Connection

You're out with a couple of girl friends and while you're laughing and gossiping, you spot this young man who keeps looking your way. You try to meet his gaze and after several attempts, you finally caught his eye. For that split second, you feel a connection between the 2 of you. All of a sudden, you want to get to know this person. He smiles at you, and you smile back and then he looks down and continues to fiddle with his blackberry. ( "shit, he's probably on bbm with his girlfriend"- you think to yourself). And so you let it pass by. You continue to chat with your girlfriends but you occasionally let your eyes wonder off to his direction. Surprisingly, you see he seems to be doing the same.

You try to look for an excuse to walk pass him. "Im going to the ladies"- you tell the girls. "okay, take your time"- Ilda replies."I nak ikut!"- says Tiara.  And so u slowly walked pass by his table. You try not to look but as you walk by, you feel a set of eyes looking at you. So u smiled to yourself. While waiting for your friend to come out of the restroom, you spot his friend who was sitting opposite him was already looking at you. You pretend not to notice.

Once your friend is out, you walk back to your table avoiding his table. " I nampak dia pandang u tadi. masa u jalan."- says Tiara. Through the next few minutes you still find the both of you constantly catching each others eye. But what can you do ? You wait for any sign. Anything at all. But after 20 minutes or so, Nad says " Jom la gerak." . Your heart sinks as you know this is the last chance. You stood up and walked first to the counter , of course you walked pass by his table again. Just as you walk by, you turn around, and there it was the connection again. Only this time, his whole table was looking at you,alone.Awkward, much?  You casually pretend to talk to your friends who were only beginning to towards you. After you've settled the bill, you turn around and walked out of the restaurant. And that was it. That could be the last time you'll ever see him again. But deep down there's hope. You're secretly wishing and praying that he felt the strong connection. Fate is all you can cling on to now.
