Short Love Story
Cherish Part 1
There was this guy who believed very much in true love
and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl
to appear. He believed that there would definitely be
someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return
from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still
held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him.
He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would
always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady
whenever she came back. That went on for several years
and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose
as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend
came to visit him, she would be led into believing that
it was all over between her and the guy.
The girl took all those rather well, often trying to
casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or
so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret
whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too
proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned,
hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time,
she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game
any longer. Therefore, she confronted him and professed
that after all those years, he was still the only man
that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her
feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never
expected her to react that way. He always thought that
she would slowly forget about him over time and come to
terms that it was all over between them. Although he was
touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much
to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her
in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. So he
hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. Since
then, three years have passed and the girl never return
anymore. They never even wrote to each other. The guy
went on with his life..... still searching for the one
but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party
alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where
are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver
babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of
his friend. He felt warm and comforted by his friend's
queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom
he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so
much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite, but
because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable
with those girlfriends anymore. It was almost like he
was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted
across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went
up to acknowledge her. "Hi......how are you? Enjoying
the party?" the girl asked. "Sure.....yeah!",
he replied. She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the
whiskey on her hand. She continued, "Why...? Don't
you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?"
Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that
anymore......"
