17th October, 2020

Dear my dearest friend Mia,

Hi! How are you? I’m sorry I haven’t write a single letter since you moved. I had been busy preparing my exams and I hope you’re not angry with me. I miss you so much and I write this letter because I want to share happiness with you.

Remember that I said I want to go to college? For months, I was preparing many things for my national exam and college entrance exam. I studied hard by myself. I studied at school, home, and even went to the library until midnight. You know, I’m very ambitious because I want to be a doctor someday. And guess what? I was accepted into A university! I’m very happy and now I’m preparing many things for my college. How about you? Did you apply for college? I always pray the best for you.

Yesterday I spent my free time on the beach we visited last year. It’s still beautiful and I hope we can go there again together. What about your new place? I heard that there are many beautiful beaches in Jogja.

It’s already 10 p.m. and I have to sleep. I just want to share my happiness with you and I hope you can do the same. Please reply this letter when you have time.

Love always,

Kinan

P.S. I give you my newest picture!
