Life in State is pretty much bore - Especially in Texas. Countryside or cowboy town lifestyle (so to speak), super layback, slows pace compare to what it is in Singapore, it very different to the environment that I’ve grown up from. So most of the excite stories I could shared is my past….
Someone brought up something that reminds me that I’ve once – Because of a vow I made, I’ve flew half the globe back home for her… She doesn’t have a great personality or intelligent that attracts me so much. But she always never fails to let me feel so relax & most of all – So grateful that I got to know her in this lifespan. However our time together was pretty short one.
She flew over here last year where we spent 2 months of our lifetime with each other. That was one of the happiest moments in my entire life & it goes for her as well. We spent time together on shopping, checking out various town & cities, cook dinner, cuddle each other & many many others more.. On the last night in Texas where she’s due to fly back to Singapore – I bought a small chocolate cake & I said “Not sure when we are going to meet again & definitely wont know if I can be there for your birthday. So here I am, Happy early birthday…” She cried on the very moment she saw it. At that moment, I vow to her that no matter how tough it going to be, will try my very best to be back for her birthday.
Well, somehow I manage to pull off this stunt of mine. Got a whole month approval from management – Be back in SG & work from home (It pretty common in State to work from home) – So that I can be just in time for her birthday & also mine. Our birthday are only 13 days away each other you see… I was thrilled about coming back!!! Thinking of catching up pals & family, playing soccer again & of course able to see her makes me very excite about this trip.
But when I got the approval & bought tickets, settle everything I need to do before I fly back – She’s no longer there for me. Found someone who she believe suit more to her.. I was very sad. Totally not in the mood to work… Soon my live suffers a lot. Gotto drink every night in order to fall asleep. Not in the mood to meet another else beside work. Every day & night, I would just go out for work only & back home.
When the day came for me to take the fateful flight & back to SG.. My heart was heavy… Am I doing the right thing here? Why would I want to comeback now since she no longer there for me? Would she come to the airport & fetch me? Would we still get to spend time together on her birthday? In the end, I decided that it doesn’t matter whether it right or not to comeback due to the vow or will she still be there for me… I felt that it something can be done on my part & will do it.
When I was back for that 1 whole month – True enough we didn’t spent our birthdays together.. Yes I sad that’s how I been treated. But then I realized that at times, for all the effort we gave, doesn’t always get to see the result we desired. That saddens & beauty of life.
