Pucca's Last Day

Today is Pucca's last day.
I would be lying if I say I don't feel sad.
I just refused to give myself a chance to dwell on my sadness.

Still remember the 1st day she joined the company, she looked like a lost little girl in kindergarden. Not too long later she showed us her confident side.
She was such an energetic girl filled with the eagerness to learn & willingness to explore new ground.

Unfortunately the culture of our organisation wore her off over the last 3 years.
Everyday she has to put up with irresponsible behavior of some managers/colleagues.

Later things got worsed when she was betrayed by someone who was supposed to be closed to her. It was the darkest period during her employment with our company.

Then it was as if God's trying to tell her "Girl, there's other things in life that's worth living for". She survived Tsunami. Yes she scared the hell out of me, out of her whole family but God let her come back to us.

Before leaving for Phuket that Dec after Xmas, she was determined to start 2004 right, to have a better year ahead. After her returned from Tsunami, she was more determined to let go of the past & live a more meaningful life.

Though there were times the past catches up with her, she would feel down she would questioned me over & over again why some people can just behaved the way they behaved & walkaway without feeling a single bit of guilt. I might not be able to comfort her every time or give her the answer she wants to hear, I made her drink with me, hee hee.

Until 1 day she declared that I'm her ad-hoc drinking buddy :)

There used to be 3 of us who were closed. Pucca, me & MV.
Among us Pucca & MV were closer & MV & I were closer.
I think among us, I'm the blur queen. I didnt even know when unhappy stuff happened between them until one day I can't Pucca's sad face anymore, I asked her what happened.

Only then she opened up to me. And only then we put our pieces together.
Only then we both realised we have been fooled by MV. Or should I say I was a bigger fool since I didn't even spot it. Yes MV betrayed her. Betrayed me. Betrayed our trust, our friendship.

But it's ok. God has a plan for everyone of us, right? Yes!
If not because of the betrayal incident, I won't became closer to Pucca. Then I won't know her understand her as much as I do now. I found a friend in Pucca.

Pucca is more sincere more down to earth maybe sometime abit lost of what she wants in life but she sure know what she doesnt want. She's caring & encouraging & fun to be with. She's also generous & kind @ heart. Opps does that make her sounds like an angel, she sure is.

I always believe:

Friends are angels sent by God.
Some angels quietly accompanied you when you are down.
Some angels celebration your success & joy.
Some angels left after a short period of time.
Some angels stayed for a long long time.

Pucca dear, you are an angel that I hope you'll stay for a long long time cos I'll.
