The Unique Christmas Surprise
a short story
Once upon a time, there were two childhood friends. They were inseparable. Every day, they used to play for hours. At first, their age was five. They continued playing until the age of ten. But don’t worry, nothing happened. Their days were all exciting, raining or snowing. Nothing affected their joy. Nothing. These two friends imagined the word ” nothing ” as a nasty woman. This woman full of rage, saying to them loudly, “I will be able to win you tomorrow “. But she was never right. Until this tragic day…
It was a rainy afternoon. The friends are now twenty years old. After arguing about social media, they returned to their homes. The one started decorating for Christmas. But she wasn’t happy at all. She was annoyed and angry. The other one also felt like this, bad-tempered. This anger was huge, so when they turned 30 years old, none of them talked to the other.
Again, Christmas after ten years. At a Christmas dinner, they looked like strangers. They didn’t even remember who is who. Also, the one thought: “Maybe he is dead”. The other one thought that he needs to call her. But her number was deleted, so he couldn’t do that. So, at that Christmas dinner, they decided to find each other. So, let’s see what happened!
“Oh my God, is that you? Really? I missed you!” they both said. And laughter appeared on their faces again. Their reaction was something more than bliss. That’s the true Christmas spirit. The best gifts are not material goods; they are the friends and family, the happiness and luck. Everyone deserves true friendship. Do you agree?
