distant memories and the elating news

many might know parts of this story, but here's a short version of mine. i'll write til tomorrow morning if the full version is to be told. and there are too many dark secrets ^^

the lead character in this story is a girl who help shaped almost half of who i am today. we met each other at the tender age of 13, and fused together almost immediately. the reason behind my love of basketball, MU and football, and many other sports; i wouldnt even be known as "asa"...

it's not a secret how many school rules we broke together and for each other. originally binded by traditional chinese teachings and obligations, she freed me to a level that i couldnt really control myself. thus the sudden transition from an obedient kid to a rebelious teen.

obviously my family sensed something, although they were very much concealed from most of the outrageous things that we've done :P so we fought. and i made it clear that no one should say any bad thing about her infront of me. becoz she would have done nothing less for me.

but they were right. things got really messy for her when we got a bit older. it was not just about mickey mouse school rules anymore...

then there came a day when i wasnt able to help her anymore, and another day when we totally lost contact. that was about 3 or 4 years ago. unanswered calls, unreplied sms, emails, msgs... i wasnt even sure if they've ever reached her...

last week, i sent another one, which was also prepared to be unanswered. but as you've guessed, i've got a reply this time :) we exchanged a few more messages. she wrote honestly. my heart swells reading every single word. she was able to talk about it in a playful (no, her core didnt change at all ^^) yet sincere tone. she must be mighty proud of herself being able to get out of de mess with her own effort :) how many struggles and determinations were put behind? i could never know. but now the storm is over. and the only thing in her mind seems to be going back to study again :)

a happy ending?
or is it just another new beginning?
did she save this reply until i can read it when everything is fine again?
i am a terrible friend....

we probably wont be as close as before ever again...
but i'm mighty contented.
and thankful...

and also thanks for those who've gave her your blessings... even if you dont remember ^^
