Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little.
Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
Matured Overnight Part VI
whispered @ Monday, April 18, 2005 by stardusz
Time flew by really fast, Garnet and Blaze were together for almost a year and a half. Beside a little issue of Ace asking Garnet back, which was turned down by her, both Garnet and Blaze were a couple that was envied by many in the class and later in her workplace after both of them graduated.
However, Garnet noticed that Blaze was especially attached to her. So much so that she noticed that Blaze's friends were slowly drifting away from him. Not only that, she felt that Blaze is a conservertive MCP.
He disliked Garnet to wear clothes that were deemed as revealing to him; he always wanted Garnet to wear something of his preference. He tried to control and filter Garnet friends. She was not allowed to befriend new friends escpecially guys. Blaze always wanted Garnet to stay over at his place which Garnet obliged to despite her parents disapproval. Garnet felt bad for not listening to her parents but, because of Blaze, Garnet disappointed her parents time and again. Initially, Garnet brushed it aside and convinced herself that it was because she was Blaze first girlfriend and that was the reason why Blaze was doing so. She also believed that Blaze would change after she proved to him that she would only had an eye for him and no one else.
But soon, Garnet felt that the noose around her neck got tighter and tighter, it got so bad that she felt that she was suffocating and need a breather.
So on one Saturday night, while strolling around Blaze's neighbourhood, Garnet suggested to Blaze that both of them should stop seeing each other for a month and ponder over the relationship.
She told him the reasons for such a conclusion and said that it would be better the both of them to do so. Blaze looked at Garnet in shocked and asked her what happened. She repeated herself and said she was tired. Blaze begged her not to come to such a conclusion and promised that he would change.
"We should face problems together and not to split up, dear... How can you leave me like that. I really love you. Really, I do. Please don't go. I can't live without you." Blaze cried.
"But, look at you, your friends, didn't you noticed something? They are drifting away from you. This is because you are always with me and that is not good. Your circle of friends is getting smaller and smaller. It's a bad sign, Blaze. Also, look at me.. Can't you see I am tired?" Garnet told Blaze.
Garnet turned and walked away, Blaze caught up quickly and begged her again. He gave lots and lots of promises, and in the end, Garnet gave in and dropped the idea of splitting up (that's a very bad move, never soften your heart and give-in!!!)
Things seemed to have improved in some way. Blaze seemed to have changed somewhat. They seemed to be a pair of happy lover once again. But somehow or rather, Garnet felt that her love for Blaze was not as intense as it was before. The love for him in her had simmer down quite a bit.
Some months after the splitting-up incident, Blaze enrolled himself in a distant-learning degree course. He told Garnet he wanted to get a degree while doing his national service so that he could obtain a degree earlier then his peers. He also told Garnet that by obtaining the degree he could provide a better life for her when both of them gets married. Garnet was happy to hear that and was very supportive of his decision. To show her support, Garnet would meet Blaze up nearby his school whenever Blaze had lessons, accompanied him when need to burn midnight oil for an assignment or test and encouraged him whenever he need one.
Time flew... Garnet had been out working in the society for almost 2 years. Blaze was about to complete his National Service and his degree course as well, however, in order to be able to graduate from the University, Blaze was required to fly over to the University, in UK, and study a 3-week course there before attaining the degree certificate.(and yes, the real test has come for the couple) The couple did alot of planning and preparation for Blaze's 3 week stay in UK.
Garnet felt something amiss about Blaze's trip to UK. She felt that Blaze leaving the country equate to leaving her for good. This weird thought kept bouncing to and fro her mind and everytime this feeling bounced to her mind she brushed it aside and ignored it... (never distrust your own instinct, it was there for a reason)
