Angel of Mine

He had been waiting patiently for the past half an hour. It is not like her to be late. Where is she? Is she ok? Is she sick? Arghhh… he needs to know but how. He can only wait and just make his own assumptions.But…but…she is never late. It is her routine every single day. She never misses it. And because of that routine, he saw her on that fateful day. Since that day, he too had never miss waiting for her just to catch a glimpse of his angel.

He still remembers the day he first saw her. He had never been to that part of town before but the place looked quite posh. The houses were big and everything looked expensive. “I bet I can even sleep in one of these houses’ toilet,” he thought to himself and what a privilege it would be for him. So he decided to just check the place out. Maybe he can find new delicacies….no harm in trying it out. “It’s almost dinner anyways.”
Just as he was about to take his first step, something caught his sight. He stopped. Is he dreaming or hallucinating? He closed his eyes just to make sure. He opened his eyes expecting what he saw would be gone but……her hair, her eyes, everything about her. He had never seen anything as beautiful as her. Not even close. He just stood there admiring her. He just can’t take his eyes from her. She was just breath taking. Did he died and went to heaven because he swore that she is an angel.

It has been about a month since that day and now he is still here, waiting for his angel. A month of waking up every single morning looking forward to the time he would see her. A month of admiring his angel from far and wishing she would just notice his present. A month of wishing he could be nearer to her and telling her what she meant to him…to tell her she has been the sole reason of his existence on this earth. The only thing on his mind since that day is her. He notice every single thing about her…..if she is happy, if she is sad, if she is angry, if she is moody….and all of this from watching her from far.

All of his friends are saying he is crazy. “You are a stalker…a lunatic psychotic stalker. They kill you if they catch you”…..” stop dreaming dude. A gal like that would never go for someone like you…hahahaha…just look at yourself”….well, those are just a few of the things he hears every single day. But he never let that stop him from doing his routine….to just watch her…admiring her….wanting her…maybe noticing him.

But he knows...he sadly knows his friends are just telling him the truth. He just chooses to ignore it. He knows that she would never be his. Never in a thousand years. They are so far apart from each other. She is the beauty and he is the beast. She lives in a house fit for a princess while he is just thankful he got a roof on top of him every single night. She eats all the best money can buy while he scraps for anything that keeps him from dying of starvation. What can he offer her when everything that anyone could ever want is presented to her on golden platters? What else can he offer?

He tried to stop. He tried to not go. He really did tried but he just can’t. He would feel restless. He would come up with reasons just to make sure he is there. He is addicted to her. He just needs to get a dose of her every single. He just needs to know if she is all right. Is she happy or sad today? “Maybe she would notice me today…maybe she would smile at me today? I just need to go,” he thought. He swore that she was looking at him one day. “Oh no..oh no. What should I do now?” he thought. She was actually slowly making her way to him but suddenly she stopped. And then she turned back. She was just picking a paper that flew away. He was a relief man but at the same he was disappointed because he thought at last, he was going to get his chance to actually be near to her.

Suddenly he heard a sound he recognizes. “Kring….Kring!!!” and how that sounds like beautiful music to his ears. She’s coming out…..she coming out and a smile slowly appears on his face. And there she is…with her perfect hair, beautiful blue eyes, elegant self….his angel on earth. “She’s ok. She is all right,” he thought happily. She just gets even prettier with every single day. He just wonders how she does that and he looks down at himself. He can’t even remember if his hair had ever been combed before. Well, come to think of it, he doesn’t even know if he ever had a proper bath before. Unless getting wet by the rain counted as having a bath. Well, he still feels fresh and clean after that anyway so let’s just count that as having a bath.

Suddenly he realizes something odd. She is alone. She is actually alone. Someone has always accompanied her but today there is no one in sight. That has never happen before. A thought pop in his head…”This is my chance to say hello…to talk to her”. But what would he say, just say hi and then what? Just keep quiet with a stupid smile on his face? That would be a great first impression wouldn’t it? Look stupid and geeky? Geee…she would never forget me after that. “Darn it….think before the chance just disappears….arghhh…. I think of what to say later”.

With that thought, he run across the road and jumps over the fence. Nothing is gonna stop him now and he had only one goal. Confess his love to his angel. To make her realize that he exists in this world. She was just a few yards away and he slow down. He could see her facial impression change. She looks scared. “Don’t be scare”, he thought. “I am not gonna hurt you, I just want to make you see that I am the one for you”. Suddenly out of nowhere, a bucket of water is being thrown at him. He jumps to avoid it but he was reacting too slowly.

“Kucing kurap ni dah berani nak masuk kat dalam rumah ni!!!!” a voice boomed. He knows that is the cue for him to run. He could hear footsteps behind him and he knew that if he doesn’t run faster, he would not just be wet but much worst. Why didn’t he hear Angel’s owner coming? He was being careless and lost his concentration. “Angel….nasib baik Mama tak tinggal kan Angel lama..kalau tak…ish….jaga kau!!!”

As he jumps over the fence, he knows he is safe now but he didn’t stop running….and he had a smile on his face. “ At least now she realize of my existence now…the kucing kurap who is in love with a Persian cat name Angel”.
