they were the people i treasured the most and yet they still failed me.
no wonder they say that no man is perfect.
i waited for over an hour pacing back and forth.
"i'll be there at 1410."
the statement kept racing at the back of my mind.
the clock ticked and time passed but he never turned up.
"seeyou at 1420!" said another.
they were two people who i thought would never be late.
i called but all i heard were the noises of vehicles rushing by.
i comforted myself by saying "yes, she's on the way. she would be here anytime."
then i tried to recall his number.
but 968... was all that i could remember.
i paced up and down, from the mrt to the shop.
back and forth, dragging my sis along with me.
my sis started complaining about the heat as she dragged the heavy bag on her shoulders.
i felt really bad but i remembered and said to her
"she's coming soon!"
so we rushed back to the mrt.
but thinking "what could have happened to him...."
we hurried back to the shop.
the uncle at the shop looked at me and said
"girl.. you wait so long already. i think your friend wont come la"
but i stubbornly insisted that they will.
the uncle looked at me with disbelief.
finally it was 1500.
half an hour since i heard the sound of the vehicles.
"what could be keeping her?" i thought to myself.
so i called and to my disbelief...
the uncle was right!
then she finally came at 1510.
she: we are the biggest victims of this entire miscommunication la.
me: yar la. they freaking got no heart or something.
she: yes, they being so near could have come down to get you or something but they left it to me?
i thought to myself: is she complaining?
she: he easily could have came down la. he owns a car and stays so near the shop but instead he made this sweeping statement saying "lucky pamela informed me just as i was about to leave the house."
i thought: wahh. creeep.
she: and your bro doesnt wanna get you.
i thought: MY BROTHER? gosh. what kind of shit brother is that? to think we were talking about the love of christ just the night before? to think he actually dared to bring up having once pulled me away from the road as a car rushed by? maybe it's just because it was kind of convenient... -i was freaking disappointed la.
then i thought: if the tables were turned and he were waiting, would i go? i answered my own qns with a definite yes. man, i was truly upset.
and guess what we are all christians..
i certainly hope they had their reasons..
