Jamil could not believe the place where he work for four years will be torn down. A new swanky shopping center is expected to take over its place.
“KL is over flooded with shopping centers and do we really need another one?” Jamil asked his best friend.
But his best friend was too busy enjoying his Nasi Ayam lunch to pay any attention to Jamil.
The place Jamil work holds many memories for him. It is here that he learned about life, love and lust. It is also the place where Jamil met Ben, for the first time.
The part time poet and full time Mat Salleh chef had convinced Jamil that he was different from his other clients and what he felt for Jamil was love, and not lust.
Foolishly, Jamil believed every word that Ben told him. Everyone wants to be loved and Jamil was no different.
When his working contract was over, quietly, Ben went home and leaving Jamil with a broken heart.
“What if Ben comes to his senses and realized that he truly loved me,” Jamil asked.
“If the place is no longer here, Ben would not know where to find me,” Jamil added.
This time around, his best friend stopped eating his lunch and looked at Jamil with a pair of sad eyes. Indeed, it is hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.
