Juz heard Tis oVeR e radio in e mornin... thought i shld share it... :)
It was written by a girl named: Ah Xiang.
I haf a good fren called Ah Wei... We haf known each other since back in primary school. He has always been there for me. Often asking if I haf eaten, if not he'll buy sumthing 4 me. If my basketball competition is nearin, he would company me, help train my skills, etc etc.... These things tat he's doing often lead me to think he was trying to prove sumthing..... to be more than frens....
Then the day comes.... my birthday.... he din appear for my party...nor did he sent me any sms... I was feeling sad.... no matter wat....we r frens for so long.... cant be tat he forgot abt my birthday??!!
As I was heading home aft e party....i realised it was pouring outside n I din bring my umbrella... Juz den I saw a shadow approachin me... it was him... it was Ah Wei. He came aft all......
He walked up to me and wished me 'Happy Birthday' n said there's sumthing he's got to say.... I was all excited.... was he goin to say it... is he gonna admit tat he too haf feelings for me....!!! He den revealed a package from behind him and said... "It is for U... sumthing especially made for U. U've got to open it at home... I've put in alot of effort to make tis n I reali do mean it frm the bottom of my heart.
When I was back home... Boy was I depressed.... Wondering why couldn't he juz said he liked me... wat's wif tis present tat he juz gave me.... Does he reali juz treat me as a fren.. Have I reali made a mistake all tis while....?? Den I opened up e present, thinking maybe he has a confession inside... maybe I could get my answer thur the present.... but when I open up the present.... there was only a piece of curtain... tried tippin the box n flipping the curtain but there was nothing else... except for the white coloured curtain... "Wat was he thinking abt makin this curtain for me?? Wat was he trying to get to...???" Immediately I called him up... but he din wanted to tell me... he said it's a surprise n i'm to find it out on my own...
1 year passed... but still I couldn't figure out wat was it wif the curtain that Ah Wei gave me on my birthday... Den my senior confessed his love for me... but I was still thinkin of Ah Wei...still hoping he is the one for me.... But thinkin back....it has been 1 year n he still wouldn't tell me wat's wif the curtain.... nor did he made any move to let me noe that he too is interested in me... maybe, juz maybe... it's time to let go... for me to move on... thus.. I sms Ah Wei... askin if we r still frens n hint if it was gonna be forever... then he replied, "Yes". At e moment, I was heartbroken... but I replied, " So you wouldn't fall for you, rite? If not you'll be a tortise." He then replied, "Yah, who ever fall for the other person will be the tortise..."
Then wif tat promise, I agreed to my senior... and after 2 months, I told Ah Wei about it. Instead of congratulating me. He asks me a qn tat got me stunned - "Do you really love him?" I din noe how to answer him... but eventually I said 'Yes, I do love him'. Soon after, he too had a girlfren but broke up later... coz the girl felt tat Ah Wei wsa pitying her due to her health condition n not tat he truely loved her. Upon hearing tat, I too had doubt abt my relationship n was too often quarreling wif my boyfren.
Almost into a year of relationship, I too got out of it. First person I called to seek comfort from was Ah Wei.
(Tis was where things changed)..... He asked if I still wanted to noe abt the secret within the curtain. I told him off.... A secret tat had been kept for more than 2 years... tat I've well forgotten abt it.. But since he mentioned... "Of course, I still want to know." Then he gave me a clue, "When the light n shadow joins hand in hand, tat's when happiness could be found..."
Tis curtain which have been wif me for the past 2 years... Had nothing sewn or painted on... But now... wat does it means... wat is the meanin of "when light n shadow joins hand in hand"... Juz den, e paper I was lookin for flew onto the floor n I could see sparks of sunlight shone on it. On a second glance, I realised tat it was from the curtain....
How stupid could I get...!! Now I noe wat tat hint was abt... the sun shines upon the curtain and the shadows formed thru the tiny holes tat were created by purpose makes up words tat could be seen...!! Upon readin wat was on it...my tears fell....
"Wondering how long it's gonna take for you to see tis... Might b 6mths, 1 year or 2 years... I dunno. But I'm sure tat I'm really in love wif you. Juz like how I've put my heart and soul to craved these words into the curtain. And wish for you to think the same way too."
