Shattered Pieces

Roman saw Biruk's profile picture on social media and spoke quietly to her self, " Oh my God, it hurts like hell". It has been nearly 2 years since they met in person and nearly 1 year since they last talked over the phone and on social media. She thought that she was over him but when she saw his profile picture, she felt this sharp pain deep inside of her heart. Thinking that he is in pain, breaks her heart to pieces. Roman had her teenage years rough, as she fell in love with her only male bestiee, Biruk. Biruk and Roman knew each other since 3rd grade. They met at a school which both of them attended. For the 1st few years they didn't really like each other that much, but after 5th grade they started to get along and starting from 7th grade they became really good friends. They studied together until 8th grade and when they joined 9th grade Roman moved to another school and Biruk moved to the other branch of their old school. This brought forward the end of the end of their face to face daily encounter. When she no longer can see him, she realized she loves him for sure. He was so.... "Roman", her brother called, but she didn't respond as she was lost in her thoughts. "Romi, Roman, H.E.L.L.O", her cheerful little brother Dagim stood before her waking her from her memories. "Yes, Dagi", she answered shockingly because of the sudden pull from her memories. "Come on let's have lunch", he said and walked away. "Okay just a minute."
