Love is a funny thing isn’t it… It can be sweet yet painful at times.
Today, or rather tonight, I was sitting with Rafiqa, whom I have known for 2 years now. He’s my best Malay friend at the current moment and I doubt I’ll see other Malays as friendly as him.
Anyway the point is, I’ve been with him throughout his whole love life. From talking about hot Chinese girls last year, trying to help him communicate with them by teaching him a bit of Chinese to helping him think of what to say to a girl.
Well all those plan failed. Every single one of them.
This year, the year 2008, the year we turn 17 and are finally able to drink alcohol, he managed to get a girl. A girl younger by a year. Her name was Honey. I am not going to disclose her name, so I’ll nickname her as Honey. So for many months, they’ve been together, smsing everyday including tuition night. Lepak-ing during school hours. Spending a lot of time together with each other.
We were all happy for him. Always teasing him and making a fool out of him. We never met the girl, but I’m the only one who’s managed to see how she looks like from the pictures.
There was once when they got real close, that Honey’s family knew bout Rafiqa and wanted to see him. I was at The Curve when it happened, supporting him by smsing him. It wouldn’t be nice to interrupt, of course…
Throughout the whole sweet puppy love, there were laughters and joy. They really enjoyed every single moment. So did we. Haha..
But it all ended tonight. Honey gave a weird funny reason for breaking up with Rafiqa on Monday. Rafiqa emo-ed all night. But he could still make jokes, only less than before. Honey’s reason was like bored of seeing him. Asking that they discuss their relationship after SPM. And of course, any guy would get mad. If you really like each other… Does it matter?
She sms-ed a lot of sorry messages. I know, cause I have full access to Rafiqa’s phone. Which includes reading messages from the inbox. He tells me everything. Saying sorry and I really miss you after breaking up is not the suitable thing. It will make the other person hate you. I just can’t understand girls, why break up suddenly when you’re deeply in love? Why crush a guy so badly? The break-up sms that I read, it will make anyone mad. Really. Now he’s sad and upset. Mostly fed-up. I can’t see why break-up after going through hell, avoiding teachers, family meet-ups, and all the stuff which could jeopardize their relationship.
Seeing him like that, I don’t think I want to be like him. I’ll prefer to stay as a bachelor for now.
I have not found the chance to know her yet. And until my desire for knowing her does not involve any feelings of admiration, only then I’ll take the chance to know her.
I miss her.
I dun find visiting toilets veli cool, Khai Sim...
