A girl who I came to care, unconditionally.

Listen to my story. 

I will now let you in to a story of me with a girl that even I was suprised how I even came to care of her, to the extent of telling her. Her friend calls her Sally.

A girl, no matter how many times she denies it, she will always remember every detail, every moment, every piece of the memories you've left her. No matter how much she tries to forget, it will always be there.

My story with her happened at a University, I always remember that my main reason to come to that place was only for one goal. To get my degree and get a better job for a living. Never did it come to my mind to find a woman and have a relationship while studying. Because I know better, it will distract me from my goal.

It was in the fourth semester of studying, for the second time I was in the same section with her. I have a closed friend, his name is Terence. Terence was my friend, a brother of mine since my days in Polytechnic of Kota Kinabalu. Since he was a Sarawakian, and kinda got that playboy groves (as how I see him) he knows of her and other Sarawakians in that University. Terence is not that kind of man that plays with someones heart, I know him. I think it's because he only have one elder sister, that's the reason he is humbly friendly to others, even though he is kinda good with the greens(if you know what I mean). 

Let me start, how my care for her develops inside me. It was like any other night, Terence was asking me to join him to spend some time, take a break for a while. Never did I know that he was about to bring her and another friend of her, Linda. She was always so close to Linda, they're kinda like siblings, always so close to one another. I find that cute. Terence park his car just below her house, where she stay. She was already outside with Linda. Terence got out, and greet them, takes out a cigarette and joins them. I'm not a smoker, so I just stay inside his car.

My eyes caught her, she looks at me. Slowly, she walk towards Terence's car. She was wearing a white T-shirt that night. She taps the window and look at me, I know the eye of someone who looks down on you, I know what her eyes means, I can read people just by looking at them. I know that in her mind she was saying, "what the hell are you doing here?" I just look at her, and change my view to the lights at shops around the place. In my mind, I was saying, "You don't know me girl, don't underestimate me, you underestimating the wrong guy." That night, I promise that I show her one day, who am I. I let that feeling hidden inside of me, I don't want to embarrass my best friend good intention of letting me join him for the night. Only God knows of my anger, I'm a professional, I handle my life professionally.

Almost every saturday and sunday night, Me, Terence, her and her friends hangout. I'm just joining in for Terence, never I had in my mind to know her or her friends more than I want, it's how I see her, she is not wild. She just want to take a breath, the only thing that I don't like about her is, she smokes. Well, what do I need to care, I'm not that fond of her or her friend Linda. To tell you the truth, this Linda girl unfriended me from Facebook, I think it was on the night where I didn't greet them during a student meeting with Dr.Affandi. Sheliza and Martha (other two Sarawakian friends of mine) didn't do that to me, I just let that aside, She does got the looks but on the inside, I'm pretty sure she is someone who just want to take advantage on you. I know her type, I'm sure of that.

So, our hanging out routine was always that mall, BP Mall. It's just like what I do when I was in Polytechnic. Window shopping, looking on what is in store, dine, watch movies, typical mall stuff like that. On one night, we stop by this restaurant. It got an open bar karaoke. I sure love to sing, I don't care even a bit of what people might said after they heard my voice. So, Linda and her, with another friend of them Hidayah, look at a list of song, I found what I want to sing so I just join in. I'm always in if it is karaoke. I pick a song from Bee Gees and Michael Learns To Rock. When we done, I gave them my part of share for the karaoke bill, she paid for one of the song that I sing. I was kind of suprised, didn't she hate me? Why did she do that? In my mind, I think she is just being nice. Well I appreciate that, sincerely.

Morning come, another lecture day. It was Machine Control. Terence was not in because he got a test. Usually, Linda and her sit near to me and Terence. That day, Linda and him was not in, she asked me if Terence would be coming, I told her about his test. She got up, and sit with the other girls. "Good, don't you try and get cozy with me." That's what I have in my mind. Our classmates look at us, amazed maybe.


Semester break comes in. It just for a week. I think it is a good time for me to get myself a ride. I want to use it during the short semester. I ask Cornelius, a friend of mine, to accompany me to search for a good ride. Since Corn have some experience in dealing with people, I asked him to come along.





I came to Kuala Lumpur with Corn. Test drive a few cars, then I finally decide that I want this, a 2000 Kia Sephia. It got DVD Player, Kenwood ICE, just perfect for a student like me. So, I gave it the name Sephiroth. Now I have an advantage in mobilizing my way around Batu Pahat area.

I bought it using my own money, cash. I'm not so dependent on my family. Actually I've been saving my pay from my previous work in Texas Instruments. I was a Maintenance Technician before I came to the University. The other reason for me to get myself a ride is to prove some people that they are wrong if they think I came from people with financial problems. My father has a palm oil plantation and my mother is a businesswoman. The reason I was late to further my studies is just a matter of choice. I want it that way.

So, I come back to Perwira Residential College(PRCC) along with Corn, I really love to drive, I am so into the motoring world. Ask me anything about it, I know it. I got  my camera, and I post about Sephiroth in my Facebook. Terence was the first one to notice about it, there are some ungood vibes coming around my circles in Facebook, I guess some people just can't help being negative when you got good things coming to you.

Terence called me to come by his house, he wants to or rather demands to know what my ride is. So I came to his house, when he saw it all hell break loose, hahaha. So, he decide that we should hang out at that place, BP Mall. Never did I know that he was about to tag Linda and her along. In my mind, I was saying "In all of this place, why must you ask those two to tag along? Among all of people in this place, that two who are shouldn't be riding my ride." Ironic, but believe me, I don't want to get any closer than just an acquiantance to those two. It's how I observe that two, they're the kind of girls that if you get to close to them, you'll end up as a fool.

So, here I am driving my ride to her place. "Why must this happen?" I said that in my mind. I stop at her place, Linda and her was already down. Looking at Linda's eyes, I'm more convinced of her "Advantage Taking" type. Seriously, I'm not bringing my ride with the intention to impress Sally or Linda or any girl. I got my ride so that I will not be late to attend my class anymore, that's my only reason. She got in, I greet her. She ask of my ride, I tell her I brought it during that one week semester break, so that my mobility during the short semester is increased. Reading her face, I think I've teached her a lesson. "Now you see what I'm capable of, don't you dare underestimate me." That is what I said in my mind. "Be kind to unkind people" that is also one of my favourite quote. The best thing to teached unkind people is to always be kind, so that they know how rotten they are inside.

We head out to that mall. Well because there aren't so many mall around Batu Pahat area, that's the only place. We dine at The Chicken Rice Shop, window shopping, looking at new geeky gadgets. I wear my bluetooth headset at that time, felt like a spy indeed.

1st May comes, I want to ask my "little brother" Khairil to join me for a trip to Johor Bahru, instead he was dead asleep. "Let him be", I said that in my mind. I ask Corn, he was already set. Actually I didn't even plan this. Hahaha! So, I ask Terence if he want to join in for the ride,he was sleeping. Then I ask his housemates, Sheldon and Tony. There, we go 4 people on an unplanned road trip.

I really love to drive on the highway, where I can just drive. Never did I imagined that I will be driving to Johor Bahru on my own ride. Our first stop was at The Danga City Mall. We tried all kind of things there. Archery, Musical Instruments, Airsofts you named it. Danga City Mall gives me an alternative "Mall Adventure."

Hanging out with my friends on JB was awesome, mainly because it was unplanned. An Accidential Road Trip, crazy. We were just like little boys enjoying our time without any care of the world, just us friends doing crazy stuff that was so uncalled for.

Our last heading was Danga Bay, it was raining when we got there. I print the memories of I did on that day in my mind. One day, I would like to go on another road trip with my best buddies. Just us the road and the unexplored world.

Final test for that semester came in, since I was in my main course was Robotic, my last paper was on the last day before the semester break. Terence called me, asking to hang out with the girls. Actually, I was already planning to head out with my Ex-Poly mates on that night. Then again, you know Terence always demanding like a spoiled little brother of mine. So, I decide that I'll hang out with my Ex-Poly mates on the other night and hang out with Terence and the girls instead.

I went to Terence's house and pick him up. I ask him why doesn't he go out with Sheila (his Girlfriend) instead. He said she's partying with her fellow mates, since it is their final days in UTHM. So, we head out to pick up the girls. First stop KKTDI.

Sheliza, Martha and Linda was already waiting for us. Throwing tantrums because I was late, well that day I was on my last paper for the semester. What can I do, I'm still wearing the same clothes while attend the paper. They got in and we went to pick  her, Sally. As usual she was already waiting, she got in and next stop, where else if it's not BP Mall.

Not much to do when we get there. Me and Terence just let those girls hang lose. When we finish our mall routine, the girls were already waiting beside my ride. Sheliza asked me, what was the topic I was talking about with Terence before we got there. I just said, "Nothing special, just some man talk." Sally was asking me to open up the door, tired of standing maybe. Do the magic and she's in. Me, Terence and the girls(except her) chat for a while. Sheliza asked me to shut the door and let Sally locked up inside The Sephiroth. "Nah, can't do that, even though I'm kinda like a devil."

Then she barge into the conversation, when we talked about what section I'll be for the next Semester. She convince me to stay at Section 3. I can read her why, "Mobility Advantage or Just wanna be a friend?" that is what I said in my mind. Well, I'm okay with any Section, but the girls insisted because Felix and Corn were the only Borneo Boys in their circles. So I agree, it doesn't hurt hanging around with these girls for a change. We got in and headout to grab something to eat.


P/S: I think I stop here for now, I'll continue this later.
