get well soon

it was my fault
i knew it could happen, but i tried to believe otherwise... foolish me
my recent wandering eyes have finally pissed him off....and when he gets pissed, he really gets pissed....
last week when i came back from my month-long working trip and left him in the hands of another, i guess he didn't like it that much....but the truth is, i didn't ask for his opinion....
i could really feel his frustration, you know how the elders can grumble...yet i didn't take too much effort to really listen...but the grumble was really there, even my brother and mom heard it...so there was no excuse for me.....
today, when we were spending our quality time together (after 5 long weeks!!) back to kl we sang our hearts out....my throat is still a bit coarse now in fact...
then when we passed sg buloh he started to act strangely....he seemed to refuse to budge suddenly, to my horror....we were in the middle of the highway for goodness' sake, and he wanted to pull off something funny there..gosh
he started to ignore my touch....usually he would be very responsive....yes, we have always been a very good team....and i begged him to move on....just as before.....i asked him what was the matter, but he jerked my questions off and continued to act on his own....it was frustrating, and also embarrassing when we finally came to the toll booth and he decided to die on me!!....
'this is a highway!!' i said, 'if you want to throw a tantrum wait till we get home'...and so he obliged, hesitantly....in total i had to like beg for it to continue the journey for more than 10 times, after he died on me again and again, with all eyes on us along the way....
but he finally gave up when we reached our regular servicing shop....after some early diagnosis, i was told he wanted an overhaul, a top one...what can i say....
so now he has to be admitted for 2 days, my pal....and i wish him all the best, get well soon...
perhaps he really felt that my recent wandering eyes are my early indication that i want to get rid of him....well, i must admit the intention is there...and maybe i should talk to him about a retiring plan based in ipoh where life is so much more bearable and relaxing...i'm sure when he comes around from the surgery he too would like to take life in a gentler pace....
