Surprised filled day

You all might be wondering why i look surprised in the picture above and it was actually taken from the video my friends recorded after which they've planned to do without me knowing.

It was just an ordinary day at the hair salon where I worked as a hairstylist from the day i finished my school. I spent my morning and evening crafting the perfect hairstyles for clients and also my mum because she comes over to my workplace every week and also my sister because she need to change her hairstyle every weekend and that's my only opportunity to help in transforming their looks and making them feel confident.

Little did I know that this particular day would be a day filled with surprises and it might be the most extraordinary day at that moment. After which i just completed a client hair, i went back to my desk to have a coffee because i came in early today and because of that i was a little bit tired and immediately i sat down I saw a glimpse of a familiar face passing by the door and instantly i thought it was a familiar client and i didn't bother to stand up because she will likely enter back.

Immediately that happened same person passed once again and this time around, i saw the face clearly but i was still doubting because this very person wasn't staying around and it's not possible for her to be here and i didn't bother to stand up because all i was thinking was that maybe i missed her so much and i was tired that's why i thougt she was the one.

Immediately after that thought, behold she came in and it was my long time best friend Esther and i was fully shocked, our friendship is been over 20 years and though we've been separated because of distance but we had been inseparable since childhood, sharing countless adventures and memories even though our busy lives had kept us apart since we were kids and we hadn't seen each other in decades, we still chat over on WhatsApp and sometimes Instagram.

"Esther!" I exclaimed, unable to contain my excitement, as she rushed towards me, i was really shy and that's the moment the picture was taken and immediately she came over, i hugged all like it was my last one and i kept asking series of questions.... How did she know my workplace?, How did she know the location?" Because it was impossible for a stranger in a new country.

She finally answered and said my mum helped her out and she couldn't resist surprising me". My eyes dazzling with excitement, I missed her so so much, and the I idea of her dropping over at my workplace was so much fun because i wouldn't have imagine that if it was me.

I led Esther around the salon and i started introducing her to my co workers and clients and i even announced i wasn't working that day anymore because my best friend was around and suddenly the tiredness i felt in the morning was over and i became energetic all of a sudden..... Few hours later i took her to my favorite restaurant and i had to order her my favorite food because i always discuss it with her and she loved it

Few hours later after the restaurant, we cane back to the salon because my favorite client came over and she needed to be ready because the nect day she was going to attend a wedding and i had no other choice than to go back to the salon and when i started attending to the client, anytime i got the chance to look at Esther it was as if she was my crush because i have really missed her.

After i was done with the client, Esther and I finally had a chance to sit down together and we started discussing and she explained how she was able to suprise me and also she told me all her plans and why she came to meet me and i had to share some of my stories and i even told her about hive, though I'm not making enough from it but I'm not giving up anytime soon. we also shared our aspirations and dreams.

As the day drew to an end , the feeling was different from other days because this time around, i knew i was going to have fun at home with Esther and that feeling of satisfaction was awesome..... from the day i knew her, she was always the supportive friend, she helped me carry everything i needed to carry home and also arranged everything i needed to arrange in the salon.

Before leaving we both left for home, Esther finally unleashed her gift she planned for me and it was a beautiful watch and i told her thank you and also i informed her that if i had knew she was coming i would have gotten her something and her response was so beautiful.... She said, the restaurant alone was the best gift and we both smiled.

She initially planned to stay with me but she came to my country because of the internship she got from working as a data analyst and all her apartment and basically everything was settled and she must visit the office to confirm she's around taht very day and she promised to come visit me at her house and As I watched her walk away, all i was thinking about was "what a beautiful friend"
