Hello there.

Since this blog is not updated daily, I'm here to share a story with you. This story was made by Sha, and I edited 'many' of it because the original copy was not with me. Probably in the sampah sudah. He-he. It was written long time ago (woseh macam batah banar). It's actually when we're in form 3. Sha ingat kah cerita ni?

At that time, kami kana suruh belakon by our English Teacher. I can't remember his name lagi. He's probably not in Brunei lagi. So kami berlakon~ Hehe. Siyokk! So it was the 3 of us.. Pipet, Sha and me, with the help from Betty. Enjoy..

Pelakon;
Me - Afizahtul Hanani.
Pipet - Zati.
Sha - Sha.
Betty - Teacher.

Dear diary..

This is my first day at my new school, SM Sayidina Othman. Ahh.. yes I can't wait to meet my new friends there. After 3 years I've gone to New York, now I'm back to Brunei. So good to be back home! Yeah..

I've already registered my name at that school accompanying by my mother, Cleopatra Manuel Al-Azhar. She's an Arabic from Lebanon. She was married to my father, who is a Malay-Japan, but he died long ago, when I was 3. SO here I am, just me and my mother, but we're very happy..

Here's the story of my life... a story about friendship, love, family and happiness..

ACTION!

Narrator: Scene 1, in the classroom.. Mathematics lesson.

Teacher: Alright class, today we're gonna start our new lesson with Algebra.
Zati: Huh? Again? Duh..
Sha: Uh~ Better move on to the new topic. So boring though.. Oh I forgot, I heard that.. hm.. we're gonna have a new student..
Zati: Is it? Oh I hope he or she isn't like Damon..
Sha and Zati: Yuck!
Sha: He's nasty!
Zati: Disgusting!
Teacher: Enough both of you! We'll introduce her to you all.. just hang on. I'll be back.

(Teacher went out)

She: Hey any news? Anything?
Zati: Anything what?
Sha: Your boyfriend..?
Zati: Busybody! Haha.
Sha: Hey.. Come on..
Zati: You know me, I'm always 'serious'.
Sha: So it's true?
Zati: Hello.. I'm evil.. I lie of course. So foolish of you. Haha. What for I want him back? Just get lost then. He's just a fool. But I still like him though.. So kin-hearted, NOT! Haha.
Sha: Oh.. Alright then.

(Teacher come in with a new student)

Teacher: Class, introducing you to your new classmate, Afizahtul Hanani.

(Zati and Sha look each other, in shock)

Sha: WHAT?
Zati: THIS?
Zati (whispering to Sha): Braces girl with a big-rounded spectacles? Ugly like a monster!
Afizah: Hello everyone. I'm Afizahtul Hanani, called me Fizah..
Teacher: She's a mixed malay-Lebanon, Bruneian citezen anyway but stayed at New York for 3 years. She was one of the best student there. So I hope you can communicate with each other.
Zati (whispering to Sha): Nerd!
Teacher: You can sit next to Zati, Fizah.
Zati: WHAT?
Teacher: Any objection?
Zati(with anger): WHAT EVER!
Teacher: Please take your sit Fizah.
Afizah: Thank you.

(Afizah take her sit)

Afizah: Hi, I'm Afizah..
Zati: Already!

(Continuing the lesson)

Narrator: Scene 2 at Cafeteria during break time.

Sha: Hi! Dreaming?
Zati: Shut up!
Sha: What's with you?
Zati: That new student.. What's her name again?
Sha: Fizah?
Zati: I'm sick of her! She asked too much. Oh friend, where can I see your Maths teacher. Friend, which way is the library.. Arghh!
Sha: Oh my! Here she comes..

(Afizah came)

Afizah: Can I sit here?
Zati: NO! This is my place. Trespassing for my group only!
Afizah: I'm sorry but all the tables are full, so..
Zati: Eat there. (pointing at the ground)
Afizah (tears in her eyes): But why?
Zati: Cause you'll never know when all you meal turn around..

(Zati push Afizah and her meal falls)

Zati: Oh I'm sorry! Haha!
Afizah: Whh..
Zati (screams): GO AWAY!
Afizah: I'm..
Sha: GET LOST!

(Afizah walk away with sadness. Sha, Zati and the gang laugh out loud)

Dear diary...

I've a very bad day. I feel terrible. It seems like nobody likes me, especially Zati's group. I don't know what to say but.. I just know she's a fine girl.. Maybe something makes her bad.. There's something tells me that.. I need to get to know her more, deep inside her heart..

I'm happy though because tomorrow will be the fasting day for Muslim.. Can't wait.. Alhamdulillah..

Narrator: Scene 3, the first day of Ramadhan in the classroom.

Sha: Hey! Fasting today?
Zati: Hmm..
Sha: Ok let's make thing straight.. You want the A.S.A.P information about Fizah right?
Zati: Hmm.. yeah..
Sha: Here is it.
Zati: Oh you're such a great investigator! Give me that.
Sha: Not that easy my dear. You'll have to tell me why do you want to know about her?
Zati: I don't know. There's something in my heart.. Huh.. Now could you just give that to me!
Sha: Okay take it.

(Zati reading)

Sha: I can't believe she's a very wealthy girl, lived at Danau with her mother, Cleopatra. Her father died long time ago on his way to Australia. Oh his father is a very successful businessman. He got two wives though.. Cleopatra is his first lawful wife and second.. I can't get the name.
Zati: A businessman?
Sha: Hey, your father used to be a businessman right? And your father too.. died long time ago.. I think..
Zati: You're thinking to much.
Sha: I'm just thinking of any possibility.
Zati: Oh please. But her mother's name sounded familiar.. Cleopatra.. Cleopatra..
Sha: Is it?
Zati: Arghh! Whatever!
Sha: What's next?
Zati: You'll need to find more about her.
Sha: Yes master. Haha.
Zati: Haha.

Narrator: Scene 4.. 1 week later..

Sha: Zati!! Zati!!
Zati: Hey geek watch your step! What's with you?
Sha: I got what you want.. and.. and.. and..
Zati: Relax buddy. What is it?
Sha (breathe in deeply and take it out): Fizah's father..
Zati: Yes....?
Sha: Fizah is your sister. Same father, different mother.
Zati: WHAT? Haha! You have got to be kidding me! You got me! Haha.
Sha (loudly): I'm seriously not joking!
Zati: Watch your words!
Sha: Okay I won't say much. Take this and read it.

(Sha put the file on the desk and when she turns back.. she sees someone familiar..)

Sha: Fizah?

(Zati turn to see Afizah)

Zati: What are you doing here? I told you this place is for my group only!
Afizah: Sha's right. You're my step-sister.
Zati: Don't you hear what I've just said? Go away!
Afizah: I heard your conversation.. I've been searching for you everywhere..
Zati: Oh please stop your nonsense speech. Whatever it is, get out from here. You're an ugly monster with braces and big spectacles. Haha. Now go!
Afizah: Listen to me. I'm telling you the truth..
Zati(screaming like a histeria): GET OUT!!!
Sha: Calm down..
Zati: And you Sha.. You betrayed me! (chocking Sha's clothes)
Sha: I'm sorry but it is true..

(Zati slap Sha on her face and Afizah try to stop Zati)

Zati: Nothing is true! Noo..

(Zati push Afizah and she fall on the ground. Blood started to flow from her head. It was unexpected that her head knocked on a big rock)

Sha: Zati! Look what have you done?
Zati: No.. It was just.. an accident!

Narrator: Scene 5, at the hospital.

Zati: I'm sorry Fizah.. (crying)
Sha: Don't blame yourself.. She's going to be just fine..
Zati: I never do anything right.. Look at me.. I'm empty!
Sha: No dear. You're fine. For me, you have your own reason why you're behaving like this..
Zati: Why? All I know is that I'm bad...
Sha: It's because you're lacking the love from everyone..

(Zati never felt loved before. After her parents died long ago, she was taken care by her uncle. However, her uncle never took his responsibility to take care of her. She's always blamed for his uncle's daughter's mistake. Her uncle even told her that she brings a bad luck to their family.)

Sha: There's people around you who love..
Zati: Is it? And who would that be?
Sha: Me and my family.. your beloved late mom and dad.. and that boyfriend of yours..
Zati: Hey stop it. I don't like him okay..
Sha: We'll see about that.
Zati: It's just.. I want to know the feeling of love and being loved.. being taken care of..
Sha: Oh really? I got just what you need..
Zati: And what would that be?
Sha: You'll have to take care of Fizah..
Zati: Fizah??
Sha: Yup. And by that you'll feel the love..
Zati: Hm..
Sha: Come on. You can do this.

(Luckily, Afizah condition is not that bad. 2 weeks after the incident, she's allowed to go back home. And all those days Afizah was hospitalized, Zati never miss the chance to visit her.)

Narrator: Scene 6, a week during Hari Raya.. At the canteen..

Fizah: Guys, congratulations for being the top 5 students.
Zati and Sha: Thank you!
Sha: And same to you Fizah.
Fizah: Thanks! And happy Hari Raya!
Zati and Sha: Happy Hari Raya too~
Sha: Hey this evening I want to invite both of to my house.
Fizah: Open house my dear?
Sha: Yup yup!
Zati: Sha, don't you try to cook friend chicken again! So sour though..
Sha: Haha.
Fizah: It's 10. We'll talk later okay?
Sha: Wait! Where are you going?
Fizah: To my car. I want to have some fun window shopping at The Mall before having an amazing open house at your home.
Zati: Don't forget, skate boarding and pool.. Haha.
Sha: Not to forget too, Hari Raya's angpow please! Hehe!
Afizah: Oh come on both of you. Let's go!

(Now that they are close, Sha and Zati change Fizah's appearance. She's no longer wearing braces and using spectacle.)

Dear diary..

I'm happy with my life now. My own sister that I've been searching for all these years.. I found her. And I'm getting closer with her now. Me, Sha and Zati is now a very good relatives, cousins and sisters..

I bet my father would be happy if he's still here.

Happy Hari Raya!
