the story..
he told me that he approached the girl, towards the end of his master course ( which is after 2 years being in the same class).
he said, he looks for her email in the class registration, then he sent her an email.
his exact word would be :
i am interested to get to know you better, i have been observing you for quite sometimes. i don’t have the luxury of time, but if we are compatible, if you think it is ok after getting to know me, i would like to proceed with marriage ( ermm.. bukan exact word kot, but more or less like this lah.. aku bukan ada recorder nk record everything he said)
but she replied with something insignificant, assuming that he’s just playing around. so he reply back in details, what did the girl do in every class, where she always sits, who picks her up, what subject she took and all. (ermm.. agak stalker)
and the reply came back quite a turn off.. hihi.. she said ” r u the one, driving honda accord?” (ah ah ah. kalau aku dh putus semangat masa tuh. becoz obviously he’s not driving any honda.)
he asked her out 11 times, but was rejected, and the last one was dinner, he said, he’ll be waiting, he’s serious to get to know her, if she thinks she is interested to know who he is, please come, and ask for his name from the waiter, he’ll be waiting.
*sigh*
agak persistent kan. so after the first date, and few more, he went to see the father, said that he sincerely wants to marry his daughter, that he’ll be sending the rombongan meminang. but he thinks that the father’s blessing is the most important thing.( and 3 months after that, they are married)
so there goes the real courtship story. i did ask, whether she had a bf that time, and yeah she did, but he was in US. his answer to me was, the best man win. *wink*
and i asked where the heck did he get that kind of guts. he said, because, he said to himself, this would be the last one, he did try few times before, it didnt work out, he said, if she didn’t respond, he would not try again with any other girl, so that is why he tried hard.
he said, that girl like to know things that are certain, and secure. i replied ” yeah, i know, i’m a girl” ( dlm hati, a ah, lelaki nih ha yg selalu confuse kan)
he is my cousin, (10 yrs older). when he did that, he was 31, she was 25. he is not in any way goodlooking, we used to mock him because he used to say he would want to marry wan zaleha radzi. ah ah ah.. tk ke btol rasa nk gelak bila dgr? but his wife is really pretty. if you ask me to describe her, she’s like rose, mmu junior sethn tu. junior sekolah aku, sheyna and meg?
he really gets what he wants, in the end.
will we get what we want? i always believe that we will get what ever we focus on getting.
but the question is, do we really know what we want.? i, myself have no answer, for now. i don’t even quite sure what i really need. becoz i think i’m a bit lost now.
*Lost In Translation*
