Part 1
Nadia looked out the small aircraft's window, she still can't believe it. She has arrived in the middle of nowhere. Why oh why she had accepted this assignment, she cursed herself. How am I going to survive my 3 months internship in the middle of this jungle! Her eyes have started to redden, tears are welling up and she stifled her sobs.
The small aircraft pilot turned to his only passenger and what he saw pleases her. This petite Malay girl sitting upright with her eyes fixed looking out the window. "Cik, dah nak sampai. Seatnya dibuckle betul2 ye". Nadia looked at her buckle and tightened it. As the aircraft descended, she prays to herself, "Ya Allah, please give me strength to survive this hell hole for the next three months. Aminnnn."
Once the aircraft stops, the pilot helps Nadia out of and she slowly steps down using the small steps provided. She can see a four wheel drive coming towards the aircraft, it looks rugged but well worn. The pilot helps to bring down her luggage and put them beside her. She had packed just one big suitcase and her hand luggage as she knows she doesn't need anything fancy in the middle of the jungle.
The driver of the 4 wheel saw her figure in the distance. He smiles to himself, nice..... sweet girl... he begins to whistle... As he drives near and stop hardly a few feet from the girl, he heard a shout. "Hey, are you blind! You nearly hit me!" the small lady shouted. He just smiled and walked out the vehicles, "Don抰 worry Cik Adik, I'm an expert..." He looked at her closely, sharp face with slight baby fat, sparkling large angry eyes, wide mouth (hmmm I wonder is it sweet to kiss), long flowing hair. She was wearing white shirt tucked in blue jeans, he can see her slightly voluptuous petite body.
Nadia was angry, who is this jungle boy who have the nerve to nearly drive her down with his vehicle. Now he has the guts to stand with his legs slight apart and hands tucked in his jacket's pocket. He was looking at her up and down with his shifty eyes, his lips curving into a half smile. "Hey, why are you just standing there? Help me with my things, stop staring!" He walked towards her luggage and their hands touches as both tried to lift the handle. Nadia quickly pulls her hand back but the sensation can still be felt. He sniggers "Ooops sorry, tangan saya kasar ye..."
Nadia opens the passenger door and pulls herself up the seat, suddenly she lost her footing and she nearly feel down as she was still heavy with her hand luggage. As she feels her body falling to the ground, she feels a hard warm hand holding her up still. The driver managed to break her fall; he pulls her body straight with his strong hand and straightened her up by pulling her close to his body. Nadia was startled, first from nearly falling, now from feeling the heat of the body pressed hard against her back. She turned her head back and nearly fainted as her face was inches away from the driver. She can feel his breathe on her cheeks.
Nadia quickly pull herself away, "Ermmmm thanks, kalau tak sure jatuh macam nangka busuk tadi hehehe" She tries to make a joke as to settle her nerves. "Tidak apa Adik, saya sudah biasa angkat buah di dusun." he jokes back and they both laughed. As the four wheel drives on, Nadia and the driver were quiet with their own thoughts. Nadia was angry as to why she feels uncomfortable; she has someone back home, a handsome engineer who currently undergoing his own training. The memories of her hand accidentally touching and the heat she felt when their bodies touched linger on. The driver was looking straight ahead drives carefully as the roads are bad; he however smiles and thinks to himself, "Aku akan dapat gadis kota ini! Dia pandang rendah dekat aku, kita lihat siapa yang akan menang dalam perjudian ini!" |
