Extracted from Page 47

“Did he ever tell you about his troubles?” My mother asked, and that question seeped right into my mind. Zhi Jie never tells anyone about his problem, not even to his own mother. He is like a loner, stuffing all his troubles to himself. That was why I had given him the nickname “superman”: He is very emotionally strong. Too emotionally strong.

“What can I do?”

“Seek out the reason yourself, girl. Find the root of the problem and work on it. As long as there is still love, there is still hope. Only give up if there is no love left. Trust me.”

I knotted my fingers together into a ball, dropped my head and repeatedly used my ball of fingers to knock my forehead softly.

As long as there is still love, there is still hope.

“Help me ask dad to fetch me to Zhi Jie’s place.

After all we had been through, after all these times together, you’ve been treating me as a friend…?Friend? A brother?

I only went off after downing five sticks, and I finally understood how much I love you, because after my bath, you called, and when I heard your voice, I forgot how depressed I was during that one hour conversation.

But, when you hung up, the depression that was seemingly on hold via a painkiller, came back – even stronger than before.

I took the paper out from my bag and passed the results slip to you. You read it, seared your eyes onto mine and looked away.

“I’m your girlfriend.”

“I know. I’m your boyfriend-”

“And I’m in JC. And you’re… going to, what, repeat your O Level at eighteen years old?”

“Don’t forget Jie. Just don’t remember him. Take away anything that reminds you of him: His pictures in your handphone, his photo in your room, the gifts that he gave you. You never forget true love: You just don’t remember.”

“But everything reminds me of him.” I said, my voice choked with phlegm. “My house, the road, the trees…”

“Slowly, these things that you cannot control will have a memory of their own. That’s how I let go of Jie’s father. Think of it this way, Ling: Every piece of memory has been shelved off, but love, it stays, and that’s what matters most.”

Is that how it feels?

Everything seems so empty. For the last ten months, every single movement seems empty. Even in a crowd of people, I feel lonely, I feel like you are the only person in the world who can wipe out the loneliness in me. Every single second, I think of you, I think of ways to make you smile, I imagine where are you now, and every single second, you are like a part of me, and I see you more than I see myself because the moment I close my eyes, your image stands in front of me.

Is that how it feels? Is that how true love feels?
