Just an ordinary friendship.

in #hive-17079811 months ago

They hadn't seen each other for four years, and furthermore, they had only met three times in their lives. The distance prevented them from being together as much as they would have liked, but it didn't hinder the friendship they both cherished.

Given the fifteen-year friendship, naturally, there were occasional disagreements. They knew each other too well, and when you know someone too well, it's possible to use that knowledge to hurt, and I assure you, both of them did.

Arya was a bit more destructive. Her personality often challenged how much the concept of kindness could cover. Undoubtedly, she loved Jane, but undoubtedly, she also hated her and knew how to express both feelings very well.

Jane, on the other hand, was a lighter person. Her voice always carried the cheerful tone of someone ready to say something kind or funny. She abstracted with ease typical of someone with ADHD, she was not as deep as Arya, Which is why she had forgiven all of her friend's foolishness, but she also loved and hated Arya several times.

Although it wasn't a balanced friendship, whenever they met in person, they had incredible moments. Conversations over the internet most of the time make any argument easy, as it's easy to type something negative or something that someone will surely interpret wrong. The margins for interpretation that messaging apps provide can cause damage. But not in person. In person, they laughed, drank beer, teased each other, and looked at each other... A gaze they couldn't always sustain because something made them look away and gaze at the ground with a half-smile, and other times, something made them keep looking, and because of that, they kissed.

That desire lingered for a long time, but it could never be explored, and so it faded away. Both lived far away, had their own lives to manage in their respective cities. After a while, they got married, had children, and four years had passed since they last saw each other.

Arya had just bought a house with her husband, and Jane was in her second marriage, this time with a woman, preparing to adopt her second child. Both were over thirty with many plans that are common at that age. They decided to meet on a family vacation just because it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

When the families met, they celebrated a lot. The kids got along, the spouses did too. It was relaxing and fun moments at the beach and also on city center walks at night. Arya and Jane were truly happy when they were close to each other; they drank beer, teased each other, looked at each other... A gaze they couldn't always sustain because something made them look away and gaze at the ground with a half-smile. There was no kiss that time.

Elas não se viam há quatro anos, e além disso, tinham se visto apenas três vezes na vida. A distância as impedia de conviver uma com a outra tanto o quanto gostariam, mas não impedia a amizade que ambas nutria

Por ser uma amizade de quinze anos, obviamente algumas vezes aconteceram aborrecimentos. Conheciam demais uma outra, e quando se conhece demais alguém, é possível que as ás vezes se possa usar disso para machucar, e garanto que ambas usaram.

Arya era um pouco mais destrutiva. Sua personalidade diversas vezes desafiava o quanto o conceito de bondade pode acobertar. Indiscutivelmente ela amava Jane, porém, indiscutivelmente ela a odiava também e sabia como demonstrar muito bem os dois sentimentos.

Jane, no entanto, era uma pessoa mais leve. Levava na voz sempre o tom feliz de quem está pronta pra dizer algo gentil ou engraçado. Abstraia com uma facilidade própria de quem tem TDAH, não era tão profunda quanto Arya, não a toa tinha perdoado todas as insensatez da amiga, mas também amava e já a tinha odiado diversas vezes.

Ainda que não fosse uma amizade equilibrada, sempre que se encontravam pessoalmente, tiham momentos incríveis. Conversar com alguém pela internet a maior parte do tempo, torna fácil qualquer discussão, pois é fácil digitar algo ruim ou algo que alguém com certeza irá interpretar errado. As margens para interpretação que os aplicativos de mensagens dão, podem causar estragos. Mas, pessoalmente, não. Pessoalmente,elas duas riam, bebiam cerveja, bricavam uma com a outra e se olhavam… Um olhar que nem sempre conseguiam sustentar, porque algo as fazia desviar e olhar para o chão com um meio sorriso, outras vezes, algo as faziam continuar olhando e por causa disso, se beijavam.

Aquele desejo passou muito tempo ali, mas nunca pode ser explorado e por isso foi embora. Ambas moravam longe, tinham sua própria vida para gerenciar em suas respectivas cidades. Depois de um tempo se casaram, tiveram filhos, e quatro anos se passaram desde que se viram pela última vez.

Arya tinha acabado de comprar uma casa junto com seu esposo, Jane já estava no segundo casamento, dessa vez com uma mulher, e se preparava para adotar a segunda criança. Ambas estavam com mais de trinta anos e com muitos planos que são comuns nessa idade. Decidiram se vê numa viagem de férias com a famlia, apenas porque já fazia tempo que não se viam.

Quando as familias se encontraram, comemoraram muito. As crianças se davam bem, os cônjuges também, foram momentos relaxantes e divertidos na praia e também nos passeios no centro da cidade durante a noite. Arya e Jane eram realmente felizes quando estavam perto uma da outra; beberam cerveja, bricaram uma com a outra, se olharam… Um olhar que nem sempre conseguiam sustentar, porque algo as fazia desviar e olhar para o chão com um meio sorriso. Não houve beijo daquela vez.
