THE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER

What will you do when the universe leads you to the greatest opportunity! Are you going to grab it or you just let them slip away? We will never know until it happens!

Although this story can be a bad precedent for Tante “M” reputation in the future, however I can’t help myself to tell you all about it. Since it was so silly, funny and in the same times its kind of odd situation!!!!

The story began when I attended my best friend with initial Ms. ”V” secret wedding ceremony in Singapore, “C’mon guys cut it out!!! I know exactly what you’re thinking -- Ms. ”V” doesn’t stand for Ms. Vagina, okay?!!” Hahahaha…

The night before the trip I was at The German Asparagus Dinner in Jakarta Intercontinental Hotel where they served us free flow German beers plus wines and delicious asparagus feast! The dinner itself was ended around 2 am and the next morning I have to be in the airport at 7 am. So you know how tired and hangover I was that morning. Thanks god, everything was running smoothly; from the check in to the immigration counter.

Since I still got another 30 minutes time to kill, I was thinking to continue my beauty sleep in the waiting room and I found perfect seating arrangement where I could catch up my beauty sleep. When I was about to close my eyes, I saw this lovely leather light brown camel boot with white shoes insoles that someone wore in front of me. That lovely boot awakens me from my sleepy mood=)

And while I was busy paying attention to the camel boot, I felt like there was someone watching over me. So I looked around to see who the person was. It turned out that the person was the owner of the lovely camel boot.

I whispered to myself….”Hello there, the beautiful stranger!” hehehehe…

Wow, what a nice surprise!!!! He’s not only has a good taste on boot but he also has cute-charming-friendly face with crew cut hair and tall-proportional body! He’s so my type!!!!!.... Uuh, come to Tante “M”! …

I really liked his style – clean and classy! Nothing but basic jeans, t-shirt and hoodie jacket with classic leather watch and postman bag. No other accessories attached.

We started discreetly heavy flirting to each other; you know... the game of Malu – malu kucing or jinak – jinak merpati!! OMG, I felt like back to virgin again! HUAHUHAUAHUAHUAKKKK……

Finally the boarding announcement called and all the passengers get ready to enter the plane including both of us. GUESS WHAT?!!! He sat right in front of me (15F) meanwhile I sat on 16F!!! During the flight, I can see he was agitating in his seat. He kept on open and closes the window then slightly looked at me through the window reflection.

I felt sorry for him and I was thinking, should I or shouldn’t I talk to him first to bare his agony? ... All of a sudden I remembered the motto of my bitchies friend: “You could be cheap and easy, but never be both, honey!” So I dropped that idea since it was too cheesy and unlike Tante’s style =)

The plane is landed safely at Changi Airport budget terminal. I went out straight to immigration then to shuttle bus transfer to terminal 2 to catch up the MRT to Clark Quay.

I kind of lost him since I saw him rushing down to immigration counter ahead before me. I just thought we will never seeing each other again!!!.... SO BYE-BYE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER!!!

While I was waiting for my bus to arrive there he was walking and smiling toward my direction. My heart was pumping so hard but I kept my game face on like nothing happened =) He stood right behind me to queue for the same bus.

The transfer bus arrived. I picked the seat behind the driver next to the window and I let the seat next to me empty in which hopefully he will sit next to me. I saw him almost nearly take the empty seat next to me but somehow he changed his mind and he moved across the empty seat next to window! Now it’s my turn to feel the agony… C’mon man, just make your move … I already gave all the green lights that I possibly can give!!! HUAHUAHUAHUAKKK…

Along the way to terminal 2, I caught him several time looking at me discreetly! Well dear, it’s your lost and definitely it’s not mine…

I was so busy helping out my friend with her wedding preparation and I completely forgot about the beautiful stranger, until we met again by coincidence at Changi airport on the way back to Jakarta and he’s in my flight!!!

I can see in his eyes, how shock he was when he found out that I was in the same flight like he was. But in the same I also realized that he’s glad and happy to see me!

There are 10,000 peoples traveling every day in and out Singapore. The opportunity to bump into the same person is quite rare! And how odd it was that we had the same flight schedule! Is it fate that we meet again? =)

Once again the discreetly heavy flirting game began but still nobody made any moves! Aarrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhh…… Can see how frustration Tante “M” was!!!! Sometime I wish I could have Loui and Saputra inner bitchiness and devilness!!! I guess, being Tante “M” itself was not enough! Hahahaha……

After the plane landed at Soekarno Hatta Airport, I went out straight to immigration then to Damri shuttle bus without waiting on him. “Well if it’s meant to be, it will happen!! And if I ever seeing him again, I will go talk to him first! “, I promised to myself.

And you know WHAT?!!!! 10 minutes later, there he was buying Damri ticket too!!!

Gee now I have to go talk to him!!! … For the first time in my bitchy life as Tante “M”, I was frozen and speechless!!! Can you imagine ME speechless, phew =)

Thanks god, I got safe by the Damri bus to Blok M that arrived in time, so I just rushed into the bus to avoid talking to him and hoping that he goes to different direction.

OH MAN, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Can you believe it that he’s in the same bus like I was, AGAIN!!! Gee, it was getting strange by the time. I don’t know if its fate or he’s simply stalking me =) I counted 4 times coincidence already! From the same flight schedule to the same bus directions! WHAT NEXT?!!!! He’s my neighbor too!!!! Hahahaha…

He sat in front of me and I sat behind him… Still none of us made any moves.... I felt like déjàvu all over again! I don't know why, I’m kind of chicken out to start… even though just to say hello!!!...

Not later than that, there was a nice lady sat next to me and we’re started engaging to easy conversation about each other. I know that he’s ear dropping to our conversation. And since I might run out of lucks to get to know him, in the same time I was too shame to say hello first, so I pulled my last trick -- I spoke a bit louder so he can hear my conversation with the nice lady next to me. I really hope he listened and take a note about me! hehehehe....... Well, I know guys... it's so cheesy trick but that was my last chances!!!! What can I say...

He got off at Plaza Senayan meanwhile I was still continuing my journey to Blok M. Once again I have to say good bye to the beautiful stranger without actually get his name or his number!!! See how silly Tante”M” could be!!! .....

The moral of the story is “the so-called self image keeps you away from orgasm!” hahahha … As for me, it was nice to know that coincidences did exist after all and I really hope it happens to me again =)
