It's been a long while since we last chatted over a cup of coffee. Yea...I missed you much! You...who have always been there....
This time I was different - at least attire-wise....hahaha....but to you I'm still the same girl you went through college with. We had our moments ya! Those poor days in college...those poor days when we first worked. The days when we had maybe RM20 between us...yet it was still enough to fill the tank, to enjoy nasi ayam and drinks for two and still have about RM2 left for a small pack of ciggies....[and you always swiped my ciggies!!].
But we were pretty happy being poor. There was always laughter and such strong appreciation for whatever we could afford with our RM20. It became a game for us to see what we could eat after RM5 or RM10 was spent on petrol...there was always the RM2 nasi ayam to fall back on! And that makcik would give us extra big portions just because she liked the way we smiled....hahaha....
You used to call me "panglima" because of my "bahasa tersurat" ie my straight talking style. And I called you "dato bendahara" for your utterly "berlapik" mode of speech - we had such different personalities! The number of times you went, "takpe, takpe, Ijan...biar I yang cakap kat dia" because you knew I'd wreak havoc with my straight talking ways...hahaha...
We couldn't meet as often when we had "big" jobs - what with our travelling schedule and also our respective family obligations. However, we would be there for each other in spirit. We knew all about each other's family - births, deaths, marriages, divorces, ailments, kids, spouses, work bla bla bla....
The funny thing was we were never interested in each other romantically - it was pure friendship right from the start. And it blossomed into "sahabat"-ship. I love you my "sahabat"....and I know, without a doubt, how much I'm loved in return :)
Semoga kita bersahabat juga di jannah....insyaallah...... :)
