Men's faithfulness towards God is a very facinating subject
So call me crazy but the first question I ask a guy here in KMM is
"You warak ke?"
Seriously, that is a crucial question when I'm making friends with a guy. Why do I ask such an unusual question? It is because I have the tendency to touch people. Whether its a pat on the back, a nudge to the arm or the simple gesture of leaning my elbow against their broad shoulders, touching is normal to me. In my opinion, physical contact brings people together.
But as we learned in religious studies, touching between men and women who are not related is strictly prohibited. This religious law is taken seriously among some of the people here in KMM. So I ask this question to the male species to prevent the spilling of sins. Get it?
So today I decided to be bold and talk to this guy who I find facinating. He wasn't listed in the KMM eye candy blog because I just found out how facinating he is last week. His code name is "sayang". There is a funny story behind how he got his code name and if you wanna know about it, just tell me and I'll write about it in the next post.
So sayang was standing outside the the hall and after talking to DeeDee, I came up to him and asked the famous question. Mind you, I already asked that question to numerous men and there was only one that said yes. But he looked alim anyway so it wasn't a surprise.
Anyway I was sort of shocked when he replied "Ya.. ya... agakla". Because he doesn't look alim at all. He's tall and has a body shape that would temp you to hug him. Plus he has that arrogant assholic swagger. Then he told me that he's a NTP member. NTP is a community that takes care of the religious aspects of the college. They always organize tazkirahs at the surau and encourage people to sembahyang berjemaah together. Only the most warak of the warak join the NTP community and sayang told me that he's a member. WTH?
The shocking punchline came afterwards when he said " I sebenarnya president NTP ". Only one word popped up in my head:
MOTHERFUCK
Then later, after the astonishing news of his presidency to the most warak fraternity this side of Melaka, I decided to ask him a couple of more questions to satisfy my uncertainty. I wasn't uncertain, I just wanted to know if he's warak by choice or warak because of his position.
It turns out he's warak by choice but he considers himself a very open warak person. He doesn't judge me because I don't wear a tudung and he's comfortable walking beside me (as long as we don't touch each other). You know, he says he doesn't want people to judge him because he's in a very religious society. In my heart, I don't want him to judge me because I'm not as religious as him.
It's weird. I know.
So that was my experience of meeting a very facinating open warak guy. Warak but still an asshole. Rupanya dia budak Klang. No wonder he understands my english perfectly and no wonder he exudes that haughty vain attitude.
