You jump.i jump(part 3)
“I came up here to jump.
I couldn’t believe what I just heard.
She was up here for the same reason as me?
……..
God.You have gotta be so kidding me right?
……..
Yet.Like an orchestra performing without it’s conductor.
Her words echoed through my brain again and again.
Bringing my brain into a state of chaos and confusion.
That I have never experienced before.
However.The amusing irony of the situation soon hit me.
And it hit me hard.Like a sledgehammer.
Without any warning.I started laughing all of a sudden.
With the laughing only worsening as time went on.
And all this while.She was staring at me with a most shocked and surprised expression.
Who can blame her.
There she was.Sharing her similar predicament with me.
Yet here I was.Laughing my head off.
But again.Who can blame me?!?
……..
Luckily though.She soon saw the amusing side to the whole affair.
And began laughing uncontrollably together.
So there we were.Sitting at the rooftop of a HDB block 2 am in the morning..
Laughing like a bunch of lunatics.
And to think that just barely 5 mins ago.
I was on the verge of death itself.
Talk about irony.
………
Unbelivably.The laughing lasted for a good whole 5 mins.
But eventually.We got tired and our laughter subsided.
What followed was a period of silence which was actually very brief.But yet seemed to last almost like forever.
……..
Finally.
I couldn’t stand the silence anymore.
Anymore and I swear I would go crazy and jump right off the building.
Which actually wasn’t so bad since that was exactly what I originally came here to do.
“So what happened.Why did you end up here like me?Relationship problems?Or is it your studies?”
Woah.Dejavu.
These words sounded really familiar.
Weren’t those my exact thoughts earlier in the night?No wonder they sounded so familia-
“He left me for someone else.”She broke out all of a sudden.
……..
So she was in the same boat as me.Same reason even.
Indeed.How ironic a situation can one land him or herself in such as this.
“It was very sudden.Until now.I still do not understand why and how it happened.Just 2 weeks ago.We were still going out happily together.In fact.I still remembered we went for dinner at Taka's Seoul Garden.After which we went shopping.He even bought me a Swarovski Crystal Cat cause he knew I really liked cats and crystal.See?"
She started reaching for something in her pocket and eventually came up with a really cute and sweet looking cat made of crystal with ruby red eyes.With which I just stared at it quietly and said nothing.Cause I knew she wasn't finished.
And indeed.She wasn't.
"I was so happy that he bought this for me that for a few days I couldn't stop smiling and showing if off to my girl friends at school.And they all thought I was such a lucky to have such a caring and loving boyfriend.Which I had the exact same sentiments.But then all of a sudden.He called me up last week and said that he felt that the 2 of us wasn't suitable and shouldn't be together anymore.And with that.He hung up.And from then on hasn't answered any of my calls and smses.Within a few days.He even changed his handphone number...."
At this point.I noticed that tears were flowing down her cheeks.
She won't be able to take it much longer I thought.She's definitely gonna start crying.Anytime now.
And boy was I right.
She began sobbing uncontrollably.
Oh no.Please don't.My greatest phobia in life is to see girls cry.
I really dunno waht to do when girls start crying.
Especially at a time like this.What am I gonna do?
God.How did I get myself into something like this?
Why of all days did I choose today to come up and jump?
And just so happen she came here for the same reason.
And even because of the same reason.
God.You must be so kidding me ma-
And then suddenly.Time stood still.
"I know..sob..I know that..I have barely known you for like 5 mins and so shouldn't be doing this.Sob..But I really..I really need..sob..some..someone's shoulders to cry on for just a while.I really can't stand this any longer.Sob..sob..How can he do this to me??A 3 year relationship.And then suddenlly overnight he can just leave me for someone else.Are our relationsip worth nothing to him?I fact.Did he even love me at all these 3 years?Oh..how i wish..sob..how I wish that I haven't gone back to the Swarovski Shop we went that day hoping to see him there again.Then at least I won't have seen him with...with her!...Sob..I'm so sorry..I 'm so so sorry.."
Looking at her long hair which half covered the back of her shivering form.
While she buried her head in my shoulders and cried uncontrollably.
Feelings of pity and sadness suddenly welled up so strongly up in me.
That I myself came close to tears.
I mean.Who would bear to break the heart of such a nice and sweet girl?
And how ironic that I was in the exact same predicament as her.
........
How sad and ironic.
For 2 people whose loved ones have just left them for someone else..
To end up spending the last few moments of their lives with one another..rather than their loved ones..
What kind of a joke is fate playing on these 2 people?
........
Unable to bring myself to pull the poor soul away from my shoulder..
And on being the verge of tears myself..
I managed only to get these few words out..
"It..it's alright..I understand......I really do.."
