Two friends --- L and F --- met in gym last evening. They played Pingpang, talked and laughed. Their conversations, as those between any other two girls, covered three things, i.e. garment, makeup and boyfriend. 'Last weekend,' L said, 'I reached an agreement with the man. I am now free for the following half a year to date with others to find a better guy. If I fail, I will return to this man.' L seemed so satisfied with the agreement that she added, 'T, I bet you can never imagine a better conclusion for a just-so-so love.' In response, F smiled, 'yes, maybe,' she said to her friend.
On reflection, F felt the conversation amusing. She learned now better than ever how it often turns out at last that for the best part of our lifetime, we are just experiencing what have been experienced hundreds of times by others, although we do not realize it immediately. For example, L does not know, the love agreement as she is attempting, has been experienced by F as early as three years ago. The boy is called H.
T and H met in the summer when they were working part time for one company. For the first half a month, they were no more than colleagues. As time went by, they got together more...H did not utter the word love, still F could tell it by the look in his eyes. F herself was ambivalent about the affair. On the one hand, she was attracted or we say lured much by the boy. She found H both clever and responsible, two qualities F value high in a boy. On the other hand, she hesitated as much. Anyway, H is younger than her and it is against Chinese culture to see an older gf. More important, F feels allergic to uncertain love, while young as H is, he is less likely to settle.
Sense and sensation conflicted within F for days before she finally decided that she would rather quit the game than wait to lose it. It was bad news for H. He wept during their final talk, insisting on making a promise to show her his ability to offer a stable relationship, so he said, 'Whatever, I will stay waiting for you. Let's call it one year. Ok? Remember.' F agreed.
Three years have passed during which time no one mentioned the agreement again. Actually, it is not necessary to mention it any more since both H and F have started a new life now.
