:: That Should Be Me ::

Last weekend was interesting.  I have a second cousin (the son of me mom's cousin) who has a daughter about my age.  Well she’s younger…  Yeah okay, she’s a lot younger.  She’s about Jed’s (the soon-to-be bridegroom) age but she’s already married and has a kid about a year old.  When we were a lot lot lot younger, we somehow knew that Jed had a crush on her.  How much?  We just couldn’t measure but we knew.  They used to swap letters and postcards, knick knacks and souvenirs.  

The reason I claimed last weekend interesting was because she visited us together with the hubby and her kid and also her parents.  Since Jed left for Leeds I think it was the first time they met.   I dunno what happened to them when suddenly I heard that she was getting married.  I guess out of sight of mind?  

She’s residing in Labuan now following the hubby and she wanted to meet Jed since she could not attend his wedding which is just less than a month now.

I suppose she didn’t tell the hubby about her and Jed were close before because I couldn’t see the oh-so-you-were-the-guy-that-my-wife-told-me-about look when he chatted with Jed.

Later when they were about to leave, she passed the kiddo to her parents and the hubby held her hand and walk towards the car, I gave Jed a glance.  They weren’t looking but I saw Jed was looking at him holding her hand and I swear to God I saw the that-should-be-me look on Jed’s face.  Obvious giler.

While he still stood there at the driveway watching the car made a turn (pathetic ain't it?), I whispered slowly into his ears “I  couldn’t believe what I just saw”.
