such a mood is coming over me
there is moodiness in everything i see.
that's life for me for the past few days.
anyway, on the topic of love.
before that, yesterday was one of the days i used an umbrella. the rain was too heavy for me to run 200 metres to an overhead bridge, crossed it, then run another 200 metres to reach the bus stop. lucky the office has one.
okay, yesterday i guessed was the finale of one of the chinese shows. hmm.. those short storys one, not the 7-8, 9-10 drama serials. i would say a nice love story with a not-so-happy, happy ending.
it started out 7 years ago, the guy and the girl were childhood friends. grew up, fell in love with each other. he had a date with the girl and planned to propose to her. she didn't show up. her family was missing. absolutely no news of her.
7 years later, he hired a PI to check her whereabouts. he told the guy, she met with a car accident and died. he was devastated. he didn't care about his restaurant and even planned to close it. one day on the streets, he saw a girl who looked exactly like her, rushed up to her, but she denied she was the girl. "you have found the wrong person".
his bro, in an attempt to encourage his bro, approached the girl and asked her to pretend to be the dead girl, and tell his bro to move on. the girl was already married to a neurologist and a mother of a 7-year-old. she agreed.
she visited his restuarant. he was delighted. he commented that she still wears the same perfume as before, and still like egg fried rice, kinda like his specialty. the girl kept asking him to move on, saying she's married, a mother, and all is in the past now. he wasn't ready to give up just yet. nevertheless, the girl left with her daughter when the husband came. he was again, confused. "why?" he asked.
his bro finally revealed that the girl isnt really his love. it's just someone who looked like her. he couldn't believe it. the same perfume, the same egg fried rice preference, the same face, the same voice. he went to approach the husband.
the confront btw the guys end up in an sort of angry way. he said "i won't give up", the husband said "don't kajiao her", or something like that, can't remember. "she's not your old love."
out of a sudden, husband decided to cut short his family stay in singapore and move back to US. the girl found it weird while the daughter was whining away about staying in singapore. just as they were about to leave the hotel, the guy confronted them again.
"please don't fake it" he pleaded the girl. the husband was getting pretty upset and anxious. that's when the girl told the husband she's not leaving sg till the whole thing clears up. he, being in a rush to go back to us and upset abt the guy, and he being all so certain about his old love. the husband finally comply and had a solo chat with the guy.
the truth came out. the girl was his love, but she doesn't rmb him. she had a car accident 7 years ago, probably on the way to meeting him during the date when he wanted to propose. she was in coma, and treated by her current husband. miracously, she woke up at the 56th day, but didn't rmb a single thing. even her name. he told her he was her boyfriend, got together, and married after one year.
the husband told the truth on one condition, that the guy will keep it a secret, and not ruined the current happiness. be it selfish and cruel to both him and her.
after knowing the truth, the guy was ~ (a representation of feeling becuz i have no word for it). he apologized to the girl who still know nothing abt the truth, saying he got the wrong person. then he left.
having the things settled, the husband decided to let the family stay one more day. and in request to her daughter's crave for the guy's egg fried rice, they planned to have dinner at his restaurant.
dinner came, the husband deliberately didn't show up to let the guy spent some time with the girl. (i was kinda touched by this selfish bastard's actions)
during the dinner conversation, the daughter told him that she was 7 years old. now if you put it in chronological order, it was just nice 7 years ago that she had that car accident. she got married only 1 year after that. so now, it turned out to be more than just a reunion of old love. then came the stupid background music and showing the guy with teary eyes, and the husband smiling outside the restaurant, having a big enough heart to let the actual family have a final dinner together.
the end.
love. don't you feel the wonder in it? and yet can't deny that sometimes, it brings out the most cruel side of destiny. you have to let go when things have turn out this way, to not break the current state of happiness.
快乐的一刻, 胜过永恒的难过
how true is this phrase to you?
a moment of happiness overwhelms even the eternity of sadness.
every story has its ending.
my story has just ended.
