One of my closest friends, whom I recently reconnected with, is Movlon, whom I first met her during an initial lesson organized by Well Education. At the time, we were just casual acquaintances, but as we got to know each other, we discovered that our goals and interests aligned remarkably well. That mutual understanding laid the foundation for a strong, enduring friendship.
He’s genuinely one of the most disciplined and dependable people I’ve ever met. Leadership seems to come naturally to him, especially in high-pressure situations. I remember how he always volunteered to take on the most challenging tasks during group projects, inspiring everyone around him. What’s remarkable is his ability to balance ambition with approachability—he’s incredibly driven yet remains easygoing and fun to be around. One quality I deeply admire is his punctuality; he’s the kind of person who never misses a deadline and is always on time.
We reconnected recently when he called me before heading on a trip to Tashkent. He was traveling from Kokand to purchase office equipment, and we decided to meet up. We ended up exploring Malika Bazaar together, where we bought several laptops for his company. The experience brought back a flood of memories and reminded me why he’s such an important person in my life.
It had been over a year since we last saw each other, and I was absolutely ecstatic to meet him again. The moment we saw each other, we embraced, and it felt as though no time had passed. We spent hours reminiscing, laughing, and reliving some of our most cherished memories. That day reaffirmed how much I value him—not just as a friend, but as someone who feels like family.
