I'll Be Right Here If You Need Me.

No I am not in a hurry to leave for somewhere I don't want to go. I'll be right here if you need me. All you have to do is give me a call. It's only twenty minutes from Damansara Perdana and twenty minutes is pretty fast to get here now that I am familiar with the areas around PJ. The most important thing is, do you really like the place? Does everything look alright to you? Do you like the room?

This place is Holiday Inn compared with the one you used to say in Penang, Aunt Su. Don't worry about how much, I've got it all figured out. Of course she doesn't have to know that I am going to go see some people tomorrow to make arrangement for the money to be transferred to her name in case I go down in my sleep or something. That way she will always have something to eat and a place to stay to keep her going.

Being all alone at the apartment isn't all that bad. I've got until July to wait before my life will take a new twist going to school for the first time again hoping to make something good out of this. This is better since I don't have to worry about Aunt Su because she will be taken care of, and most importantly she will have a lot of friends to chat with about anything that she otherwise wouldn't talk about with me.

These past few days we've got a lot of rain. Aunt Su and I enjoy watching the black clouds climbing over the hills to envelope our apartment before they swoop down towards the valley, spraying the living room with small droplets before they got bigger and bigger, turning into raindrops to pounce on the glass doors. We sit for hours sipping coffee, cup after cup, watching the rain in silence as the sky above us swirl and churn as if the world is coming to an end beginning right here at Damansara Perdana.

She needs a new pair of comfortable shoes to wear around the place so her feet won't get cold that the dull pain can go up to her knees if there's no one there to apply minyak afiat at night. She said she doesn't need them because the one I bought her are still good but I said those are not meant for you to wear in the house. Besides those are patent leather. You don't wear patent leather shoes in the house, unless you are queen of England.

Aunt Su doesn't have much to pack. All her clothes are in two suitcases that we brought from Dungun. There's a few stacks of nice dresses in the closet which she doesn't want to pack together with the rest of her clothes because she said those are too trendy. But I said those are nice clothes that I got for you. Forget it, I am not going to argue with you. I shouldn't.

Isn't it nice if you can be just like the lady in the picture, looking so peaceful and happy as if this is as heaven as heaven gets.
