As mentioned,Gary's 23rd birthday finally arrived.. Secretly,I'm kinda relieved that all has gone well.. Celebration is at a club along with his elder brother and friends.. All I was thinking then that all the ruckus about the fortune telling was all so wrong.. Well,days after his birthday,he started to change in character. He'd often gets drunk and will end up in a bloody mess whenever he came by my house. I'll in turn will nurse his wounds always.. At that point of time, me and a sworn sister has already been staying independently on our own at my mum's place in Whampoa. Not a big flat,just a rental flat without room.. Those kinds that are small and yet comfortable to live in. Its basically an exchange agreement between my mum and me as by then,she have gotten herself remarried to my step father. The need for the exchange was because of my great grandparents. They are getting old and sickly and my mum needed to be there always. That is why I ended up having to fend for myself on my own there.
Well back to the issues of Gary,liked mentioned,he just kept on changing and changing.. Even tho he might come over being drunk and all, There was never once that he abuses me in that state. As a matter of fact,in his stupor,he'd keep on saying about how much he appreciates me being there for him always. Everytime,he'd throw in some advises on life in the future for me. I never took noticed of it really as most times I'd be focusing in treating and cleaning his wounds. Which by the way doesn't effect me much as I'v faced a much more terrible wounds than his. After about 2 months of such roller coaster. There was once that I came home at the sight of him already in the house sleeping. Didn't know that it was him, I really thought that it might be some intruder Who managed to enter the house without any keys. I even asked my neighbor's help to take a look into the house cause at that point of time,the uncertainty of the 'guest' was really worrying me. To my amazement,its Gary !!! sound asleep like a baby.. Gosh !!! He really knows how to give a fright..After knowing,I didn't bother to ask him much at that time cause I'd know how drunk he was being. But I won't deny it,questions lingered in my mind... How did he enter the house without the use of keys? My windows are at the inner side of the flat which was on the 9th floor, so prior to that,there's never an existing windows anywhere near the door. Did I even had the door locked before I left for work? I only got the answers to my questions later that morning.. It seems that he had climbed in through my kitchen window from the public staircase along the window ledge and into the house. Not to worry,his bravery is not being commendable at all. But his stupidity is the one that actually received one of my rarest naggings so early in the morning..
A week later after that incident, Gary decides to drop by the house the proper way. Not being drunk,no wounds and obviously no climbing in thru the kitchen windows. We sort of havde a long talk in regards of us. He just seems very different that day. The long talk had end with my heart being broken to pieces for that's the last day that we'd be together. There's no 3rd party,there's no mistakes and no arguments to begin with. He seeks forgiveness and even had asked me to take good care of myself when he's no longer around. The farewell speech definitely is very weird to me. I could not accept the fact that there's no longer a US there..
