When the clock strike 2.30, everyday I would go to the basement to perform my zuhur prayer. There’s nothing interesting to be seen around that area. The condition of the surau is nothing to be proud of and the people there talked too loud even when there is somebody else performing their prayer. Yet, there is something that I look forward to.
There is this makcik. She has a very garang face but cute to me coz her face resembles to an exotic breed of cat which I like so much. Also, her face reminds me of someone I adore. The thing is with this makcik she loves to give me a stare. I dunno whether there is something wrong with me or it’s her nature that she loves to stare [perhaps there's something wrong with melah kot sbb die takde pon stare orang lain].
Apa salah saya makcik?
She would stare at me from my first step into the surau until I folded my sejadah. The thing is we always pray side by side. I always choose to pray next to her or it’s the other way around. She even stares while I was performing my prayer. Ye, Nampak macam aku tak kusyu’ but it was so damn obviouslah ok. Sampai senget-senget kepala dia.
But you know what? I like her. For no reason. I really like her. I mean she never open her mouth, she never smile but she never waste any time lepaking in the surau. She just stare, pray, folded her telekung and sejadah , stare again, comb her hair, put some facial product, stare and left.
Never at once I saw her smile. I always find the opportunity to smile to her. Talking to her would be something. But how to do so when each time I tried to make eye contact, she would look at some other direction.
And yesterday, on my way to take my wudhu’ I passed her by. I looked straight into her eyes and smiled.
To my surprise, she smiled back. Even it doesn’t really looked like a proper smile but still her lips tilted up, creating a beautiful smile.
She made my day.
Just as simple as that.
