Fragile

A colleague told me about her previous relationship 3 years ago yesterday while we were on our way home. Her then boyfriend aka husband-to-be broke off with her 2 weeks before their wedding, reason being he was not ready. The worse thing was, he broke off with her via sms, while he was in Thailand for an overseas assignment. He came back, packed his clothes from my colleague’s house and off he went, without giving her any other explanations. She has to notify her relatives on the cancellation. Even though she spoke very calmly, I can’t help but to feel sorry for her.

I saw her eyes turning red and tears flowing in her eyes. I can feel her pain. Notwithstanding that 3 years has passed, I know she has not let go of this relationship, partly because there was this unopened lock in her heart. No explanation, no reason. I feel sad for her. I know from others that she has a failed relationship, but only yesterday did I know the whole story from the horse’s mouth.

Relationship is very fragile sometime. You can feel especially fortunate and blissful now, but you can feel totally opposite the next minute or so. Sigh.

Perhaps she should throw away the wedding band, and open her heart again.

I wish she will find her true love soon.
