it was a sunny sunday morning, where i was awaken by the melody which to me, was more like someone screaming and shouting. it was my beloved nephew who sang this song about kangaroos and little horsey making friend and so on and so on.
yes, it's sunday morning and i need to bring my nephew and my niece to sunday market. it's a market where you can sell your junk and people actually buy it for a dollar or two. my cousin had already in the sunday market, tryin to sell their junk too.
i know because the nite before, when i was back from a friend's house at 2 am, i noticed there was a note on the door. it was written;
1.we'll be gone to sunday market at 4am tomorrow
2.dont forget to bring the kids
3.remind the kids to wear caps
4.bring 'em lunch too
5.thanks
...
'hello donny!! (he wants to be called donny cause he is such a big fan of donatelo in ninja turtle), hello princess ( and this wants such a big fan of barbie ) you guys ready?'
'YES!!'
'let's go..'
...
it was still a sunny sunday morning, when i took the kids to my cousin's stall. i leave em there safe with my cousin so i could take a walk to the other side of the market. out of a hundred stalls over there, only one attracted me most. it was a same stall which sell the same junk as everybody has. but one of their junks were different.
a red corduray sling bag.
the exact same type and colour as the one that i used to have.
i stared at it for quite a while.
stared so long until he (the seller) came to me.
'you like that bag so much huh?'
i looked at him. of course i remember. it was the bag that i love so much until someone, who said that he loves me and said i wanna be with you forever and a day so let's swap bags and i'll remember you forever and so do you and all the promise in the world, leave me all alone in the end and take his bag and mine too, and i said, 'yea.. it looks nice. i think it will match my shirt. that's all. it looks as good as new though. how come you wanna sell this bag? i suppose it will be good if you use it'
and he smiled yes, it was brand new. i just bought it two days ago for my girlfriend cause she said that she loves me so much and she said she wanna be with me forever and a day, so what about giving her that red corduray bag so she can remember me whenever she wears it and all the promise in the world. but then broke up with me because she said we're not meant to be together. and there she goes with another man. 'yea, i actually just bought this about two days ago for a friend of mine, but she doesn't like it. so i guess i just sell it here. '
'uhm..' I took a last look on the pretty red bag and i walked away.
he sell the bag for 5 dollars. and i know it's actually worth 90 bucks.
but there are things in life that i should let go
so i walked away.
with my new white squary bag.
it's okay.
white will do.
white will do.
