on a story

I just read a book. It was a beautiful story.

There are two main characters in the story- a boy and a girl.

The boy, like mainly other fairy tales, is tall and good-looking, though not exactly very dark. He has high cheekbones and a pair of intense eyes that can melt any girl's heart. He has very broad shoulders which makes the girl in his arms feel very protected. He takes pride in his collarbones and looks damm good in any thing he wears. He is a people-orientated person. He takes really good care of people he knows and will do his best to help them if they are in trouble. He has an endless thirst for knowledge, which girls find very attractive. He can easily sweep any girl off her feet by sharing his knowledge with her. He is a deep thinker as well. It is not easy to comprehend what is going on in his mind.

The girl, unlike mainly other fairy tales, isn't pretty. She's just an average girl with average looks. She's not very tall, and is rather stocky. She's a rather quiet person - if left alone in an unfamiliar group, she'd rather not talk. She hates changes. She prefers small groups of really close friends, as oppose to big groups. She does think quite a bit, but keeps her thoughts to herself as she is afraid her thoughts are immature compared to what others think.

This boy and this girl met while in primary school. They remained good friends all the way till after junior college, when the girl was working, and the boy was in national service. The boy mentioned before, both of them were like "heaven and hell", very different. But, opposites do attract. One particular night in April, they met at the beach, and that's when the romance started.

They left their footsteps around the island they live in-from the west, in Pasir Panjang, to the east, at Pasir Ris. They spent numerous happy times together-cycling, celebrating each other's birthdays, going theme parks, watching movies, bullying each other, or simply doing nothing. As long as they had each other's company, it was enough. They learnt from each other and grew mature. They were each other's pillar of support. Yes, there were tears shed, but they managed to resolve it somehow.

The story could go on with more happy times spent together. But then things started to change. The boy was facing a whole load of problems, and the girl was part of the problems. She wanted to help. She thought, and managed to come up with a solution. She wished she had the ability to come up with another one, but she couldn't. Initially, she was selfish. She didnt want to use that solution as she loves the boy too much. However, as times went by, the boy was sinking furthur. The girl decided to go ahead with the solution. She knew she had to be firm.

It was painful for both of them. She didnt expect it to hurt that much. But like what the boy said, if they were meant to be together, they would be -ten, twenty years later. Time will heal the wounds. Meanwhile, they would still be good friends. And friends are always there for each other. However, there is just one last thing the girl is regretful about- the poem which she requested during the April night, she didnt have the chance to get it. (Ha)

It was a really great story. I never regret any of my time reading it. Nobody knows how the story will continue, except, perhaps the author, Fate.

Closing time, every new beginning come from some other beginning's end.
