Why Everybody Loves Mr. Gecko (At least me!)
Mr. Gecko's small Indian investment company is expanding. His company bought some new software from India and along came an Indian trainer to train the staff for 2 weeks on the usage. Being the trainer's first trip to Singapore, he had ventured to where only tourists holed; nobody offered to take him around and his weekends spent alone in a foreign land. Remembering his days alone in India, Mr. Gecko (who is not really your typical new age sensitive guy) offered his friendly companionship during the trainer's last weekend in Singapore. And he related to me how the trainer's face brightened at the prospect of a good companionship and accepted his invitation gladly.
I know Mr. Gecko had a slew of activities over the past few weekends and that weekend happened to be the one free slot which he was looking forward to just, rest. In fact, he contemplated canceling the appointment and it was sheer determination that made him followed through his promise. Mr. Gecko never like to disappoint.
A small incident like today, sending him off at the gate to meet this Indian trainer makes me feel like the happiest girl on earth. Strange, you say? How can one aptly describe a girl's bliss while she savored in the lore of her man's merited character?
I know nobody will believe me if I declare I do not suffer from Geckophrenia nor do I ever try to dispel any doubts others have of my declaration. It's a free world and I do act like a fanatic at times. Given that we chose each other as the other half, I am naturally more inclined to commit the universal offense, swooning over him and all though I had calmed down slightly since.
Sometimes, especially these days after being together for a number of years, I can and do forget why he is my chosen one. It is easy for anyone to take someone too close for granted. Life falls into place and couplehood becomes a lifestyle rountine. It's like... both of us walk down a street and our hands will automatically link. Kinda mechanical feel. I seldom wonder why or to take pride in such couple acts anymore.
All thanks to a mere incidence, I learn to recount the blessings in my life in little ways.
