It was just one of nights where I venture out of my HDB nest for dairy shopping. I buy my meat and vegetables online now because I realised FairPrice is not that fair in pricing. Plus there is free delivery when buying online.

I saw a familiar face while I was at the self checkout queue. My heart skipped a beat. He has the same eyes but he’s not him. Too slim to be him. Where have I seen this person, I wondered. Try not to stare. Try not to stare. Try not to stare.

Nowadays, it is so hard to recognise people with a mask on and yet so easy to be antisocial.

Then, I saw a figure I couldn’t miss beside the guy. It’s my friend K! She is one of my closest friend and also one of my bridesmaids.

Ahhhh… Mystery solved. It must be all the couple photos I’ve seen on IG, I thought.

With her busy dating life and my new mummy life, we have not had the chance to catch up properly.

While scrolling through Karen’s photos, wait a minute… Her boyfriend is the younger brother of my ex boyfriend and they are staying across the street from me.

The ex boyfriend that I lost my virginity to. The ex boyfriend that broke up with me while having sex on our 3rd anniversary. The ex boyfriend that still slept with me while he was courting another gal after we broke up. What the hell?!

That being said, I was no angel too.

Small world. Okay, I need to start losing weight if Karen marries this guy.
