Hi & Bye

Friday night while rushing to meet my friend…I ran into one of my housemates from the Australia days. I saw him from far…I wonder if he noticed me. He was with his wife…by the way I wasn’t invited to the wedding. Not many from those days were invited…in fact I only knew of one who went to the wedding. Anyway…as I walk towards the couple…I looked him into his face waiting for him to looked my way…and we can say our hellos and how’s it going…but it didn’t happen…he looked the other way the whole time. Did he really not see me or was he trying to avoid? Maybe he really didn’t notice and I should have called him. Then again we were so close and yet he didn’t see me…what are the chances?

The whole bunch would meet up regularly for dinners and updates but he always shuns from the gathering…until up to a point where we stop calling him altogether. It would be a waste of time calling someone whom we know will not respond. What happened to those days? Did he not recall or was he not there at all? Did he make friends there or was it just mere socializing? At least a hi when you run into each other on the streets. What can I say…maybe I linger too much... for him its just hi and bye.
