Out Of Love Again But Contented At That

Strange that T.J would always be grinning away when Sherry took to the concourse with me,in fact every time that I was in the Dancing Hall. How could a contemporary club enthusiast be smirking incessantly in a joget house? Or that he had found another pastime to fill the evenings,he was endowed of course and with plenty of greenbacks to bandy about - that I knew very well of - but he wasn't even prancing,only smiling all the time. And he was alone too and much comfortable in the little corner at the edge of the hall. I on the other hand had an eye for Sherry and actually wanted to propose that very evening. The ring is already purchased - a light and petite gold ring without ornaments and only for asking and would be presented nonetheless even though the girl declined. Oh! How lovely Sherry was,the curves,the movements;making me more and more enamored each time she whizzed and swirled the catchy ditties. Veritably I was in seventh heaven and finds hard to contain my excitement when the time comes to confirm our love. A single girl,she was quite every dangdut fan's dream girl and I feel the luckiest that delightful night. She too felt for me or that I can just sense that and from her words and her eyes. To say that she had mastered the Hostesses art of mystifying is just not fair as she is too young and too beautiful and there is a certain innocence about her - I just know. The songs and the dance stopped for the DJ to take over,alongside the soft sentimental numbers accompanying. Quite hurriedly I made my way to our table with Sherry strolling nonchalantly behind but lo and behold T.J was already seated there. Why was he at the table since I did not even invite him let alone talked to him each time I noticed him in the hall? But being an acquaintance and from a while back, I smiled and even acted surprised over his sudden appearance. Being always jolly,he was laughing all the way but earnestly said sorry for intruding alongside a couple of times mentioning so. Sherry was strangely quiet and positioned herself immediately beside T.J at the table. Although nothing was said but I had correctly guessed that T.J had proposed first and I was a bit late and for a second or two before T.J asked. Sherry even confessed to that. However I was not too surprised and even took things happily as T.J was always the nice chap and never confrontational nor threatening and I quite respect him. He wanted to make an honest woman out of Sherry and so did I but being fair to her - she deserved the finer man. And one who was better prepared to start a new life. I even attended the wedding.
