Sisters: My First and Forever Friends

The Trio's

My name is Luna, and I have two sisters who mean the world to me. We are as different as can be, yet we are inseparable. One of my sisters, Bubblee, is the craziest, most carefree soul you’ll ever meet, while the other, Abu, is strict and serious. But together, we form a perfect trio. We’re always smiling, always enjoying life, and when I’m feeling down, it’s my sisters who bring me comfort.

Growing up, we weren’t as close as we are now. In school, we drifted in our own ways, never realizing how much we meant to each other. It wasn’t until Bubblee left for higher education that I truly felt the ache of her absence. That emptiness led me to Abu, and for the first time, we began to grow closer. When Abu was in her final year of school, and I was just a year behind her, we became inseparable. But I still missed Bubblee terribly, wishing she could be with us.

Then, the lockdown happened. Suddenly, we were all back together, confined to our home, and that time became our sanctuary. For so many, it was a period of uncertainty and anxiety, but for us, it was a blessing. We shared everything—there were no secrets between us. We spent our days helping our father in the fields, escaping the boredom of home life. In the mornings, we’d head to the fields, work under the sun, and gossip about anything and everything. By the evening, we’d be back home, laughing, playing, and teasing each other. It was the simple joy of being together that made everything special.

During that time, I learned how to cook, and every dish I made, my sisters were the first to taste. No matter how it turned out, they never complained. Instead, they encouraged me, and when I tried my hand at making sweets, they devoured them with delight. Our mother would often scold us for staying up late, but we would only laugh louder, knowing that nothing could ruin our time together. Even when relatives would criticize us, we found humor in their words, teasing them right back. We weren’t just sisters—we were best friends.

We did everything together, right down to wearing matching outfits and doing the same hairstyles. But when it came to hair, both Abu and I were hopeless. Bubblee was the one who always helped us, tying our hair and fixing our messy buns. She was also the one who loved makeup and had dreams of becoming a makeup artist. Unfortunately, our parents didn’t support her ambitions, but that never stopped her from experimenting on us, turning every day into a little makeover session.

Our problems were never serious; we turned them into jokes and laughed until two in the morning. That’s how we dealt with everything—by finding the humor, even in difficult situations. When the lockdown ended, Abu went off to college, and I felt the familiar loneliness creeping back. But soon after, Bubblee finished her studies and returned home. We reconnected, and I found solace in her wild, carefree spirit. She was lazy, a little crazy, and short-tempered, but she was also loving and fiercely loyal. Abu, on the other hand, was strict and active, always the silent observer when we were out, but loud and playful when we were home.

Every decision we made was a discussion; there was no room for fighting. My sisters loved to tease me, and even in moments of danger, we found a way to laugh. I still remember the day I hesitantly confessed to having a boyfriend, and my sisters looked at me and said, "We already knew that." They always seemed to know everything about me, without me even saying a word.

I’m not a foodie, but I do love to eat, and whenever my sisters visit, they bring so many snacks for me. I always look forward to their arrival, knowing that they’ll come bearing treats. One of my fondest memories is my birthday celebration during the lockdown. We didn’t do anything extravagant, but my sisters baked me a cake, and that simple act made it one of the most pleasant days of my life. I will never forget it.

What I want to say is this: if you don’t have friends, don’t worry. Look to your sisters, talk to them, and understand them. They will be your first and best friends, always. Sisters are the best friends in life, and the only "enemy" you can’t live without. I love my sisters deeply. They support me, they make me proud, and they add the perfect touch of sweetness to my life. They are the cherries on the cake of my existence, and I am endlessly grateful for them. We are different flowers on the same plant, and I grew up watching them, always wanting to be just like them.

Thank you, Bubblee and Abu, for being my strength, my joy, and my forever friends.
