Are You Really Selling Your Bike…?

Today is Kaka’s eldest daughter’s wedding day. I was surprised when she has handed me an invitation to her daughter’s wedding lunch.

And the reason I’m surprised? Well, because ever since I grew closer to you as a friend last year, they started distancing themselves from me and even kicked me out of their WhatsApp group. Do you still remember your CCK rumor? The rumor about your husband created a lot of drama in CCK area after catching you for adultery that make you no longer have the face to work grab anymore in CCK area, that’s why you ran to Jurong east to work…

Not many people know that I was the one behind the scene finding out how that rumor started and came up with the story that I pieced together to kill off the rumor through Ah Ji and Allan’s help in spreading my story to save your reputation… but of course, you didn’t know of this…

That was when I 1st trusted Allan and ah Ji. You didn’t know how much I have helped and protected you all this time behind your back… I always wanted to protect your name and reputation as a woman, that’s why even when you want me to prove my love for you and video call Elsa, I still wanted to protect you and not tell anyone about it… but itz my fault to have trusted the 1 person whom has acted like our good brother… Trusting ah ji proved to be the biggest mistake I have ever made. I’m so sorrie Em Yeu, for trusting the wrong person who ended up stealing your money and hurt you…

I’ve arrived at the wedding hall in Bukit Timah Plaza. There I was already greeted by a large crowd of guest who are there to share the happiness and blessings of a newly wed couple.

But when I was there, I kept thinking how it would be like, if you are here with me as my partner? Most of the grab people here already knew we are a couple. To them, both you and me are good hardworking people whom just wants to be happy together… this would be 1 formal occasion where you will be recognized as my partner instead of Elsa…

Cause almost everyone knew or saw what Ah Ji did to us… Everyone can see how hard I work day and night just to clear off my debts…

Em Yeu, you are no longer the woman whom tried to break up my marriage. I already explained to everyone that it was my own choice to tell Elsa the truth because I love you. It is my own choice to keep my promise to you, even if it means elsa will divorce me… and instead of focusing on what you did to me, everyone’s focus is on that asshole who lied, stolen and break both of us up for money…

Anyway, we just spent the rest of the afternoon having some buffet food and dessert, and left after our last group photo with the newly weds.

But after we left the venue, Tim and me was walking towards the bus stop to take bus home, where he suddenly asked me whether I know that you are selling your bike

I was so shocked when I heard that. I asked him where he heard it from and who will be buying from you. He told me that he heard it from one of his friend that he has received an offer for your bike for $500…

In that instant, my own mind and heart has been turned upside down. Thousands and one questions filled my head why you are selling off your precious bike, the partner you have been riding on for the past year, the bike which I have been maintaining and taking care of it together with you for the past half year before we were separated…

Your bike has witnessed the start of our love, and have stayed with us through all rain and shine… it was also on your bike where we had some of our sweetest memories when I rode on it with u in my arms… to me your bike is a part of my Em Yeu…

Regardless, there is no way I would be able to find out the reason why you are selling your bike by myself, so just before I board my bus, I asked Tim to help find out more about your bike:

It seems like the bus journey was never ending, as my mind is simply all filled up with memories of us with your bike…

Do you still remember me taping the dividers inside your old black box…?

Do you still remember me changing your tyre tubbing when it punctured…?

Do you still remember when I changed your seats so many times because of the flip lever bar…?

Do you still remember we traveled all the way to buy a new battery on your bike with you driving…?

Do you still remember when we mount the new rack and box on your bike together in Bukit batok under a block…?

Do you still remember we cutting, banging and installing your main stand under my block…?

Do you still remember me installing your favorite pink or purple mini umbrellas on your bike every time they flew away or spoil…?

Do you still remember how I rode on your bike with you in my arms and send you back to the bus stop near the CCK home before you accompany me to wait for my bus back home…?

Well, I do…. I can still remember every single memories we shared with your bike… that’s why my tears simply flowed down my cheeks on the bus back home when I think about why you would sell away your bike…

*****

After I reached home and changed my clothes for work, I rode to WG, feeling anxious and nervous all the way as I continue running orders…

What if someone else has already bought your bike? What if you are selling your bike because you want to cut all ties and forget about all the memories we share? What if you bike is damaged and you are not able to fix it that’s why you are selling etc? Every min every second a thousand and one why and what if just keep overwhelming my mind…

I pray that I can make it in time. I keep imagining what will happen if I managed to buy over your bike in time… maybe I can get their help to use their name for ownership transfer… Maybe I’ll need to hide your bike somewhere to fix and clean your bike before asking their help to return you the bike for you to use again… Maybe I will keep your bike in my spare bedroom and cover with a big piece of cloth until the day you find out the truth or need me by your side… or maybe i can sit down and look at it whenever I miss you so much…

Finally I saw ah Hua. I quickly ran over to him and check with him what is going on with your bike. I begged him for help and explained to him that there is a huge misunderstanding between me and you right now, so it could be the reason why you are selling off your bike… so before the day when our misunderstanding can be resolved, I want to buy it over so that I can return it to you when the day comes…

Upon hearing that, ah Hua said okie he’ll see what he can do and immediately called his friend who told them that he received the offer for your bike and we split up cause we got orders to send. Just a while later:

Omg, suddenly I can breathe… I was so relieved when we realized it is a false alarm. The bike being offered is Tham’s zebra and not your jimove…

And it turned out to be such a joke. In case you don’t know what is Grab 花 or Grab flower, it simply means Grab Belle. It is a title like School Belle or 校花. It’s usually used to describe the most beautiful or prettiest girl of the school, which in this case, Ah Hua and Tim has always called you Grab Flower cause they don’t know your name and think you are the prettiest girl working in Jurong, while their friend is referring to Tham. That is where the misunderstanding happen when they thought you are the one selling your bike 😂

Despite in the end it’s all just a misunderstanding, once again I went through the sadness and hurt of feeling being thrown away by you today…

My Dear Em Yeu… am I really no longer someone precious in your heart anymore…?
