:: was it meant to be? :: part x :: the finale ::

-----

to make this last post less confusing.... the orange ones are for scott... the green

ones are for callie... and the black ones are the narrator...

-----

he sat there tday. jus waiting. din noe wat he was waiting for. jus sat there
waiting. it was a normal day of work for scott, he gets up in the morn, bathed,
changed... grabbed breakfast n rushed to work. it was suppose to be a normal
day too, he would've jus finish work. go home. have dinner. n go out again for
his 2nd job. (yea...he worked double jobs... wats a high school drop out suppose
to do?). he worked in a shop in the mall. normal 9-5 job. he was frankly doin
pretty well for himself lately. *smugs*

it was a slow day, not much customers. so he sat there. waiting. staring at
the crowd outside the glass window as they passed by without looking inside.
it was a boring day. doodling on a sheet of paper at his desk. thinking of lunch.
hey! its 12.30pm okay?! spare me tat look!

he looked up from his place, and a familiar face passed by. whaaa...? he stood
up. stared at the person who jus passed the entrance of the shop. could it be?
and she turned her head to look in. it is her!! they're eyes met... for tat few
seconds scott tot he would've jus rushed out. but the crowed outside was busy,
and she continued walking. wait!!!

"hey, i'll just step out for a few minute k? smthg to do." scott hastily told his
partner of the day.
"sure... dun be too late k?" but b4 he could finish. scott dashed out of the shop.
searching for that face in the midst of the crowd. he couldn't find her!! where
is she?! he took out his phone.... amy...bonnie... bobby... callie... callie!!! he
called.

betty wanted to buy her prom dress. and callie offered to bring her around
town to find the perfect bargain. they went from shops to boutiques to malls.
one by one. the whole day... it was tiring. and they were running out of places
to go. betty was... hmmm... thin!! and petite! to find her a dress was like
dressing up an ant!! kinda dramatic but yea... tats the situation! finally
callie remembered a mall in the other corner of town. she use to go there. but
her family went there lesser as malls were popping up everywhere.

they parked and callie was surprised at the amount of ppl there. no offence
but the mall was not as "happening" anymore! its more like an "auntie's
bargain house" now... and perhaps because of that, the crowd on that day
was like a HUGE "auntie convention". they were everywhere!!! betty
n callie struggled thru the crowd. finding gaps and a tiny way to move ahead
of the stampeding aunties.

in the midst of not getting separated, finding their way out and trying not
to suffocate, callie saw smthg... or sumone.... could it be? she tries to get
a better look. stretching her neck, cursing tat she wasnt 4inches taller.
it was him!! she tried to stand there and wave or smthg... but whoa... the
aunties were pushing like elephants... it was madness... so she continued
walking. probably din see me anyways.. doesnt matter... so they walked
along. buthen the phone rang.

-----

"pig head!!!" scott screamed into his cell. he din cared wat the world was
thinking.
"haha... hey... doneed so loud la... ur jus a few metres away." she chuckled.
the familiar voice replied. scott grinned. she remembered.

i let her go one too many times. not this time. i'm never gonna let u go
again. not this time.

"aahahha... it was you. i tot i saw yet another auntie... hehe... where r u?
stand stil will ya? i go find u!"

as scott walked towards her. it was all messed up. he couldnt stop
smiling. but he still dunno wat to say. wat can i say to her? its been
so long....

he stood there. staring at her. he wasnt even listening clearly as callie
introduced her small friend standing beside her. he jus stood there.
all he could thinking about was looking at her. staring at her. capturing
her every movement. her every expression. her smile, her dimple,
her twinkling eyes. why the hell did i ever let u go?!!! dumbarse!

she hugged him. he melted. speechless. he held her in his arms. so tightly.
afraid tat if he hadnt she would've disappear. in the middle of the crowd
they hugged. it felt as though the whole world disappear. it was jus them.

its been so long... but it still felt the same. the way u look at me. the way
you smile. even ur hair smelled the same. the way u blushed when i
stare at u for too long. but i cant help it. i just cant. i wanted to tell u tat
i love u. tat i've been waiting soooooo long. tat all i wanted was for u
to be be mine. i wanted to tell u tat i've changed, i'm a better man now.
trust me. i am. i wanted to tell the world tat i am the luckiest man
alive. i wanted to tell them tat u are mine......

hearing his voice brings back so many memories. callie jus stood there.
looking at him as he walked towards her. bad boy scott. in slacks and
glasses. and a collared shirt. he's different. i'm glad. he's nt lost after
all.

staring at him. it all came back. the smiles, the tears. the memories.
the past. all that she's been cleverly avoiding. it all came back.she
couldnt avoid it any longer. he was standing there. lovingly jus staring
at her.wat could she do? she couldnt make up her mind... not
until the very last minute.

she ran into his arms. and he held her tight. she could hear his heart
beat as it thumped in his chest. she could feel her legs shaking as she
felt his warmth. she couldn't bear it any longer. another minute in
his arms and she would've break. she would've jus break down n
cry. torn apart. confused.

after they hugged. callie slowly let go of scott's shoulders. taking deep
breaths, she tries to calm her emotions. fighting very hard for the
tears to not show. but scott din let go. he released her from his arms.
but he held on to her hands. he wanted to say smthg.oh god...
please dun.... not now..... please...

"callie....."
"no... scott stop. not now..... please...."
"but why? "
"just dont."
"if nt now den when?"
"2 years ago... at the carpark."
"callie.... dont...please...."
"i'm with some one now..........sorry....."

no one knew wat happened to scott nor callie. maybe they did end up
together. mayb they din.

ppl always asked. y did he wait so long? some ppl say tat callie still
loved him as she did. some said she jus din wanna risk being hurt
again. while others said tat she jus got tired of waiting.

so the question is... y did they waited so long? wat were they waiting for?
the perfect timing? or the perfect person? the perfect moment?

waiting for a 2nd chance? or jus waiting for the one and only? if it is so?
den how would u ever be sure n certain if TAT was the perfect moment?
how would u ever be sure tat it was the Perfect Person?

ppl use to say tat love was trying with the right person at the right timing.
was it true? mayb scott could've been the one. mayb callie jus gt sick of
being hurt. mayb it wasnt meant to be at all?

so.... was it? or was it not?

waiting for the right person.... whose hands fit exactly into urs. waiting for
the right timing.... where the stars allign and the wind was kind. waiting
for the right moment.... where u'll blush, and the whole world disappear.
how long do u plan to wait?

wat makes ur so certain tat there would'nt be a better fit? wat makes u so
certain tat it was the right moment? so does tat mean u'll have to wait
forever?

waiting for smthg to happen in the future.... y not jus embrace the present?
what if there's a better person out there for us? question is... wats wrong
with the person u r with now? "i'll tell her when the timing is right." y cant
u tell her now? wat if.... tml smthg bad happens to u? wat if tml she wouldnt
feel the same anymore?

its ironic. isnt it? how we always hoped for a better alternative? how we wait
for the perfect one. sumtimes we're jus too obsessed waiting for the future,
to appreciate wat we have in the present.

translated lyrics- how many times can love rekindle
itself?

always blaming myself for wat i did tat day,
i'll always regret letting u go the other day.
y is it tat we love each other,
but in the end we still end up being apart?
who would've tot tat i would see u again tday?
in the midst of so many ppl.
all these year... i've lived on.
couldnt tell u if it was good or bad...
but it jus felt like...a part of me was missing.
but i soon felt tat, u still cared for me after all these time.
how many times can love rekindle itself?
yet how many ppl are willing to wait?
after learning to appreciate everything,
how sure are u tat the love u had is still there?
so tell me.
how many times can love rekindle itself?
and how many ppl is worth waiting?
when the love u have is already dying,
how many of u still have the courage to love again?
