Ann* was a typical provincial girl with minimal exposure to the city-ways. Consequently, she tends to be overly shy and aloof. But more than that, Ann is a girl who didn’t know what she really wanted in life.
Before she went to college, we’ve asked her what course she’d like to take, obviously, she didn’t know. So, I asked her about her interests as I believed it would give us a clue as to what she wanted, she didn’t know that either. So, she just took the course that was a trend at the time.
After college was the problem of employment. Again, she didn’t know what type of job she wanted to be doing. So, it was either she didn’t last long in the job or she didn’t have any job at all. So, we were kind of surprised when she announced that she would like to work abroad. With the kind of attitude that she had, we thought she wouldn’t last a week. But she did.
She was halfway through her contract when we found the perfect guy for her. So, we gave the guy his number and we assumed that he sent her an SMS or something like that. After a few months, however, the guy said she didn’t text him back. Oh well, enough with the matchmaking game..
When Ann got home, I wasn’t there, so I had to wait until I came over to check her out, which was a few more months after she arrived. She looked healthier, first and foremost, and there was a little change in her attitude, I guess, she became less shy. But what surprised me most was the news that she was getting married in a few months.
It turned out that the guy whose text messages she snubbed was the same guy who captured her heart. Oh well, talk about love and its own course…
