Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat

I lost count on how many times Mak mentioned his name during Raya.
And that doesn't include how many times she talked about him to me and how many times the name slipped out of her mouth for somebody else's.

But last Friday's conversation between she and a friend was a real shocker.
I was there too, listening.  Dumbstricken.

Reflexively, my mind did a quick recall.

A few months back, this friend asked me to come along to borrow something from him.

Dhuh Jid! Pick-up speed level Intel Celeron!

Hmm... :-|
