This Story Has Reached Its Climax

Was at Play with the usual bunch on Friday; where I was introduced to this guy by the name of Danial. He was also introduced to me as the guy Raihan was dating.

We (all) drank and danced the night away. Barely hours after getting to know him, I soon realized that Danial wasn't exactly on good terms with alcohol, because he got drunk only after a couple of drinks! Haha!

Anyway, one thing led to another, and before I knew it, we were both dancing together on the podium. At that point, the dance pretty much meant nothing to me because he was the guy Raihan was dating, or so I thought; but I shan't get into details about that. With all due respect to Danial, I'm sure you guys can pretty much guess where I'm going with this.

Moving right along, while we were at the smoking area, something happened. No, make that 2 things.

First of all, Danial and I kissed. I'm sure you guys saw this coming the moment I first mentioned his name, right? Haha! But no, seriously, it wasn't something I had planned on - It just happened!

Well, as it may have appeared, my night was going well. Near perfect, if I could say so myself. Then came the plunge.

"You wanna know something? I think I kinda like Farid; and from the signs he's been showing, I think he kinda likes me too."

If there were a moment where I'd willingly stand before a moving train, that would be it! I mean, here's a guy whom I was introduced to as Raihan's "current" beau, and here he is barely hours after our first introduction, had his tongue in my mouth!

If you think the picture's not screwed enough as it is, wait - it doesn't end there! Here he is again, barely minutes after having his tongue in my mouth, and vice versa, telling me that he "kinda likes" the guy I've been deeply in love with; not to mention, been crying myself trying to get over, for the last few months!

As what Megan Mullally's character in Will & Grace once said, "Which lever do I pull to get hit by a safe??"

That pretty much screwed my entire night. I left him at the smoking area with Buzar and went back into the club - crying, yet again.

After much self-persuasion, I decided that I will not let another bullet to the heart affect an, otherwise, wonderful night out. Siti, being the darling that she is, decided to cheer me up with booze, and last drink definitely hit me at the right spot!

After clubbing, Danial, Ewan, Aliff, Buzar and myself decided to hang around at Maxwell to chat till morning. We shared lots of intersting stories about ourselves, and though it got deeper by the minute, we didn't stop. Then came the bonus-round, lottery-striking question: "What's the whole deal between Farid and I?"

That was when I decided to bring Danial over to another table and tell him everything that has happened over the last few months - both good and bad.

Yes, Farid was never mine to begin with. We were never in a relationship, neither did we ever date; but over the past few months, there I was in the background - still holding on. Still waiting for him to have a change of heart. Still waiting for him to be ready, and even Danial agreed that that's more than a good-enough reason for me to be affected by his revelations.

I told him everything that he needed to know - how we first met, when I first realized I was in love with him, how I tried to prove my sincerity to him, how everyone then saw him leading me on - so on and so forth.

He then went on to tell me everything I needed to know about whatever that was going on between him and Farid. From the "signs" that Farid was apparently showing, it became clear to me that those "signs" Danial had mentioned of were similar to what Farid had showed me then.

It was then that I realised that the whole Danial-Farid skit was turning into a remake of the whole Maman-Farid episode. In that instance, I also realized that it was my duty, if you will, to break it to Danial - It's not worth it.

I shall talk about the ramifications of our conversation in my next post, but for now, let me just leave by saying that knowing of this whole Danial-Farid skit has brought upon the same result as when I first knew of the things Adi did behind my back - I have completely moved on.
