Sour-sweet Memory of Mine


I saw this when I was packing in my room yesterday. It's a strepsils' wrapper, something which I'd kept since this year January if I'm not mistaken. It not merely a wrapper, it's more than what it looks like. It's a memory-mark. I still remember that I had suffered from sore throat for a few days that time. I saw this thing in his bag but I didn't know that he had bought it for me. It was bought from any regular convenience store in UKM and it only costed Rm3.00. But to me, it was more than that. The warmth that I felt when received it, the sweetness that tasted in my heart was more that what was in the mouth. He had been such a good friend to me although we just knew each other for a short while. It also recalled me on 13th Jan, we spent time together in Genting when he 'borrowed' me from my friend because it was his birthday. It was a simple celebration with no cakes but silly jokes and games. I was quite happy to spend his day with him. We both knew that we had good impression to each other, but finally he chosed not to be in a more-than-friend relationship. And I'm glad he didn't because I won't have to blame him for anything. I appreciate the way he treated me exclusively, although it's not a long period, but it was marked in my life. Although we seldom meet nowadays and might not meet oftenly in the future or perhaps we only can contact each other through this rectanlge screen, but I see him as my brother now, a caring one. No matter how big the world is, how far we go, I will always remember such a person who exists in this world whom I care for. I will still keep this wrapper until the day it demolished. The mark will always be there, just like the taste of a strepsils, the sweetness which contains a bit of sour, it's sour-sweet. Take care of everything, hope you're doing great in life with blessings everyday. :)
