Like other years, Valentine’s Day passed without any special plan, except that for lunch, the ten of us including cell members & PKVians made our way to Suchan to have a lavish lunch. It’s another heartache that now we are all (almost) a year older and single. While many held hands along our paths, we enjoyed our singles’ lunch. Later at night, a friend & I casually went out to play fireworks. We made it clear that had it been any other day, we would still go out. It turns out that we really had a great time together. Half way playing in the midst of the rain, he playfully yet seriously (I know this is oxymoron, but don’t know the better words to use) said that he wanted me to be his girlfriend. He mentioned once long ago during our Monday lunches, but I pretended I didn’t hear. Of course I was beamed with joy, but I told him that he didn’t made enough efforts so I didn’t really answer him.
Chemistry plays a big part of my life, both academically and in a relationship. Before this, a bit of a spark took place. If I didn’t like him at all, I wouldn’t spend the whole night talking to him until 4am (with other ppl as well). But when we both went back to our individual hometowns, the fire died like the fireworks would. He didn’t call me, or even a message. So I came to believe that it had all only been a fantasy.
No vow had been easier to fulfill except the one I made following my break – up in 2003 – that I would remain single until 21. At present time, I’m only 2 months away to fulfilling it. Time flies, so everyone says. Whatever pain I went through that time, I can’t even remember the feelings now. I can only remember how God comforted me in the middle of the night when I cried myself to sleep. I was overwhelmed with sorrow, but He comforted me with this verse from
Rev 21:4(NKJV)
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
