Durian dan mentimun

Musim2 durian ni teringat plak satu cerita lama... huhu

It was a hectic month (thn x ble cakap la), i spent my time outside more than in my workplace. Tiring!!

One day when i came back after 4 days 'outing', a gud fren of mine in his dark blue 'baju melayu', confided something with sombre face.

In unrelenting grimness of tones he told me that, "aku malas nak dgr bila org marah2 ni. bila tgh marah ckp mcm2 aku x suka."

having known him for years theres no way i could make him talk. He juz mentioned one word wic make so so so furious. So i asked someone else, the one who supposed to handle the job, what is all about that became so havoc when i wasnt around.

Only to be told, "Biar saja la... kita ni mentimun..."

Oh please. life is about choices. I never choose to be mentimun. NEVER. so i seek for meeting minute, only to be told it was a briefing so no minute was needed.

Fine.

After performed my dhuha' I went straight the one who mentioned by my gud friend, armed with list of my job specs.

"u did that?" my grimy gud fren's jaw dropped when i told him later.

Of course i did. When u make accusations behind someone's back, pls have valid reasons and reasonable proof to back ur allegations. iF NOT ur r asking for trouble.

"cakap apa kat dia?" he asked again, no doubt he would never sampaikan apa2 to me in future. huhu

"suh dia clarify, dalam list no 1-19 wic one i didnt do sampai dia ble sebut seburuk mcm tu". ppl who knows me, know that i never lied.

"dia cakap x?" tanya Jie, when i told him later that night?

"cakap apa?" i asked him back. normally Jie never asked in details he juz listened and buat x tau. Thats y i love telling him.

"kerja yg u x buat la ikut senarai tugasan tu". Jie tanya mcm serius je.

"well... dia ada cakap tapi i tunjukkan a few documents on pembahagian tugas, timetables and everything all are clear, that is why i was so pissed off. Dah ada sistem, kenapa nak blame org, refer je la kat situ sapa yg in-charge, kenapa nak babit org plak".

"dari 1-19 ada x yg dia ble point out. nombor berapa?" As far as i remembered Jie is only a PR by profession and a golfer by passion, so mana datang bakat interrogative ni?

"dia x cakap pun, instead dia cakap panjang2, dia kata nasihat" i began to feel uneasy.

"dia cakap yg x bagus pasal u behind ur back, lepas tu bila u suruh dia tunjukkan mana kesalahan u, dia x ble nak point out pulak?" Jie asked again.

"nope." as far as i remembered org tu mmg x point out wic number that i missed. i even kasi dia a copy suh dia baca, and circle yg mana satu sehingga sampai hati dia labelkan gelaran tu, kat depan my gud fren.

"then, cari pasal la tu.." Jie cakap.

Saya ketawa. Mcm x bersalah je Jie cakap. Sungguh senang membuat konklusi. Seperti biasa pandangan Jie wic rarely taking sides is much valued.

"jgn layan dah. mmg cari pasal tu". Jie cakap lagi dan saya ketawa lagi. It sounds so childish.

From that day, i distanced myself from that person. I juz dont give a damn about appraisal or mentimun n durian thingy, the last thing i want in my life is, mingled with toxic substance.

Afterall, life is short. why shud i waste it with suffocating myself.


p/s Jie currently is in Scotland.
