Fiancé
I
had a fiancé. It was a different feeling especially when you introduced to your
relatives or friends. “This is my fiancé.” Our lives had changed. No more
sneaking around. Even If I wanted to accompany her to her ‘kampung’, my parents
would allow me to do so. If there were any family gathering like a wedding
reception, or a ‘doa selamat’ anywhere, I am allowed to bring her along.
It
is true what they said about being engaged, we were challenged and tested. As
in my previous chapter, (if u all read it) we were working at the same office.
She was the receptionist and I was an assistant account clerk. Someone in the office, my own colleague had
fall in love with my beloved fiancé.
Can
anybody imagine how it felt like? I was his friend. He knows that I was engaged
to this lovely beautiful woman. Still he dared and tried to take her away from
me under my nose. At first I thought he was only wanted to become good friends
with her, I don’t mind if that was his only agenda. I trust my fiancé. She told
me everything, even when he called her in the middle of the night.
At this point in time
we always quarrel, even a tiniest mistake we always end up upsetting each
other. I guessed I owed it to her for the lasting relationship. She tolerates
my hot tempered behavior. I guess I owed to her for being a better man.
She went to Perth at
the middle of ’98. She went and stayed with her uncle for two weeks. She told
me that she wanted to take a long holiday before she became my wife, and when
she was there I called her almost everyday.
When she came back she
was better than before. Getting away from me was good for her. She knew that
she made the right decision marrying me. I know you guys think that she already
decided to marry me long time ago, but as the saying, ‘cold feet’ means, she need
to get her priority straight. When she was away she too missed me a lot and she
knew that she could not live without me, and neither could I. I am not being modest, and not exaggerate,
but this was the truth, a fact that all my friends and families can vouch me
for it.
The challenge being
engaged doesn’t stop on relationship with each other, but more than that. Until
now I wasn’t sure how we put it through. Our wedding was not normal, and that
my dearest readers are on the next chapter.
