Soulmate
A number of months ago (I reckon it was July), I had a long chat on the msn with Destiny. Destiny is a girl whom I have met a year ago at the club when I was back home doing my socialising round. I introduced her to my friend Soci (whom I got to know through his father who happens to be one of Old Boy’s best friend) and the rest is history.
One night, Destiny and I began chatting on msn for a good four hours. She is a talented fashion design student graduate who had moved to a fashion desert like Sad Town to be with Soci. We bantered about our love for fashion creation and exchanged ideas on what she could do here to continue her art and make some money on the side.
We got on better as we warmed up with time and we started talking about boys and love. She knew about my past with the Old Boy who she had met during outings with Soci’s family. She has also come to know DL from living in Sad Town since they are always invited the joint social gatherings and birthday parties of the people we hang out with here.
“Do you believe in soulmates?” she asked.
“Of course, I do.”
Destiny then asked me whom I felt was more compatible with- DL or the Old Boy.
“I don’t know,” I said.
“DL and I just know each other’s intention well within a social setting. We have similar views about how we would raise children. But having said all that, we have been together for a long time for us to have this certain mutual understanding of each other’s moves. We were fire and water to start with and it had taken years for us to get here... but it must have been some form of love or another for us to tolerate each other and want to make it work, I guess. After all, we are so different....”
“What about the Old Boy?” she asked.
“ Well, we met under a different context, through the blog. We used to write lyrical emails and began chatting online. But it was strange how we always guessed the other person’s personality or train of thought right. We had some form of chemistry and guess we were similar, being polygamous. So there was something spontaneous about our communications and we held the bandits’ honour together. He was my best friend for a long time and I felt I could confide in him. Despite so, our interaction was always light-hearted and fun at the beginning until feelings got serious, or perhaps the sex or jealousy ruined it...”
“Hmm, then the Old Boy must be your soulmate, although you would end up with DL who loves you.”
That reminded me of what a clairvoyant said the week before- about me griefing the loss of a soulmate. But then, sometimes you won’t end up with a soulmate for a good reason and you would end up with the man who loves you more...
