What lies inside in a heart of a broken man??

Past weekend was eventful to say the least. It was hectic to the very core.

Saturday wake up early, send the missus to PWFC for Education Fair. Then rushed off to my workplace. By the time i am scheduled to go to my class meeting, a colleague called me up saying that one of our acquintences suffered a mild stroke and currently being admitted at Damansara Hospital. He is only 38 yrs old and never smoke a bud of cigarettes. Control his diet and only drinks plain water. Why he suffers the stroke only god knows la kan...but i suspect that since he is a soft spoken man and never fight his ground, he kept all in anger inside slowly building up stress mentally. Still, luckily he is still young and hopefully mend his ways later on...why keep your emotion bottle up la kan, just say what you wanted to say...and get on with your life. We Malays are too "sopan santun" in terms of saying the brutal truth.

After that i rushed off to my class which has already started ....i rushed to do the transaction and table up the whole journals. By the time we finished the journals, it was time to play futsal. We are already late as it is for i have to ship severals of my classmate to the place as well. Played like a crazy horse for two hours and ruptured some muscle as well due to lack of warming session, but it goes with the territory la kan. Win by massive margin but clumsy in defence at times.

After that had a long conversation with my friends abt relationships and the way forward. I have little knowledge of the trials and tribulation in being a couple in yuor working life. I met my partner since high school and never looked back ever since..so it wasnt run of the mill love story ler. But my friends seem to have difficulties settling down la kan...some has been in a relationship for more than 7 yrs but currently in a turmoil because of presence of a third party. The sense of betrayal that he felt cannot be measured by me or anyone else. Only he knows...

The other is also in a similar state. He met his soulmate in his university days. It is said by those who knew him then that he is hardly seen without his girlfriend around. Everywhere he goes...she will be there. It was believe that they are THE ITEM la kan....she's being one year younger than him...so brotherly and sisterly.

But after he worked for a year and the girl graduated, things turn sour. The girl started demanding things that he can't hardly provide and the girl family especially the older sister started to backstab him as well saying that should she marries the guy, her life will be a misery. She was confuse and unaware that he is also alienating him as well. The mum decided to steps in...being the matchmaker and marries her off with one of her wealthy friends.

My friend was distraught to say the least...in fact he was devastated.

Till now he cannot maintain a long relationship...I can practically sense fear in his tone and unwillingness to talk abt relationship. He is good looking mind you but history seems to be a bridge too far for him. Even if he meet some girls that he fancies, the relationship turns bad after a couple of weeks. Failure to reach her via phone was instantly diagnosed as a signed that she is seeing a another man. So he is at best touch a go.

So what lies in heart of a broken man? May be it is so dark that even a glimpse of light is becoming uncomfortable even for a moment. Or Perhaps it is like a spring of eternal bleeding. Becoz so many writes abt a broken heart of a woman, i need to write abt theb heart of a broken man. What man cannot have their heart broken ker?? Muahahhahahahah......

Becoz women suka cerita/write 'bout their broken hearts. With that, they feel better. Keluarkan at least 50-60%. Left inside only 40-50%. Otherwise, men tend to keep everything inside for only God knows the reason. Simpan semua inside - 100% for the rest of his life. Memang ler sakit... Entah le. Ego ke hapa, tak tau la kan..

guys selalunya terlalu nak control macho kot. baru buat apa nak simpan2 takut org tahu kalau kita jujur dgn diri sendiri, citer je la kat sapa2 yg kita percaya. at least the burden inside you will subside.
