If you like Crossing Paths, here’s a prequel to Crossing Paths told by you know who. Hope you like it sis!
That was the day.
I remember the day as it was yesterday. It was my first day working at TVB Station. I was pulling in the parking lot when I saw her. At age 25, I thought I seen all the beautiful women in the world. Boy! Was I wrong? I never saw any beauty like hers. She was petite, but her eyes were the biggest I ever seen. Her face was angel-like and when she smiled it was bright as the sun that morning. She was lost in a world of her own. As she was making her way towards the building, I noticed she was digging in her purse looking for something. I pulled up at the next available parking space. Jump out of the car and followed her. I stayed far behind because I didn’t want to frighten her. The last thing I want is to alarm her.
As she was making her way up the staircase, her eyes was still stuck in her purse digging for an item. Then she tripped and I panic. The last thing I want was to see her get hurt. So I did what any person would do. I threw my body on the floor where she was going to land and prepared myself. Ouch! I screamed. Thank goodness she was light, I didn’t feel any pain. Or maybe I did feel pain, but at that moment having her on me I was numb. We both got up and stared deeply in each other eyes. We were standing extremely close. She pulled back quickly. At that moment, everything was a blurred. I see her mouth moving, but I didn’t hear anything.
I snapped back to reality. She was apologetic and showed concern for my well being. I felt guilty because I really wasn’t in any pain at all. I was just in state of shock. I thought to myself, how can someone be so glorious? Being a charmer that I was, I started a conversation. We flirted and laughed. Even though the encounter wasn’t long, it was the best conversation I had in a long time. She’s even a lot cuter when she smiles. She had a fun sense of humor and great personality. I didn’t want the conversation to end, but I felt it was time for me to leave. We said our goodbyes and parted ways. I made my way up the staircase and forced myself not to look back.
As I walked away, then I felt it. I felt the pain. I realized the pain wasn’t from the fall, but it was from us parting. Why do I feel hurt now?
As I sit here and tell you this story, I think about that day that I met her. For years, the encounter has reminisced again in my mind. I can’t stop thinking about her. Why am I still so hurt? I finally realized I fell in love with her at first sight. If I could change anything in this lifetime, I would not walk away from her that day. I would be more aggressive and tell her that I love her. Tell her that I can’t live my life without her. Tell her that I didn’t fell on purpose, but to protect her from getting hurt. My only regret was not being able to hold and protect her from all the evil in this world. I had the opportunity to protect her, but I walked away. I’m telling you this story today because I want you believe that love does exist. People get blinded by love and lose their opportunity. Opportunity comes once in a life time and if you don’t take it, you’ll lose it forever. Just as how I lost her forever. I will always and still remember that day. That was the day, the day I met Yung Mei Ling.
That was the day.
