Love ?Part 3 Trilogy

After a while thinking about the continuation of the boy and his so-called life adventure… This is the continuation of the Love? Trilogy and hopefully it will come to an end. 3 years (again) after leaving his love behind (he has to) to start a new life, the boy served the state government at his homeland and the story started here in his life’s diary. This is not a spoiler but the rest of the story and hopefully the “?” will never present on this chapter again anymore. This is one of the most difficult stories to be told.


Life is full of hopes and commitments (as usual) for the boy at his homeland, it seems that he had forgot the past which burden him all this time. There was an attempt made by him to get things right when he flew back sometime to peninsular to search for the girl. Sadly, his search was in vain, he was told that the girl has move back to her homeland and quit the jobs few months recently. His feeling was mixed with disappointment and relief, between regretted and released from the guilt that binds him more than 2 years ago. Should he met the girl again and she forgive the boy for his mistakes, probably the boy decided to stay with her like before no matter what the consequences might came from that decisions. His old employer still insists him to work for the company if the boy decided to stay at peninsular with promising salary which can drive him to stay. Probably God has HIS plans for the boy. Money is nothing compare to what he loved the most.


Returned from his so-called vacation (peninsular), the boy continues to serve his homeland and hopes to build a new life to achieve his dream. This is where the story begins.


It all started when the boy met a girl while paying his streamyx bill at the telekom. She seems to have problems (confused) with the amount needed to pay for the bill (statement) and asked the boy (since there’s nobody around). Coincidently, the boy had worked as an internet provider installer before and familiar with it, able to help the girl and explains why she has to pay such amount enthusiastically. Started from simple conversation which leads to frequent texting (sms) and meets up at the town (date as a friend). Both of them have different about their place to eat, favorite foods, sports, books, movies, music and their passion. These differences are the chemistry that bonds both of them. They exchange ideas about it and experience other’s own view. They exchange books, favorite place to eat between themselves just to have a new view; listen to each other owns favorite mp3, the boy even tried tennis a sport which is quite awkward for him and the so on... One thing in common, they share the same dream “live their life to the fullest as someone who change others e.g. teacher”


Then one day, the girl surprises the boy when she bravely told the boy about her feeling towards the boy. The boy was shocked and hesitated (because he just want her to be his friend) and afraid that things might not going well like his past relationships (even though they tolerate to each other differences) but when he dive deep inside his heart to search for an answer whether he has feeling towards her. Indeed, she is... and he accepted her as his………………….. (Fill in the intentionally blanked dot).


Since then, life was so cheerful and interesting for the boy. Day by day the boy opened a bit of the space in his heart for her to paint his heart. They spend much of their time together and talked about anything they could possibly think of. They exchanged present and chocolate (and muffin also) during their birthday. Those days were full of blessing. She is probably the best gift he ever received who was like a little boy who received gift from GOD during his birthday. Normally in a relationship there is always conflicts and misunderstanding since they have different background and view, sometime even quarrel about small matters (never last long) but that didn’t affect their feeling toward each other. Both of them tolerated to each other despite the differences. When problems rise between them, they faced it and solved it together and the boy lost for words when the girl always there for him in time of need. He learned a lot from the girl.


When the KPLI application for January 2009 intake opened, both of them applied it together (the girl also a graduate) in hopes that they can be a teacher someday and live their life together as teachers. Unfortunately, things didn’t go their way. Like a gift from GOD that’s always full of the unexpected. Two separate news received by both of them with the bad and the good news. The good news is the boy successfully passed his interview and offered to join KPLI at teacher educational institute meanwhile the girl, didn’t. She was so disappointed since she applied it more than 4 times. The boy tried to comfort the girl that there would be another intake next year and asked her not to give up hopes. During the last week before the boy departs to the institute, the boy never thought that it was so hard for him to live without seeing her even for a moments. He decided to spend the rest of the week with her rather than at home and wished that time would just stop for both of them...


During the management week at the institute the boy missed the girl so much that he gives her a call every night until one day, (last day before Chinese New Year one week break) when she tried to call him during the activity which is odd since the boy had told her not to call during that period because he might be busy with the activities held by the institute. He usually left his handphone in silent mode during the activity. The boy noticed frequents missed call on his handphone after the activity finished late night, the boy tried to call back only to be answered by her voicemail. The next day the boy was so happy that he’ll met the girl at his hometown. One thing that worried him since yesterday; he keeps on getting the voicemail whenever he tried to call the girl which is unusual to him. Arrived at his hometown, the boy tried to look for the girl around the town where they always spend their day... but she wasn’t there. He went to the girl’s house to see whether she was at home. Once again he was disappointed when he found out that there was nobody around. A week had past, there is still no news from the girl... the boy had to pack all his belonging before departing to the institute a day before. He packed it with a heavy reluctant heart. As if there is no reason for him to return to the institute...He was in despair...


Finally, the day has come for him to return back to the institute. His father sent him to the wharf. When he enters the express boat’s door, he met his old classmate since primary school inside. Coincidently, he was the girl’s cousin. The boy asked about the girl and he said: “Yes I know about that. Her family had moved to _________. His father was transferred there for a multi-national company.” The boy’s heart sank when he heard that news. “She tried to call you that night to tell you about it, unfortunately the next day she lost her handphone at the town.” No wonder the boy thought to himself...but...why now?


Few weeks later at the institute, the boy received a long text message on his handphone from an foreign unknown number... it say:

“It’s such a heavy heart for me to part from you ...but I had to follow dad and mom to (oversea)...for your information dad got promoted into Senior Operation Executive but he’ll be here for a long term. I don’t know when we’ll meet again... That night I tried to tell you but you didn’t answer it until I realized my hp ran out of battery, sorry I forgot to replace it with the new one... but I know that you’re busy with the orientation thingy. The next day my hp was lost, I don’t know where I misplaced it after having my breakfast with mom...

I can’t see that whether we can continue this relationship anymore... I know that it’s difficult for me to make this decision... You’re right we should be friend in the first place...

Sorry, it was me who started to fall in love with you and asked you accept me. Even hesitated, you accepted me into your life and give me the chances to know the real you. I know it’s hard for you to accept it even for me. Thank you for accepting me as a special person in your heart. Hope that you’ll meet a better person and become a good teacher. Nice person always get a happy ending and never gave up, just like you always said... I’ll always remember that budak baik”

Calmly, the boy answered it in short message:

“Thank you for painting my heart. I’ll be okay don’t worry. Take care and never give up though gonna’ miss you.”

That was the last sms he ever sent to her. Probably the boy accepted the facts that there is something in life that comes and goes whether we realized it or not because it’s only a matter of time for us to admit it and the boy accepts that luck is not in his side once more, life has to move on for the boy and he has to learn how to play tennis next semester break. Somehow he even questions himself whether he deserves all this because of his past... time is running out for the boy as he counts... Anyway I don’t really like to tell a sad ending... that’s all for now.
