Greeting: How are you?
It’s a simple greeting when we meet each other. “How are you?” and one will reply with,”I’m fine. Thanks.” There ends the conversation or perhaps continue with other topic.
How-are-you, I’m-fine, seems to be a perfect couple. I mean I never heard someone said,”No, I’m not fine” and rant about his life. We always say I’m-fine and move on. It’s a rare thing that one would like to elaborate more on this I’m-fine words. Say,”I’m fine, I’ve done with my last paper.” or “I’m tired. Lot’s of work to be done.” Like this also cannot? Bah.
Whatever. I’m just not in a good condition. I thought I’ve recovered but nope. There is so many red spots/mark on my arm, palm, and leg. My bones are pain. I keep on fill in my healthcare cart with medicines. Thank God it’s not dengue. But still, I’m so tired. I heard that this is the ‘in’ sickness at the time. -__-”
What a week! And it’s two days to my departing day. I can’t be going with red marks on my arms and legs. I could probably be accused for bringing weird disease to the country. Okay, okay, I’m too much. All I want is just a healthy body and fully charged me. Nothing else. For what if I have money and lots of work, but I am sick. That’s just not worthy. Sigh.
And when you are sick and sien, you expect more attention and seek care from your loved one. But what, he was way too busy with his work and life that he seems to be missing. We’ve been losing contact for days. Is it very hard to pick the phone, go to new message and type “How are you? Have you recovered yet?” something like that? Oh, so he forgot because he was loaded with very important work and very tired? Okay, a good reason, so work is more important than someone’s health and life. Great! I was and am expecting too much.
