once upon a time, there lived jack & jill in a land far, far away. the story goes that, jack first got to know jill during their study days. they were not exactly close during that time, due to a number of reasons. its not that jack didnt notice jill at that point of time, but maybe jack was pre-occupied with his studies or maybe jack was smitten with some other girl. jill was also with someone else. so their meeting was rather limited.

well, thats all in the past now. fate has brought both of them together. its funny how fate plays a part in it. when it seems that all of jack’s hope is lost, comes along jill in the picture. then jack’s life begins to pick up again. jack has found a new purpose in life, new meaning to each day. jack cant really describe when he begins to have feelings for jill, but does it matter anyway? it could be due to jill’s sincerity, for being there during jack’s time of loneliness. to fill the empty space which have long being left void.

maybe words cant describe how jack is falling head over heels over jill. is there anything to describe and measure something which is subjective, such as friendship and/or love? theres a malay proverb which goes, "tak kenal maka tak cinta". maybe before this jack didnt know who jill really was, but after awhile, jack can definitely ’see’ for what jill is worth. and like ronan keating’s famous lyric which goes, ‘You said it best, when you say nothing at all’. its more than words can describe.

or maybe jack doesnt really know how or what he feels for jill at the moment. maybe jack is as confused as jill. but is it wrong? to like jill for no specific reason? to take care of jill more than what friends are meant to be? theres a big question mark there on jack’s real intention in all this, and frankly speaking, jack doesnt know how to explain it. could it be real, or just a feeling that will pass on with time?

it may seem as too sudden since jack just got to know jill again after a lapse of a few years. even jill was taken by surprise after jack pour his feelings to her. jill thought it was just some kind of a prank. jack cant blame jill for it. after all, how can jack taken a liking for jill, when they have never even share a proper conversation face to face?

we dont know what the future holds for us. thats why our gift to each other is the ‘present’. we only have the present. we only have now and today. but all jack can promise to jill is to take care of jill while he’s still alive. to share the ups and downs with jill. but until to what extent, who knows. up until the pedestal of marriage? until they have their own children and grandchildren? in footballing terms; ‘on loan with a view of a permanent move with a fee’.

changes have to be made, and sacrifices too. the issue of distance is a challenge. provided theres a give n take between them, a win-win situation can be drawn out with proper planning. the issue of having enough money to actually make things work is being finalised. all jack asks is for 2 years.

so in the end, the choices we make today will have an impact on the life we lead tomorrow. jack’s mind is made up for the short-term. wonder how jill will react to all of this…

-why, it’s ok, to fall in love again? it’s all we have to live, whenever i’m unseen, i blame it on myself-
