I woke up and i missed my class again. I woke up and my first mission was to get my phone back from Rachel Weiyi. Cravings for Pak Li has been going crazy. As Rach and me stepped in on bulan Rahmadan. That is when a wonderful, most weirdest-fun-pain-in-the-heart-i-cant-breathe-but-beautiful-hurt day all started.
When a day starts, you think, hey lets just go through the day alive even when you stepped into a dump of shit or even when someone stabbed you right in the heart. You tell yourself it's alright just to make yourself feel better or else you'll end up in a bed surrounded by people full of pity in their so-called sad faces JUST for you. I dont think you want that to happen right? Anyways... Rach and me decided to give Kit Kat a visit since she bought him a bar of mint treat. There's no better feeling than to see an animal so excited to see you. Only animals are able to give you that feeling. A feeling that you can reflect back to them at any time. Only animals give out that happiness when you first see them, or when you call out their names. Humans? You see them, sometimes all you get is hatred. Enough said. But before we 'hi-ha' girls hit that bundle of joy dog! I needed to get things that will make me calm myself down at night when im in bed. I needed to at least spend money on something that will make me happy. CANDLES. As we passed by the carpet section we could already smell heaven of candles. Gotta say, Ikea is the only place that has short cut to Heaven. 11.90 + 9.90 was the amount of sum I wasted. Good waste because at the end of the day. The smell of cinnamon, red apple and peach made my day.
"additional 20 cents for plastic bag" says the counter lady.
After Buka, "hey Tasha, tell me which is cheaper? Rassta or Al-Safa?". When you ask someone a question, you already have one answer in your mind in that two options. Somehow you pray that they will eventually say YOUR answer. And i got MY answer.
Al-Safa it is then. As I drive through and think that the coast is clear. That is when God just decide to say "hey lets make syarina fall again" It was a 2 minute walk to our table from the car. I spot a good table that we could over view everyone. When I go somewhere, i'd like to have a good view of everything. And good view it is i got. As the mamak said "Jap tunggu situ!" while he was carrying my so called good view table to where we were standing and i thought "nah its ok". That is when i spotted something that I wasnt sure i wanted to see yet at this point of my life. I faced Rachel with a face no one can forget. I said "shit he's here". Yup he was there not more than 15 steps away from me. I panicked. Heart beating like it was about to come out from my mouth as my throat feels like vomiting. What more as I cant hardly breathe as the perfume from Erni's house was over my neck and it smelled like 1970's. I felt like dying. I felt like my tears were about to come out like your toilet water pipe because I couldnt take it. I didnt know how i actually honestly felt. Happy? Mad? Upset? I didn't know. All i knew was its been a long time since i havent seen that face and that smile of his.
"I dont look stress right Rachel?" HAHAHA!
Gossips were shooting at me from their table. The word "obvious" slowly was showing. Smoke was all i had to keep me alive. My hair was half tide and was the only thing that stood me up. My eyes no longer see what i needed to see to remember the memories we had. Happy ones. Smoke smoke smoke. Inhale once, 15 seconds stress reliever. Gossips were still shooting but was it painful? Yes. Smoke smoke smoke. Nothing but "immature" in my mind. Rachel was trying her best to calm me down. A sudden rain came out loud and that was a call for us to go before we'll miss our movie (UP 3D) which was the reason we gave my brother why we were both soaking wet. Now its just weakness in me, Rachel's driving, beers and John Mayer's Come Back to Bed playing in my speakers. Oh and the heavy rain.
"Rachel, stop the car. I need to shout in the rain"
1 inch was the amount that Rachel had to the car parked behind us as we were reversing. The perfect spot was at a roundabout under a constructional bridge with an empty apartment opposite. I hit the button "loud" on my radio to John Mayer's. Stepped out of the car in the rain that was pouring as if I hit the button for the rain instead. Shout out load Syarina, he's never coming back. You better shout in this rain like it was just yesterday he had left you. And I did.
I held my head up with my hands too. Looked up to the dark sky and all i thought was - if none of this happen - but the one thing that was one my mind the whole time was just one word. One word that all of us human will never be satisfied about. One word that we all have in mind each and everyday of our lives. WHY
Soaking wet and burning necks. Both of us laughed to the movie Up. When we were dried up, we stink like ikan masin.
4 AM, the time when we got home from 3 hours of smoking sheesha at the same place. This time we really had our eyes open from not making the first mistake again. I somehow rested in peace with smoke smoke smoke.
"A house beside the beach, a graphic gallery with a florist shop beside it" I told Rachel Weiyi
And at the end of the day, it all come to the smell of the candle which made me happy, Kit Kat entertaining us when we got home, and Drag Me to Hell. At the end of the day i thought of nothing but thank i spent it with someone i love. At the end of the day, the gossips, the shoot-you-right-tru-the-heart, the laughs, the smoke, the beer, the lies, the immature, was all good.
At the end of the day, you're still alive.
