Dialogue conversation between two lovers

“I never want to see you again!” Shal yelled at Az.

“Why? What I did?” asked Az puzzled.

“You promise me that we will meet up for dinner and you were missing after that.” Shal said but her tone was less stern than before.

Without thinking much, Az remembered his promise last weekend and looked down. Regretting his behavior.

He looked at her and walk towards Shal to apologize. “ Shal, I’m sorry. I have reason for not turning up yesterday.” He explained slowly.

“NO! You lied to me. You does not love me anymore.” Shal said and her tears start dropping from her pale cheeks.

“Hey, that’s not true at all!!” “I couldn’t turn up because I had really an important update to share with my manager.” “ I did not do it on purpose.” He explained calm and sympathetically.

“So? What’s the use of having hand phone?” Shal questioned Az. “You should call and inform to me.” She said again. Still in tears.

He kept silent and listened Shal with tones of regrets.

A short description about the setting...

Julie lives near a small busy town called Klang Valley which situated 7km away from her home, Tanjung Sepat. Even though the place seems quite far for a young working girl who does not have vehicle to travel, she enjoys living in both places. Why is that so? There’s only one reason to answer that, she works in Klang Valley and travels everyday twice a day. She cannot hate the place because there’s the only source she’s getting paid from. Besides that, there is no job opportunity in Tanjung Sepat to rely on. She spends more time in the town compare to her living place, called home. To describe more specifically, town is hectic. Day and night busy with uncountable vehicles on the road- honking different rhythm of sound to make the traffic move. Traffic blinking with tiredness operating day and night to make sure the safety of the road users is well managed. Pedestrians walking all along the busy road like a woven, forming unknown pattern in the crowd without realizing its beauty behind it from her point of view where she sits in higher place for lunch.

A perfect view can clearly see from tall building beside her department store where she works. She used to go Menara Tiara for her lunch with her friends. While having her meal, she enjoys watching the nature view looking at the flock of birds busy doing their routines- hunting for food for their young’s and back to their nest when the day almost ends. Sometimes she even sees the sun slowly fall behind tall buildings to enter the other side of the world to shine its ray giving hope and life to habitat there. God’s creation is great. She thinks sometimes.

He, Me and Who?

He came hunting my life like Freddy,

He’s there whenever I’m awake or asleep.

Sometimes I wonder why,

I'm trapped in the grasp of hell angel.

He’s there whenever I’m awake or asleep,

Then I realize my life is like a woven.

I'm trapped in the grasp of hell angel,

Beautiful lies melt away from my memory.

Then I realize my life is like a woven,

But, my heart is filled with rainbow colours.

Beautiful lies melt away from my memory,

Hope time flies rapidly to forget you in future.

But my heart is filled with rainbow colours,

Not wanting it to end in flames.

Hope time flies rapidly to forget you in future,

Ghostly shadow in the dark creeps me.

Will not want it to end in flames,

Sometimes I wonder why.

Ghostly shadow in the dark creeps me,

He came hunting my life like Freddy.
