On February 14, 2007, at exactly 2:00 in the afternoon, an unfamiliar man approached me at the collecting booth and told me that a certain “Boy” is waiting outside. I was at a loss for I don’t remember any friend named “Boy”. I thought he was crazy and must have got the wrong person. Then for some reason I remembered Gill, so I rushed outside and checked who this “Boy” is. What I saw was a pleasant surprise. 

I saw Gill waiting in a car. 

So I went to him, made some small talk - really awkward actually - if not embarrassing. He invited me to go somewhere, any place I fancy and, to my surprise, I agreed. Before we left the port, I asked him if I could take along my friend Donna with me. He agreed, thank goodness, because honestly, I still feel uncomfortable going-out with him. 

We went to Oslaw Beach Resort and while on the road, Gill told to me the reason why he asked me to go out with him. He told me that he has this friend in the states – a broken hearted guy. He’s so concerned with his friend’s predicament; he asked me if I could possibly write him, you know, make friends with. I thought he was joking but he seems serious, really. So I gamely said yes. There’s no problem in trying after all.
