"Such a wide topic to cover....do you have a life time...?", I laughed again. She blushed. Just at the right time, George Michael's Amazing was playing on Spotify.

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free
So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my savior would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing
"I was so infatuated with George Michael since secondary school. He was like my teen idol. Such a talent and what a waste....Edge of Heaven, Everything she Wants, Kissing a Fool, Faith, Amazing....just to name a few. Beautiful songs and I could never get board listening. His hair, oh my God....classic.", Q started to talk about George Michael. She had a huge smile on her face, I guess she must be picturing George Michael in her head by now.....
"So you like his songs because of he's good looks or lyrics?", aku buat-buat interested.
"Both actually. He has the whole package. Looks, sexy, talented and voice. It doesn't matter whatever his sexual preferences or tragedy struck in his life.....I still listen to him because he writes good music....But people only appreciate and realized his talent when it's too late. Masa hidup kena kutuk dan caci bila dah mati barulah mengagung-agungkan dia......humans are so weird....", Q replied.
"Ok..., can't agree more with you....he is gifted.", I added.
"Amazing is one of my favorite...", and I turn to her, surprised by her choice of song.
"What about Careless Whispers......women drool over that song....", I said.
She laughed. "Of course but not as much as I love his hip, upbeat and funky type of music....no doubt about that...", Q nampak penat. Sekali sekala dia menguap dan cuba untuk menyembunyikan daripada aku.
"You look tired....", I said and kissed her hand. She looked at me and smile. Tak lekang senyuman di bibirnya.
"Maybe a little.....", she replied.
"Okay we're almost there.....", and I stopped the car at the edge of a popular look out point. "Come, I'll show you Kuala Lumpur at this hour....".
We walked a bit and lean against the front of my car. Soft wind was blowing through her hair. She confronted the breeze by tossing her head to left and right but several strands crisscrossing her face. Aku tergelak memerhatikan Q. She is really sexy.
"What's so funny.....?", she snapped at me.
"I'm sorry.....I guess the wind is quite strong up here....", I apologized to Q. I try not to laugh instead maintain a smile. "So, what do you think....of the view?", I asked Q.
"It is beautiful......oh look, that's KLCC and KL Tower....", as she walked close to the edge of the clift.
"Be careful.....I don't want you to fall off...", I raised my voice. She turned and walked back towards me. She stood in front of me and said, "Let's continue.......who are you....who is Imran...?". I gently run my fingers through her hair. She didn't stopped me but instead closed her eyes.
"Imran have been living in Perth for 10 years and now he is back in Malaysia. I sold my business, an architecture company because I want to return to my roots. Most of all I want to settle down and raise a family.", I started off the conversation.
"You don't have any regrets leaving Perth?", Q asked me. I folded my arms.
"None what's so ever....I am happy here now.", I shook my head. "Hidup di negara orang memang seronok tapi tak sama. Susah senang sendirian. I was so engulfed with setting up my business that I neglected my personal life. Obviously things didn't workout when she ran off to marry my business partner. Rupa-rupanya when I was so busy trying to build and stabilized my dreams, Rick played truant with my fiance." I told her the story of my life. The wind was blowing her hair and I softly caress it.
"Is that the reason why you came back to Malaysia? Heart broken?", and another question thrown at me.
I had nothing to hide from Q. "No. I stayed and concentrated with my work. Yes, I was heart broken and I did not want to think about having a relationship until I am successful." I answered.
Q lean against my car and stood next to me. She was staring at the dark sky. "And are you successful now?", Q asked.
"I think I am almost there.....just waiting for the cherry on top of the icing to complete my life....", and I turn to look at Q. I really hope she understood what I meant.
"But why did you sell off your business there? After all your dream became a reality." and Q turn side ways facing me.
"I guess I got tired. I am not getting any younger. I have chased after my dream. I've climbed the corporate ladder, I ran my own business and now I only want to live my life......", and I turn to face her. Our eyes met. We stood there and stared silently into each other's eyes for a few minutes......I so, so, so really want to touch her face.....
"Come let's go. I'll take you to my hide out.", and I grabbed her elbow. I opened the car door and she slide on to the seat. With Larisa we would have kissed and make out here and now but Q......she is like an onion....aku harus kupas kelopaknya satu demi satu.....I do not want to shed any more tears.
