Storybook Children

 

"If only we were storybook children."

 

A guy once had a crush on me -- the first time he had such a feeling to a girl in his life, he said -- when he and I plus 3 other students spent 2 months together in a village, we were having our Community Service alias KKN. I was married back then. We didn't flirt each other though, so, I guess I was innocent, I didn't do anything -- flirting him, let's say -- to make him fall in love with me.

 

One day, nearing our going back to the university where we were studying, he said that statement, "if only we were storybook children, how happy we would be."

 

And I don't know why recently that statement has been echoing in my ears. Nevertheless, I know, we will not feel really happy if that is the only condition we have. Feeling happy all the time will make happiness lose its charm. We sometimes need to feel sad too in order that we can really enjoy the happy moments.

 

As a masochist, when you are very busy, like recently, I think I had better take it as it is. Besides, I don't have any other choice, do i?
