Went to Marche over the weekend with Mr.Rockstar and what a revelation bumping into the usual Marche staffs. They were surprised to see me in my new size. I've shrunked according to Firdaus (the juice & tea man) and I'm with someone new. They thought I was married since its been awhile I visited my usual spot or I might have migrated. None, I assured them.
Firdaus was eager to share the news on certain someone, Uncle aka Azmi. He knew I was going to ask about him and he said he had something to share with me and he told me no to freak out. Apparently, Mizi (the cashier dude) had instructed Firdaus to bare all the stories bout Uncle to me. That's the first that these boys wanted to confess something to me. The last time we met was in 2009 open house at Uncle's and Hafiz crib and that was right after we all went for a picnic at Ulu Yam few weeks before that. We exchanged numbers and Firdaus promised to bare it all.
Uncle stopped communicating with me since last year Jan and had ignored me completely. I thought I did something wrong or did I offended him in a gazillions ways that I have scrambled my brains to replay any memories of us (including the time we spent with Mel and Azie). I was clueless. I moved on and never looked back.
While on duty that night, Firdaus texted me.
F:Sis, I need to tell you the truth about Uncle. Are you free now?
Me: On duty, call me back in 30 minutes.
F: Roger
Thank goodness I was stationed at the most busiest location that night, the cloakroom. It took my mind off until I completed my shift. The conversation went like this....
F: Sis, you need to know siapa sebenarnya Uncle. He is a criminal. Bukan niat I nak
buruk-burukkan sesiapa.
Me: Penjenayah? Huh?
F: Sis, baru-baru ni dia kena tangkap sebab buat job kat 7E The Curve.
Me: Job? apa job?
F: rompakan bersenjata
Me: astaghfirullah...macam mana boleh jadi macam ni? bila ni?
F: 5 hari yg lalu, dia kena tangkap ngan polis and skarang kat lokap.
Me: tak sangka sungguh. dah lama ke dia buat mcm ni? ingatkan kerja kat marche was ok.
F: Sis, sebenarnya dia kena sacked from marche and also sacked from funkyvilla.
Me: sacked? dia cakap dier berhenti and dapat better offer.
F: tak kak, he lied to u. The reason dia tak boleh balik JB, sebab dia mmg wanted in JB. Kalau dia balik mmg kena pukul.
Me: tak sangka sungguh. He doesnt realized he has wonderful friends around and he could have change. Takperlah Firdaus, he is big enough and he can take care of his own now. Thanks for the info. mmg tak sangka ke lied to all of us.
F: Sis, kita semua tertipu dgn dia. Jgn pulak sebab ni, Sis tak dtg lagi Marche. Kita semua still friends kan. Sis datanglah lagi dgn bf baru sis tu, he looks nice.
Me: of course I will datang lagi. Thank you again sebab kasik kitaorg discount. nanti kita ajak sekali kak mel ngan kak azie....buat kecoh mcm dulu-dulu. I guess, he stopped contacting me sbb I ni budak baik kut and he wanted to be a criminal. Tapi, mmg terkejut.
F: takperlah sis, org dah tak nak kawan ngan kita. pandai-pandailah Uncle jaga diri.
That was it, now I (including Mel and Azie) knows the real truth and what a revelation. I had my theory bout his disappearance and now we know. None of my theory came close at all!!!
Friends, we all need each other, in good times and bad times. How do you want to be remembered? It's up to you...
