Valentine's Day (Part 4)

Valentine's Day is for people to show their love to one another but sometimes even the best of plan backfires, and it may break your heart, but not everybody can handle a broken heart.

If you read my previous entries, you might know a friend of mine named Alex(not his real name, by the way). He is the mastermind who after so long actually found out the name with the girl he likes. Not only that, he is actually good friends with that girl. One problem, the girl he likes, is in love with another guy who happens to be his friend. Of course he was pissed, but he is not the type to hold a grudge against his friends. Anyway, he had taking a beating to his heart for quite sometime and everytime he sees her, his heart just explodes. So, I advise him to just go for it, on Valentine's Day admit his feelings in the most extravagent way. And that's what he did....

He took my song that i wrote (I couldn't hate you), and play it for her, together with a dozen roses, and a card with a poem in it saying how it really felt. What happen...Iris(not her real name) took it as a joke and just laughed. The worse part is she showed the class and the whole class started to tease him. What did he do, he just laughed with them and at the end of the day he just went home and refuse to do anything. He has not return to school since then. All he does now, he sits at the balcony of his place comtemplating whether to jump or just sit there for the rest of his life and with all this happening, he blames me for it. Damn, the day when my heart got broken, his heart got shattered and he blames me. I can't talk to him because he doesn't want to hear from me. So i told him when he decides to jump, give me a message so that i could join him. Look at it this way, if he jumps, I am going to blame myself for it and I don't think I can take that much guilt, so might as well end it all.

It really is a shame really, Alex had the world in his hands. He is a freaking genius, he is a mastermind, but with his heart shattered, there is no blood going to brain so no matter how genius his brain is, it cannot function. And its a shame because he has a 3.5 GPA and its all going down. I mean what has he done wrong? All he did was love a girl he could not get and unlike most people, he just dont handle emotional situation very well. What girls don't realise is that sometimes they have the power to build or destroy a guy. I mean, I get my heart broken time and time again and although I do contemplate suicide, I dont do it. But Alex is different, he is a good person and he doesn't deserve this type of treatment. Alex is so nice, he probably, make Gandhi look bad. He is studying, chemical engineering so as he could try to discover a way to bring power to third-world countries. He's so nice, we actually missed our train and missed our movie just because he wanted to help an old lady who fell down the escalator. He donates to every charity available. He remembers everybody's birthday. He remembers every single detail of the Iris's habits. I mean he is not a stalker, he is just a nice guy who pays attention to detail. I mean how you think he got a 3.5 GPA. He remembers stuff, like the way her nose crinkles when she smiles, or the way her eyes is teared up when she fakes a smile to hide her sadness, or the way she curls up on the chair when she sits in the lab or the way she hugs herself when she is feeling cold. He is the type of guy, who offer his jacket, buys for her, her favourite ice cream when she is feeling down, who would make her laugh when she frowns. The typical nice guy.

And by listening to me, all these disappears in a blink of an eye. I'm suppose to be his friend but I didnt know that he could not handle rejection well. How, am I suppose to smile when I just destroyed one of the greatest human being on this planet. Sigh...I know love hurts but this is too much, I mean Iris is doesnt know what she's missing. All I can do is hope that hopefully one day Alex will come to his senses. He wont take my calls or my messages and its just sad. There is a saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn". I guess they were right...
