Sadness Part 1
It was a normal week for our family till the Husband dropped a bombshell on the Wife. It went like this. Or something to that effect.
On the bed just before bedtime..
Husband: Oh yah.. there's something I need to tell you.
Wife: Uh huh?
Husband: Company's sending me and 2 other Chinese guys from my team to France for a course.
Wife: Oh? (in her head: What?!?!)
Husband: It's a small city actually. Toulouse. Heard the place is real boring.
Wife: When?? Can i come along?? (in her head: And Hilman too?? We'll be good!! We promise!!)
Well anyway, the Husband will probably be sent to France in Sept. He may have to spend the beginning of Ramadhan in France, looking at the current plan. Won't be surprised if there will be changes along the way. I am quite familiar with their so-called system.
Sigh.. It sure dampens my mood man. Sure, there are some nights we arent together due to his work nature. But at least we get to have breakfast or lunch or supper together. Looking back, we have never been apart since we wed.
I would love to tag along with Hilman. But I just dont think it is a wise choice. Firstly, he will after all be on course almost the whole day. I will be bored to bits if me and Hilman are confined to the hotel room for a whole day. It's ok if we are in a country where people speak English. But France? Cos at least we'll have the tv to watch. And knowing myself, I would probaby venture out with Hilman during the day. Heck! Bet even Barney will be in French. Not to mention, what's a vacation when you cant eat or drink?
So I would rather save that money on a real vacation instead. Although I am gonna miss you like crazy.
So Husband, as a good wife like always, I give you my blessings although it's with a heavy heart. What am I gonna do without you?? Gawd. I can imagine Hilman will also be confused when the Daddy suddenly goes away for such a long period. Hey! We have never been apart so 10 days is considered an eternity for us.
Usually I look forward to birthdays. And ironically it is the Husband's birthday next in September. Now i am just dreading it.. :(
