I just want to tell you a very funny thing that happened to me this afternoon.

I was so oblivious to the surroundings as I walked down the halls to the grand admin building. A not so very interesting thought popped in my brain as I was holding a cellophaned cold water and sucking on it. I turned to face Dafi who was staring at me for some time as if expecting me to turn her into something weird. When just then, the cellophane popped, splashing water in my pressed blouse. I bowed & laughed - so hard!

Dafi didn’t know what to do so she laughed at me too. And there was like a whole crowd staring at me then. People were lining up to get their permits at the Business Office & they ALL turned to look at me.

Good enough that I didn’t feel my face redden that instant, saving myself from disgrace. But I WAS SOOOOO WET!

Initially, I felt cooler deep inside, I knew I had to take a break & see the funny side of life. It was a moment! You should have seen me in the act!

So we met, and we became friends. We fell in love and that started our little fights. We’d fight over things we don’t agree and we cry over break-ups and petty quarrels. I had always expected that we’d break apart. After all, we’re just humans.

One day, I thought things would never turn out right so I decided to quit and tell him about it. He was so in love and [well] I was like planning to just give it up. I told him I wanted to let go. He begged me to stay.

I cried that night. Well, I cried every night after that. Things never went easy for us. Somehow, even if there’s only that thin piece of string binding us, we decided to hold on.

Now, it’s been a month since he decided to leave and we separated ways. I’ve tried to let things go but he still held on. Maybe, he did really love me. Now, I’ve decided to stick to it. He had shed the same tears as mine, we both felt the same fears and the same heartaches.

I was never perfect for him, I had hurt him a lot of times but he never gave me up. I just needed someone to share my world with and he happened to be the perfect man for it. So this is how it goes - our same little love story.
