Yesterday's August 17th, 2011. A public holiday. And as a mere holiday I woke up so late, the sunlight almost burning my eyes when I opened the window.
I expected nothing on that day. What would you expected to be happen on a holiday like that? It's just a common independence day that would end up me watching over the ceremony on TV. Boring. Like always. So I started doing the houseworks. And one by one the magic happenned.
My friend Dibya Bernie texted me, 'Air Asia got a promotion to India'. What the heck! I've been longing to that country for so long but due to the high price ticket I have to keep my wanderlust deep inside. And after a brief discussion with my boyfriend so here they are two tickets KL - Delhi and return. With my BF said, 'I'll make it 3 months instalment' it is indeed a independence gift for me. Thank you @sukeren and @DibyaBernie.
Later on I was heading to Jakarta to pick up the air con I bought from my best friend garage sale. She's on a process of a divorce with current husband so she needs to clean up all the stuff from their rent house before getting back to her parents in Roxy. First I wasn't so sure about the AC condition n power supply. But here it is.. An aircon in nice condition. It has no latest technology but the feature and power supply suit my need. Such value for money indeed. I'm glad. Thank you, Ri'I.
The magic still works in such a speed when suddenly we found out through a phone call to Ri'i's husband made by one of her friend that he left her for another woman. She tried to be strong but still, the teardrops running out of her eyes. She cried. And my eyes opened. A marriage is a commitment. And it takes a real good deed from within to keep a commitment works because there are so many temptations in this world. Beauty of a woman, the wisdom of a man, power, money, sex even the need for an adrenaline rush adventure.. Name it.
My heart aching, and I'm chilling. Can we make this marriage works? Can I make it? I have no guarantee. I know my heart would break apart if one day he'll cheat on me. And I'm afraid. So afraid to be hurt. But I want to live my life with him. Should I drop this opportunities to work another level of life adventure because of a fear? But isn't it better to fail after trying the best than do nothing and regret it?
I saw my man packing the aircon n put it into cab. We said goodbye to my dearest friend and went home. I already got the answer.
It's August 17, 2011.. a day worth remembering.
