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 VIII
whispered @ Tuesday, April 26, 2005 by stardusz
Garnet told herself to remain calm. She left her cubicle and went to the stairway to make an overseas call to Blaze. The call was connected very soon and the phone was picked up.
"Hello, are you Blaze? Garnet here. I received you sms. Could you tell me what went wrong?" Garnet spoke with a trembling voice.
Silence...
"Hello, don't keep quiet. I need an explanation from you," Garnet spoke again.
"I thought I have explained very clearly in my sms that we need to split up and cool down for a while? I, I just have to say sorry but I let you down," Blaze finally broke his silence.
"What let me down? What happened over there? Something happened to you right? When are you coming back, Blaze. I think we need to talk and iron things out," Garnet begun to sound agitated, her voice was still trembling
"Nothing happened here. I am fine and I believe I have explained myself. I don't know when I will be back. I could not get a seat reserved so I think I am staying in UK for a couple more days till they allocate me a seat... I think i got to go. Overseas calls are expensive. Bye," the line went dead.
Garnet was plunged into a bottomless pit of darkness. Garnet wanted to cry, but she the tears seemed to stuck somewhere. She felt a sharp pain in her heart; a pain so strong that she though she might just die from it. Garnet looked around her and realised that colours had abandon her world and threw her in tones of black, grey and white.
After standing at the stairways for ten over minutes (But I believe, to Garnet it's like several hours), she decided to went back to her cubicle.
She told herself that this was a dream and she's going to wake up from it soon. But how soon? When will Garnet wake up? She was wide awake when Blaze slapped her hard with those sms.
Cedric, a temp staff in Garnet's office, walked past her cubicle and noticed something was wrong with her (ya, a person who was jilted seems to be easily noticed by others)
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You looks like you have been jilted!" Cedric said cheekily. Garnet ignored him. (Oh man, guys are really dumb at times, isn't it)
Realized that he said said something wrong. Cedric left quickly and went to the pantry. He returned shortly and passed Garnet a note. In the note, Cedric apologized to her and wrote his mobile number so that Garnet could call him.
Garnet kept the note, went over to Cedric and told him she was ok.
"Well, you don't look ok to me at all. You were happily bickering with us during lunch. But now, look at you, you are so glum. Something is wrong. Call me and chat with me, ya? Don't be shy," he winked. Garnet smiled and went back to her table to do her stuff.
When Garnet reached home in the evening, she dropped her bag by the bed, went to the computer, switched it on and logged on to the internet. She was surfing the net, checking her mail when she remembered a site that Cedric intoduced her to visit once.
She went in, and chatted in its forum. People in that forum were friendly, but that does not helped her at all. She was still in pain and the pain seemed to have spreaded all over her body. Garnet decided that she would not let her fmaily knew abouth this break off. She felt that by telling her family about it meant that Blaze had won in this 'game of love'. ((But then, how long can she hide it? Forever seems impossible...)
When her family returned home, Garnet put on a smile on her face and pretended that nothing had ever happened.
Night crept in quietly. Soon, everyone in her family turned in for the night, everyone except Garnet. She could not sleep though she was exhuasted. She went back to her computer and logged in to the site again. There, she told the 'world' what happened to her.
Some people mocked, some empathized and some sympathized her. Some tried to cheer her up but Garnet knew that was useless. Her world seemed to be slowing down to die.
Suicidal thoughts flashed across her mind. But Garnet could not bear to do it when she thought of her family. She decided to lived on for the sake of her family.
