"Till Death Do Us Part"

-

"Hey can I see your homework? I don't understand a few."

"UGH you always want to see it. Why can't you do it yourself!" 

They did not speak for a year until the next year fate brought them to be together again. 

"Ugh she again!" She said that. Weirdly enough, that best friend of hers was pretty annoying for her but she managed to get along. 

Until one day her soon to be best friend came to her desk and ask something, "Have you guys seen the drama yesterday?" She quickly said, "OH YES, the guy is really cute right??" and her soon to be her best friend said, "I know right! I can't get enough of him!"

The rest is history. 

She was the only one she misread in the beginning. She always reads people right from the first sight. She knows if she's going to get along or not with that person. But her best friend gave her the "incorrect" signal. 

Of course, like any other meaningful relationship, their relationship isn't always sunshine. The storms coming in and out whenever they like. To be able to understand one another is really a lifetime work. But they work it out anyway because that relationship is worth it. 

She knows this kind of soul-embracing-person will only come once or twice in a lifetime. They learned a lot from each other. They understand themselves better because of that. Funny thing is, the more they're fighting, the more they get closer even though they live thousand miles away from each other. Her best friend is the one she can talk about anything without being judged, and vice versa. 

19 years later after that first fight over homework, her best friend asked her with whom she can't live without? She said, "No one. I can live fine by myself." Then her best friend asked again, "Even without me in your life?"

She then answered, "Well... we are going to be dead anyway one day, so let that death make us living without one another. But later. Way way later. Don't die just yet. Later, when we're old old old and had enough of this lifetime."

"Till death do us part then?" Asked her best friend. She agreed. 

She found one of her soulmates in this lifetime, and it is one of the things that makes her life worth to live in.

She Knows Something Before It Happens

"That small plate will break in a few minutes." As if someone told her in advance that someone gonna break the plate. She was just continue reading her book, the book she borrowed from the school library while eating snack on dinner table.  The plate she was talking about was on a table, far away from the edges. That plate stayed still. The moment she left the dinner table as she finished her snack, that's when she heard a crack from the plate. The plate she knew a moment before was gonna break.  She surprised. It surprised her.  "What was that? How did I know? Well that was weird, the plate was fine." She stopped doing things a few seconds as she tried to make it make sense for herself. She had a lot of questions. But she cleaned the scattered pieces of that plate and moved on.  That week was the exams week for her. She had to learn a lot of things at once. But she just picked whatever that she thought will be out in the exams. Randomly picked. Her friends aske...

"She is always angry"

That's what she heard growing up, especially from her mum. She was just a teenage girl, 14 or 15 years old, had a lot of rage. The rage she did not understand why and from where. She just had it.  Everything in that house made her mad. Everything. Every loud noise her neighbors made. Every noises came out of her mum. Everyone in that house who wanted to speak their minds. She did not have her own quiet time.  Unless when she was up late at night.  She was and is a night owl. When the sun's set, when the stars were visible at the night sky, when the moon showed up for her, when she heard less noise, when everything just quiet, that's when she found her peace at night. She stayed up late every day. She did not want to waste away her precious time at night to finally be able to heard her own voice. The voice from her own heart.  Well... she loves to sleep but like other students back home she had to wake up and left the house around 6 in the morning. She had not enough ...

In Search of Home

"I want to be home", she said it in the morning. Her friend told her to just go home.  No, it's not the home home. The feeling of coming "home" is different with going physically home. She was searching the meaning of home. The feeling of being home. She didn't find it in her parents' house. She didn't find it anywhere.  She is longing to be home.  No one understand this feeling when she told them. She didn't push it and just let the feeling lingers a little bit longer.  "No one understand me anyway." Until she met somebody.  "I know what you mean." "How?" "Because I feel the same." He came from the big city, lived his whole life in a big city and then there's this itch for them to search for home. A home that is not the building of the house, but a place where she is embraced by the souls she's been missing to be with. The souls who wouldn't question her decisions doing things in this lifetime....
