Remote

Salam.

October, 2011.

I was on the way to home, in a bus some time in 2009. I was alone and the seat beside me was unfortunately not vacant, occupied by a boy. Having no option, I took my seat and set my gaze to the window, so that this boy would understand that I was in no mood to talk, especially to stranger.

After a while, maybe he was bored to death, or even better, maybe he found me a person who is interesting to talk to, the silence between us was broken by his question. Not a pick up line obviously because he was still in school, I reckon he was 16. ( In case if you forgot, I am 17, at heart ;).

After a little too many questions, I reached my destination. Our conversation was mainly on my education, school, study and teachers. This boy remind me so much of my little brother, and my heart was quite shaken by his bluntness by then. He basically ask me on tips to study well in school, and admitting the existence of ego in me, I preach about every little thing geek do in school, which I was obviously not but somehow I talked like I was one. Hehe

I know I looked like a quite quiet person, but I am a person that make conversation with stranger in bus.

Here in KL, I know if I were to start a conversation in train, my face would easily printed with L sign right straight on my head. Plus, with series of crime cases related to this kind of contact, I am a bit traumatize. ;/

Bye and take care people. :)
