just minishorts.

It seems like I keep bumping into people who just won't understand the meaning of personal space, and they frustrate me to no end. I know I should get used to this, I ought to understand that we're all surrounded by the like, people who in essence, actually do mean good, do have good intentions, and yet get lost in their fervour to force us to abide by their versions of truths.

People who will not welcome 'no' as an answer.

Remember Mr Nice Guy who fell for Miss Girl Next Door? Oh it was a sweet, sweet love, one that started from many many ages ago, something that he had kept inside his heart for a long long time… but never daring or wanting to tell her. But he kept doing good things for her, he kept bearing little gifts, making sure the tiny details were in place, the little things that did not seem to matter but actually mattered a great deal fell into their right positions, so that Miss Girl Next Door would have a great life that was envy-worthy.

But she never knew the Mr Nice Guy who was behind the whole picture, and so they grew up. She grew up. She met Mr Right one day, and it was amazing for her, like a fairy tale come true, but it wasn't like that, of course, for our star Mr Nice Guy. His heart was shattered into a million pieces, and he suddenly realized, 'I've been quiet for far too long, and I will get her back.'

Was his intentions bad? Not really. He wanted the best for Miss Girl Next Door, HIS version of 'the best', the comforts that what he knew he could provide for her… and he spoke up. He pursued. He started a courtship, like a machine with a one-tracked mind, he did what he could, at first. He bought flowers, chocolates, offered to help her with the burst pipe in the toilet. She was appreciative, but she did not fall for him yet. She already had Mr Right, and he was the apple of her eye. There was nothing she wanted change, though, Mr Right was REALLY a Mr Right… nothing wrong with him actually, except for that fact that Mr Nice Guy did not like Mr Right very much.

To the dismay of Mr Nice Guy, now that his Plan A did not work, he wanted to come out in the open, to tell Miss Girl Next Door about the truth. And it will hurt, but I must do it. She deserves nothing less. I only want the best for her.

He became a possessive nut, eager to do anything, just so that he could have Miss Girl Next Door for himself. He didn't really want to marry Miss GND, all he wanted was for her to be separated for her Mr Right, just so long as she was single, he could continue to shower all his attention on her, and he could have a right to her life, to give her what he deemed was the best. Like a man on a mission, he dug up evidence that could point Mr Right as Mr Not-So-Right, but it wasn't so easy, Mr Right was genuinely a good person… but he dug, and he dug, and finally, he found one tiny piece of problem that could potentially bring Miss Girl Next Door to her senses.

He found out, after digging up the archives of Mr Right's life, that Mr Right had a long lost brother who had been a vicious murderer and rapist, that this cousin of Mr Right's was currently serving a life-sentence in jail for the terrible things he did in his life.

'He's a brother of a rapist, Miss GND. He's a cousin of a rapist! You don't want to be connected to the rapist, do you? Your Mr Right has a cousin who killed people and raped women.'

Miss GND was more than annoyed. Suddenly, Mr Nice Guy was no longer so nice anymore. He just wouldn't get off her back, and now he's trying to tear her life apart by implicating her very own Mr Right in something that would not affect either one of their lifes?

'What is wrong with you?'
'I just want the best for you. I don't want you to date and marry a man whose brother is a rapist and murderer.'
'It's his half brother, and they have never met each other in their entire lives. It does not affect me. I'm perfectly happy.'
'His brother will get out of jail and rape you one day.'
'He's serving a life sentence.'
'You think you will be happy, but you do not know. I know you will be happier if Mr Right is out of your life. You should think about your future. You must look beyond temporary happiness.'
'No. I think YOU will be happiest if Mr Right is out of my life. I will be devastated. Now get out.'

Sometimes, I think Mr Nice Guys to stick to being Nice only. Everyone is entitled to personal choices. The freedom to choose is the very root of where happiness begins. If Miss GND wants her Mr Right, I think she deserves him. As much as Mr Nice Guy is entitled to fight for the love of his life, he also should respect her choices, even if her choice isn't him.
