Part 1: How it all started
I was in a rush that day. There’s an event in the office and each team had a theme need to re-create. Our assigned tasked was to make a formation in Star Wars theme. Props and other star wars stuff was on my line, and since the program will start in the morning, I need to be in the office at least before our team will present. I have load of things to bring and I don’t think I can bring it while commuting so I decided to look for carpooling instead. Luckily, it was not that traffic either so the driver came as early as I expected and I’ll be sharing a ride with someone on that day. I don’t want to seat beside the driver since I have lot of stuff to bring and I’m lazy to put seatbelt, so I asked the person whom I’ll be sharing ride if I can just sit beside her. She approved so I seated there right away. I talked to her, saying I’m late and just asked her where is her drop off, good that she’ll be in the near office I’ll be going to. Then I never thought I will get along having conversation with her. Until she was there at her drop off point, and that’s not where we just stop, I had her number so we can still communicate.
Part 2: Lunch
I may describe her as friendly, movie goer and a party-type. I ‘m with my officemates that time, we had short meeting at the other building and since we ended our meeting during lunch time, we decided to go for lunch out. I remembered I still have my share ride number, I asked if she’ll be having lunch too and where will they eat. She replied instantly, so me with my officemates decided to went there. I shared to them my story on which I had a share ride with someone and I want them to meet her too. They don’t even hesitate and get along. So as we go in lane and went to our table, were only 2 seats away from her and with her friends. I want to talk to her again personally but it seems were both busy eating at that time. So I messaged her again if we can have dessert instead. My officemates and her companions that day agreed so we went to the nearest convenience store. There, I had the chance to talked to her and asked if we can still share ride after work. She accepted so where together sharing ride from morning to after work.
Part 3: Getting to know
It maybe sounds strange but after that day we met, I started to like her. I added her on her social media sites, and became friends with her. We exchange messages and talk sometime. Though I never mention I’m in relationship at that time. Maybe because of my actions toward her, she started to asked lot. I said I just broke up with someone and that’s where I know to myself I’m just making up stories because I’m afraid she might not contact me right away. I did not take consideration of my relationship I have before knowing her. There were confusions and mistakes I’ve done. I went through to some realization and point of view that if I want to take my feelings to another level, I should only choose one. It’s was quite painful on which you’ll choose whom you’ve known for long time or on someone you’ve just met randomly unexpected. I take considered what my ex said to me when we broke up, that I might be needy so I decided to choose who’s near.
Part 4: Us
It’s been months already, when I started to court the one I’m sharing ride with and said yes. She’s more caring and understanding as I expected. She even never fails to excite me on her surprises. Apart that she’s clingy I guess I’m becoming that person too. I welcomed her to my family, and I don’t know where this will lead us. She knows that I’m easy to get bored in relationship, she even get mad if I’m pushing her away. There’s part of me that when it get serious, I back out. Though she changes me in a way not to think negatively even she have lot of random thoughts sometime. I wonder maybe it’s because of me being bipolar. But whatever this may go through, I’ll be always thankful knowing and having her on my weakest and happy moments.
