2/14. Valentine day. It was a day crafted by business genius to seize profit by making full use of the event which suppose to mean for thoughts of the loved one. I can bet almost if not all business are grabbing this golden day for business. Restaurant and gifts & flower shops must be full of orders.
I did not buy you any flowers nor any gift when visiting you. I really hope you were not the same as of those who "greatly showing-off" with the gifts or flowers on their arms while walking meaninglessly inside the mall. I also could not remember if we did really celebrate any Valentine day. But every now and then, we were together without failure and I believed every moment of us together will be our valentine days.
At night, I had both kids as my accompany for the golden Valentine night. I informed the kids that tonight was Valentine nights and explain the meaning to them. And they gave me two rare questions which I choked on words to reply them... "why mommy is not with you?" "why you do not have a valentine?"
It took an extended moment to get us served with the orders although we were clever enough to dine at a normal "kopitiam". While waiting, the kids asked why there were so many dressed up girls and walking around. I followed their eyes and start observing... ya, there were quite a number of couples and the girls were "slightly" dressed up. It was a night for thoughts of the other half and I wish all couples will be granted with happiness and I wish the couples after tonight will understand more of the meaning of relationship and rommance. It was not meant as to show off with how exclusive the dinner was, how many flowers received, what gifts presented, what cars the guys are driving, how handsome is my boyfriend etc. Valentine means the thoughts of other half at any occasion.
I texted a few friends of mine and I was delighted as I was still manage to get responses.
After all, it was just another night without any special meaning without you around. But I will remember you have given me a special gift and I deeply know I was the one you fully in love. And I already have a great valentine. And she is you.
Thankyou my dear SooKing, my wife.
