“How are you feeling?”
I know fairly sure I’m asking the obvious. She is not feeling well. It’s true that I’m the one with the itching throat, occasional cough and a wee bit dizzy but she’s worst.
She was helplessly disoriented.
The bustling car outside and the very smoky mamak stall seem pretty quiet to her.Like she’s exist in another parallel mamak stall where it’s not smoky and crowded.
I nudged her back to reality.
“Your maggi goreng is getting cold”
I briefly point my fork to her food. I was half guilty savoring my “nasik kandar” while she’s struggling with hers.
She gave me a weak smile and start nibbling few strands of maggi. Forcing herself to look ok.
For once I just don’t understand.
How can boredom become a reason and make you left someone you love?
