Nothing here
Now, I have arrived at Ipoh. I always heard that Ipoh is famous with sweet juicy Pomelo and I guess I will try one since I am already here. The rain looks like it is not going to stop in a short while and I guess I have to stand for a quite long time. The rumbling sound of my stomach soon can be heard loud enough to attract the person standing next to me. He smiles as he hears the sound and while taking a glimpse at my stomach, he asks, “How long has it been empty?” And there goes the conversation. He takes me to a Mamak stall just around the corner. While walking, the conversation still goes on and I do a quick check out in my pocket, counting how much money left. Well, I think RM 10.40 shall be enough for until tomorrow but what about the day after tomorrow and the days after that?
We sit at the very end corner. He introduces himself as Zakwan from Tambun. He has a sweet smile that can melt away a girl’s heart. His straight short spiked hair maintains even though few rain droplets can be seen. He looks nice and warm. I am now enjoying a cup of hot Teh Tarik with a plate of delicious Nasi Lemak. He too is having the same as mine. From the conversation, I can tell that he is a very warm and nice person. He smiles often and he wears neat and clean shirt as well. As soon as we finish, each of us take turn saying goodbye and leave. He drives his white Honda Civic in front of me and put down his window. He asks, “Fakri, where are you going to spend the night tonight? Never mind, hop on because you will be my guess tonight. ” The feeling of relief rushes to my heart as my worries is now gone since this is my first time travelling...or should I say running away? Well, I never tell Zack that I am running away from home. That is the only part that I keep it as secret. He only knows that I am in this town looking for a better job.
Soon, we arrive at Taman Meru. His has a huge house and later, he shows me my bedroom. I am feeling ashamed because of troubling him. Therefore, I thank him and I promise to help him in any ways that he needs. He gives me a sincere looking smile than he said, “Oh really? Don’t worry. It seems you already have a job Fakri! Now, you go and get some rest. It must have been a long journey for you. Good night!”
Then I am so bored living here, nothings impress me then I move to Kuala Lumpur, strutting with my Asics Gel
