Twelve Nights

Watched "Twelve Nights" on Channel 8 last night. The story is about how the relationship between a guy and a girl changes as time passes by. Every relationship that the girl has is of the same pattern.

On the first night, the girl used the guy to break up with her boyfriend. After that, the girl cried the whole night and the guy accompanied her through the night.

On the second night, the guy used the girl to break up with her girlfriend. After that, the guy and the girl are an item.

On the third night, the guy called the girl, asking to meet her. The girl refused because the guy had to attend a meeting the next day and she advised him to rest early. They end up talking through the night on phone, with the guy asking to meet her every now and then. They talked till the next morning when the guy brought breakfast for the girl at her house.

On the forth night, the guy and the girl was in the girl's apartment. They were talking about themselves and the girl asked the guy what else about him that she doesn't know. They guy told her he has hepatitis B. The girl was shocked to hear that. She started asking if he had relapses. The guy got angry and stormed off.

On the fifth night, the girl and the guy set off for a holiday because the guy is on leave. The guy asked the girl why do they have to go on a holiday when he is on leave. The girl asked the guy why can't they go on a holiday when he is on leave. While at the train station, they met the girl's ex-colleague. The guy was jealous when the girl and her ex-colleague hit it off so well. While they are alone again, the guy asked the girl if her ex-colleague had wooed her before. She said yes and told the guy honestly that they even had sex before. Obviously, the guy was very angry and they had a heated argument. The train came and the girl threw the magazine she was reading straight in the guy's face before she boarded the train. She sat in the train, silently waiting for the guy to come and comfort her. Instead, she saw him sitting on the bench just like before. She was very angry and turned her head away from the window. When she looked again, the guy was gone. She was so angry she started stomping her feet. The guy was already in the train, sitting in the seat opposite to hers. The guy coughed deliberately to tell the girl that he is already on the train. She saw him and was delighted but she pretended to be still angry with him. The guy joked with the girl and then made her go over to sit with him. The girl was very happy until the guy said, "That's my girl." She started sulking after that.

On the sixth night, the girl was out with her friends. She was bored and called the guy. The guy was at his office working overtime. She told the guy that she wanna meet him and asked if she could go to his office to watch him while he work. The guy said no at first, but she insisted. So, she took the train to his office. When the train reached the station, she alighted, but boarded the train again after a while. Then she called the guy and told him that she is not going over anymore. She took the train to and fro, changing her mind every now and then, until the guy knock off. The guy went to buy her breakfast and as usual brought it up to her house. When he was about to press the doorbell, his phone rang. It was the girl. She called to ask him if he was home yet. He said no. Then she told him to rest early and wished him Goodnight. The guy was bored.

On the seventh night, they were preparing to go for a gala dinner. The girl was in a sexy evening gown. The guy was very unhappy. He asked the girl to change. She changed over and over again and he was unhappy with every dress she had. In the end, she wore her housemate's dress, which was plain and simple. While in the lift, she asked the guy whether he will still love her if she is not what she is anymore. The guy was hesistant with the answer. The girl was very angry.

On the eighth night, the girl went to the repair shop to pick up the guy's laptop because he was supposed to go overseas that night. It was very late and the shop had already closed. She pleaded with the shopkeeper to let her collect the laptop. She succeeded after much trouble. She rushed to the guy's office only to see him walking out with his colleagues leisurely. The guy told her that he had rescheduled his flight. She passed him the laptop and a bag of briefs she had bought for him. He told her that he is going out with his colleagues and asked her to go home. They had a big fight and broke up in the end.

On the ninth night, the girl went to her friend's office and cried. Her friend called the guy up pretending that she had called the wrong number, so that the girl could listen to the guy's voice. The guy appeared nonchalant. For the rest of the night, the girl looked listless and kept telling her friend that she regretted breaking up with the guy. After her friend counseled her, she was fine again.

On the tenth night, she met up with the guy. She told him how she felt after they broke up. When she finished, she saw that the guy was asleep.

On the eleventh night, they were back together again.

On the twelveth night, the girl was posted to Hawaii for her job. The guy applied for a year's leave to go with her. She met up with her ex-boyfriend and realised that he did not cheat on her. She regretted breaking up with him. She was on her way to the guy's office and decided not to meet him afterall. The guy caught a glimpse of the girl before she left. He searched the whole vicinity but to no avail. She saw him searching for her and hid herself from him. She met another guy while doing so. They chatted and that is the start of the first night again.

I think that is exactly what happened in a relationship. The guy's interest in the girl only lasts for a while. When a couple breaks up, the girl usually finds it harder to accept the fact that they are no longer together. When the guy try to salvage the relationship, it is usually too late. Hai~!
