I met this guy… I
mean we don’t actually met. We got to knew a
bit of each other on this sophisticated social network-Facebook. Should
I say thanks to Mark Zuckerberg? Or should I say I regret it instead? The
answer is blurred in my mind. And I don’t even wanna know the answer. All I
wish is that, just like the song, wake me up when it's all over.
I don’t wanna write
every bit of everything about how we met in Facebook and in person. I just want
to write this because I want to remember how I professionally met a guy for the
first time. Ugh, at least that's how I felt today. Oh are you kidding me? Actually
I'm a bit ridiculous and always stumble when meeting a guy. I could remember I
met like two guys and it was an arranged meeting. I tried to act normal and end
up staggering. Those days were gone with the wind I guess. I felt stupid
remembering all those moments.
Today was not
actually arranged for me to meet with somebody. I was told yesterday that I'd
be sent to accompany the front-liner of my family to give respect to the
invitation of one of our family friends. And off we went. I actually expected
that I might met him there but made no extra effort look more pleasant
whatsoever.
It bores me during
the occasion. Coz one friend I knew was conducting the ceremony so I have no
one to talk to. Suddenly I saw this familiar face coming inside. He has this
cool smiling face. And right at the moment I saw him my heart went crazy
inside. It feels like they're frantically drumming through my chest. Crazy! I
tried not to look at his side. He took a seat at the side so I felt relieved
that I wont have the pressure of meeting his gaze ( if he ever stares at me).
And somehow I regret that I didn’t made any effort to made myself more
attractive. Too late. The show was on now. I didn't glance at his way because
circumstance may need me to open a conversation while the ceremony is still
going on and it supposed to be conducted solemnly.
We sat silent and I
pretend to pay my every attention to the ceremony. No one seemed to know that I
actually my mind was so distressed and tensed. I act cool though. Damn. I just
knew this will happen.
After the somber
ceremony he stood and went inside the dining area of the house without glancing
on our side. Okay. I'll catch with him later. My friend was also his friend. So
it'll be easy to at least acknowledge him. No, don't get me wrong. I felt the
need of me to get to talk to him so that at least he'll know that I appreciate
his giving me of chocolates and every chat we did last time.
After some time
chit-chatting with his folk, he went out towards us. Our mutual were actually
sitting together with us. I started. Oh girl… I took it like I'm some kinda
expert and whoa…I didn't stumble. He too. He's so mature and sensible. Like him
=) (regardless the rumor I heard about him)
♦I called him by his first name to acknowledge him.
With a smile of course.
♦He too. I think he smiles a lot. Or at least he put
up a smiling face on his for this occasion. And he extended his hand to me. I
think I heard him called me by my surname. We shook hands. (I felt I'm so very
casual and very business-like here.)
♦We started a small conversation. Not much. Just so
we could talk. Thanks to our mutual friend.
♦He seemed to know everyone in the occasion. Of
course he should, after all they're his folks.
♦I introduce my aunt to him. He repeated my
introduction, like to confirm that he heard it right.
♦My aunt thought he's a gentleman. He really seemed.
♦We ate our own food together. Once again thanks a
million to our mutual friend.
♦And time went by fleetly. Aunt decided that we must
go. So I said we'll go ahead to him. He said we'll just go together.
Unfortunately I said my aunt is rushing for sembahyang. He finally said yes.
End of show. No it's
not actually a show. It's me. Real. But it's end of my business-like meeting
with a guy. And bravo to myself I did handsomely =)
Generally I like
him. I don’t know about him, on the other hand. But not to the extent that I
fall my heart on him, okay. The limit does exist.
