:: The Not So Blank Page ::


Life is full of twists and turns.  Sometimes you can get tangled up like hair without Sunsilk.  And when you try to run your fingers thru yer hair, yer fingers get trapped in it that yer scalp hurts, or a bubblegum that stuck on your hair and you try so hard to remove it.

Well, cuppla months back, I was doing my routine run at Taman Bandar, I bumped onto a husband to a dear friend of mine. A very very dear friend. He raised his head and threw a smile.  The next day I saw him again.  Did nothing but waved his hand as he jogged past me.   

And few days after, she told me, okay this may sound perplexing, she told me that her hubby told her, that her hubby met me while we were jogging and she told me that the hubby asked if I’m seeing anyone at the moment.  Weird wasn’t it?

And you know what she asked me to do?  Surprisingly, she asked me to flirt with her husband just to see if he flirts back.

And I went like – wtf??? No no no... I didnt say double you tee ef.  I said - what the fuck.  I was just trying to be polite up there. 

My exact line to her was – ‘you’re asking for trouble.  nanti nyesal’.

I stopped my running regime at Taman Bandar from that day onward. 

Funny when your dearest friend doesn’t have faith on you.

And today...

Its all started with a two-miscalls from a male colleague around 10.20pm last night.  And a text around 1.25am that read: ‘what is the fadhilat of ar rahman and when is the suitable time to recite it’.  (I’d normally place my fon on silent mode each time I hit the sack.)

Yes I did give him an advice to recite the Surah whenever he feels low.

I read the miscall notification and deleted it off and I just couldn’t be bothered to reply to his text or to call him back as it was 2am.  And he’s married.  Go figure!  And even if he isn't I dont call friends at 2am!  Unless if I start to get chummy with a guy, itu pun, the call would start as early as 9pm that'll drag until 4am.  And it would be like the 'you hang up, no you hang up' kinda conversation.

I went back to sleep only to wake up at 6am when my cellphone alarm buzzed. Upon switching it off I saw another 2 miscalls from him.  But still, it’s too early either to reply to his text or to return his call.  Again, he’s married and I am very much aware of the rule!

I woke up and did my daily routine i.e solat, ironing my workwear and waking up Alyssa. And before I left for shower I checked again the phone.  Another 3 miscalls from him, that put me on a apa-mamat-ni-nak moment.  Probably because I didn’t reply to his text that he had to call me so many times…  I finally replied to his 1.25am text telling him that the surat has so many fadhilat.  In hope he stops calling me.

Guess what chickadees?  It was his wife, trying to call me using his cellphone.  To cut the story short, she managed to get me this afternoon and talked about him.  It was just like a mouthy housewives session.

What am I getting myself into???

I’m not gonna let history repeat itself.

  2. The request she asked you to flirt with her hubby sounds like she doesn't trust him, not at you.
