I wondered if she was his daughter.
A few days later, I was chatting with my friend at work. I mentioned the girl I had seen, and he told me that she was his lover. He explained that they had met unexpectedly a few months ago. He was on duty at the office on a holiday, and she had stopped by to visit him. They had hit it off immediately, and they had been seeing each other ever since.
I was surprised to hear this. I had always thought of my friend as a bit of a loner. He was never one to go out of his way to meet people. But I guess love can happen to anyone, even the most unlikely of people.
My friend and his lover were very happy together. They were planning to get married soon. I was happy for them, and I wished them all the best.
But life is not always easy. A few months after they got married, my friend’s lover was diagnosed with cancer. She fought bravely for a year, but she eventually passed away. My friend was devastated. He didn’t know how he would go on without her.
But my friend is a strong man. He eventually found the strength to move on with his life. He started dating again, and he eventually remarried. He is now a happy and contented man.
I learned a lot from my friend’s experience. I learned that love is a precious gift, and that it should be cherished. I also learned that life is unpredictable, and that we should never take anything for granted.
