a translated version of some dialogues

"Ku Atiq, Ijey ni. Ijey nak gi rumah Ku Atiq, bawak durian. Ku Atiq santap durian kan?"

"Santap...susahkan Ijey je."



"Assalamualaikum, Ku Atiq? Ijey ni. Ijey nak gi lagi rumah Ku Atiq, bawak durian lagi. Abang Lah nak beli untuk Ku Atiq."

"Atiq baru pegi dusun buah semalam Ijey, kat rumah ada banyak durian. Susahkan Ijey je."

"Takpela Ku Atiq, sementara Ku Atiq ada ni, Abang Lah nak beli makanan untuk Ku Atiq."



"Masa tu Ijey suruh Abang Lah tebang je pokok kari tu sebab semak, tapi Abang Lah kata mana boleh, nanti Ku Atiq balik Ku Atiq mintak daun kari nak bawak pergi sana."

"Ye keee...pokok kari tu semak eh kat rumah Ijey?"



"Atiq balik Ireland 8 August,"

"Cepatnye!! tak sempat Ijey nak lepas rindu lagi..."



"Bye Ku Atiq! Nanti Ijey datang lagi, bawak Zulkifli untuk Ku Atiq main-main"



Ijey, taken into Ketani by my Ninda when she was small, given to Ayahnda to be our nanny. When she first got married and left our house I had high fever for about a week.

I call Zulfikli, her only son, Adik. And put his picture up in my Cinta Hati Pengarang Jantung section for weeks on end.
