Long forgotten promise....
... resurfaced...
well, she had a fight with her boyfriend, and called me 7.15am last sunday (yes. 1 week ago. so i've been lazy...><). I didn't answer the call (hell, 7.15am, i'm sleeping, and i couldn't gather the strength to press "Answer" on the phone). But, knowing this girl for almost 9 years, i knew something had to be wrong for her to call me, and at such a strange time. So, tried to call her back.. no response. NOW, i was worried... so tried calling her every 5 mins... at first no answer.. then the line went dead ("The **** subscriber you're trying to contact is unavailable. Please try again later") . Now, that gave me a lil fright... thought of calling her home...but don't want to cause a commotion (after all, it could just be her handphone went flat.. and after all, its only 8am..). Finally exhaustion took over and i fell asleep..
Then i got a sms from her ard 8.45am.. saying her hp batt went dead (whew!). Shortly after she called me. Her voice was soft.. i knew something went wrong.
Talked to her, to keep her company...
... then suddenly...
"Do you remember the promise we made last time?"
That gave me a shock. I thought she forgot.
Me: "Ya... still remember.. "
Her: "When we both reach 30, and still single, we will give each other a chance."
Me: "hahaha, ya, 30... that's 5 years later"
Her:"WaiT! Cannot 30.. i wan to have kids, 30 abit too late liao, 28!!"
Me: "ah? hahaahahahahahaahaha... sure anot.."
Then we went on talking about "our" wedding and stuff..
For that moment, just that moment.. i felt a peace i never felt..
For that moment, i wished we could just get married right away..
But i know, its not to be, she's just trying to avoid her problems with her boyfriend.
I don't want her to use me as a way of avoiding those problems... but yet, i wish she would..
Can't be selfish.
I can't.
Now, she's feeling better, problems solved, they're back together again.
That's the best.
