Beginning
On this new year day, I'm here with my cat. The Man has gone to play badminton from 10.30am - 1.30pm and 2 - 5 pm. He said he can't change the timing or do a no-show else he will be blacklisted. Apparently he doesn't mind appearing in mine.The night before new year eve, he happily busied himself in the kitchen marinating chicken thighs for the BBQ with his classmates the next day. It doesn't matter to him if I go along. Perhaps even better if I don't. The next day, he had bothered to pick up his classmate who lived a few blocks away from us but cannot change the timing so as to pick me up from the nearest mrt station despite it pouring heavily. I was that important. Even his classmate remembered me as he drew the names on his handcrafted cookies. No doubt, the Man ate the cookie with my name on it. In my absence.
Maybe we have grown so tired of finding things to do together. It's easier to go solo than to build a common interest. Feelings subside over time. We will get used to this.
The cat calls. I'm more than happy to oblige its calls to play, just like the Man who is obligated to play badminton today. It's much simpler this way.
