I did not step in my office until 4pm today. I was attending a course on the other side of the campus. I'd a gleeful smile when I found this little sweet note on my desk. I was a little chirpy after reading it.
Hi Jade!
I hope you are fine! Just wanted to say hi. Too bad you weren't here.
Take care,
EF (*with a flower drawn*)
EF dropped by at work for a visit with her 5mo baby gal this afternoon! It's so sweet of her to leave me this note. I better check out how she's doing later.
When I first met EF, I could feel the chill, probably due to her phlegmatic and placid manner. She seemed rather aloof. But as I get to know her better, the icy snow seems to melt. She often shares with me about her past experiences. There's this particular one that has imprinted on my mind. I would like to share it here.
EF: Before I met Mr. T (her hubby), I was thinking "Okay, I'm turning 28, though it's about time to settle down, I haven't found the guy yet, so I would just live happily with my cats in an apartment."
Me: Oh, that's the right attitude....but something happened later right?
EF: Well, one day my friend and her husband invited me over to their house-warming party.
Me: You met Mr. T there?
EF: Yeah, I met him there, but we just talked briefly and we didn't take down each other's number.
Me: What?? You were not attracted to him at that time yet?
EF: Well...I found him a nice guy and possibly might be my type. But you know, I wasn't really having much thought on this. It was a nice chat and that's it. When party's over, I just left and had forgotten about him.
Me: OMG. What happened later? Did you meet him again?
EF: Of course I did. But that was 1 year later. I was at my friends' (the couple who'd invited me before) new year party. There I saw Mr. T again. We had another nice conversation with him. We didn't exchange numbers again.
Me: Oh dear, how could that be possible?
EF: Few days later, I received a call from Mr. T. He politely explaining that he got my number from my friend (the wife) and we started chatting over the phone.
Me: That's so sweet.
EF: So we went out once in a while continuously for like 2-3 months.
Me: You two were dating?
EF: Well, sort of....not really actually, we were just like friends. When my friends asked whether we were going out. We both denied though we were seeing the possibilities. We just didn't want to rush things over.
Me: That's true, so how did it work out later?
EF: As we hung out more and the sign became clearer that both of us are The One. So we got together.
Me: Oh, it's so so sweet!!
EF: I really believe good things will happen when you don't expect them or least expect them.
Me: That's so true and your story's the proof positive of this! Thanks for sharing!
That convo was taken place sometime ago. EF's happily married to Mr. T early last year and now the family of three lives happily together. EF's enjoying her new role as a mother. The beautiful mom looks more angelic now. I'm definitely looking forward to catch up with her soon.
I thank her for sharing her experiences and her bliss with me. I hope this will provide some inspirations for you, especially those who are looking forward to meet their The One and settling down. Remember what EF'd told us, "Good things will happen when you don't expect/least expect them."! So mates, just relax and enjoy your life at the moment and don't worry too much, k?
