11.May.2016 - ZS, Me & Mr Bear Hug
Day started great. It’s the last working day at CM, and it will be the last working day before I have a good break. Woke up earlier cos maybe I was excited about the happenings. Text came in from Mr Bear Hug with updates on his liaison with some people. When I reached office, he told me he was heading to Loading H for prayers, which I told him I just reached office and will see him there. I got there, prayed and waited for him. He came, prayed and we went off to another prayer place. While on the way there, he was asking about my ability to cook and that’s where the whole conversation went haywired. Cos I told him I dunno how to cook white rice and he started explaining how to do it ... all the way from loading bays to TB. All this while, I was being ‘lectured’ but it was damn funny that I couldn’t help but kept laughing... He was totally speechless, and I was so amused that a HOD was teaching me how to cook plain rice. All becos I had asked my mom to cook potluck for me at 7am on Monday.
While at TB queuing up for my coffee, we saw ZS walking out of another coffee place with his 2 colleagues. He saw me animatedly talking to Mr Bear Hug and they walked into the confectionery. They walked out and he purposely came over to say hi to Mr Bear Hug and me, as a by the way... Spoke and joked a bit with me and he left with the 2 girls. All this while the conversation was more between him and me. I think they just cannot believed that their HOD is there queuing up with me, and the 2 girls just giggled at me.
You see, I think a lot of people have been seeing me with Mr Bear Hug. I am quite sure they would have wondered what’s our relationship. I bet there will be scandalous rumour about us just that I didn’t get to hear it yet. There are definitely more times where people have saw us alone together vs with a group. The girls have definitely seen me with him a couple of times, whereas ZS is the first time seeing us together, (something I have always wanted him to see and know) I am sure the girls have told him that they have spotted us together quite many times.
In the afternoon, I needed a coffee break after a meeting, so I texted Mr Bear Hug, and we wanted to meet in the park. However, it was pouring heavily when I reached ZS office. I stood there texting Mr Bear Hug, and viola, ZS walked into my sight right outside his office. Without saying anything he told me ‘wait, I get you umbrella’ without me even opening my mouth. He went in and grabbed me an umbrella, which I told him ‘wait, let me see if I should even go across in the heavy rain’ ... he was like ‘where you going??’ take the umbrella with you, it will be fine. I kept telling him to wait while I continued to text Mr Bear Hug. I told him that I was going into the park and his umbrella is too small and I needed a bigger one. He insisted that it was ok but I insisted I want a bigger umbrella but told him to hold the door open cos I was feeling hot. He signalled to me to go into his office while he got me a bigger one.The thing with ZS, he always give in to me, until today as long as I start to throw tantrum. He always give in without fail, and it melts my heart.
I continued to text, and throwing tantrum cos I wanted coffee but I didn’t want to be drenched. So I finally told him,
Me: Hmphm, angry. I don’t want to go already cos I don’t want to be drenched. ZS: You won’t get drenched cos the umbrella very big already, anything bigger will have to be that size *pointing to an umbrella shade* The max your shoes will get wet... oh but if your shoes are wet, you fall, then you will get wet....hahha Me: OK, not going over le .. .I go TB. ZS: Go TB, didn’t you have TB this morning? Me: Ya but I need at least 3 coffee per day... ZS: OK OK, I know I know you have got superhero (lifeline, I can’t really rem which was the word he said but it was something along these two) to call out for help too right. Think I don’t know *looking a littleangry with jealousy* Me: *caught off guard* err.. how you know? How you know I got superhero to save me? ZS: Of course I know la (I could hear a hint of jealousy in him, which made me secretly happy)
Before we parted, I told him I am moving office cos I managed to get out of CM, and he asked if I am going back to corporate office, I told him no..moving on property but I didn’t say more, and we parted ways.
The funny thing with ZS - it’s just very interesting on how we are not together but we are still caring about each other. We won’t waste any opportunity to speak to each other even for a short while, even when he was on duty on Sat,06.May.2016. We will just speak and hear each other’s voice.... And sometimes, I realised that he seemed to know things about me and do get concern (like how he doesn’t want me in CM) or jealous becos I have a superhero to call out too.
Sometimes, we are just very telepathetic. There are times where I wished I will get to see him and he would appear right in front of me with his bright smile. We somehow would know that we are unhappy and tries to cheer each other up, sometimes he gets jealous about certain thing about me and will be sarcastic with me .. And sometimes, he will remind me of things that I said to him more than 18 months ago...which still makes me feel very touched and I like that cos it’s a very sweet feeling. He still melts my heart, sometime.
At times, I really want to go back to the old times, sometimes I wished we had never told each other our feelings for that would have kept our friendship and chat windows on LINE longer.
