All of us went to my cousin Nasha’s wedding. Umar, Elsa, Esya and Anna included, of course. It was a lovely wedding (hot, but still lovely) at Tasik Titiwangsa and the kiddies were having a blast playing and eating free ice-cream, which Mak Unggai thoughtfully hired the whole truck for the occasion. Yumm…
The children were having fun, running about and looking at the lake when suddenly Esya screamed in delight. “Look ! Look everybody ! Horses !!” Sure enough, when we looked there were two horses walking about, mounted by DBKL officials. The kids were excited, Anna especially who kept begging us to get her nearer to the magnificent creatures.
Anna rode with us on the way home, and as usual sat on my lap. We were chatting happily, talking about this and that. There was a lull on the conversation and we were just content looking at the scenery (I remember this so well. We were at the traffic light, underneath the NPE bridge, wanting to turn right to Pantai Dalam) when Anna broke the silence.
“Abah…. Anna nak osh….” Said she. She was not looking at Abah though when she said that.
“Aaa ? Osh ? Apa tu ?” Asked the Abah pulak.
Mummy was already laughing.
“Dia nak horse !! He he…. Anna nak horse ke ?” I asked.
She looked at me with that beautiful face and those lovely eyes that melted me. “Ha… Anna nak osh…” She confirmed, face all serious. My kids were noisy with excitement.
“Anna nak horse ke ?” Asked Umar who loves Anna dearly.
“Yey ! Anna nak horse !! Bah, I want one, too !!” Announced Titi bouncing happily.
Kesian Tok Mi pening kepala kat belakang… but she was laughing, too.
“Pandai Anna ye… Benda mahal-mahal mintak kat Abah, ye…..” Said me, teasing her. “Okay…. Anna kalau nak horse, kena mintak kat Abah betul-betul. Come on… look at Abah and say ‘Anna nak horse Abah… please…..’…..”
She turned around, looked at Dan, grinning away, head tilting to the side. Pandai sungguh….Sadly though shyness took over and she abandoned the act. She leaned on me and hugged me from the side.
“Anna nak osh…..” She whispered.

And aku being aku dok memikir macam mana aku nak bagi Anna kuda….. Macam mana yek ?
