Happy Together

This morning I was woken up by a phone call from Kavern. No, I no longer need a wakeup call or an alarm clock anymore since I quit my job. Being able to sleep as much as you want is a form of luxury (well at least for me). Kavern asked me to have breakfast. Of course, for Kavern, I’ll do anything cos we don’t get to see each other often. I really wish that our paths would cross more often. The last time we got together was two years ago after he went for brain surgery, in the process of recovery and going through radiotherapy. Yeah, we only see each other in pretty extreme circumstances. This time the brain cancer has come back on him.
Here I am again, finding myself at my sister’s apartment in Penang on the 6th floor while Kavern is on the first floor. We are not just friends, we have become neighbors again. I have known Kavern for more than 10 years. When I first met him, he told me that he felt like he had known me in his past life. I laughed when he told me that but now I do believe that. Our fates were always intertwined during the periods when we felt the whole world had fallen on us.
Here we are, happy together again and I wish the time would just stop right here….
