Being Watched

"Hi"

Oh hi.

"You've started wearing tudung right? Looks cuter. :) "

Oh ha'ah. Thank you.

"Truth is, I've liked you since I saw you at *****... But I didn't have the urge to tell you because I don't think I have a chance. And you nampak garang."

Oh yeke. Tak adalah pun.

"Did you notice me watching you?"

Entah. Didn't really notice.

"GREAT! I managed to keep it a secret then. I've never told anyone about this except you."

Oh yeke.

"You must be surprised to know this right?"

(I decided not to reply much further.)

Oh yes. VERY SURPRISED.

Such a confession I heard yesterday. That came from someone I barely talked to. I feel flattered... A bit. But at the same time it was scary. Imagine being stalked. Imagine being watched all the time. And besides, as I said before I've never talked to this guy before. Okay, maybe a sentence or two regarding work matters but not more than that. I'm a focused worker.

I don't know. Maybe I'm over-reacting.

Oh. Maybe because I'm not used to being secretly admired. Yeah, that's why. It just felt weird.
