I was standing there, looking at him from far.
"Does he even knows?"
_____________________________________________
"Unc! please take picture of me!. I will stand there."
It's my brother's wedding today, I'm really happy for him. It's a struggle to be married this young. and now I wonder who she will be... my future wife.
"Are you ready?" "Wait! Let me fix my shirt first.. okay! Ready!." "1..2..3!"
______________________________________________________________________________
I was watching him from far, trying to get a picture of himself looking smart and handsome.
"Isn't he the cutest thing?.. Wearing blue pink shirt. With his old glasses on..." all I could do is smile when my eyes catches him.
My friend, Fieza interrupt, "Hey! Look at those kids! So cute!!" "Hahaha, yeah."
_______________________________________________________________________________
"Is he sleeping?, must be tired from all this wedding." I said to myself while climbing the pelamin (bridal bed)'s stairs.
I walked towards baby Faruq, who is sleeping on the bridal chair and knelled down to see clearly of his sleeping face.
_______________________________________________________________________________
When I saw him kneeling down to look at the baby, walking passed a pretty little girl.
I feel warm inside, my heart was pumping hard. I clenched my fist, trying to hold it inside.
It was too much, beating so fast that I have to look away.
"W-what is this feeling?. He's just a kid (younger guy)."
_______________________________________________________________________________
"Amira. Why are you standing near the stairs? Be careful! I'm gonna get you!! You better run!!"
She turned around and ready to run as she saw I was approaching her.
"Ahhh! I'm gonna get you!! Wahhh!!"
She was laughing so hard that I had to continue chasing her until I get her.
______________________________________________________________________________
" hahaha, they look so cute running around like that." I think to myself while tip-toeing for better view.
There were many people that day. I was trying not to be obvious by staring at him for too long.
Thou I wasn't in the mood yet watching him playing with kids made me a little bit happy.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Few minutes later, my sister called out for me while I was playing with Amira.
"Ameerul! Can you please get my thumb-drive? It's inside Dad's car." "Alright! Going!."
While walking to the car, I was thinking of someone. She was looking at us just now.
"Who is she? Well. I know she's one of bro's friend. But why is she watching us with that expression?." I think to myself.
I turned to look at her and wonder to myself.
"Oh! She's walking to Amira.."
________________________________________________________________________________
"It's now or never!," I said and walked to the little girl who was standing still near the staircase.
Then I stood near the stairs, frozen, clueless.
All of a sudden, she reached out her hand to me. I was surprised. "Oh!.."
I hold her left hand while she walked down the stairs by her own. Her mother was watching us.
________________________________________________________________________________
While searching for the 'missing' thumb-drive, my mind was playing her expression over and over.
"Is there something wrong with her? Maybe she's feeling under the weather. Yeah."
It getting hotter and hotter inside the car, I was sweating so bad. My sweat is running down my face like waterfall. I took off my glass cuz it starts to annoy me.
"Ahhhh! There it is!! why are you hiding yourself from me!?!!"
I put everything to it place before I got out from the car. I found myself nagging the thumb-drive.
_______________________________________________________________________________
"It's time, we're leaving now." said Fieza.
I wasn't ready to leave, I haven't seen much of him.
"Please don't leave yet!." I begged to myself.
As I was forcing myself to walk to the exit, along with Fieza. I saw he got out from a car.
"Well, at least I got to see him this 'near' before I leave." I told myself. I kept staring at him for..maybe the first and last time.
________________________________________________________________________________
"Here you go! Your thumb-drive." while throwing it to my sister. "Thanks!."
Then, I saw my brother's friends were leaving. Where is she?.
"Ah...", she was already outside, smiling happily while checking out the souvenir she received.
Small Amira came stood next to me and pulled the tip of my shirt.
"Hmm? Yes? Why Amira?" looking down to her.
"Uncle Azim's friend told me this just now,
Please take care of Uncle Ameerul for aunty. Tell him I will be back soon to see him.
"Huh!?..." I was shocked and puzzled. "Who? I don't know any of them?"
I turned my gaze to her again. "Is it.....?"
