Chapter 45 - Call Me, Maybe?

Suasana di sini nyaman sekali. Peaceful....and so serene. Selepas solat Subuh I decided to catch the sunrise.

Aku berjalan di tepi tali air. Terdengar desiran alunan air memecahkan sunyi sepi pagi. Sayup-sayup angin menghembus rambut aku but I love how it made me feel. Aku tergelak.

Tarian dahan-dahan kelapa sebagai mempersembahkan sebuah taridra. Aku hanya berdiri di sini dan tersenyum puas. I just want to feel and enjoy this moment. I know it can't never be the same again. Seronok sungguh aku rasakan....peluang kembali ke negeri jelapang padi. Pengalaman berada di tengah sawah dan bendang tak akan aku lupakan. Percikan air kedengaran dari ikan yang berenang mengejutkan aku dari khayalan.

Aku teringatkan Imran. Jejaka yang telah mencuri hati ini sesungguhnya menepati cita rasa. Tak kurang tak lebih. Very humble guy and husband material. Kami mempunyai kegemaran yang sama. Yes, I am fatally in love with him. Tapi Imran merasakan aku kebudak-budakan which I tend to be sometimes. Karakter itu aku terbawa-bawa....maklumlah aku satu-satunya anak perempuan didalam keluarga. Semestinya aku bersikap manja. But lately, I am sensing some strain in our relationship, like being suspicious towards him most times. Jealous? Who? Me!?

Until came blue cap No. 9 t-shirt guy.....aku merasakan masih banyak perkara yang harus aku terokai rather being tied down at young age. I glanced at my engagement ring. Pemberian berharga dari Imran.....dan memutar cincin itu ke kiri dan ke kanan jari aku.....Aku mengeluh. Suddenly this guy appeared out of the blue and he has been constantly in my mind. Kerap bertemu di taman permainan semasa beriadah.....tak pernah bertegur sapa. Sekadar membalas senyuman. Kemudian pertemuan yang tak di sangka di KL Central menuju ke utara membuahkan sebuah persahabatan yang complex. Itu perasaan aku saja and no pressure from anyone...he makes me come alive again.....

"Are you feeling what I'm feeling...?"

I turned around and saw Emir. Berkain pelikat dan kopiah. Aku tergelak melihat another sight of Emir. Far from the rugged jeans and worn t-shirt.

"What's so funny...?", he asked and looking not so happy at me. He walked closer and I stepped back.

"Nothing.....!", I answered and looked away. My right arm was pulled from behind. I did not resist....I said, "Okay....okay....It's just you look.....different....that's all...". And he let go of my arm but held on to my finger tips. Aku menarik dengan perlahan jejari aku sambil melirik ke arah Emir.

"Different ....macamana tu...", he asked as he stood next to me facing the paddy fields. His hands are in his pocket 'baju melayu'.

"I could never imagine you as a kain pelikat guy......", I replied. I turn to see his respond. He took off his kopiah, fold it and placed in his pocket.

"So, you have you been imagining me these days.....?" dia tiba-tiba tergelak dan memandang aku.

Aku memperbetulkan rambut dari menutupi muka aku yang dari tadi asyik di tiup angin. "Tak de lar....jangan nak perasan sangat.....I always see you as the tough, rugged guy in faded jeans....itu saja.....", aku jawab. Sekumpulan burung terbang melintasi pemandangan kami.

"Kita orang melayu...ikut resmi padi lah..." he replied. I did not look at him as I smiled to his respond. "Look...! matahari dah nak naik.....cantikkan...?", Emir menghampiri aku lalu menunding jari kearah langit. Kami terdiam sambil memerhatikan sinar matahari yang mula menonjolkan dirinya.

"Tak sangka ya.....kita related...?" I said.

"Yeah.....jauh perjalanan kita....tinggal berhampiran tapi tak pernah nak sapa each other and now we are somehow related.... hmmm...., how are we related...?", he asked. Aku tergelak melayan Emir.

Aku mengangkat bahu. "Entahlah....Pak Uda would know....", my guess.

"I better go back to the house and see if there's anything I can help around.", I told Emir. He grin at me....aku sekadar tersenyum.

"Q...", he called. I looked at him and raised my eyebrows. He stood close next to me in the opposite direction. Our shoulder rubbed against each other. He press his arms slightly on mine and he whispered,  "I suka dapat berkenalan dengan you...", as he moves back his head.

"Did you just made a passed at me....you are not serious, right?", I asked. He still stood next to me.

"What if I did....? Tak salahkan?", he sounds convincing.

I face his side of the body. That moment my attention was diverted when I saw Mak Uda was looking at both of us from a distance. "Don't turn....Mak Uda is staring at us.", aku melambai-lambaikan tangan ke arah Mak Uda. I do not want to create suspicion in her mind. Mak Uda membalas lambaianku dan berlalu masuk ke pintu utama rumah.

As I stood there, "Emir,.....I am engaged. So I rasa it's not appropriate to talk to me that way...", I explained.

"I know.....but don't you think you should get out of your shell and date other guys instead of  tying yourself down the first guy you like? You always discredit yourself.. You are beautiful inside and out and I really meant it. I mean......I like to ask you out sometime....", he stood still and replied calmly.

I was speechless for a few seconds. "You? Asking me out....? Ghezzz you surely are very direct Emir. You give me adrenaline rush because being with you....., I just don't know what to expect. One minute you are friendly and suddenly you just change to the moody bastard you have always been......Having you as a husband.....I pity each and every one of your ex-wives. They had to endure your fluctuate tempremental on daily basis.......", I voice out my opinion of him.

He turn to face me. His face was red......Before he could say anything......."You can't intimidate me, Emir......", so I added.

There, I said to his face. I let go all the things I've bottled up for so long. I stared at him as he was staring at me too. Then it made me think.....about he said......Why not? He's right....why shouldn't I meet other guys.....? Why not give him a chance? I was thinking to myself. Ishhhh.......tak baik aku buat Imran macam ni. But we are not officially engaged.....if he can meet his old girl friend, why shouldn't I? He doesn't own me.....lagi pun Emir dan aku ada pertalian saudara.....

Aku memberanikan diri......"Okay.....,one dinner and that's all....", I was stern when I replied and I don't want to think any more. Let's go spur of the moment kind of thing.... I don't have to enjoy it but just to get him off my back..

I saw his smile.....a smile of satisfaction....of getting things his way....."That's all I'm asking......that's all I'm asking, Q....", he replied.

He put his right hand on my shoulder. "Your words were subtle and painfully struck my heart. I'll prove you I am not the son of a bitch you thought I was.". He was serious.

"My flight is this evening back to KL. So, you have my number.....call me, maybe?", I annouced and walkaway.....my finale.

Chapter 44 - One in a Million....

“Let me have a look at your ring…”, Emir asked.

“Kenapa…?”, I asked him back. I was a little bit hesitant.

“Saja nak tengok….tak kan tak boleh kot….”, replied. He looked at me impatiently.

“Nah….”, I said and slide the ring out from my finger. Emir took it. Dia membelek-belek cincin aku. He looked at me and then look at the ring again.

“Lucky you. He must be filthy rich. An engagement ring like this must have cost him anything from 10-15K…hmmm....kalau cincin kahwin nanti mesti lagi mahal......”, Emir gave his estimation.

“Seriously…?, I responded. “I did not expect this ring to be that expensive….”. Emir menghulurkan kembali cincin kepada aku. Aku menyambut lalu menyarung semula ke jari.

“He must love you very much. But I am sensing a problem here…..”, he was testing me. Dia menyedut air Coca Cola.

Aku dapat rasakan muka aku membahang. Why is he so interested to know about my personal life. 

“Problem…? Tak ada lah….dalam each relationship biasalah kalau perselisihan faham once in a while. But everything dah resolved…but thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it…”, I replied.

“Then kenapa you travel alone ke Kedah….?”, he asked.

“Well for one, I have tomorrow’s wedding to attend and secondly I need to rekindle my relationship dengan Kedah side of the family. Anyway, time apart for us would do some good.” I explained.

 

“So….what happened between you and .....erk.....Kedah family? Sounded serious saja…?”, he continued to asked more question.

Phewwww......for a moment there I thought he wanted to know about my relationship with Imran. “You ni so nosy kan…..semua benda you nak tahu….okay let’s make a deal. I cerita hal I then you cerita pasal your failed marriage….is it because of tak ada anak ke….?”, aku pulak menyibuk akan hal peribadi Emir…..

“Hmmmm…..you pun sama busy body…..”, he replied. “Ok,….I tak kisah nak ceritakah hal I pada you. Then kalau you nak sampaikan pada Mak Uda pun I tak kisah. Maybe she should know the truth rather than making assumptions about my marriage.”

"Ok? It's truth or dare time, woman...", he said.

"Alright....truth.", I replied with confidence. I lean against the car seat facing him. "My mom is a Siamese and my father was from Kedah. When I was very small both of them died in a plane crash on the way back to Malaysia." I confessed.

Emir memalingkan mukanya. "Come one you're shitting me right....I thought we agreed with the truth...", he thought I was fooling around.

"What? You think I'm jerking you off...? Okay....let me continue I was an only child. I was adopted later by my late father's ex-business partner, whom is my dad now. Ever since then hubungan I and keluarga di Kedah renggang."  explained further.

I smiled and that didn't make Emir convinced about my past. "I have never heard of you being mentioned before within this family. Tiba-tiba I found a long lost relative.....macam jejak kasih pulak..", he wanted reassurance.

"I guess it must have been taboo...initially they were not happy Tok Ki agreed to give me away. Please don't get them wrong....they thought my late father left a lot of money. I mean he had lots but he was in the brink of bankrupt after his new business partner played my father out. Maybe it could be a burden for them to take care of me since there was no money.Ialah mereka pun bukannya orang senang.....but I had a trust fund which is being looked after by my dad....new dad.", I elaborated.

"Wow....trust fund huh...first time I jumpa someone with a trust fund....loaded lah you ni ya...", he assumed. He then switch the conversation, "It's kind of getting late...nanti Mak Uda risau pulak about you....maklumlah rich girl from the city....nanti takut kena kidnap bawak pi sempadan...". He tried to intimidate me again.

I replied, "Whatever lah.....I am not rich dan don't consider myself as one....only fortunate......just happened that my late father made a wise investment for my future...at least I kept my end of the bargain in this game. Unlike you.....Okay lah let's head back home. I'm tired and tomorrow is going to be a long day......Jumpa relatives and all.....in my mind, I dah boleh imagine they will definitely asked....Bila hang nak kahwin...?", I giggled. Emir tersenyum sambil menggelengkan kepala.

"You know what, I'm starting to like you....a lot.....because you are so smart...", he said sambil mengusik hidung aku.

Aku mengelak....but then I laughed. "So what's your story....?", I asked.

Emir started the car engine and said, "Nantilah.....". I took it as he is not ready to share his personal life with me. He looked depressed and stressed out.

"Ok....I am here, tau....", I replied and try to give hims some space.

"I know.....", he smiled and winked at me.

Emir.....you're one in a million.........

Chapter 42 - What Took You So Long

Malam itu aku berkampung di rumah Pak Uda. Setelah di asak berkali-kali supaya bermalam di rumahnya, aku bersetuju. Sebuah bilik di sediakan untuk aku. At least I have my own privacy.

Setelah makan malam, aku mengajak Hisyam untuk makan angin sekitar Alor Setar. I would have invited Emir but I didn't see him the whole night....

"Hisyam, mana Emir...? Dia merajuk ke?", aku bertanya. Hisyam memandang aku lalu menjawab, "Dak Aih, dia ada kat umah depan tu, rumah Pak Long...dia bermalam di sana.....dia dengan mak (Mak Uda) tak boleh duduk serumah....panjang ceritanya....".

"Oh...tak ngam lar...", aku merumuskan sambil mengangguk.

Hisyam ketawa....,"Haah lebih kurang macam tu.....". "Mak tu dulu nak jodohkan Abang Emir dengan anak menakan mak....tapi Abang Emir lari pergi KL. Malu mak dulu.....jadi tu yang depa berdua tak berapa baik....". Semangat Hisyam bercerita.

"Hisyam ada phone number Emir? Call dia....kita ajak dia keluar sekali. Sure dia boring terperap dalam rumah. lepas tu kita jalan-jalan then cari nasi kandaq ke atau char kuey teow.....?", I suggested.

"Hmmm....nanti....ada rasanya....hah! ada-ada. Hisyam call ya....?", he asked.

"Okay, call je dia.....", I answered. Aku memerhatikan Hisyam bercakap dengan Emir...

"Kak Q, abang Emir nak cakap.....", Hisyam menyerahkan handphonenya. Aku menjawab, "Tak payahlah....dia nak ikut tak?", aku bertanya.

"Dia nak cakap dengan Kakak dulu....", Hisyam memujuk aku. Aku menyambut handphone Hisyam sambil berdengus...."Gatainya....", tiba-tiba terkeluar loghat Kedah dari mulut aku.

"Hello....Emir, awak nak ikut tak...?", aku bertanya sambil memerhati kasut aku. Aku diam dan mendengar penerangannya yang panjang lebar. Kemudian aku menyerah kembali handphone kepada Hisyam.

Aku menyelok kedua tangan ke dalam pocket jeans sambil mengerakkan badan aku ke kiri, ke kanan dan ke kiri semula. "Dia habaq dia nak pi tapi dia nak kakak drive dan bawa dia saja.....kakak seriaulah....dia tu okay ke?", aku bertanya pada Hisyam.

"Insya Allah dia okay.....", jawab Hisyam sambil tersenggih. "Nah, ini kunci kereta. Saga putih tepi pondok depan."

I left Hisyam and headed to the white Saga. I got into the car and switched on the ignition. Suddenly I hear the passenger door opened and it was Emir. He slide on to the seat and closed the door.....

"What too you so long...", Emir bersuara sambil mengenakan tali pinggang keledar.

"What do you mean, .....what took I so long....? What took you so long....?", aku bertanya balik pada Emir.

I drove to the main road heading to the city. "So you dah makan? Tak nampak you at Pak Uda's house tonight?", I asked but looking straight on the road.

Emir was quiet. "Emir, what's wrong? You are too quiet tonight...", I asked. I glanced at him from the corner of my left eyes.

"Well you're surprising calm when you're with me...", he asked.

I replied, "Well, that is because I'm learning this new technique that's called screaming in the inside." I smiled.

He laughed at me. "I see....that's working for you...". Emir responded.

"I guess one of us have to survive tonight, right....",  aku jawab bersahaja. Next thing I realized both of us had a good laugh.

"Do you know you are captivating.....you can get any guy you want and you prefer to be stuck with me....?", Emir bertanya kehairanan.

"Wow, is that a compliment from Blue cap number 9", aku ingin mendapatkan kepastian. Mata aku masih concentrate on the road. Aku memberi signal untuk ke kanan. We past by the Alor Setar Clock Tower. Destinasi kami hampir ke Alor Setar Tower.

Kami keluar kereta and he waited until I walked over to his side of the car. We walk along a row of fast food stall. It smell so good and we stopped at a stall selling goreng pisang. I bought RM2 worth of fried banana and Emir instantly grabbed the paper bag from from me.

"I lapar. I makan dulu ya....", he said and start to gobble on my goreng pisang.

I was surprised but wasn't able to utter a single word as Emir walked fast a head of me. I catch up with him and slapped his shoulder. "That's mine.....!" Aku merampas paper bag yang berisi goreng pisang. "You can have one or two but not all....", aku berkeras.

"Okay....okay.....okay....., I'm sorry. Satu saja lagi, please.....I seriously lapar....", he said desperately.

"Nope....you go and get yours....dua ringgit saja....", I insisted.

"Kendekutnya......", he was upset. He gave a the hate look and proceed to the goreng pisang stall.

 "Macam jakun.....isyh....!", aku merungut seorang diri.

"Hey.....I heard that....", he turned and said out loud. Ramai orang disekeliling memandang Emir. Malulnya aku......dan aku terus pusing dan berlalu pergi.

Aku berjalan ke arah kanak-kanak yang bermain motorized bicycle and car. Oh, kenderaan tersebut di sewa dengan bayaran yang telah ditetapkan. Aku mencari tempat untuk duduk dan memerhatikan mereka bermain. Gelak ketawa mereka sangat menghiburkan.

"You want to go up to the tower?" Emir rupanya. Dia mencuit lengan aku. I turn to look at him. Then scan the tower from bottom to the top.

"I don't know....kalau you nak you go a head....I'll wait here.", I answered.

"Why? You're scared?", sambil dia melagakan sikunya pada lengan aku. I hate it when he is being very persistent. But I tolerated his attitude.

"Takut? Nope...I just don't feel like it....", and I got up to walk get myself a drink. Looking around I saw a stall selling sugar cane juice. I bought 2 and paid the seller. I walked back to Emir and passed him a drink.

"Thanks but no thanks. Not so hygienic....my stomach is very sensitive...", he replied and looked the other way.

"Whatever......I have no problem drinking both.....eleh....! macamlah goreng pisang tu elok sangat. Cannot imagine berapa kali dia orang recycle minyak untuk goreng pisang-pisang yang dijual....", aku membalas. In a way to irritate him.

He did not reply but instead stood up and walked away. I was expecting him to react as he did. "I will be in the car....", I raised my voice. He just walked straight ahead towards the tower. Well, I guess he's going up there on his own.....

Chapter 43 - The Look Of Love

My mobile phone rang while walking back to the car. It was Imran. I was contemplating whether to answer or not. Kalau aku tak jawab he might suspect I'm up to something. But what do I say if he asked where I have been....I can't possibly tell him I'm in Alor Setar.

"Hello....Imran...? How have you been? Lama you tak call?", tanpa berlenggah aku terus menjawab panggilan Imran.

"Yeah.....you've been quiet yourself. You masih marah pada I?", he asked me back.

Aku bersandar di kereta. "No lah....I am not mad at you.....I figure this time out will calm us down...It'll do us a lot of good, trust me.....", I replied.

"Why...? You feel we have a problem....I mean our relationship? I am very sure we resolved all negative issues between us....", he wanted to know.

"No....no....no....don't get me wrong.....we're doing great.....I have been busy with work...that's all...how about you...? What have you been up too?", I turn the table around to distract his attention.

"Nah.....nothin' much. Hanging around the house and back to work. By the way, I'm planning to travel to Bali in 2 weeks time. I like to see you before I leave, if that's possible...", he announced.

"Yeah,.....sure. I love that and looking forward to it....", I replied and glad he wants to see me. I smiled and turn towards the car door when I saw Emir standing looking at my direction...it gave me a shock! I wonder how long he has been standing there and how much he heard my conversation......

"Well, I have to go now.....things to do here....I'll call you to set up a meeting.", I said to quickly end the telephone conversation with Imran.

"Alright..., you take care. I love you....", Imran ended the conversation.

I turn away from Emir and slightly move forward, "I love you, too.....good night....", I whispered softly. And I hang up.

I unlock the car door and got in. Emir did the same....start the engine but next thing his right arm crossed the steering wheel and he switched off the engine. He grabbed the car keys and put his hand in his jeans pocket.

"Hey....give me back the car keys....", I said out loud. I tried pulling out his arm from his pocket but he was so strong. He won't let it go. He sat there looking at me....I tried pinching his arm with my finger nails. I know it hurts because I can see the corner of his eyes cringe a little. Nak tunjuk tough kononnya lah tu......

I gave up. "Alright what is it.....what did I do wrong...?", I asked and look him straight. "You suka sakitkan hati orang.....hobi you ya.....love to intimidate people.....awak tahu tak.....I have a very good intention tonight towards you. I invited you out, drive around the city and take you away from Mak Uda....I thought we can get to know each other......but this is the thanks I get.....? You're a piece of work...! With the ugly sense of attitude you carry around no wonder your wives left you.....".

There I've said it. I shouldn't have but I cannot stand him anymore. I just want the car keys and go back to Telok Bagan. Emir masih membatu. Maybe he tries to calm down after I blew him off, especially the wife part.

I have had it....! "Come on Emir,....give me the car keys....I just wanna go back.....", I pleaded. Dengan muka tin sardin dia, dia buat tak tahu saja......he didn't budge. I immediately turn to open the car door and the alarm went off. I quickly closed the door.

"EMIR.....!!!! You are insane.....", I shouted at him. "What is the matter with you? What game are you playing here.....please let me drive home.....seriously I thought we connected. I guess I was wrong....", I cooled down feeling defeated.

Then I felt his hands moved on my neck...aku terkejut.....seram sejuk. Genggamannya tak kasar but felt strong. His thumb rubbed against the back of my earlobe. Aku terpaku. I froze as I did not want him to break my neck. Using his hand he turn my neck towards him. Aku ikut gerak tangannya.

Then he said,"Shhhh......dah? Dah habis meroyan? Listen, I'll drive okay. Don't pick a fight with me. In your condition I think you will not get us home safe...". Lalu aku menepis tangannya.

"A**H**E...! Suka hati you lah....", and I opened the car door. He got out as well. We are switching seats. He hold on his side of the car door to allow me in. Sebelum aku masuk, I gave him one last look.....and with my mighty strength, I slapped him on the face.

"Ouch!!", came out of my mouth. My palm felt numb. I couldn't belief that I hit Emir in the face. He felt the pain on his cheeks as he made facial movement.

"Okay I deserved it. Now get in....", he instructed me. I did as I was told. Geram sangat aku tengok perangainya yang bossy.

When he got into the driver's seat, he saw I was searching something in between the gap between our seats. "What are you looking for...?", he wanted to know.

Dengan suara manja aku menjawab, "My mobile phone...it must have fallen somewhere here...", as I pointed at the gaps between his seat and the hand brake panel. He helped to look for it. "I think I can feel it....here, here....put your hands in here."

I did as I was told and he was right. I could feel it. "This is what we're gonna do....you slide your tiny hands try to push it up slowly while I grabbed from up here....", he laid out a plan. I nodded.

After the 3rd attempt, he successfully got hold of my mobile phone. "Err....Emir, I think my tiny hand is stuck here....", I told him.

"What? Stuck? Tarik je lah tangan tu keluar...", he said. I couldn't belief my ears.

"Sakit nanti....", I replied. Then he slowly used both his hands trying to squeeze my hands out. Soon as I managed to release my hand, my bracelet broke and the beads are all over the floor. I instantly looked up and was afraid that Emir gonna be mad at me. He looked up as well about the same time I did. Our face was so close that our nose brushed. I could hear our breathe when he suddenly moved closer to my lips.....

For a few seconds I felt like the time froze as we gazed at each other. Emir membetulkan rambut aku yang berserabut. Mata aku beralih memerhatikan jari jemarinya. When he stopped we quickly sat up right back in our seats. Perhaps we were pretending nothing did happen. "I'm sorry about your bracelet...we'll get you a new one...", he said.

We were quiet until he stopped the car by the roadside. "Kita berhenti makan dulu ya....", said in a friendly manner as he looked at me. "They have Cafe Latte here...", he added. I nodded.

"2 Big Mac Meal...large....air coca cola satu saja.....", he said to the server over the counter.

The server replied, "Air dua, bang...". The girl looks at Emir then to me.

Emir replied, "Akak ni dah beli latte tadi....just one coca cola please...". The server nodded. She must have find the act, weird.

"Makan sini ke?", asked the server.

"Tak, to go, please....", Emir replied as he turn to look at me. Aku mengerutkan dahi tanda what's going on.....

 As we walked back to our car, he was holding the food on one hand and my hand on the other. When we reached the car, he opened the door for me. "Thanks..", I said and slide in.

We sat in the car and ate our burgers. We did not say anything to each other. Once in while we look at each other and ended up looking back at our burgers. Sambil makan kami melayan lagu-lagu yang diputarkan oleh DJ dari Fly FM. Sting featuring Craig David, Toni Braxton, Carlos Santana,and Amy Winehouse.

"How's your latte?", Emir asked. Mulutnya masih menguyah french fries.

"Mmmm....good...and thanks. I really need it.", I replied and took another sip of my coffee.

"Was that your fiance you were talking to on the phone a while ago?", he asked but still busy munching his fries. He didn't look at me.

I turn to his side and place my left leg under my right leg. I looked at him. "Yes, it was...you heard my conversation, didn't you?", I answered.

Then he kept staring my face then to my mouth. "Err....ada....ermmm...on your....", he didn't finished but pointed to my mouth. I felt intimidated by his action....

"Apa?", I asked sambil meraba-raba pipi kemudian ke mulut aku. Then Emir used his index finger to wiped off something on my lips...

"Ada coffee foam....comot...", he said. "More fries....", he asked. Aku mengelengkan kepala. "Tak, I dah kenyang....", I responded.

I was curious why we had to eat in the car, so I asked Emir. "Why didn't we eat inside the restaurant?".

"Too much distraction.", his reply was short and simple. "I like my privacy."

"Emir, I wanna apologized for the things I said about you tonight. The slapped was uncalled for...", I had to apologized to him. I looked down at my coffee cup.

"No worries. I dah lupakan dah pun....so are you going to finished the fries...?", he asked. Aku menggeleng. He took my fries and eat them 2 pieces at a time.
