I found them! Kengkawan lama. Barang yang lepas yang saya kenang-kenang. A part of the puzzle that made me ME. The Enida, la Enida. Come questa, come quella…si. Yesterday, I spoke with Ell whom I had not heard from since graduation. I did hear about him from some friends who suspected that Ell was ‘badly involved’ in the storm yang melanda Kota Marudu years ago. We all thought he didn’t make it, we all sent silent prayers. I prayed the hardest. My prayers were answered when he said “Hello!” yesterday.
Then this morning, I found Rozie. My search finally came to an end – puzzle solved. She’s seventeen days into her confinement period. Confined, but alive, kicking and laughing! Oh how I missed her and her forever-positive outlooks on life. I am looking forward to spending time with old pals now.
I am making another call now to the Head of HR of the MMC Oil & Gas Engineering located at the PNB Building, seen right across from my second bedroom. The kepala of HR there is one of my satu-kepala friends back in uni. Wish me luck though I don’t think I need any. Heee heee. I am smiling ear to ear.
For some reason, this old song came to mind:
Antara Benci dan Rindu
Yang…hujan turun lagi
Di bawah payung hitam kuberlindung
Yang…ingatkah kau padaku
Di jalan ini dulu kita berdua
Basah tubuh ini
Basah rambut ini
Kau hapus dengan sapu tanganmu
Yang…rindukah kau padaku
Tak inginkah kau duduk di sampingku
Kita bercerita tentang laut biru
Di sana harapan dan impian
Benci benci benci tapi rindu jua
Memandang wajah dan senyummu sayang
Rindu rindu rindu tapi benci jua
Bila ingat kau sakiti hatiku
Antara benci dan rindu di sini
Membuat mataku menangis
