Oh NO. Just as my expectations have been sky-rocketed about Sexy voice, I've had them crushed, rock bottom. It turns out, I know Sexy Voice, not personally but he was good friends with an ex-mate of mine.
It sure is a small world.
His name is Ahmed. He is 3 years junior to me and he sure has blossomed from what I remember from my ex-mate's photos: he was still suffering from acne attacks [insert FFWD April 2010: Not the same Ahmed, but still of a different sect].
What happened?
I passed by uni to sort out my fees and guess who just happened to be there? Yep, none other than the sexiest voice, who was busy on the phone.
I initiated the conversation and he went along with it but his mind was obviously occupied. It turns out he was there to take his TOEFL exam. I wished him good luck and he said he needed it. He seemed quite nervous about it. Do I sense a nerd hidden beneath those chiseled looks? Or was it simply his tender age speaking? Something tells me he has a lot more growing up to do and lots more issues to work on. Still, he is good, from what I've heard and what I sense. What this boy needs exactly is someone like me. I can introduce him to a mature world of fun, secure relationships where jealousy does not exist. [Insert FWD 2021: yes right]
I had to speak to an advisor, then he had to leave, then come back, and I had my buddies with me, but most importantly, I saw him and got my fill of 'eye candy until God knows when.
Then I went to check whether I passed or not considering the results were up. I searched for the name 'Jaber' but didn't find it. What a bummer!! (I passed both my exams btw, yay). Then I decided to work with the process of elimination so I decided to jot down any name that sounded remotely 'khaleeji'. I had to find him, so I scanned the list writing down the names and possible IDs. Then I scanned it again. Then I made my friend take a pic of the list (mad I know). And as I was scanning, I read the name A S M, and it sounded familiar.
Within 10 seconds something in my mind clicked and the image of a young, acne-faced Ahmed came to me and it matched about 80%. The name, the eyes, the height, the nose, the skin tone. It was him. Perhaps a small part of me doubted it and wished it was not the same boy, but it was. Age is not the issue. It never was and hopefully never will be.
But I feel so upset. I know I can never be with him. He belongs to a different religious sect and I have chosen for my own peace of mind never to marry anyone that different that it may cause clashes. And it sure is a pity because from what I've witnessed the boys from this sect tend to make the best husbands.
Coveted items du jour:
1. From Butler & Wilson ( a fave brand of mine)
2. Felix Ray
3. From polyvore.
Till we meet again, Sedeso
PS: I'm really good because I remembered it all, and my mind connects info impressively hence the title ' I'm good, real good'.
