Act 1, Scene 4: Hugo Boss X | Y

When will Act 1 end you ask?

When she tells me she will be mine. =)

I panicked on Tuesday evening when I couldn't reach Nur on her phone and she called me back thru her office phone but I was away from my phone. Wow. 3 phones in one sentence. Ha. But was surprised she called me thru her office phone. That's so sweet. She usually only called me to ask for help with Math. Ha.

So we went out on Wednesday. I picked Nur up from work and we went to Ikea. I pronounce it as I-Kay-ya. Ha. Like the Americans would call Iraq as I-Req. Oh well.

We went for lunch first. Again at Mad Jack. I've been trying to look for other places to bring her but its kinda hard. So we went there again. As we arrived, this group of people were getting ready to leave and it being a Wednesday afternoon, we soon found ourselves alone in the restaurant. It was drizzling lightly outside and it made for a very nice ambience. She had the Grilled Fish with Cream Sauce and I had chicken. Ha. I forgot to ask her how it was but I guess she had no complaints since she finished it up. Right, Princess?

Oh..And I've started calling her Princess. I used to call her something else but it was already being used in her relationship so I had to find a new one. Why Princess? Cos she deserves to be treated like one. And I enjoy treating her like one. =) Love ya, princess.

So we finished our meal and I got her her favourite brownie with vanilla ice-cream. And they drizzled a whole lot of chocolate sauce on it so she was pretty happy about that. I had a banana fritter. But the banana was kinda bland. Tasted like I was eating flour plus it was too hot, it melted the vanilla ice cream on its side so in the end I had this lump of banana swimming in ice-cream.

Oh..also, I got her the new fragrance from Hugo Boss, XY. For those of you not in the know, X Y stands for the female chromosomes. For a male, it'll be XX. Go figure. Ha. I basically don't like to spend too much time buying gifts so since I knew she wanted to try it, I got it for her. I had wanted to get her her usual Escada scent cos I'm so in love with that but she mentioned she wanted to try something new.

Lady: Can I help you?

Me: Yea. I'd like to purchase the new fragrance from Hugo Boss..For ladies.

Lady: (Surprised look on her face)...Okaaaay. Erm, botol besar ke kecik? (Big bottle or small?)

Me: Hmm...Big. (Cos I always believe in buying bigger quantities for price value)

Me: Eh wait...small. Cos I don't know if she will like it. So might as well we get the small one, auntie.

Haha. I think she thought I was buying it for myself. I don't know why but I kinda prefer smelling women's fragrances as opposed to men's. Ours are usually musky and it's terrible in our kind of weather.

We ended up sniffing her fragrance in the car. She wasn't too keen on it initially so I didn't say much.

After lunch, we went to Ikea. Ha. I've never been shopping with her before so was kinda surprised she walked so fast through the store. I was walking behind her cos my leg was still cramped from all the stupid hole-digging from the day before. I think its cos she knows what she wanted to get already so we pretty much zoomed through. Anyway, I like looking at her from behind. =) We got some gifts for her Butt Sisters whom she's meeting on Monday. And her New Year's gift exchange colleague. Then I held up these three rat soft toys bound together and showed her.

Me: See..cute right? (one was brown,one white and the other grey)

Nur: Yea right. One's Amin,Aszuan and Maui.

Me: Hey..how come I'm not there?

Nur: You want to be a rat isit?

Haha. =)

We bought her bed sheet (she wanted a black one but I found it so depressing. I told her to get something with colour), a rattan basket, a rug and some other stuff. And I bought towels! Ha. Oh she bought a stool too. =P

At the cashier, I saw this girl from NIE. But she was from PGDE. So I pointed her out to Nur. Can't explain why but some girls from the PGDE course seem to like wearing alot of make-up on their faces. She was one of them. Haha.

So as were scanning the stuff, I pushed Nur away with the trolley and asked her to put the stuff in it. That gave me some distance between her and the cashier. I hadn't planned on paying for her but I did say I'd make up the difference. Anyway, I don't spend much on anything for myself or anyone else. I'd given my family their share so I thought it'd be nice to give Nur a treat. Ha.

On our way back she asked me for the receipt. And I said I'd thrown it away. =) So she just gave me $100 which I pushed back into her hand. It was kinda funny cos we were 'arguing' over the cost and receipt and at the same time I was driving. Finally she took the money and placed it in the cubby-hole beside the steering wheel. Unbeknownst to her, the money would 'magically' end up in her bag when she got home. =)

Anyway her brother met us downstairs to help her with her stuff. She bought detergent on our way back too. I got to meet her brother and he said, 'Nice car'. Hmm, shy guy. Tall though.

So thus ends our day out. Along the way, I was battling inside with what I wanted to say to her. She hasn't broken up with Amin yet and I'm not sure if she'll extend me a chance. But like in the previous entry, all I can do is pray she will.

Yesterday morning, she texted me thanking me for the perfume again. And she said that after reading the previous entry, it seemed that I had fallen for her looks initially. And that looks would play an integral part in attraction. In short, she was not attracted to me. =( But she did say sometimes she felt I was too good for her. I don't feel that way. In fact, I feel I am not good enough for her. And I'm sure many people will agree with me. But I do love her and I care alot for her. But ultimately, I want to see her happy. I believe she will be happy with me. But who knows? Maybe she doesn't. Or that there's someone out there who's better than I am. =)

Ah well, if love was so easy, there wouldn't be break ups and divorces. But mistakes are meant to be made, princess. And we learn and grow from them. Those who find that they were not meant to be, are lucky they still have a chance. But don't put yourself into a position of suffering because you believe there's still love. Most times, its gone. =) You know I'll love you, princess. Always.

I love, Nur.
