it was a great pleasure to have met an ex-primary classmate yesterday when i was shopping for christmas gifts. if i'm not mistaken, guess it was at the British India outlet. i was particularly astounded, really, when i saw tht familiar face.
'hazel, how bout this?'
this looks-familiar-to-me girl was replying her aunt while i was beating faster subconsciously. i dared myself to lift my guts up though.
'hazel?'
her eyes told me that she was stunned.
'..carmen..?!!', i tried to jog her memory.
'ohh..hey!! carmen!!! how are you now??', she stroke me with that hey. this hey here indicates the surprised-hey, instead of the widespread-hey. it wasnt nice of me to be standing there with speechless-yet-slightly-opened lips, waiting for her to bum in another question.
we nodded at each other. tick-tocks away, we exchanged emails for our future use and left the cold air at the same place.
imagine, it has been 4 years of not-meeting and no gatherings that i have ever been to, so to speak, how could there be any conscious minds to start off any gap-less conversation. just a conclusion: we are both not the kind of person who can actually bridge the gap without stinting.
