The Way We Were

Recently I'm into a drama, titled 'The Way We Were', Its Chinese name is 'Sixteen Summers' (16个夏天).

It's been a long time since I've watched drama or movie through TV channel. That I will feel to wait for it, and watch it when it's the time.

The story is about a gang of 5 friends. JiaNi (Ruby) loves WeiDe and WeiDe loves her too, but they always miss the chances getting together throughout 16 years. They have other 3 friends, JunJie that loves JiaNi. GuoQing that loves RuiRui. And RuiRui that loves JiaNi (yes, lesbian).

It's complicated. And it's sad ending too.

16 years ago, 1999, JiaNi and WeiDe confessed to each other by hinting but never passed the message to one another successfully. JunJie got injured for saving JiaNi. Thinking that himself cannot give happiness to Jiani, and thinking that JunJie can give her better life, WeiDe cowardly stepped back and left the gang.

In 2008, JiaNi and WeiDe coincidenly met.
But JiaNi and JunJie got married, and WeiDe had a fiancee.
They still love each other.
It's so sad. They had missed their chance.
JunJie betrayed JiaNi by having sex with RuiRui. JiaNi found out and was very hurt. She confronted RuiRui. RuiRui said she would leave for USA and eventually confessed that actually she loves JiaNi. RuiRui was upset that JunJie loves JiaNi, WeiDe loves JiaNi too, but why cant she love JiaNi too. JiaNi was shocked... and she chose to divorce JunJie...

3 years later...
All of them attended GuoQing's wedding and met again. Both JiaNi and WeiDe became single and available. They once again had the chance. They grabbed the chance I guess...
Too bad WeiDe was diagnosed with cancer. And he's dying soon. I'm not sure when they got married. but I know they were together when he was dying. They were holding hands when he left.

Even after WeiDe died, he prepared gifts for his wife. He actually wrote blog for his love since long time ago. There was a part which I found very touching. That he said.

Missing the chances is beautiful because it makes them to believe that they are really the ones for one another. Although they keep missing each other, they really really love each other.

There was also another part very touching. That she said during his funeral.
I don't want to miss him again. This will be the last time I miss him. When we meet again next time, we will be together forever (heaven).

Dear, I wish that you and I can be together till we are old. I wish that you and I will love each other forever. In the past, in SMK Methodist, in Kota Kinabalu, in Daro, you and I might have missed chances to meet each other and to love each other and to get together.

But I'm grateful that eventually now we have found each other. We finally get to see and love each other.

I love you, my love.
