THE piece of paper..

as i am sitting in front of this computer typing away,2 of my friends are facing 2 different kinds of decisions that somehow is related to a piece of paper. the difference is that 1 is the pree and 1 is the post of a sequence.

the marriage paper and the separation paper.

***

she faces 2 guys - a guy she loves for years, stood by him & giving him all the support. but he is always causing her hurt & unhappiness. the other guy is always giving her the attention, stable in career and new to her. now her bf proposed to her as she is standing at the crossroad, deciding to either dump the luggage at crossroad and move forward or carry on carrying the luggage and drag it along, hoping that she has made the correct decision.

can the leopard change his spots?

***

he married the woman that he thought she was the one for him at that point in time. but she failed him, breaking his heart. all that linked the both of them is a house - a house that they have never stayed before, a house that was once filled with their hopes. with each of them found new purpose in their life, they come to a point to sign the separation paper.

***

then i wonder what significance has the marriage paper left? is it just a "passport" to get a new flat? where has all the vows that was made in front of the jp? was it meant to be broken? how can 1 be sure to follow through all the promises that were being made for life?
