I can't help but feel that tinge of despondence when CL left. It's her last day of work today. A piece of news I only received... today.
CL and I had only started to communicate more last year and despite her somewhat aloof attitude at times, I feel that she's a lady who can furnish great company and share meaningful topics of life together. We are not exactly close but I know that the connection is there, somehow.
3 months ago, something had happened to CL and she has been away for medical leave till now. I was consciously ignorant of what actually happened to her and when I finally realized the lack of concern for her, I felt absolutely reproachful. Till now, I still lament over it. The worst is not knowing what adversities she's facing in life and for whatever she's gripping to, I hope she's not alone by herself.
Today, she spoke to me after 3 months. Yes, she's back but she's leaving again, for good. However, I was gleefully contented that I still deserved the short conversation I'd with her. It felt marvellous. I even sent an sms to her after she left and she has agreed on the dinner appointment I've initiated.
I'd grasped that it is that important to cherish any kinds of relationship you come across in your life. An acquaintance may end up as your saviour one day. Given the vulnerable nature of humans, we should learn to open up to people we love, establish mutual understanding and respect and lastly, apportion our happiness and bliss to them who deserved it.
I hope the friendship with CL will not fade off with time. She has made me appreciate humans more for being who they are.
