My life was quite solitary.
I even was suspected to have autism.
In fact, I didn’t like to be alone.

School hours, tuitions, co-curricula activity, study, eat, and sleep.
Watching television and online were prohibited.
Luckily I had a CD playable radio in my room. That was the only entertainment I had.
I only got my first mobile phone when I was in senior two.

I understood that they wanted me to study hard. Thus, I was quite self-driven.
It was grateful that they won’t disallow me to go out with friends during holidays because I had been being a good daughter.

I wished to have many friends, talked about anything.
I really admired those who were very popular. They had friends everywhere.

Time passed.

Finally I found a bosom friend. The one and only bosom friend I have.
I was so happy that we can share many things as we have same interests, hobbies and views.
To lose my bosom friend, it was something that I didn’t wish ever happen.

Dilatorily, we reclined on each other. He drew us together.

Yes, my bosom friend, my acushla.

My beloved, I am always here. Don’t fear, I will support you.

“Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.”
Song of Solomon 8:6
