Assalamualaikum,
Hi Firman, how are you? I wish you are in healthy
and happy condition.
It’s been a long time since we did not meet. Since
four years ago exactly, when my family and I decided to move to Jakarta, I
never heard about you again. I hope you always fine there.
In this month, my family is planning to go back to Depok
to visit my grandmother. I wish this could be a chance for me to spend time in
my hometown and to keep in touch with you, my little friends that I really
miss.
But I think God has another plan. I just got the
news from my school that I will have a semester exam on the second week of this
month. With a heavy heart I think our holiday should be postponed until next
time.
Send my deep apologies for other friends. Hopefully
next time we can meet.
Your friend,
Fadli Magdat
