Okay… okay…. Ceritanya begini….
To my FB friends, I think you know what story I am telling.
My mum picked up Abang from school yesterday and in the car Abang called me. He sounded upset and from the semi-incoherent babble, I got the message that a girl has a crush on him. I heard Tok laughed like mad in the background, saying “Apalah Abang ni… benda merepek macam ni pun nak nangis…” and more roars of laughter from the grandma.
Picked them up from their class after work and here is our conversation.
“What happened ? Who has a crush on you ?”
“Normah…” Okay you guys know it’s a pseudonym, yeah ?
He he…
“But they said I have a crush on her !!” Pulak.
We were in the car, Adik was at the front passenger seat rubbing her feet, listening to the conversation. I dunno why I kept looking at her, seeing her cooly listening to her brother’s story was quite entertaining.
“How come ?”
“Macam ni. I was walking kan and then Jamilah called me. She and Normah were whispering whispering then Normah said Jamilah said I like her !”
Wah ! Direct tanya, okay ? Aku seram.
“Why did Jamilah say you like Normah ?”
“Because I gave her the Daisy Duck pen !!!!”
“In front of Jamilah ?”
“Yes…..” And itulah salah satu lesson why you must listen to your parents !!
On the way to the airport last week Abang told me his teachers want a present from him and he wants to buy presents for 39 of his classmates. 39 ? Kapak lah bapak kau nak oii…. Botak le lagi kepala dia ….
So I advised him to just buy for his best friends. Itupun amounted to 7. Okaylah. I bought pens in various colours with various Disney characters on them. The night before they went to school, I was reminding them over and over again to not dispense out the gifts in front of their other mates who are not getting them. Dah mak pelakon Oscar kan so we re-enacted the ways and the hows to panggil kawan slow-slow and bagi sorok-sorok.
“Whatever it is, no matter how long it is gonna take you, please do not and I mean DO NOT give them in front of your friends yang tak dapat. People can get hurt, okay. You must not hurt other people’s feelings !”
Haaa…. gitu lah pesan mak ini. It so happened I didn’t notice one pen although was not girly coloured but had Daisy Duck on it so the boy who got them of course le refused. He he……
So my boy gave the pen to Normah ni in front of si Jamilah ni and of course le si Jamilah ni buat conclusion gitu.
“Itulah I told you already…. DO not give the pen in front of anybody that is not getting it. If it were you, you wouldn’t get hurt ke ?”
“No…” Of course le jawapannya gitu.
“Okay if it was you and Karim were sitting together then Normah gave a pen to Karim, you wouldn’t rasa malu ke… hurt ke… wondering why Normah didn’t give you one also ?”
“No… I don’t care about that kind of stuffs…” Huh, boys !
I looked at Adik for help but she was still looking straight ahead, one hand still rubbing her thighs but there was a small smile on her face. She shook her head and murmured, “Stupidnya Abang ni…..”
He he… Aiyoh lah…..
“Well….. what to do it happened already…” I said.
“Itulah Jamilah said I have a crush on Normah because I gave her the pen and also because her mother likes me ….”
“Eh ? What’s that again ?”
“Oh… Normah’s mother likes me….”
“Her mother ? You know her ?”
“Yeah.. we’ve met before …”
Ha ?
“When ?”
“At school… Her mother asked me to take care of Normah from the naughty boys at school….”
O-kay…..
“She only asked you to do that ? She only knew you ke ? She doesn’t know the other boys ?”
“Oh.. she knows Karim too but she only asks me to take care of Normah…”
Pulak dah…. Apasal lak pompuan ni bagi keje kat anak aku ? Dia pun baby !
Hmmm……….
“Cantik ke Normah ni ?”
“I don’t know !” He answered with a laugh. “I don’t have an opinion on that !”
HAHHAHAHAHAAHHA… Aduh lah…
Then I went for the kill. “You like her ?”
“As a friend…….” Okay, good one.
Adik still have a little smile on her face. I was glad that she found the whole episode entertaining.
“Mummy….. please don’t tell Babah about this, okay ?”
“Why ?”
“I am soooo embarrassed lah…. Saya rasa macam nak pengsan ! And anyway, saya tak tahu crush tu rasa macam mana ! I have no idea ! I don’t know what they are talking about !”
This was the part where I positively roared with laughter. Dear me. Allah help me !!!!!!!
“Abang… takkan lah Mummy nak tanya (yup… she still hasn’t got tanya and bagitahu sorted out yet) Babah….” Said Adik.
We got out of the car and I noticed Adik was still smiling. If only I could just get one little look inside her brain. I am itching to know what she found so amusing !!!
Anyway, that night SIL came to the house. Her story is like this. Memang kecoh le masa balik pasal Abang kena usik dengan kawan-kawan. According to SIL mak si Normah ni memang suka kat Abang. Selalu puji kata Abang pandai (ini perempuan dah tengok ke report card anak aku yang kurang memuaskan itu ?), Abang handsome lah apa lah. Ikut dia, mak si Normah ni memang aim Abang. Okay, I don’t get that part.
“Si Normah tu yang suka kat Abang !! Suka lambai-lambai lah… Bukannya si Abang ni yang suka kat dia !”
Pulak dah.
“Masa balik tadi, si Normah ni lambai-lambai lah tapi Abang lari. Ajak Jamil (his cousin) pegi tempat lain…..”
He he…
Aku kan… he he…. Aku tak tahu nak cakap apa.
I for one thing find all this amusing. And seriously I am not angry. Love, puppy or real is a feeling that will come. Sure, I don’t know how to handle this but it is not something that I can avoid, or discourage. Well… which I can’t encourage either at this moment.
I am glad Abang told me, though. I am gald that he is comfortable enough to moan about this to me.
Although kenapa dia segan giler ngan bapak dia I dunno. Babah pun even after my warning pegi gelak-gelak tanya Abang. Mengamuk lah dia. Hai…
