A Time of Disappointment

After long haul of expectation, overnight before the event, I let myself well-prepared. In the sense I postponed all other conflicting activities, just for the focus my attention of bringing up my visitor to witnessed our church activities.

Even the shadow of doubt was not put in my mind the night after I confirmed to her about our agreed time. I remembered that I felt so good especially when I heard from my brother that the topic was in time for the guests.

I personally arranged my preset schedule about an activity that I supposed to lead or socializing by giving all the necessary financial support from food to fare and talked somebody to oversee and to do my obligation.

After my worship service in our locale, I hurriedly went out to make it sure I would be early before my visitor. I gave her a text message that I would be waiting at the near gate and be fine to give me a message as long as she arrived in the church.

The time agreed was 2:00pm and I arrived at 2:30pm. Minutes was passing by so fast that kept my eyes turning around to see her. A minute ago I saw a lady dropping down the taxi, I was happing to the thought that she was what I was waiting for. But the opposite happened, it was just a look-alike with my visitor.

Suddenly I noticed a text message in my cellphone and caught into my eyes, a message asking another time, owned by my visitor. I couldn't explained my feeling at the moment of what should then an appropriate response to the said text message.

It took me about 15 minutes to give a reply, that stated with courteous manner, that it was okay to me and asking her of how could I help her.

I couldn't hide my feeling of disappointment because I spent more time to the extent I was waiting her long and coming from a distance.

What I did was?
I let talked myself secretly that there was reason behind why this happened. I that would be I should discover. For the meanwhile, I diverted my thought by spending my time eating at the roadside - "Pungko-Pungko", that helped me to think differently.

I went home at a neutral emotion especially the time I woke up after a long rest of sleep. Really time is the solution for every disappointmen or despair that might happen to my life. The thing that I should be grateful about is that I could easily cope up any bad situation by just letting the time passed.
