After a week between Jelai, Kenanga and 443, I decided to look for some kemesraan at our Mesra home on Jalan Duta. So me Monchies and me were within the city limit around 1530 Sunday afternoon leaving Mom in trusting hands of my two littlest brothers. Instead of heading straight to our Mesra, I took the Monchies out for a treat (a break from my cooking, really) at Meatworks and later for grocery stock-up at the Solaris CS.
It was pretty nice to be in the Mesra embrace again after two months, I must say. The only embrace missing was Be’s.
But shortly after sundown my how’s-mom-doing standard sms was replied with Lam’s “call-me-please”… which was very rare, if not never at all. That was enough to make my heart skip three and a half beats! Mom slipped into her unresponsiveness again!
It’s exactly 12 hours to the very minute between us arriving in Mesra and now. I am driving through the mountains again bringing our love and Mesra to my Mom.

Enida, do you by any chance is speaking Pahang accent in the postlude? It’s so similar to my accent 😀
Emila, yes I am speaking Temerloh accent tapi sengaja dijelukkan! Hehe. I spent 2 years at ABS Temerloh. That’s where I picked the accent. Are you from the same town?
