THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
This incident happened to me a year ago and I
remember it as clearly as it happened yesterday.
I
stay alone in a small apartment in the heart of
Bangkok while my parents stay in the small town
where I was born and brought up.
I worked as a
Hostess in a restaurant in the city.
Life goes on as usual between my place and the
restaurant with nothing to look forward to or
nothing to be unhappy about, still I was happy and
content with whatever I have. But fate had a
different plan for me.
I met Bill (who's memory I
cling to every day for the strength to go on)
through one of my friends I worked with.
Bill
became my best friend, my lover and most of all my
soul mate.
He dropped me off and picked me up everyday
from work in his motorcycle. His friends
and their girlfriends became my friends too. Life was
fun with lots of parties and jokes and
laughter, there were no dull moments in my life
after I met Bill. I loved him (I still do) from the
most sacred core of my heart and I knew he felt
the same way about me. He made sure that he met
me at least once every day. When he was out of town
he used to call me up a dozen times just to tell me
that he saw a girl who wore the same red dress
that I own or just to say "Hi".
I was in love and
happy, I just couldn't ask for anything more.
Then one fine evening we went shopping for my mom
because the day after was her birthday. While we
were driving back home on his motorcycle, a truck
came speeding from the opposite direction and hit
a car that was running in front of us and after
that the next thing I know was I was in the ICU
in the local hospital. When the nurse came in my
room I told her to tell Bill that I am fine and
he can come in. She looked as if she just saw a
ghost, I said "what's wrong"? Then she gave me a
scarier look than before. I shouted and
said "Where is Bill"? With tears in her eyes, she
held my hand and said "He's gone". I lay motionless
for about 10 minutes and asked her to leave me
alone.
My world crashed, I couldn't cry or talk, I
went blank. After about an hour I saw Bill coming
towards me and smiled, I smiled back then he
suddenly turned and went back. I called him and
asked him to wait for me, he kissed me and said "I
am coming back to take you with me" before I
could say anything he was gone. I shouted and
cried "Bill,wait for me" my mom came in and said
it was a dream but deep down I know it was not a
dream, it just couldn't be.
Life goes on without Bill though I think of him
every night before I sleep. I changed my job and
moved on with life.
On his deaths anniversary, I
went to his grave, bought some wine on my way back
and at night when I sat down to drink the wine I
bought, remembering Bill and the good old days, I
heard someone coming in and going towards the
kitchen. I went in to check if there was anyone
but there was nobody. I looked at the door and it
was locked which made it impossible for anybody
to come in without me noticing.
When I went back to
the room where I kept the glass of wine, the glass
was empty, I looked around and there was no spilt
wine on the floor and nothing could have come within
that short time and drunk the wine, it was
impossible!.
I smiled and said "Bill, you can come
anytime, I love you always".
After that incident I
have never heard or see or felt anything
unnatural anymore except once in a while I can
smell Bill's perfume when I enter my room.
To all the people who have lost their loved
ones, remember where ever they are, they still love
you and wish to be with you as much as you wish
to be with them".
