:: The Lost Engagement ::

Re-enactment:

13th Sept 2008 (Sat)

I met him a year ago in BeiJing, when I was there for short holiday. It was my first ever holiday, where I was there alone. As I was exploring the city, there I met this guy. We became real good friends, and as time goes by, we became more than friends. It was a rare chance I could find a great guy, who's Singaporean in BeiJing. However, the time came where he told me that his parents have decided to stay in BeiJing permanently, for their business. And because he's the only son, his parents would want him to take over the business as soon as they felt he's ready. But, I had to be back in Singapore. I can't decide to migrate there for good at that moment, as my parent wouldn't agree. I was left with two days before my holiday trip should end. My mind was in a whirl. Should I let him go, since I might not get to see him after I leave, and hence maybe this should be ended as early as possible to do good for the both of us. On the last day of my trip, we met up at the overhead bridge. Before I could spill the beans, he said "I know what you're about to do. But I wouldn't allow that". I explained that we can't continue for we knew that there's no future to this. We should stop. "We've come thus far, and it wasn't easy that I found you. I'm not gonna let you go", he said. "But, your business needs you. Your family needs someone to takeover the business. And I can't stay here with you. There's nothing we can do. Lets just part here", I replied. "Are you giving up too fast? Is there nothing else you can believe?", he asked. "I don't want to run into another cycle of failure. I wouldn't know how long will it take for me to recover. Lets just minimise agony, by parting. I'm leaving this afternoon. Good bye", I replied. "Grace! I'm not gonna let this happen! I know I can't leave now as yet. But I'm gonna make a bet with you. If we were to meet again, anywhere, as far as the earth could be, you've to make this promise; to marry me", he said. "You're out of your mind. I don't even know when will we ever meet again. Or will we ever meet? You shouldn't be brought down to stay a bachelor for my sake. Because we might never meet ever", I replied. "That's not the issue as for now. I want your reply. Say that you promise me", he asked. Both of us were in tears. As I gritted my teeth, I turned to reply him, "I promise". Immediately, he held me and rushed to the nearest jewellery outlet, and he bought rings. He said, "This symbolises my love for you. If we meet again, which I know we definitely will, these rings would be our identity".

One year passed. I don't know if I should just forget what has happened in BeiJing. One year has passed, and I'm now into my final year of study, and will soon graduate and enter the workforce. Has he forgotten about the engagement? Or should I forget? Was I too impulsed when I made my promise, that I now can't break. Will he come? Will we even meet?

This morning, it was my god-sister's wedding, and I was her bridesmaid. My heart was just not there, to witness someone's wedding which isn't my wedding. There was a strong yearning for him this very day, and I couldn't explain why. It must be the wedding, I thought. I felt so sorry for my god-sister, who noticed me, and had to console me on her wedding.

When it was time for god-sis to parade down the aisle to her husband-to-be, there was a halt. Then came a familiar song, which was in cantonese, however it was sang by a male; because the original singer is Zhen Xiu Wen. The guy's voice just seemed to sound so familiar. Everyone were startled and kept looking around. When he finally appear, I felt as if the lights would have blinded me. It was...him!! Tears started to stream down my cheeks. I couldn't believe it. Questions came into my mind. Had he left his business for me? What about his parents? As he was finally in front of me, I couldn't help but went up to embrace him. Before I could ask him of all the bugging questions, he said "These are not important for now. Do you remember your promise?". My tears were still running, and I finally took courage to give him a nod of acknowledgemenet. Everyone cheered. The next moment, my god-sis and I were exchanging rings. It was a double moment of bliss. It was the best day of my life, and I will never ever forget today, 13th September 2008.

-This happened on 13th September 2008, 7am-11.30am.
