How much of this is true

We are in our favorite cafe, you sitting in front of me in our usual spot, beaming with happiness while chirping, telling me about this one big giant news that I am not sure what it is about. I was the one who asked you out, because I wanted to "catch up" but now all I want to do is leave. But I put on my best listening face, even though I am not really listening, staring right into you but not really looking at you.

"I don't really care" I say quietly under my breath

"Um..what?" Your face shows that you're totally confused, and for some reason I am also shocked that the words managed to escape my mouth. But since I've opened the gate, I might as well continue.

"I'm sorry but I don't really care. You don't have to tell me this" 
You wait for me to continue, probably giving me another chance to take back what I've just said.

"It's a bit tiring, to be the only one listening. And I just don't want to listen anymore" And at this point, you look like you're offended and angry, a look I've seen a lot of time on your face because according to you, I am always saying the wrong things.

You're ready to argue, biting your lips before I cut you off,

"You can be offended, but this is how I feel and I cant take it anymore. This is not my breaking point but I am just...lazy. And it is also offensive and downgrading, the way you're telling me about you as if I really really want to know, because I don't. Not anymore"

I can feel the heat of your anger, if that is really a thing. And I totally get it that you're angry. Because in your mind you have done enough and I am the one who fail to see  everything that you've done. But I wont explain, because you just wouldn't listen.

"What do you want from me?" You finally ask, in a sharp tone, the chirpiness from before is all gone. I used to be intimidated by this, most likely due to my fear of seriousness and angry people but it just doesn't feel the same way anymore. At most I am only feeling  annoyed by your display of power as if I am beneath  you.

"I don't want anything. That is why I don't care anymore. I just want this to be done and over with. You're still my friend, but that is all. Okay, maybe I would still care for you, because I am a nice person, but that is all. And now I am going to pay for everything because today is a very special day for you. Congratulations for whatever you were saying before"

"He told you that he has a Robin in his life?" "No, he posted it online" "Sorry girl, but bad news, you gotta give up on this one." "But, he's perfect. And I don't give want to give up on him" "If he ends up with you, he will always have someone else on his mind. What if his Robin wants to get back with him? You think he is going to stay for you?" "I don't know. Maybe I could change his mind" "Do you know the girl?" "Yes" "When did he break up with her?" "Years ago...." "Just move on, don't hurt yourself" "But then he's going to be my Robin" "Maybe he wont. Maybe he will"

Be kind, my uterus.

Haha hello. I am not talking about having a baby. Having your period is really weird, you're bleeding for a period (hehe) of time but you're not really dying. Your hormone is raging. You don't know what you want anymore. What you love today, you might hate it with all your guts tomorrow. And suddenly you want to be in love and get married and cuddle with someone. You want to eat a lot but you feel super fat and super conscious about your body. You want to be pretty but life is too much for a person who's bleeding that you end up wearing anything comfortable/you could find in your closet.  I hope everything goes well today. I am celebrating my birthday (wohoo !) with a bunch of friends and I am planning to eat everything that I can fit in my stomach. Also I need to drink coke to keep my uterus calm.  I shall find work to do. Bulan Puasa is fun because there's not many thing to do, but since I can't talk with anybody, it is pretty boring. Okaylah, till ...

Fiction: Amak's story

Testing 1,2,3, testing. Hello. Hi. Hi to all 23 of you. Thank you for coming here to be with me to send Amak to her next journey in life. Or afterlife. I don't know. I'm not sure how this works.  When I asked the person in charge on what should I put in my speech, he told me that I should insert some prayers and a few anecdotes of Amak. And that is what I shall do. You see, Amak lived all her lives with people spreading rumors about her, but instead of correcting them, she ignored everything and continued living her life her own way. And that what makes her special. Amak is my mother. She did not carry me in her womb for 9 months, she did not stay awake at night during the early years of my life like all mother's do. But she saved me and gave life to me when I almost died 15 years ago. After living for 15 years with her, there are a few of my favorite memories of her that I would like to share with you. My first favorite memory is when the first time I saw Amak...
