now that i feel better, the mood to write is here..so here's the story..
my 26 years old brother plan to get married (akad nikah) after isya' prayer on 29th of october 2021. he married his classmate. he's a soldier, and his, now wife is a police.
due to the pandemic, i, never once, ever met my now sister in law. i know her face, i know their stories, but i never met her face to face. that's not a problem. i'm just stating the facts.
the real story i want to share here is, my bro, i called him "mekja"..yes, he's a man, but i call him "mekja", because, who cares right? i call my siblings whatever i want.
sooo..everybody was home for the solemnization, except for me. i need to work until 10pm on that night. but it's no big deal, since, even if i was home, i still can't attend the ceremony. only 6 people are allowed to attend. of course i should not be included 😅.
so my bus trip was scheduled at night, 11pm. the bus was not on time as usual as we never know how the traffic went right? so, the bus finally arrived at 11.55pm.
i was on the bus, slept on off. quite excited, because i miss my cat..i miss meeting my nieces and nephew..no, i'm not excited about meeting my sister in law..i never got excited meeting any adult 💁
it was near 5am, i was at pasir puteh/jerteh when mom called me saying, "nor, ja positif, tak payah balik rumah lah, cari la hotel kat mane2, malam nanti nor kena balik raub semula"
my feeling? dangggg..another trip on the bus going back to hostel..dangggg
i reached tesco bus terminal at 6 near 7am. toilet was calling me since i was at machang. my mind cant do its job well when this "toilet calling" happened.
finish toilet business, i finally felt well, grab some breakfast and do a bit of thinking.
at first i was planning to stay at the nearest hotel and go back to raub at night. because i thought there's no day bus trip. after talking to a taxi driver, he recommended me to just hop on the 9am bus. without wasting my mind's energy doing more thinking job, i decided to just get the 9am bus ticket. reached my hostel and get a loooong sleep.
and before i get the long comfortable sleep. i'll tell you about the bus trip back to raub. i met an old indian couple on the bus. there's an old malay couple too, but i don't talk much with them. instead, the old indian man, i call him uncle, ask for my help with his phone. it was at gua musang. he try to call his son name "Maran". he got some problems using the new smartphone, so he asked for my help.
after that he became so friendly that he said "sayo ado 6 ore anok, 2 tino, 4 jate, semo nikoh blako doh" "sayo dok mache, ni nok gi kala lupo, anok2 pakat nok kupo situ blako", "anok hok dok melako pon pakat gi kupo situ blako, nok sambut deepavali" "haritu buleh sore cucu, sebab covid ni, cucu buleh jale, lari doh baru buleh jupo" "cucu sayo 14 ore doh" sebenarnye aku tak pernah borak dengan indian kelantan sebelum ni..jadi ade macam wow sikit la..
not long after, he got a call from maxis hotline, and he pass the phone to me..i was like "what am i supposed to say?" (in my mind obviously)..a chinese woman speaking bahasa melayu on the line, asking for comfirmation about...idk..i don't hear well..i just push the decline button, or whatever u call it..the uncle told me, the number keep calling him..and i said, "takde ape kot"..
and i went back to sleep..
i reached raub at 4.30pm-ish. order some food at tapak lepak junior near my hostel saying that i'll pick it up later, i ordered 'nasi ayam gesek+grilled chicken+choc java chip'..went back to my room, take a shower, pray and went back to the restaurant to pick up my food. quite disappointed because i got the worst part of chicken for my "nasi ayam gesek"..bahagian isi nyah..arghh!!! spoil lah!!! and then still continue devouring my lunch+dinner while watching "lawless lawyer episode 6".
my life went back to normal as if nothing happen.
my butt cramp, my neck cramp, my back cramp. my right leg also got some weird feeling.
all because of me spending too much hours on the bus. huh.
12am-6am=6hours
9am-4.30pm=7.5hours
total=almost 14hours..
kalah trip pasir mas ke batu pahat..patut laaaa habis 1 badan aku sakit..tua dah aku nyah..
i hope things get better at home..
until next time..
bye
