last date with old flame

I met Farhan the other day. He’s going to get married by end of the week. Spending his last few days as a bachelor with me… haha!

Remember when 1st met him. It was in 2000. I was a new asst. editor and he’s an animator. We have nothing in common actually. He used to hang around with Waknin and I was with Leenda and Aqil most of the time. I can’t really remember how did it happened… all I could remember is, 1 fine day… he asked me out. I think it started from there…

We were even closer when our office moved to PJ (but is closer to Aqil… till now!)… I started to like him and sending signals, there would be once or twice that he seems to respond to the signals but never make any move and later never responded to any. I thought, might be bertepuk sebelah tangan. And, don’t want to jatuhkan air muka, think it’s better for us to be good friend instead. I still like him until the day before I left for Auckland. I asked my parents to send a pair of rabbits for him. Got to know, he sembelih the rabbits! What a guy!

Things changed when I came back. Was busy with work and couldn’t find the time to hang out with friends anymore and partly due to me staying with my parents. So once in the blue moon, I’ll lepak-lepak. Actually, it’s getting tougher to lepak with friends when having bf. Too many restrictions I think.

When we met, Farhan said… “nape la ko tak bagitau kat aku yang ko dlu suka kat aku… aku ingat ko tak suka orang cam aku… “
I said, “ko gila ke… takkan ko nak aku gedik2 kat ko…”.
“rupa2nya masa ko bagi aku rabit tu, ko mmg suka kat aku la…”.
“Haaaa… aku siap bagi ko peluang utk berkenal2 dgn parents aku tu… Siap parents aku menghantar rabit kat umah ko… tapi ko gi makan rabit tu… sampai hati……..”

It was fun… talking about the good old days… and joking about our foolishness… and the ‘IF’ we were to be a couple… and everything… lastly to wish him all the goodness in this world for finally making it. It’s a good thing that he’s finally found his love and its better that way than marrying someone like me…

Life has so many paths… maybe I took too many that was less travelled. I believe I’ve learnt… insya-Allah…
