Why oo why?! Yesterday I went to the Stella Maris Church for the Veneration of the Cross with my Aunty, & her 2 childrens. Since we were late, we have to sit separately in the parish hall. There is one big old men sitting on my right & one middle aged men with his families on my left. After the Gospel, the old men went out *I dunno where did he go*. Then another old guy *aged 50++* come to the empty chair. He ask me is there anyone sitting on the seat. I said yes. But he just sit there as if he didn't hear my answer, YES. When I looked at him, he said "nanti dia datang saya lari". So I said OK la. I don't have any idea where did the big old men go. Since the men is willing to give back the chair to him later. So, it's no big deal la kan.
Then the men started asking questions to me. First he ask whether the men sitting there before is my husband or not. I said No, I don't know the men. Here, I realise that the man is half drunk. The eyes merah2, the face pun merah & ada bau alcohol *I was thinking hmmm, is this men really drunk? Drunk in a holy place? During the Veneration of the cross?*. His series of questions goes on & on.
He ask where did I come from? Where do I live now? Which Part of Keningau I'm from?How long I've been staying here in KK? Where did I work? It really makes me uncomfortable as I wanted to concentrate with the mass & his questions just doesn't stop there, he even kasi dekat his kerusi with mine *oo ok I pulak move my chair towards my left sblh the men with his family*. Tho I feel uncomfortable, I jawab oso his questions sepatah2 only la, I don't want to be rude. I'm showing my respect towards him. I keep on praying & praying the whole time that he can live me alone with my prayers. But he just couldn't stop!
Then he started asking my HP number *move his chair towards me*.. My God. I was so scared at this time * I feel like runnin' out of the church*. I lied to him *IN THE CHURCH* I said I don't have any phone numbers. He insists! *I feel like crying* Duh!...How I wish there's other empty chair so I can move from my seat *still scared ba me*. I was praying for the old men who is sitting beside me balik to his seat, but he never showed up. I also pray for the men to stop 'kacau' me. *In fact, I was praying for him to stop it all the time*. I don't even dare to look at him. The men on my left macam faham ni. I think he notice everything & he look cautious *balik2 dia tengok the old guy incase he did something to me*. Thank God nothing happen throughout the mass.
Before the mass ended, the old men said his sorry to me. Salam damai he said, I salam oso la. Then he said 'Puji Tuhan'..erkkk... hmmm.. Since the veneration of the cross will only be done after the mass, he was asking me, bila mo cium Salib. I said later after the mass. He keep on looking for the cross to arrive at the hall *sambil2 tu dia minta maaf again with me*. I said ok.. As soon as the cross arrive he went directly to the front. Tidak ikut barisan lagi tu. While waiting for our turn to venerate the cross, I had a little conversation with the men on my left. The men on my left said, Tidak pernah pigi church mangkali ni org ni *thick Sabahan accent*. I said mungkin. The he said to me, Macam mabuk tu org tu merah mata dia. I said ya, ada bau alkohol, then I told him I was so scared, tu org minta2 no telefon, tanya2 sia where I live, where I work. Then, the men reply, eiii Miang. HuHu.
Hmmm, the scene is still fresh in my memory right now. Things like this never happen to me before. It's very rare and it's almost impossible for a scene like this to happen in church. Thank God, that nothing bad happen & I'm able to venerate the cross.
I call my mum later that evening telling her what happen, she said "kenapa ko tida lari saja dari sana". I said, Belum habis lagi the mass how can I lari. Then he said "nasib baik ko tiada apa2". My mum sense that i'm holding up my tears & she say "biarla ba tu, kasi lupa saja" then she started to change the topic. She then told me that she saw Arnold in the church & Arnold was asking my wherabouts. Well I have to work today (Saturday) so I cannot go back to Keningau & celebrate Easter there. I miss all of them back there in Keningau.
Today I'm going to the Sacred Heart Church with Jessica & her mum. Holy Thursday with Jessica & her mum, yesterday *Veneration Of The Cross* with my aunty aivi & her childrens, today *Easter Eve* with Jessica. Easter Sunday *not sure yet* hehe. But I'm sure I'll be going to the church. How can I miss going to the church anyway. Hopefully, I will forget what had happened to me yesterday. Amen.
