Dear, Hanifah
Hello, Hanifah, how are you? I hope you are good. Hanif, we have not met each other for a long time, and today, I’m very happy to be back for writing you a letter. Actually, this month, I’m planning to visit your city, Surabaya, but my parents cancel the vacation plans because they have to prioritize our business in Singapore. As a result, we will not go to Semarang and choose to have a holiday in Singapore. I am very sad about the decision, and it always makes me promise to go to your home alone when I have been older. It seems difficult to rely on my parents in order to take me a vacation to a place that I want, I think, they always follow their business but do not follow what I want.
Oiya, I heard you won the biggest badminton competition in the province of East Java. I read your name in the newspaper last week. The reporters wrote that you had beaten your opponent in just two sets and all sets were ended with a landslide. When reading the news, the thing that I wanted tell you at that time was that “I’m proud of you”. I know that someday, you will become the great badminton player. I still remember how you beaten Anita, the best student badminton athlete in Jakarta. Since that game, I am extremely sure that you could be the best badminton players in Indonesia. But Hanif, I told you for not forgetting your study. Be like Hanif that I know, always amazing in Badminton and in study.
:D Sorry if I give too much advises to you, please forgive your friend. Hanif, if I visit in your home, I want you to give all your time to accompany me walking around the city of Surabaya. I want to see the city not only from the television or video recordings that exist on Youtube. Even though you will be having badminton training schedule, I am going to definitely force you to skip so you can go with me.
Hanif, it looks like that this is the last paragraph of my wiriting. I do not know what I have to write anymore. I’m afraid if I’m too long to think and write, then I will miss you more and I could not cope with such longing. Hanif, my friend, keep your health. Always be my friend that I have known before, and do not forget to reply this letter.
friend,
Vina
