Girl From Next Door

Saturday night. Out of the blue, someone rang the door bell. Kian answered the door.

It was a girl, claiming herself that she is our neighbour.

In her broken English: “Where is THE girl? The Malaysian girl”  “The one drives a white small car?”

I sensed the girl was obviously looking for me, thou I no longer own the white small car.

“are you looking for me?”

I hurried up myself from laundry room, while looking for a short pants.

“I am your neighbour. Do you remember me?”

I opened my eyes, wide. Clearly, not.

“Er.. you are?”

“I am your neighhour. Monday is Labour Day. I have a day off. I make a small party pack for you, thanking you for fetching me to uni sometimes ago.”

She handed a plate of goodies.

“Oh dear! You don’t have to do that! It is my pleasure”

Hmm. I did fetch a few people to uni from my area when I was in uni. I totally understand how difficult it is living in Perth without a car! I always thought, might as well eh, since we all going to the same uni anyway. I shall make use the petrol.

I saw the Vietnamese rolls, man! That is my favourite! I couldn’t resist to say NO by then. Alas, ppl susah susah made it for me, might as well let me ’sapu’ everything, right?

She walked out from the shadow of light, feeling so please. I, on the other hand, just realised I almost happily ’sapu’ ppl sushi, without asking her name.

Gosh! 

p/s: Honey, don’t worry. I never picked any other boy(s) on my way to uni. ;)
