Season 3 Episode 9: The Valentine's Day  

Posted by Solid Jack in

Valentine's Day, or shall we call it, the day of the lovers. Back in Malaysia, I couldn't give a rat's ass regarding V-Day, and here in UK, nothing has changed. However, due to the massive celebration over here, I tend to get a little bit depress. Here is a story of the state of depression.

I thought last year's Valentines Day was bad, but this year takes the cake as the worst Valentines ever. Last year, I've invited the girl that I liked to dinner on V-Day, but she canceled on me last minute hence leading me to have my V-Dinner with my room mate. This year, I am all alone.

There I was, walking along the embassy road, all alone. Normally, Ay08 would accompany me during these walks. But after what happened between us, I would not be expecting us to go on walks anytime soon. And here I am, paying the price on doing the right thing. How do you know whether what you did was the right thing? Easy, the right thing always ends you up in a shittier state.

As I was walking down the long quiet road, the conversation with Ay08 from that day kept playing over and over again in my head. It is like a freaking tape recorder.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and Ay08 is on the other end.
"Jack, where are you?"
I was unsure whether to tell her the truth.
"I am at the university. What's up?" A blatant lie obviously.
"Ohh, ermm...are you free tomorrow, want to do something together?"
Basically, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. What is Ay08 thinking? What should I say? Does she still like me? I stood up from the bench thinking of my reply.
"I must do what must be done. I must do the right thing."

"Sorry Ay08, I can't. I have to do some work this Valentine's Day," I said to her with great resolute despite the fact that my heart was full of uncertainties.
"Oh, okay Jack...guess we'll hang out some other time," she said disappointingly. I was moved when I heard her tone. My adamant will was pliant. Deep down inside of my heart, I wanted to say yes. However, the right thing for me to do was to reject her offer as this would spare me all the pain and suffering that I am to experience if I were to travel this path once again.

And that's how I ended up this way.The way that I have always been. My phone rang and surprisingly, it was Ay08.
"Hi Jack, where are you?", she asked as usual.
"On the way back. What's up?"
"I have a very bad news....", she said in a serious tone.
"What is it?", I asked in concern.
Deep down in my heart, I was hoping that she had broken up on Valentine's Day. I mean, what else would happen on Valentine's Day, right? However, sadly, I was far from right.
