Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5

It has been for almost 2 weeks since I first and last saw Angel. It can be said for that we totally lost contact. Here I am ever busy with my work and also feeling rather insanely freaked out by the reconciliation attempt by Erin. That relationship with her should not have taken place, a bad mistake by my part; I was lonely and may be perhaps horny too. Or perhaps, at that time I just wanted someone to be there for me, supporting me as Erin left to a foreign country to work commitment; selfish I may be, but in the end, if life isn’t about oneself, then what can it be!

If memory serves me right, it was on the 17th of January, while scrooling and checking out Harry’s website of which I promised him to visit it long time ago, there it was; a wonderful yet amusing testimonial by Angel for Harry. Wasting no time, with plenty of effort and determination, I somehow manage to locate her internet through a social network service website. With the wonders of internet, this world as we know it is really small. This is so true for me as we share the same social network service; a perfect opportunity to know her further. Ever quickly I added her in my list of contacts.

It took a mere two days later before some contact popped out in my messenger, having no idea who it was and could not make out who uses that email address, I rejected it only to discover the truth later in that day. That afternoon I receive a mail from Angel via the network service. She sounded rather scary and fierce but I like…arrrggg. Knowing that she might be angry or just simply playing or I am overly sensitive, I tried to look for her email so that it could be added in the messenger. At long last, through thick and thin supplemented with blood and sweat, I finally found it, all in all, no more than 10 minutes.

Ever since that day, chatting with her seems like a normal routine for the both of us. I was committed to a full time job, while she was working part time in some management firm. As a consequent, we met up rather regularly via the messenger from dawn till dust and we chat about everything that we can think off! I dared not tell anyone, not even a soul, because I do not want Erin to lay more pressure on me though we have broken up. You see, she still thinks we still have hope of reuniting. I do not want to give her any false hope neither do I want to be cruel by shutting her off. Lay in front is choices and I have to make that distinctive choice between being cruel to her or being cruel to myself. Miserably, I did not choose. I was like a man with a goal ahead, but without any directions to achieve it.

The feelings for Angel soon developed, and yet I told no one. Of all people, Harry was the most deserving person to know about it, but I chose not to tell him. Angel is his cousin and I know he is a very protective person when comes to family. Earnestly, I do not want him to worry about his cousin neither do I want him to nag at me because of the mess I am in now with Erin.
