Title: A sad story - The Sweetness Part 2

Today is 3/12/2005. As usual it is will be story time. Due to my busyness, I only managed to write this much. I will continue again next month. I need more ideas, more comments from you guys. Thank :)

They were sort of lost at Pasir Ris Park. They just walked and walked towards a direction. They were walking very slowly as the floor was wet. Finally they reached the park. Jane was asking John whether he got to the maze at the park before. John replied “No”. And John was quite curious and asking Jane to bring him to that place. Jane agreed and they were walking there. They were at another side of the park and had to walk quite a long distance. They never looked tired at all. Neither one of them complained, they just walked and talked at the same time.

As they walked along the path way, John was like walking towards the grass patch, and Jane was like asking John, how come you walked so far away from me? Are you scared of me? John was shy but because he did not want to show his shyness to Jane, he quickly walked closely with Jane. Finally they reached place but Jane said her legs were tired and she sat at the nearby bench instead of going into the maze with John. John was like thinking, we were already outside and you did not want to go in. It was only a few steps away. He asked Jane again, she said she was tired and let her rest a while.

John was just determined to get in now so he told Jane, give him her hand and he will hold her hand in. John stretched out his hand, waiting for Jane’s hand. Jane stretched her hand out but they failed to hold each other hands as they were at a distance. John put down his hand and so did Jane. John asked Jane to go in again, Jane said “No”. John walked up closely to Jane and held her hand. John was like dragging her. This will be the first time John held a girl’s hand. But it wasn’t the first time Jane held a guy hand. They just walked in together.

They reached the place very fast. What a maze? John was not amused with it at all. It took little efforts and they can get in so easily. It was like no kick at all. When they reached inside, John let off the hand. Nothing is interesting inside. There is a lamp pole with lots of drawings and writings. Both John and Jane did not have a pen or a marker with them so they are unable to write anything at there. So now it is time to get out of the maze. Guess what John asked Jane? Below will be their short conservation:

John: There aren’t many things to see here.
Jane: Ya lo. But there is a lamp pole for people to write name.
John: There isn’t anything to see, let’s get out of here?
Jane: Okay lo.
John: Did you still want me to hold your hand?
Jane: Anything lo.

Once again John got the opportunity again to hold Jane’s hand. After they walked out of the maze, John was still holding her hand and they just walked to another place. As they were walking, both of them were talking and Jane asked John a question. “How do you feel holding my hand?” asked Jane. John answered:“ hm, happy? Actually also not much feelings, then how about you?” “Same as you” replied by Jane. Jane told John that this was the first time a guy held her hand. The feeling is just so great, unique, special, something that Jane cannot be able to say how he felt.

They just knew each other for less than few months and this is their second or third time going out and they act as if they were a couple. John do feel like they were together but he didn’t open up his mouth to ask Jane to be his girlfriend. He is just to shy to say it to Jane. So John asked Jane a question, “What if someone asked about us, then I told them we are together?” Jane just smiled at John and did not actually answer him anything. And John treats it as a “Yes” from her. He felt happy. He is finally wanted by a girl. He just can’t believe he is so fortunate to have a girlfriend. They spent some time walking around the park and John sent Jane home. Before John sent Jane home, they had dinner together at Jane’s house nearby market.

They ordered a plate of fried noodles and a plate of hokkien mee. They enjoyed eating with each other and they fed each other with the food. Jane was finding John a sweet guy to feed her his food. She felt that John was really a nice guy and great knowing him. After that, John made the efforts to sent Jane back to his house downstairs before he went off. Jane was like thinking it was hard to find such a good guy and making her so happy. This couple started to like each other even more. They just like to know more about each others, spend more time with each other.

John finally reached home, he doesn’t feel any troubles taking the efforts to see Jane home at all, he just willing and happily to do it. It was about 8+pm that day, John was like hesitating whether to give Jane a call. He is just so indecisive. He did not know what to say when he called her, but he just want to hear her voice. John was just feeling so frustrated as he does not know what to do. He was thinking to himself whether Jane had fall asleep since they had a long day today. It cannot be as it is still early. So John made a decision. Guess what he decided?

Jane was feeling happy and felt that John was like the nicest guy she ever came across. She told her sister how she spent her day and talked about John to her. Image of John keep flashing in her mind, she just cannot stop thinking of John. She knew she was in love. After talking finished with her sister, she went on to do her stuffs. And what was John doing? What have he decided? John took his phone and his hand. He started the “Stop watch” time, he looked away and after a couple of seconds, he stopped the time. He said to himself, if the time taken is in even number, he will call if not then forget about it.

He looked at the time taken, it was 00:00:26.48. Is it really a coincidence? All are even numbers and is it really fated for him to call? He picked up his house phone and slowly pressed the numbers 1 by 1. The phone ring and a girl picked up the phone. It was Jane’s sister and finally Jane came to the call. Below will be the front part of the conversation:

*ringRingring~

John: Hello
Jane’s sister: Hello
John: May I speak to Jane?
Jane’s sister: Wait on. (shouted Jane)
Jane: hello
John: hello. Know who am I?
Jane: hm... John?
John: Ya. I called to talk to you, are you busy?
Jane: of course not.
John: Was that your sister just now?
Jane: Ya, why?
John: Her voice sounds like yours.
Jane: Is it?
John: You only have a sister?
Jane: Ya and a little brother.
John: Oh I see.

The conversation went on for more than half an hour. They talked about themselves and also their family members and many more. John felt satisfied after putting down the phone. He was still feeling a bit nervous. At some point of time during the conservation, John did talk much and Jane was the one talking and John just added on. Jane was feeling surprised that John would actually call and talk to her. The call from John made her even happier and she is going to have a good sleep that night. Jane wrote down in her journal on the things she did today. It was just a wonderful day for her.

As usual the next day, both still need to go school. Their relationship got even closer during school times as they often meet up together to go out after school. Jane wrote a short letter for John. It is sort of love letter. Everyday, John will receive a letter/note from Jane without fail. After 1 week they got together, John decided to write something to Jane too. He passed the short note to her in school that day and her friends managed to get it from her and read it out. The whole class of hers got to know the contents of John’s letter to Jane.

Below will be the content of the letter:

Hi Jane,
It has been a week that we have got together. I really appreciated having you by my side. I enjoyed being with you and I love you.
From John

This will be the 1st letter Jane got from John and she felt extremely touched by John. Jane told John about the incident that everyone in her class got to read his letter, John was like feeling embarrassed and asked why she showed to her class? Jane explained it was not her fault, her friends just snatched away from her. John never blamed Jane, he just forgot about it since it had already happened. Now everyone knows they were together. Both were like sweet and innocent couple. Both continued to take the efforts to write something for each other. Jane find that John can really write letter as whenever Jane read what John wrote for her, she were just feeling amusing and happy. Jane always smiled sweetly after reading what John had written for her.
