I lost a friend today. It was unexpected as I was just talking to him 6 days back about the good food in Jakarta and how he should try all my favorite food haunts. I had known Ziad for 4 years now and he remembered the whole entire thing more than me. I remember asking him once, how long have we known each other and without a blink of an eye, he said 4 years. He didn't have to think about it and he remembered it all. He is a people's person through and true. He had always treated me like a sister and I used to tease him about learning Mandarin. I know we always joked about his overseas trip without his wife but I know, every single time that he travels, he misses his wife and family dearly. He was a good husband and father. Ziad, I miss our chats about travels and all our misadventures. I'll truly treasure those moments. Although far and few in between, I'll remember how you supported me and laughed with me over one too many drinks.
Yes, I agree with you when you said that I deserve a guy that treasures me and sees me for who I am. And I know you will look after me either shaking your head or smirking at me, at my nonsense.
Bro, you were one in a million and I still can't believe you are gone. You will always have a special place in my heart. Till we meet again sooner or later, don't have too much fun up there without me. And yes, remember that I had introduced you to the best dark chocolate tart ever! Rest in peace my dear friend, Ziad Asmat. It is my honor and pleasure to have known you in my life. God loves you more. Take care over there!
