Pearl closed her eyes for a minute and she fell in a trance. Her mind was cast back to 31st night, when she was praying to God for a heaven sent boyfriend. She had enjoyed single life, now she was thinking of settling down. It wasn't as if she didn't have options to choose from, she just wanted someone out of her circle. She was vigilant during that period so she wouldn't miss anything but her expectations weren't met. Then she met Kevin again. She remembered how she could miss Kevin and wished he was around her most of the time. There was a lot of special moments with him, cause they went a long way back to 1st year in the university. And thereafter they had a connection. Their 1st encounter was exceptional, they met on a bus home from school during vacation. They didn't really communicate halfway through the journey. It was after a funny scene in the movie they were all watching in the bus. They began chatting as and when, until they got to their destination, exchanged numbers and that was how it all began. There was a movie premier of a particular movie they both loved and decided to go watch, and that was their 1st time meeting up. They could chat on phone non-stop and all that. School resumed and they saw more and more of each other. He visited her often. Seemed they spent most of their time with each other. It really felt special, but undoubtedly they had their rough times. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and fell out of the trance. Kevin was now out of her life. They had broken up, cause she didn't feel she was happy. It was a risk she took, with no regrets though. She had learnt to live without him anyway, cause it got to a time he wasn't really there when she needed him. She's learnt a lot from Kevin, and she was grateful she met him. Now it was time for her to move on. Moving on comes with it's own stress as well, she thought and laughed.
