For those who knows this song would immediately understand what this story will be about. Based on a true story inspired by real events.
John opened his bank book and the balance was only $20. How would he live on for the rest of the month? He had spent / sent every penny he had on Pom. His fiancee. They had a house in Bangkok. And Pom was not working. He had a full time job and also he freelanced just to earn that extra bit of cash. He needed to feed his fiancee and also give allowance to his own parents as well.
He knew this wasn't going to flourish. He knew she would not love him as much as he did. He knew that it was almost going to be one sided. He knew. But he just couldn't bear the thought of leaving. He knew the dark secrets lurking behind the walls. But he couldn't react. All he was thinking was she would reciprocate his feelings and change one day.
It has been three years since he was 'married'. They held a wedding ceremony in Thailand but the worse part was he was the only Singaporean there. Whilst having the ceremony, Pom was only busy entertaining her own friends, leaving him sitting alone on the whole table.
John didn't invite me to his wedding as I was puzzled. We were great buddies who shared everything with one another.
John stopped coming to our gatherings. He was always having excuses either about work or suddenly having fever or some weird happenings until one night my phone beeped.
John: Max. Can you come out for a while?
Max: Ok. Where?
John: Same old place.
John lost so much weight. He picked up smoking and drinking and reeked heavily of alcohol.
John: You are here. Sit.
Max: You ok John? You looked bad.
John: Bad? Hahahaha. Its an understatement.
He said as he gulped the mug of beer down in one shot, he raised his hands for another.
