After the breakfast he asked her to join him for a walk around the parklands.
She was silent most of the time and he had to keep digging for words out of her mouth. The fact was she had no sleep for 36 hours. And ...she was not supposed to show any emotions or excitement to him. She must not be interested in him.
He asked about her past relationships.
She gave short answers.
She told her that the last relationship didnt work out because she was called to be a missionary, and God told them to break the relationship. She said she wasn't interested to have any man in her life.
Silence. Long pause. Awkwardness.
She got a lil uneasy about the silence. She's generally a chatty person. But why did she lose her words when she was around him?
A bad conversationist? Her?
She doesn't recall it now but according to him, she abruptly stopped the conversation, 'Excuse me, I wanna take some photos of the playground,' she went off with her camera and a quiet sigh of relief in her...
---
As days went by, she realised he wasn't as keen on her anymore although they still talked online, and occasionally with text msgs. But ...it became a lil different.
She felt he'd held back.
It's ok, let it be, she was content to be in her own world anyway. No one should come in .
She thought, maybe he was just like all the others who had come after her. Some went away after a few attempts, some stayed around for a while, but eventually they all left. Maybe he was one of them.
She still went to his blog daily. Somehow, deep deep deep deep down in her heart, there was a very faint voice ,almost unnoticeable, that told her, ' This man is different.'
