I woke up to an extremely dark room… To my left i saw a faded green light blinking away furiously, the way traffic lights urged a sense of impatience…I had tolerated many nights being intruded with the lights that now it gave me a sense of familarity… knowing where i was…. It was still in the early hours and i could tell that i was already late for work…
So with that nagging feeling i dragged my now impatient self into the bath… It was a quick shower as i let my hands go auto pilot, while my mind wondered to the unfinshed setting i had to complete today…
Scrurrying past the kitchen i went to dress for werk, as i heard noises in the guest room…
As soon as i was covered, i left my door open… and true enough there she was….looking blankly at me.. Didnt know what to say i just mumbled ‘Man, im late for werk’ She walked away.
As i continued to get dressed, prep my face and so on, she kept walking back and forth from the kitchen to the guest bedroom… With an ocassional pop into my room, i suddenly felt more relaxed.
Switching off my bedroom light i went to the kitchen to get a drink and she followed close behind… ‘Wah its raining so heavily’ i exclaimed. ‘Hmmph’ she grunted and went back to the guest room….
i walked past the living room to the door and realised it was almost impossible to wear my heels today. so i decided to change in the office and went for my comfy sandals instead. As i gave her my hand to extend the traditional muslim respect ‘Ok im going ok’ she replied me ‘Mana? (where)’
‘Work la where else’…’Hmmmph’ she gruntled again and disappeared into the darkness of the room. i went out and suddenly felt a sense of warmth on my face… It was then i realised like the rain i was dripping too….
