Sad when I went to sleep last night as I knew I would soon be going home, and today was that dreaded day, still not going till tonight!
As I look to my left there lays a beautifull lady, skin so soft to to touch and her hair so shiny and smooth, she has eye's so bright if only they were open and a heart so strong but oh so gentle, I have to pinch my self to make sure I am not in some wonderfull dream,but real life.. Then I think no not a dream this is my room and this stunning lady is in fact my Ketut!! How I got so lucky to meet her I'm not sure and to tell you the truth I am not going to ask out loud. I will say though that I believe in calmer and WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND?
I think maybe I was a good person after all and this is my reward? My future is here right now!!
Well after getting up at about 8am today I tell Ketut that I am a little sad that I will soon be going home but so hapy she has been with me this past few days and being with her makes me the luckiest and happiest man alive.
Ketut tells me that she also has been happy here with me and in her cute funny way tells me I am a good boy!! and she feels good to be here with me. After breakie we sit and chat more about last night with Augus and his wife dinner at nero's and just all the lovely time we have shared this last few days. We talk more about me wanting her and if possible her daughter to come to Australia for a holiday in 06. And we talk about what the future may bring?
I ask Ketut if she will take me to denpasar to buy a nice watch as you all know I failed at my last effort to get on in Kuta square.
We got a driver again from the hotel and I as normal took my video cammera. I took a little film of the drive through the out skirts of denpasar and I found it was better than I thought would be as I just sat in the car shooting out the front windscreen.
In denpasar and please do not ask me where it was but Ketut took me to a wonderfull shop that only sold watches and boy did they have so many well took a while but I found one I liked it was a fossil and has a pale grean face but what made me buy this particular watch was it has an oval , not round face so It is just a little different. I also bought a nice ladies watch for Ketut as she did not own a watch, and hey not sure about you but me, I feel nakid without a watch. Not that a watch could improve Ketuts looks as I already feel she is just the most beautifull lady in my world.
After we wonder back to the car I ask Ketut is there someplace she could take me to thats not to far and be nice to see, not needing much thought she suggests Tanhalot temple. I say yes that sounds great and we go the short drive, talking about health issues for her daughter, who has been un well for a while in fact, as she tells me about visits to her local Dr and things that her Daughter was like I gave her a few things that she could get her or a better depasar Dr, that was her words not mine, could check out? I even told Ketut I would write a few bits of information when we got back to the hotel, Ketut was more that happy that I took such a major interest in Devy her daughter. Hey not that difficult as I keep telling Ketut I see her and daughter devy as a double act and if I am with her I am going to look after both of them.
after about a half hour we arrive and take a short walk to the area where the temple is, which just happens to be right on the water. This is one very impressive temple and I take a few still pics and a little video as well. as we look out into the ocean past the temple I tell Ketut that if she was to swim in that direction she would be going to Perth my home town we looked at eachother and had a little laugh.
Ketut introduced me to a new food well drink come food really, it was simply cocconut milk and also the white fresh from inside it. God I just think that this is heaven being with Ketut in Bali and doing something so simple as having a cocconut. On a few occassions Ketut told me she is just a simple woman and I told her in reply she is not a simple woman but now I find myself thinking I might just be a simple man, or at least a man of simple tastes!! I spent most of my life being called or treated as a simple person so I hate thinking of anyone being called simple but you know this lady can even make me feel good about my disability and forget there is anything even wrong with me.
I do feel comfortable with myself most of the time but when I am with Ketut I always feel good about myself.
On the way back to the car we stop at a small stall and Ketut buys a few local sweets handing one pack to me saying I sahould try these, I'm not sure what they were or what they were called but they tasted like marsh malows with cocconut on the outside and the middle was like malasses. After two I could not eat more as I'm not into sweets.
After getting back to the hotel we retire to our room and rest till about 4pm and I get up to have a shower and ready myself for the trip to the airport. As my time to leave nears I feel a little sad again but put on a brave face I knew this time was comming and I knew it was going to be very hard to say goodbye to Ketut, I feel that she too is starting to have her own problems with this.
as we leave our room for the reception area, I say good bye room till next time!! In fact I have already got my next trip booked and paid for and will be back in Bali in 8 weeks!! :-)
After getting into the car to go out to the airport, we chat a little but mostly just sit close and hold onto each other for most of the way, once at the airport we kiss hug and then all to soon I am into the airport, as most here will know if you don't have a ticket you can not get into the airport, so I am now alone and looking out to see Ketut and Augus out there Ketut is looking nearly as sad as I feel and my heart feels like its about to break!!
I go to the checkin counter and book into my flight, and not sure how it got to it but I end up talking to the checkin guy who like most people here has two jobs and his second job is realestate. I take his card and he promises me he will send me info on building a house in Bali, its not the first time the thought of a home here has come to me but its the first time I got to talking with a local about it!!
after I get up stairs and find a corner to sit and wait I call Ketut and say a final good bye and she tells me to make sure I call or sms her on my getting home I tell her yes but I will do that in the morning as I will not get out of the airport till at least 11.40pm
On my arrival I am met by my son who once we are out in the car park can not remember where he parked his car, oh what a time to loose it, I still have enough in my to make the joke that if he forgot to get me I would be half way home by now, he tells me its parked under a tree, well for anyone familiar with the parking at Perth airport there are a lot of trees!! LOL
Well thanks everyone I hope you enjoyed this part as well as all the rest as much as I have writing it, I will write my next jbr when I get back from paradise in March.
Cheers and best wishes and I do hope to meet you in Bali some time,
