SOOO sorry for the long wait! Final year exams were on. :PHAPPY READING!! :DD
Johan's POV
We waited for Maya until it was late noon. We already had lunch and still don't see her coming to the bakery. I was getting very annoyed. Seriously. I thought she already promised to come, meet and talk. I guess she's the one dropping out - not Aisyah. Now I feel bad making Aisyah go through this. Anyway, did Aisyah do something SO bad to her, that made her hate Aisyah? I don't think Aisyah meant to do anything to her.
We're about to finish up for the day, the bakery goods were sold out and we were waiting for some other customers who bought the last pieces of goods to walk out of the bakery. Aisyah escorted the customers with a smile, closes the door and turned the 'open' sign to 'close'.

She pulled the drapes for the door and some of the windows down. Then she walked back to the counter and looked at me.
"Maybe she didn't want to be interviewed?" She said and shrugged her shoulders. I didn't say anything to him. I just raised my brow and continued wiping the counter clean. After a few minutes, I heard a knock at the door. I looked out. She's here. Maya is here. I walked to the door and unlocked it for her to come in.
"Sorry I was late. I thought it might be better if the customers don't see me talk to the workers." She said solemnly. Well, that was thoughtful of her. Hmm.. It's kinda nice seeing this side of her. Not the bitchy, diva-like attitude like Aisyah disliked. We walked together to the lounge as Aisyah was there.
"Aisyah, Maya's here." I said to Aisyah. "Come on, we'll talk at the front. I'll grab some water first." I continued. Maya went back to the front with Aisyah. They quietly walked together there. I, in the other hand, walked to the kitchen and took 3 bottles of mineral water. I walked back to front. Hyung stopped me while I was walking."It is gonna be long? Because I need to go fast." He said."Oh. You're going to the party tonight, right?" Hyung is going to this reunion party held in KL. He's supposed to depart from here by 7:00pm. It's 6:15pm at the moment."You go first. I'll go home by taxi or call up mom later." I said to hyung."Okay. You have the house keys right?""Yup." I nodded."Okay then. Make sure everything is locked up, ok?" He said while leaving. I nodded. He left after that.
I continued walking to the front. From afar, I could see Maya's I-am-hating-on-Aisyah face. I guess the diva's back. Maya crossed her arms and legs together, looking chic. Aisyah in the other hand, had her arms by her side, holding on to the chair, looking up at the ceiling, mumbling to herself. Cute. :)
"So, shall we start?" I placed the water bottles on the small coffee table and they start to make themselves comfortable. Both of them sat up straight and took a few gulps of water. I pulled a nearby chair and sat at the table."So, the purpose we, *nudged by Aisyah*, I, called you to come is that we need to know why you dislike Aisyah. We don't want any fighting, just explanations." Wow. That sounds SO much like a counsellor."Sure. I can do that." Maya said coolly."To note that only say things that is honest and true to avoid arguments." I said. Both of the girls nodded."If that's so, we'll start on some questions I have here. When did u girls first met? Aisyah you go first.""I'm pretty sure I first met her at school this year. She was talking with her friends, laughing at some things, I don't know about what." She said."You, Maya?" I said."My first time seeing Raja is in Year 1. We went to the same school and the same class. I joined the primary school in February." She said."We were in the same class? :O" Aisyah said."Yeah. You don't remember, huh? I thought so." She rolled her eyes. I looked at Aisyah. She doesn't remember her childhood days?"Sorry, but I have a hard time remembering my childhood past." Aisyah explained. Maya snorted. She's totally telepathic to me. Anyway, I wonder why she doesn't remember anything in the past. :/
----------------------------------------------Aisyah's POV
"So, next question. Do you remember any major events when you first knew Aisyah?" Johan asked Maya."She used to hang around with boys instead of girls. She was the boyish kind back then. I always wanted to join her group, playing around together. Everything her group does seemed so fun. They could do anything without getting scolded by the teachers. She used to score in everything too. Subjects in school, friends, teachers. Everyone loved her and wanted to befriended her." She paused and sighed. Johan and I stayed silent and listened to her. It's WAY nicer seeing this side of her. Not because she just complimented me, it's her way of talking. Soft and patiently soothing. Unlike her usual way of talking, loud and irritating.
"I wanted to be friends with her too. She seemed so cool and friendly. Well, also mostly because I used to have a crush on this boy in her group. Amar, his name. Khairil Amar. I'm sure you forgot about him too." She said, mocking me. I stayed silent. I didn't want any girl-fights in the bakery.
Khairil Amar. Yes, I remember him. We used to play together and I once traded money banks with him because the teacher gave us the wrong gender type of money banks. He got a girlish one, I got a boyish one. So, we exchanged and got the right gender type. We're still in contact up until now. Thanks to Facebook I guess.
"Anyway, when the first time I went to the canteen with my girlfriends, I saw Raja eating with the boys on the same table. Of course, we were kids. So, it was no biggie. But, we, kids used to be like, boys sit with boys, girls sit with girls. I saw her sitting next to Amar, laughing and her arm kept touching his'. As you might suspected, I was jealous." She said. Wow. Such a young age and gets jealous because of a boy. Dangerous.
"So, in the end I started to envy Raja about her closeness with the boys and to my friends too. I ended up being alone after that because I pushed my friends away. They always disliked me anyway. Talking behind my back with you. Humiliating me in front of the whole class." She crossed her arms. Humiliated her in front of the whole class? When did that happened?
"Telling the whole class about me liking Amar. He started to avoid me after he heard that. I became depressed and was diagnose with a severe case of mental and emotional depression after that. My family had to move and we lived in New York for six years. I was sent to a psychiatrist for three years there. All thanks to you." She sarcastically smirked at me."Wait. What? I told everyone you liked Amar? ME? When did I-... How did I-..... I don't remember anything!" I said."Well, you were so full of yourself, of course you wouldn't remember!" She said in a high tone. "Just hold on for a second! I don't even remember a thing about this. You can't just blame me for making you become like that. Ok. I'm sorry if I really did made you became like that. But come on, we were kids back then! Kids play around." I said to her."Well apparently, your 'play' gave me a disease and made me anti-social for a certain period of time. If it isn't thanks for my family's love for their one and only child, I would probably die of depression." She crossed her arms again. GOD this becoming complicated.
"You know what? This isn't going anywhere." She packed up her bag. "I'm just gonna go. My mom is waiting for me outside. See ya, bitch." She cursed at me. WHAT THE HELL?! She just gonna leave? JOHAN, DO SOMETHING! But he didn't do anything. We just watched her storm out of the door.
She's already outdoors. She walked to her mother's car. I leaned my back to the chair. I sighed and slumped my shoulders. "Well that went well." Johan sighed. "So, now we know why she's annoyed by you. You know, jealousy makes you do a lot of things." He said."I guess so." I sighed hard. "AAAHHHHH!! Why can't I remember anything?! I remember Khairil Amar though. He was one of the kids that's close to me. I can't even remember Hairi himself, how could I even remember HER?! UURRGHHH!!" I scrunched my hair.
------------------------------------------Johan's POV
So, in the end, we locked up and went home via taxi. When I came home, my parents came back with an ice box full of marinated meats."What's this?" I asked them."It's for tonight's pot-luck for the residents in this street(of my house)." My dad answered."There's a pot-luck tonight? Cool. Is Aisyah coming?" I asked."Why don't you ask her, lover boy?" He teases. HAHA Lover Boy. xD
I texted Aisyah about the pot-luck. She said she has a headache, so she won't be coming. Her family is going though. Aww.. that's too bad. I guess today's meeting did gave an impact to her :/ I'm getting worried. Oh well, I have to get ready for the pot-luck. My family's bringing barbecued meats. :]
