Weird

I have a queer story to tell. Maybe you can say its interesting. Maybe, it was a dream. Maybe, its the truth. But i would never know. In the story, as with all stories, there was a man. And since there was man, there was a woman. And as with any successful story that i've ever heard of, there was love involve. And to up the ante, it was a one sided love story. Now this girl was in love with this man. Or the other way round. But from this, we know that it was obviously a one sided love story.
And so the story went, that this girl, was hoping to go out on a date with this man. And of course, because it was a one sided love story, it didn't happen. And this girl, being a silly girl, really thought that the flimsy excuse that the man gave about having to wake up early and not wanting to stay out late was the whole truth and nothing but the very truth. And coz she was an understanding and accomodating girl, she shrug it off and hid her disappointment. But as usual, this man, fed her a tidbit saying he would call later in the night when he got home so they could talk. This cheered the girl up immediately.
For the whole night, the girl carried her phone with her where ever she went. And she didn't dare to walk away for fear that he would call at any time. And she waited and waited, and finally, she decided that it was late and he wasn't going to call. And in the 15 minutes that she left her phone alone, he called, and when he got no one, he texted her to say that he was going to bed and that he would call again the next day.
And so, when the girl got back and looked at her phone, she was indeed disappointed.
I told this girl after the story was related to me, that sometimes, life plays cruel tricks on you. And maybe its a little of murphy's laws. Or maybe, just maybe, they weren't fated to talk at all.
And so this girl, went on to tell me, that she prayed really hard to GOD that night. She asked GOD to give her a sign. And that if the man called the next day, then she would carry on waiting for him. As with all sad love stories, he never called.
I found this whole episode rather amusing actually. For i remembered a time when i asked GOD to give me a sign about Guardian. And sometimes, we want things to happen so badly, that everything can seem like the sign that you are waiting for. But how would you know that it is exactly the correct sign? And when i asked her what indication it would be, she stated her terms. And the out of the blue, she said, do you think i was being very unreasonable? That it is too difficult? Ha...
If it was meant to be a sign, and it was something really easy, then why ask for it in the first place? And if it was very tough, and it really happened, then there is a greater reason to pause and think about the possibilities. And so, from what i last heard, nothing happened. Not the tough sign, not the easy sign. No sign came. Interesting really. Anyway, this girl was really disappointed as with all one sided love stories. No sign for her, no love for her, and confused and lost at the same time. Feel for her though..
