A Princess?


Last Friday I was at the office when my phone rang. Saw on the screen "POP" and with my dad's picture appeared. Had a quick look at my watch and it was only 7.45pm. My heart was saying "Ah must be my son Ridhwan". As I picked up the call, it was my dad on the other end. He said "Girl are u about to leave the office already?" and I said to him not really. Then he said "Wait there, I am coming o pick u up and have dinner at Kak Noni's house." (Kak Noni is my cousin- the first Malaysian Lady pilot for a fighter jet, oh her real name is Leftenant Colonel Emilia Kamaruddin, NONI is the family name..wooops!)
Around 8.15pm, my dad called again and said that he was at the front gate. The journey to my cousin's place at TUDM base, seriously I had 5 near death encountered. My dad's driving is like "Hey everyone make way..this is my road.." LOL! Now I know what my niece Tiara meant when she said "Antie everytime Tok came to pick me up, I always thought Im never gonna reached Subang."
Finally we reached Kak Noni's house safely. The last time I met my cousin was like what, emmm 7-8 years ago?Can't remember. SHe just got back from a year trip to Washington DC for some training. My uncle Pak Wan was there with his wife to be. (He is my dad's eldest brother and he is 75 and yes he is gonna get married soon, thank God my dad has this thing "HE WILL ONLY REMARRY IF THERE IS 32DAYS IN A MONTH kinda principle...pheewww!).
We had dinner and then I told my auntie(Kak Noni's mom-Mak Ngah) that i want to go to Padang and meet all my relative there and then this story came out about my great grandmom.
According to my uncle Pak Wan n my Auntie Mak Ngah, my great grandmother who is my dad's grandmother was the youngest princess of Sultan Suku Chiniago. When i heard that, I asked my uncle " WOw! does that mean I'm a princess too?"..and he laughed.He continued the story saying that my great grandmother ran to Malaya and thats when this family began their life at Sungai Choh, Rawang.
And I continued asking my dad, since my late mom was a scottish, could she too be related to a Viking..LOL! A princess from Padang and a mix of Viking, soooo thats why my temper at times beyond control just like my late mom and at times Im a soft spot probaly comes from the Padang Princess's nature. Hmmm! A princess huh? Wow that makes me a royal blood too..hahaahah.
This coming October, I will be going to Bandung for my cancer treatment, and I am thinking of going to to Padang too to meet my family members there.
Maybe that explain why I was born with something extra. I was born to see the UNSEEN creature all the time, I have my 3rd eye and anyone hurt me or my feelings, something bad will happen to them. And of those people who can read others will say that I was born with "A FRIEND". One of the reason that caused my divorce.
But whatever it is, I always pray to Allah to protect my heart from being arrogant, inconsiderate and bad. Anyway, got this picture of the Rumah Gadang(Big House) that belongs to my ancestor before it burned down by a lightning strike.
