It was just like yesterday since I started chatting with this girl.
Almost 2 years ago, I met her relative inside a hospital where my uncle used to work and give help to the patients in the Charity ward. I just finished surgery in Canada then when I met a woman who I thought was at her 40's or so that time. We had exchanged stories about some parts of our lives. In fact, I have talked to her just like how I used to talk to my own mother. I felt that she was so gentle in telling me things.
Fast forward...
After several days, I met her again in that hospital. I was sitting right in front of the door of the Medical Arts Building when she approached me again. I wasn't expecting this because I was just spending my time reading some books. This woman that I have been telling since the first part of the second paragraph asked me if I have a girlfriend. To my surprise, I did not even thought of an answer but immediately said: "I used to have one." Then she gave me a paper, torn from the part of my notebook. On that paper, she wrote the name of her niece. It was actually a full name that was not hard for me to remember because she has been mentioning her single niece since Day 1.
I have kept that paper for years only to waste one single opportunity that I had.
I was actually waiting for the right time to come when I could meet her personally and not online. But for some reasons, it happened. The relative's death came to my knowledge and I had to contact anyone to confirm it.
This was actually one great opportunity that was given to me. One opportunity that I have thrown away.
