:no:  "I've told you not to come to my place, Daniel. Let's meet at Central Park, same time, same tree, same bench, tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay Maria",Daniel reluctantly agreed and head for his C70 bike but he could not start the engine.
Maria just watched from a distance. Daniel walked away cursing whilst pushing his troubled bike. What a day for him.
                                               
                                               *

It's 5.00 pm Sunday. They met at the agreed place, KLCC Park, but they used to call it Central Park, reminiscing of the one in New York.

As the Symphony Fountain of KLCC sprouted their magnificent water display, Daniel too poured his heart out. Maria just listened attentively. She thought of yawning but decided not to.

After a long pause, Maria bathed her throat with mineral water and began her long awaited speech.
"Daniel, I've  thought over and over and over of our ongoing relationship and I've come to my decision. No matter how hard it is to be, please understand and accept it. Let's just be friends. You've all this while been very loving and caring towards me but you're not fun to be with. I need someone who's cheerful, funny and can always make me happy. With you, it's always that mushy-mushy lovey-dovey, straight forward type of relationship. Sometimes I do get bored, you know. Just look at the couples around here, full of laughter between them".
"I'm not trying to offend you, my dear Daniel but this is the new millenium. People don't do that anymore. It's no more that 'boy meets girl-fell in love-have relationship-dating-engaged-go for marriage course-get married-have kids-get old-end of story'- kind of thing."

"Can you see my tears rolling down my face?. Now I'm smiling. It's not easy, you know. Crying and smiling at the same time. But that's how I intend to overcome my heartfelt pain towards our relationship. So let's just be friends from now on, okay? Let's go  separate ways. You go to the Artic, I'll go to Antartica. Only time will tell. From now on I want to focus on my business. I'm a businesswoman now. Pray for my success. Adios Amigos".

Daniel was utterless but nevertheless accepted her painfull explanation. How hard Daniel begged to reconsider, Maria still stand on her decision. With that, they parted ways.

However, just before they go their separate ways, Maria gave a sarcastic comment to Daniel, "You sounded just like the Great Eastern Insurance salesman this morning, trying to sell his policy to me. Luckily, I managed to evade him. Ha Ha Ha...":lol


ps. maaf ler panjang lak. kena marah ke ni..Kalau marah, len kali tak buat lagi.

My memory took me to our first meeting. It's just like the Groundhog Day.
My past kept coming back again and again.

"Maria..." Daniel's voice beckoned me to the present.

Agul

"I know that you do not want to be with me anymore."
"And you know what?"
"I don't even care!"
" I used to care but I'm too exhausted by all this nonsense, all this mind games you insist on playing..."
"I'm not going to waste more time with you anyway."

"And before I go, it pain me to say this but you're such a stuck up, whiny little girl who never quite grown up. Be gone my lady, there's no more space for you inside my heart."

"Goodbye, for good".

Numbed. Shocked. I lashed out, " You hypocrite! *****! Who is the two-timer here? Stuck up, whiny little girl...Don't you dare heap the blames on me...You..you...urgh..." Lost.

I left the scene as fast as my two legs could carry me. Enough is enough....I'm not going to go through hell again , just like this. I have had ENOUGH !!!!!

:geram::geram::geram:

seribulan

Hands roughly pulled me to a halt. "What do you mean two-timing? I had explained to you what happenned. Enough of explanations!"

ah. i've had enough fighting in one day. Why don't both of us go to get a cup of coffee or something. Maybe...just maybe we can talk about our relationship over a warm cup of coffee. Anyway...how are you? (i  hope you will die from a painful death tomorrow)

seribulan

"Why don't you come inside and i make each of us a cuppa. " I invited Daniel wearily.

Fifteen minutes later , we were all sitting with a cup of coffee in our hands. The silence was deafening. You could hear a pin drop. No one wanted to start the discussion rolling.

seribulan

"Maria...I've explained to you about Meriam. You still did not get it. She's a Judas. Don't let her comes between us" pleaded Daniel.

"Hmm" sighed Maria. "You still don't get it, do you Daniel?" "I know the government is promoting a Recycling Campaign nationwide, 'think first before you throw' but I don't think that I need to recycle my speech to you at KLCC Park that day. I hope you will understand what I've told you.

"Bee tee double you, by the way, Meriam has nothing to do with us so forget Meriam, forget Paris, forget Semenyih, whatever.."
"Maybe we could be better off being friends from now on."
"I intended to speak to you in  ONE sentence  today but I just couldn't help it." With that Daniel left and head for his Yamaha  C70 outside.

Maria watched from her doorstep as Daniel failed to start his engine yet again. Daniel grumbled as he pushed, yet again, his troubled bike.

Maria just couldn't control her composure seeing that same scene. She quickly went into her living room and burst out laughing.loll

seribulan

Or burst out with tears. Daniel, her husband, wouldn't care nor feel anything for her.

She knew that these emotional roller-coasters were not good for her health. Her heart started beating very fast. She went to her handbag and took out her "favourite" small bottle of pills , the pills that will calm her nerves.

seribulan

Ring! Ring! The bottle went flying in the air. My God! My nerves are all jumbled up. That surely will be Meriam, the bitch, the Judas...

I do not want to pick up the phone. Go away...... I screamed silently. Leave me alone , you bit*h ..........

At that point , I could not take it any longer. I burst out into loud sobs. tears were rolling down like rain.

seribulan

She was at her cybercafe. Her mind went wandering to what happenned a few days ago. A big weary sigh burst out of her lung.

Agul

God, why do I have to go through all of this...
I've never been a bad person in my life... Stealing paper clip is the worst thing I ever do...

"Whatever happen in your life is not necessarily God's punishment on you!"

Startled, I look up. Matt, what the hell is he doing creeping up on me like that? Eventhough he is fairly good looking, he always seem a bit mysterious to me. No, creepy is more like it. Can he read my mind?

"Huh, why the starange look?".  "If you think I'm reading your mind, forget it. Anyone could see that you're depressed" continue Matthew.

seribulan

Such a honey. Always showing a bit of care, although there's just something not right about him.

"Daniel's travelling tonight on a plane..." sang Elton John on Radio Muzik. A sentimental number that caught Maria's attention as it coincidentally related to her present predicament. She laid back on the sofa with her eyes closed recollecting fond memories of her moments with Daniel. :cry:

She made up her mind at that instance. She went home , packed her bags , called the airport and book the earliest flight to New Zealand.
