You Are Here No More

By on Monday, August 29, 2011
In a mosque. After mass Zohor prayer. Heat. Sweat. Air blew from the revolving blades of fans above. Crowds murmuring their words. A wooden coffin covered with prayer mats placed at one corner of the prayer hall. A tall stranger patted my shoulder.

"Adik, jenazah lelaki ke perempuan tu?"

"Lelaki."

"Oh."

"Ayah saya."

"..."

Selamat Hari Raya y'all.

    geeds,
    Selamat Hari Raya, miss.

    DrSam,
    Eid Mubarak, Dokter Seng! No, you never terlanjur with me. Kah! Kah! Kah!

    perempuan,
    Dan ramai ingat semua orang seperti saya akan menjadi Islamik dan pemaaf. To hell with that.

    *rainyscream*,
    I know, miss. Did some stalking, and found out that geeds is a part of our friendship circle. She was a friend of yours. In keeping my anonymity, I thought I'd better keep thing a secret, until now.

    Anyway don't call me 'abang din' in blogosphere. It makes me look kiut. I don't wanna be kiut in blog. I wanna look mature, witty, and macho.
