The Pact

Being a female in her twenties, sometimes I thought about the possibility of settling down earlier in life. Different people have different definition of settling down and my definition of settling down would be, getting married, have kids and run the household. After getting off a quite long engagement, I started to think that my clock is ticking, that I don't have much time fooling around in life. And as always, a thousand 'what ifs' question pop-up in my mind, things like 'what if I didn't meet anyone special? or what if I'm still single in 10 years time?'.

Lately, I've been talking alot to a male friend of mine, which I've known for about 4-5 years. He has helped me a lot during the past few painful months and one day, we got to the topic of my 'what ifs' question. After a few hours of talking, we came up with a crazy idea.. we decided to make a pact.

The pact.. 'If I'm still single by the time I'm 30 years old, we're gonna marry each other'.

So.. I guess now I'm 'safe', I've got myself a backup-future-husband in which he refers as 'ban serep'.. and I won't be those old-woman who never gets married and live alone with her pet dog. Hahaha. But, I do hope that he and I will find someone and settle down before that.. hopefully it won't be like in the movie, My best friend's wedding where I'd try to ruin his wedding. Wouldn't want that to happen.

Ps: If u're reading this, I would like to express my gratitude to you for being 'there' for me all this time. :)
