Fine, kalau takde orang lain update, meh I tell you a story what happened yesterday.
Semalam I pergi dobi baju. But that's not the interesting part.
I noticed that I seriously don't have any clothes to last more than 2 weeks. By the end of every 2 weeks, I'll be out of fresh clothes. And miraculously, I have been living like this for half a year =D Surprise surprise.
So I got the determination untuk keluar dalam cuaca yang sejuk gila pergi beli baju baru. Tanak second hand, asyik second hand je, terasa kemiskinan ni. So I headed to the most cheapest apparel store kat sini (yang i rasa murah la) which is Old Navy. Baju dia tak style, but who cares, I need something to wear.
So I pun headed to Old Navy kat Lechmere nek tren. Turun-turun tren, kena lintas jalan nak gi Mall. Galleria Mall. Nama macam canggih, tapi tak sedahsyat Midvalley (Midvalley dahsyat ke? haha, anyway) And masa nak lintas jalan tu, ada sorang pakcik ni bagi salam. Badan cam gempal sket, muka adala macam arab and pendek sikit dari i.
Rasanya kat sini kalau ada orang islam nampak orang pakai tudung, dia jadi cam eksaited gila kot and assume semua orang yang pakai tudung reti cakap bahasa arab. Sebab kat tempat I tinggal, orang pakai tudung a.k.a. orang islam is a common occurrence. In fact, ada masjid kot belakang rumah I... yang I pergi just untuk makan kat cafe dia je (karipap dia masin gila). Anyway, pak arab ni bagi salam and mula cakap arab dengan bahagianya and I was like "Oh, uh, sorry, I can't speak arabic". And he was like, "You wear, hijab, can't speak arabic?" dengan muka smug face dia.
"Yeah, I can't. Though I can pray and stuff, hahaha," dahla tak kenal siapa pakcik ni =.=; boleh pulak dia hina saya in public.
And then, dia bagitau yang dia boleh cakap arab and perancis, tapi takleh nak cakap BI properly.
Thus, korang boleh imagine la conversation kitorang macam mana. Dengan dia slang perancis + arab and I yang tak paham pape, tapi I still try to be nice and play along with the weird conversation. I mean, dia pakcik yang lagi tua dari i, orang islam and dia tegur I, takkan nak bagi the cold shoulder kan?
Kan?
And dia bagitau yang dia datang USA sebab nak visit saper entah, tak paham. And dia tanya I buat apa kat sini, berapa lama dah duduk sini, duduk sorang2 ke and amik degree apa and such.
And then I tanya dia nak pergi mana? Balik rumah ke?
And dia jawab something yang I tak paham. Tapi I rasa dia kata nak balik rumah sebab nak solat asar.
And then dia tanya nama I and I bagitau dia nama sebenar I.
And then I proceed to enter the mall.
And dia ikut. Dia ikut! And I was like, "Oh, you're here shopping as well?" And dia kata something yang I tak faham lagi.
Pastu dia tanya I slalu shopping kat 'SUPPAHRUMERKETTT' ke?
And I'm like, "(oh, dia cakap supermarket ke?) No, not often"
Pastu dia mintak nombor.
.....
I bagitau dia I takde phone sebab I tak guna (padahal I bawak phone dalam poket kot, kalau ada orang call/msg time tu, memang kantoi bodoh weh. I nak off phone, tapi sebab I guna clamshell phone, susah nak tekan butang off dalam poket without having to take the phone out).
Pastu I walked to the apparel store, and on the way tu, rapat gila dia nak berkepit
"Oh, huh, yeah, I am"
"Ou ai em singrel tuu, hahahah~"
Ye ke? Macam menipu je.
Pastu dia tanya nak kawin ke tak.
.. did I hear that right? He asked me to marry him? (>.<;) no way man! dahlah kau cakap apa pun i tak faham tiba-tiba nak ajak kawin lak. And he kept on asking meagain and again and again and again!
Then I cakap kat dia, oh, takleh kawin la, I dah ada tunang (this is a white lie this is a white lie this is a white lie).
And then dia still dok kata, jom la kawin jom la kawin jom la kawin, oh saya suka nama awak, kamu cantik, saya prefer kawin dengan orang muslim, saya suka baju awak etc etc.
This is like the most awkward, annoying and funny situation I've ever been in. Amboi, bab kawin, tau pulak dia cakap BI lancar. Gila menyampah.
Bila I masuk kedai baju tu, I terus pergi lingerie and swimsuit section, dengan harapan dia segan ke apa ke, tapi dia still ikut weh!! Weh! Weh!! WEH!!! Gila la laki ni! Menyampah WEH!
Dia siap boleh kata oh, kat magribi/morocco or whatever entah nama country dia tu, for 20$ you can buy 5 clothes. And I'm like "Yeah, sure, whatever, it's not like I'm at maghribi now, so your opinion is invalid."
Then I tanya dia "Why are you following me?"
"Say again?"
"Why are you following me?"
"Family?"
"Why are you following me?"
"Father?"
"Why are you FOLLOWING me? do you know what 'following' is?"
Pastu dia cakap ape ntah, tak faham gak. This is starting to get out of hand.
Time tu, I'm still trying to be nice, and hinting to him to GO AWAY. But he didnt get the hint, and followed me around as I tawaf the whole apparel store like, 5 times. Masa tengah tawaf dengan dia, adalah terjumpa sorang makcik pakai tudung tengah usya baju, so i cakap kat dia, "Oh, shes wearing a hijab too! Maybe you can ask her to marry you >=D"
Dia tak faham =.=;
Finally, dia cakap dia nak gi solat asar, so dia kena balik. Pastu dia tanya I bila lagi boleh jumpa. I cakap entah, I dunno. Minggu depan free tak? Oh, saya ada kelas. Hari jumaat gi masjid solat jumaat tak? (mazhab mana dia ni?) Oh, saya tak solat kat masjid (gila jahil). Minggu depan shopping sini lagi tak?
Finally!
Kalau dia dah ikut I lama sikit, I dah panggil security dah.
So, anyway, I got what I wanted, after about 1hour + being followed by an overly friendly stranger, and got home safely.
The End.
Thanks for reading.
