Padanlah.

I was getting ready when 'Aliya entered the room. She sat on the bed and looked at how I was struggling to zip up the back of my 'baju kurung moden'.

'Aliya : Kak long ada kenduri lagi?

Me : Haah.

'Aliya : Kawan Along kawen ke?

Me : Ye, kawan Along. Takkan kawan adik lak.

'Aliya : Adik tanya je la.

I laughed at her, kejam I know I am. She kept on observing me as I hastily re-applied my smudged eyeliner, her jaws dropping without noticing.

Me : Melopong tengok Along tu kenapa?

'Aliya quickly closed her mouth and chuckled a bit, malu terkantoi sambil buat-buat kemas katil tiba-tiba.

Me : Adik duk umah eh. Along gi kejap je.

'Aliya : Ok.

I was about to exit the room when I noticed I left my brooch on the pink drawer. As I went to get it, 'Aliya stopped me midway.

'Aliya : Along! Adik dah tahu nape Along tak kawen lagi.

Me : Heh?

'Aliya : Sebab kak long pandai gosok baju, pandai masak, pandai kemas rumah.

Me : Huh? Ape adik cakap ni?

'Aliya : Betul, ***** kawen aritu tapi dia tak reti lagi buat semua yang Along buat.

Me : Mandai je. Jodoh dia da sampai awal, bukan sebab tak reti masak ke ape.

'Aliya : Betullaaa, Wan pun cakap camtu masa cakap dengan Ummi. Adik dengar.

Me : Ala, dia dah kawen tu dia reti la buat tu semua nanti.

'Aliya : Tapi kalau adik pun adik mesti kawen dulu nanti dari Along.

Me : Sebab adik tak reti kemas rumah semua eh?

'Aliya : Bukan adik sengaja yang tak reti, Along yang tak bagi adik buat.

Me : PAPE JE LAH DIK OI TEPI HA ALONG DAH LAMBAT NI.

And she yelled "Betullaaahhh" behind me as I left the house. 'Aliya's little theory buat Along terfikir, and I laughed at some point while driving. It could be coincidently true to some people I've known, and I never ever thought of it until that day!

So lepas ni Along kena buat-buat tak reti masak, tak reti gosok baju dan kemas rumah lah supaya leh kawen cepat, ye dik? -_-"
