The next morning, even with the sleepless night before, I was still look fresh and bright. I suited up myself nicely with a brand new shirt bought two weeks ago, gel my hair nicely in a "Aaron Kwok" style and went off to work with a glow on my face. I was eager in anticipation... in fact, I could feel the confidence gathering in my stride as I walk. With every gush of wind along Shenton Way, my confidence grew. I could sense "Victory" in my way!
I worked through the whole morning with great joy in me. I believe I could have easily won the best employee for the day award! I was looking forward to lunchtime, where I would get to meet my friends, and assumingly if nothing goes wrong - my new girlfriend too! 1:00PM, and it's lunchtime! I rushed to the restroom, combed up my hair neatly and confidently stroded down to meet my friends for lunch. And there she was, with her usual big bright eyes accompanied by the long flowy hair. My heart was beating faster now... *thump thump thump*
As we were chatting in the group and discussing where to go for lunch, I noticed a moment where she was alone. So I sheepishly sneaked up next to her to talk to her, asking if she had read my little letter to her. Her reply to me was.....
"Yup, I read your letter. Thank you. But actually I like someone else already."
*Sound of glass shattering into ten thousand pieces*
On the outside, I maintained my poise, said an OK and walked away. Deep inside me, I was totally shattered. Unspeakable. I felt as if my heart just shattered onto the floor into millions of pieces and being trampled upon.
Head bowed down, I quietly walked away from my group of friends. Nobody noticed that I had left. It didn't matter to me anymore, I just wanted to be alone. Rejected and lonely, I walked towards the Singapore River..... (to be continued)
