It’s a day before Christmas. I was wondering what would Alex do or where he’ll be at this time. Too bad, he‘s no longer here anymore. I received a message from Evelyne, Alex’s mum. She sent me a Christmas gift; a French movie called ‘La Belle Verte’ means ‘The Beautiful Green’. It’s really artistic films which make us think about the world we live in. How human connects with other humans, humans with other living creatures or even the relation between us, human with Mother Nature. We as human lost sense of love towards the other and forgot the reason why we live. Love is all the answer and love is all we need no matter what. I was supposed to go to Malacca today but Luis came all the way from Singapore that I have to be in Kuala Lumpur just for her. Glad that she came even though she texted me last minute. I picked her up near HICOM area in Shah Alam. She came with Carol and her baby by car. They seem exhausted by the long journey. Well, nothing can compare by the feelings of coming back home and be with the family. And now, I’m part of Luis family in Kuala Lumpur. After picking her up, we left for home. It was a fast journey back home as I was really tired and have to work in the morning.
It was 8.00am and I wake Luis from sleep. She was surprise that I really do wake up that early despite we had a long chat till nearly 4.00am! It was time to go office and Luis and I decide to have some breakfast. She had a plan of her own that day and I don’t have to baby sit her all the time. I was relief. I learned from my past lesson by bringing in Maja last time that it make some people uneasy to see her. I thought that they’re open minded but instead the opposite. Luis then left me and went to see Bibi at KL Sentral. We promised that we’ll see each other tonight at 9.00pm. As promised, I waited for her at the Ampang Park Station. While waiting for her, some interesting drama happened. There, I was standing by the road side and watching a young Middle East guy being beaten up by the local. The reason is unknown. By my surprise, all the taxi drivers refuse him from entering their cars. He then crossed the road, walking in pain from the beating and no one ever spoke to him or rather helped him. The people on the road side could just only watch him. There were silent for a moment. No one dare to say anything including me until my phone rang. It was Luis. I then quickly get the cab for us and left for home. We need to get ready to the big party of Christmas Eve.
We reached home 20 minutes later. There’s no one in the house. We had shower and get pretty for the big event and left the house. With me, I had my backpack ready with all necessary items. I was afraid that I had to stay at someone house or maybe at the guest house. So does Luis. She grabs her small green bag and we went to the club area. Before that, we went to the guest house to put all off our belonging. Jackson was there and being a gentlemen and took care of our bags.
First, we went to the club area, Jalan Changkat Bukit Bintang, a well known area for clubs and bars for youngsters and also the travelers. We went to the familiar Irish Bar, the Healy Mac. I was surprised that we have to pay for the cover charges that night. We were stunned. We left and walk till the end of the road and hoping that some of the clubs or bars didn’t have cover charge. Our hope is just a hope. Nothing can be change. We then decided to go back again to Healy Mac and pay the cover charge as that is the cheapest cover charges ever on Christmas’s Eve night.
We had our drinks and head to the upper floor of Healy, view looking at the Changkat’s road. I was surprised to see that there are lots of Arabs and Iranians on the street. We were enjoying our time, even being stood up by Bibi, Hui Wen and Matt! We say, girl want to have fun!
It’s nearly a few second before midnight and they kept counting till the clock struck 12.00midnight. Most of the patron at the bar was halfway drunk or maybe drunken. They were in a happy and joyous mood even though they don’t really celebrate Christmas! It’s just the Christmas and holiday season spirit that keeps everyone in a happy mood. We met a few guys and they were happily to see us girls dance. I guessed that maybe we weren’t that drunk the first round at the upper floor until we switched place. We went to the bar, near the place under the stairs. I saw that most of them were happily dance to the music which I thought playing all day and all week long, the same song. I ordered the killer drink, the Long Island Tea. At one point, I was the happiest girl in the world being surrounded by guys until I broke down in tears when I suddenly remember about Alex. It was when Daniel, Bari’s ex boyfriend showed up. I couldn’t hold my emotions. The guys that I was one with left as they saw me cried and being emotional. What a roller coaster emotion for me at that moment. I couldn’t bear the tears that came out like a waterfall. Luis was shocked to see me cries. Thanks to Daniel. He really consoles me. It was me that I didn’t really let him go. I’m still not over Alex’s death. I can still feel him near me. Luis and I left the bar at 4.00am and went to the guesthouse and have some sleep before we go to the church. The night ends with my unexpected tears.
