[26 Feb]
I told you I had something to tell you.
1920: arrived at Bishan. Drew $20 but stupid ATM only can dispense $50. Fine lorh. Scouted around the area for a place to eat. Pastamania, LJS, Subway. Visited the basement and made a round there too, and there wasn't much to do and see there. Turned my 3G off because it was killing my battery.
1942: outside the mixed grill place on level two. Turned my 3G back on in case got important people message me. Turns out, have!! Hahaha.
"What are we eating? Hungry girl is grumpy. HAHAHAHA"
"Thai express. The orange elephant one."
"HAHAHAHA omg I like Thai food. Nice okay hahahahaha"
"Yeahhhh ✌️✌"
Heading in, I chose a table for eight but with only two other people at the far end of the table. I sat down facing the entrance so I'd be easily spotted. My phone kept vibrating with the many group chats from work. It was getting annoying so I kept it face down so I couldn't be distracted.
2004: you said that you're walking in now, so I thought I'd see you within the next ten seconds BUT NO. Anyway you came in in the next minute or so? I was replying army messages (I admit) then I saw someone walking towards me from the corner of my eye. I finished sending the messages and looked to see who it could be.
Lo and behold!! Princess arrive liao. I thiiiiink she was trying to surprise me from behind (irdk) but if you were, I'm sorry!! Hahaha. Sitting down on the sofa seat, you asked me what I was eating. I had decided already. It was the wonderful yellow garlic chicken!! I was feeling adventurous at that time and so I decided to go ahead with the spicy spicy chilli. You had your pineapple rice (it looks so nice) and then there was the clear Tom yam soup (which undoubtedly saved my burning mouth so many times). I ate the cashew nuts that was on your plate, and along the meal you gave me some shrimps and mushroom to eat (I hope you liked the chicken I shared with you HAHAHAHA). Thank goodness you're not saliva conscious though!!
It was a cold cold day for you, so I figured that taking our mango rice out would be the best idea. While waiting for the mango rice to be packed, we played psyched together with your friends. I moved over to sit beside you *wink wink* ahhaha. That was so fun hahaha and we managed to psyched your friends!! Fun sia!! When the mango rice came, I paid the bill then we left.
You thought it was the end of the night, didn't you! Hahaha well NOPE!!! I brought you out to the bus interchange and looked for the buses. You said that one of the buses would bring you back home, and so it was decided!! We went to the berth and waited for the bus to pull up and so we resumed our psych session ahhaha.
We boarded the bus when it arrived and sat beside the window. I hadn't a clear idea of where we were going but she said "where are we going?" "Nooooo not telling you" and she was like "do you know where to stop?" And haha honestly NOPE because it's my first time going but I said "I'll know when I reach!!" So yeah. She looked over my screen discreetly and saw that we were going to Bishan park hahaha so much for the secrecy.
"Are we going to Bishan park"
"Wah how you know!! You see my screen ah"
"No lah I never. I had the idea that we're going there."
"Ehhhhh..."
"Haha yeah because I always go there for my running last time"
"Oooooohhhhhh....haha yeah lah we're going there..."
We alighted, only to find that it was raining. Sam Sam came prepared because he had his umbrella with him!! Sam Sam took it out and held it open for rach rach. We walked, rounds and rounds, over and up the bridges. We sat down at a small pavilion near the HDB, and ate our mango rice there.
I took out the gift that I got for you from my bag. I hope you like it :) perhaps we could get something more fitting for the two of us :P well. I still need to look for something special.
It was soon time to go. You needed to go back home, I needed to go back to camp. I still wanted to tell you that something, but I couldn't find a way to bring it up properly. There were moments of silence here and there that I thought I could use to tell you what I had in my mind, but it all seemed so inappropriate, for some reason. It was only until you asked me "so what was it that you wanna tell me" that I had no choice but to say it out.
It took me so long to mention it at all. I delayed a bit here and there, because I didn't have the guts to say it. After a minute or so, I knew that I had to do it. Do or die.
By this time, it felt so much like a dream. It felt like there wasn't a care in the world that could destroy this moment. It was bliss, perfect tranquility, sweet serenity. The way you reacted got me worried. I thought that for some reason, I had done something wrong, said something weird, or just landed myself in the friendzone. It was a mix of everything, and so I was confused and worried so much. I couldn't wrap my mind around the situation, and neither could I see what's going on in that mind of yours.
Occasionally, our hands would touch, and I'd hold yours for a while, only for it to slip out moments later. I tried to remain calm, composed, and chill. Eventually, I found out that you shared the same feelings for me too. Yayyyy!! Hahaha happiest day!!!
You were so shy, you couldn't even look me in the eyes. (Cuteness alert). By now we were at the bus stop, waiting for the bus.
"So do you wanna date me?"
Yeahhh I should have been the one asking but it's alright I guess!!
In my usual shy self (you wouldn't believe how shy I was), I said "yeahhh, that would be nice" HAHAHAHAHA WHAT A FAIL XD but yesssss that's what I said AHHAHAHA.
We talked about the future. It is a challenge, but I'm sure we'll figure something out together. I mean, I'm kiiiiiiiinda good at that, so don't worry!! We will work something out :) all you gotta do is trust me ^^
We changed the topic, but someone asked me to send her home. HEHEHEHE JACKPOT!!!! We stood at the standing part of the bus, hand in hand, and it was perfect.
Just, simply, perfect.
If only the bus would keep driving, without making any stops, without time passing by, without any passengers but us, so I could hold your hand forever.
That would make me so happy.
You introduced to you area, your school, and pointed out to me your block. We kept an eye out for people you know, for people I know, all while keeping our laced hands hidden from view.
Your stop eventually came, so we alighted, and I walked you off for a distance. We shared a goodbye hug, and it felt like heaven being in your embrace.
Sigh. What did I do to be so lucky.
I watched you walk off into the distance, back up into your block. I crossed the road and followed your instructions, taking the bus that would take me back to the mrt station. Through the whole journey back, you were there with me every step of the way. I loved it.
That night, I felt so complete.
It was like as if I had died and lived again.
Indescribable bliss. Pure pure bliss.
2334: stepped back into camp, got prank checked by Dedrick, my ex-trainee who is now a sergeant back in the camp. We talked for a bit, but soon after I had to get back to my girlfriend. I wished him goodnight, and reunited with her.
======================
Great, great day.
