Ignorance is bliss

Yesterday I went to visit Aaron. I was surprised to find him looking healthy. He doesn’t look sick to me. I felt cheated by his mum. I remembered his mother was saying how sick he was on Sunday.

I presumed he’s not physically sick rather his mentality. We had nothing much to talk about. I thought absence makes the heart grows fonder, apparently for us is absence makes the heart grows further. I felt we are drifting very far apart. The good new – we don’t quarrel, because we don’t even have anything to communicate.

I regretted my decision to visit him. Ignorance is bliss is very true in this case. Casually, I asked him of his health, and encouraged him to take a walk outside (he has been copping in his room or house for over a month already). He brushed aside, giving excuses that he needs to rest. A lazy person will gives a million excuses just to delay thing.

We fell silent and I had to crack my brain to continue the topic. Out of concern, I asked his company position of his long medical leave. He replied that they (his parents and him) have gone to Ministry of Manpower to claim his insurance. He’s very certain that his injury is work related, and I’m skeptical about it. I still believe that its partial work related.

Nevertheless, I continued our topic, and asked his plan for the future as I presumed that he will quit his job. I’m correct, as he doesn’t want to return to his job anymore, yet he has no planning for his future.

Actually he’s very contended with his life now (why shouldn’t he?), he has people serving him (foods and drinks are served right to his doorstep) and parents supporting (financially) him. He’s basically living on cloud nine; no way has he wanted to return to the reality.

I’m not surprised either as I have told my mum earlier that he will be worse than previous. The sickening part – he actually ask his father to drive his car (his father has his own too), and refused to allow me to use (ignoring the fact that we travel during the weekends and he also never provide much for us too). This proved how much trust we have of each other. Money can sees a person true color……

Once again we have nothing to talk, and I left shortly. I left with utter disappointment as well as disgust. He deliberately dragged not only his job but also the divorce hearing. At least, I know his strategy, thus I’m able to give firm instruction to my lawyer. This is going to be the last adjournment and I want it to be before National Day.

A lot of feeling crossed within me, thus I called Alex out for a chat. I’m fortunate to have friend staying near me and supportive friends as well. I felt a lot better after releasing my frustration and doing a little shopping. Shopping therapy to a certain extent is helpful.

From here, I know Aaron has never move forwards, but I have. We are 2 different world colliding with each other, and nothing good will comes out of it......But they don’t see that……….
