It was time for me to return to Washington. There were so much errands to do prior to departure. I was out with my mum almost everyday and yet there seemed to be endless things on the shopping list to be bought! It was tiring but fun. I wished I could stay longer but my boss would not be pleased at all. Furthermore I really wanted to get back to work again.
Was it fate that I must meet his special woman? Why was life so cruel? I did not know the answer.
I was out shopping with my mum when I saw Damon walking down the street with this woman. She was an angel indeed. A very beautiful and attractive woman. They were talking and laughing together and seemed unaware of their surroundings. It was a picture of perfect couple. My heart gripped in pain. This was the cruelty of life, wasn't it?
They were heading towards my direction and he noticed me suddenly as he started to wave at me. I had the impulsion to turn around and walk away but I did not want to make a scene. We would cross each other's path eventually so why not faced it once and for all?
"Hey, nice to see you here. What's up?" Damon asked.
"Shopping with my mum. Aren't you working?" I answered politely.
"I'm having lunch with my friend." Damon turned and smiled at the woman. She gave him a charming smile in return. I felt nauseated.
"That's good. Hmm... nice to see you here but we really need to go. Catch you later!" I ended the conversation abruptly and grabbed my mum away.
It was not as bad as I thought it would be. It still hurt a lot but I knew I would survive.
The night breeze was cooling. I was in my bedroom staring outside the window. There were lots of stars tonight. It was lovely. I felt lucky and fortunate to achieve what I had now. Life was good and I had no complains. Losing the friendship between him and I was always a deep sense of loss that would forever scar my heart. But there was nothing I could do to savour this relationship. Maybe we could still be friends but I just wanted to clear my thoughts right now. It would be best to keep a distance from him from now onwards.
I closed my eyes and wished upon the stars.
"No matter where I am, you will have my blessing, Damon. Wishing you happiness always!"
