My first (puppy?) love


OK, there is this one story that I wanted to blog about, sort of 'brought up' by our recent trip to PD. Some of my close friends know about this already..

I went dating for the first time in my life when I was 13. I knew him since I was in primary 6! We went to different secondary school, while he went to Sabah College, I went to SMK Menggatal. But we kept in touch through telephone and we would meet up and hang out on weekends.

Most of the time, we would just hang out at his parents house and his parent would send me home after they got back from work. His parents knew my parents, so dating him wasn't a problem.

I got close with his school friends too, one in particular named Nor who used to stay over-night at my place.

We used to call him 'Boy' (a very popular nickname back then). He was my very first kiss, my very first love, puppy or not.. And we were carefree and happy...

However, one day he called me... Instead of talking nonsense lovey dovey stuffs, he said we should break up because we should be focusing on our SRP exam. I was heartbroken but because I think there was truth to his excuse for breaking up, I took it with open but still broken heart.

And then, I went out with some of our friends after that phone call. I remember we met up at this ice cream place at Kompleks Karamunsing... And then one friend said how could Boy broke it up with me over Nor, my friend.. I was surprised, I didn't know that the two had been double timing me.. And he chose her over me... My heart broke again...

A few months after that, I heard from a friend that Nor got pregnant and didn't know what to do with it since he was leaving with his family to America. Talk about Karma!

I haven't seen him again after that until recently, when we were in PD. Someone very familiar-looking opened the door to the restaurant. I glanced at his name tag, and I sort of suspected who he was. He pulled the chair for me to sit, when I asked him if he was 'him'.. He said yes and we hugged, it has been a loooong time I said and you broke my heart.. and we laughed about it. I of course introduced him to Bo. He was very professional though, but his colleague took over the servicing.

After all that happened many many years ago, he reappeared as my waiter? Talk about Karma vol. 2!

As George Herbert put it: Living well is the best revenge!

Of course revenge was never my intention.. It's just Karma at work...

Awww what happened to Nor and the baby? Poor thing. Back in the young and dangerous season... kinda missed a lot of things back then... haha

He even went to America and come back as a waiter? I dont mean to be disrespect but I have high expectation for people that went to oversea XD

@Carol - I will tagih the story nanti, the karma was sweet.. right?

@Daniel C - Not sure what happened to nor and the baby.. Never tried getting in touch with her after I found out what she did with him.. On the "went to USA and came back as waiter" comment, Bo (my botak husband) had the same impression. He didn't go to USA for study, just to follow his family, I think it was his father who went to further study.

@Dan - I should have!! Shouldn't I? That would be like the cherry on top! LOL! But that would be mean!

Gosh! Mi, that sounds exactly like in the movie...had it been me, i wouldn't quite sure on how to act around someone who'd broke my heart and suddenly re-appeared as my waiter!
