5th tranche and...?
So today I had to meet Jin to give her the fifth tranche and continue the lie.
At lunch I changed into my gym gear and went to the bank to withdraw $5000. As I was walking to her apartment, she called me, and I said I'd be there in a minute and asked her to come down. When I arrived there was some renovating being done on the entrance so I just walked through a door that was made open for people coming in and out, and sat on the couch.
She came down soon after and sat next to me. I asked if she was hungry and she said she hadn't eaten, but I said I didn't have money for lunch, showing her only my $10 in my wallet. She asked if I was going to basketball and I said yes. She asked where it was and I said The Rocks, and asked if she knew where it was. She said no and I asked if she remembered where we went for pancakes and she said yes.
I said I was impressed with her on Sunday night, and she asked why. I said because she went a whole night without smoking. She said she sometimes did that in Korea. I told her I said to Ash he could borrow my car if he needed to take Suri's parents around and she said she knew. I asked if Ash had gone back to Perth and she said she didn't know as she was staying with Jin Ju.
I gave her the envelope and said that was the last one until I found a new job. She nodded. I again asked if she wanted lunch. She thought about it and said she couldn't use the money in the envelope as that was for Korea.
She said she wanted to go shopping for groceries so she could make food tonight for our picnic tomorrow. I said good because I originally thought she wanted to go clothes shopping, but I told her I had no money. She suggested going tonight and I said ok. I asked her what time the doctor's appointment was tomorrow and she said 10am. The plan was to go see the doctor tomorrow and then we'd go picnic.
I said I had my grand final in basketball tomorrow at 7pm and asked if she wanted to come and she said no.
She said the concierge didn't like people staying at the couch too long so we parted and she went back up to her apartment and I returned to work.
After work I went to the gym, and then on the way home I texted her, sending a picture of Megaman saying that was what I thought of everytime I saw her foot in a cast. I went home and got changed to meet her. I went to the bathroom and then headed out. I checked my messages and they still hadn't been read. I decided to call her to let her know I'd be there in 20 minutes. No answer.
I called her a few more times as I got closer to her apartment. Still no answer. I drove around for a while trying to find parking, and then ultimately settled for the pick up zone right outside her apartment. I called her a gazillion times and there was still no answer. I started to panic.
Has she cut me off because she has received what she thinks is the final payment?
Is this it? Is this really how it ends?
No, it can't be. If she wanted to end things, she'd tell me, not just do the disappearing act. That's not her. Besides, if she had really planned to ditch you, then why the picnic?
Maybe because it wasn't going to be a picnic at all. Maybe she just wanted to use you one last time for some free groceries.
Well ok, if that's true, then why isn't she here for the free groceries and then she could do the disappearing act tomorrow morning? Or even after I pay for the doctor?
And if she really planned to leave me, why did she say no to basketball? Someone lying in that position would just nod and say "yeah yeah whatever".
So at least I had reason with me. I hadn't gone completely paranoid. I think this was a sign of trust that I had built. So my mind started wandering elsewhere.
What if her mother had died and she just got the shock of her life? She did say last time she fainted. What if she killed herself?
I waited till 8:30pm and then left. The thought of going punting or gambling because she had left me did cross my mind, but then I told myself that that wasn't the case.
So what's the deal? Only time will tell...
And I knew something like this would happen. I told Mob today that I had a girlfriend and needed to take tomorrow off to take her to see the doctor, and I just knew that if I made it 'official' by telling people then it would jinx it and things would end. I just fucking knew it.
