Clarissa & Naham

It is so funny to see Clarissa playing with her friends these days. From worrying that she won't play well and nice with other children, I have seen her developed friendship at school. 

Every morning when I dropped her at school, there will be this little girl name Naham waiting for her. She is a pretty little Arabian girl with big brown eyes and fair skin. Whenever Naham saw Clarissa going into the TV room (where all the kids stay before school starts), she will give her a big smile. After that all her attention will be on Clarissa and the two will talked non stop. Peeping at them from the window outside, I always wonder what they were chatting about. There was even one time where I saw her putting her arm protectively over Clarissa's shoulder trying to protect her from another girl whom, for some reason, Clarissa didn't like. 

However, for the past two days my little weirdo daughter felt annoyed whenever her little friend tried to ask her to play. And her little friend, sensing her moodiness, did not dare to insist on playing with her. I could see from the outside that she was acting very cautious with Clarissa to avoid annoying her further. So, I decided to lecture my daughter a bit, telling her that she should play nice with everybody. Luckily, being a filial daughter, she always remember what Mommy said, and this morning when she went into the TV room, she called for her little friend. I can immediately see the Naham's face lit up when Clarissa called her, and she touched her face affectionately, and once again put her little arm on Clarissa's shoulder. 

It was a touching moment to see two little girls from two different classes (yup, that's right, the only time they played together, was just during that one hour in the morning), two different countries, two different nationalities being such good friends. I am sure over the years Clarissa and Naham will have more friends, but I do hope that they will be able to maintain their little friendship. 

The funny thing is, the other day I celebrated Clarissa's birthday at school, and the following day, I found out that Naham was celebrating hers. I could not help wondering whether you should call that "緣份“.....
