Away Physically,but not Mentally AwayAfter two years,both of them finished high school.Iris went to a nearby college to study foundation in arts which subsequently leads to a degree in psychology,while Vincent was accepted into Princeton University on scholarship to pursue an Actuarial Science degree.
They were sad to leave each other as the last two years in high school is one of the most memorable time for both Iris and Vincent.However,they decided to keep in touch daily via the messenger at exactly 10pm for Iris and 10 am for Vincent.As they knew that the time difference between Malaysia and the United States is exactly 24 hours apart.
At the airport,Vincent even told her that he will always remember the pledge made between them,that is to wait for each other and not to wander away from this sweet relationship.It was a tearful farewell for them,but they have their own dreams and it will not be really appropriate for them to give up whatever they wish just because they want to be together for 24-7.
Each day,at the agreed time,Vincent and Iris will chat about their daily lives and constantly encourage each other to press on in whatever they do.The most wonderful thing is:Although they were miles and miles apart,their heart seems to be just next to each other.This goes on for years,without fail.
Whatever it is,Iris feels total fulfillment in life as she always felt that Vincent is by her side although he is not present physically.=)
