Sejak aku tahu dia seorang guru, dia sering datang ke sini untuk membeli buku rujukan, order buku, alat tulis dan sebagainya.

"Jade, you memang kerja sini ke?"

Wwwait a minute.... she called my name? She called me Jade? Did she?

"Pardon?"

"Saya tanya, you memang kerja sini ke?"

"Oh... ya, family business."

"Oh."

"Jade?"

"Wait. You ingat nama saya?"

"Kenapa pula tak ingat? Awak kan jiran saya. Lagipun mak awak dulu banyak tolong saya. Bagi tumpang balik sekolah. By the way, apa khabar Madam Lee? Lama saya tak nampak dia."

She did remember me!

"Madam Lee... she's okay. Sihat. Macam tulah."

Awkward again.

"Sekarang ni cuaca panas kan? You kena banyak minum air, nanti dehydrate. You pakai tudung labuh tu, lagi panas."

Dengan senyuman dia berkata, "Neraka lagi panas, Jade."

I was speechless.

"Err... overall, RM 39.00"

"Ok, thanks ya. Have a nice day."

I will have a nice day with your smile, dear ustazah.
