Why did we changed our mind?

“Because she was there!” Our serious, strict and stern Geography teacher. She sat beside J. Sham. The organizer told us that the lady was J. Sham’s girlfriend.

Buzz …buzz .. lots of comments can be heard.

“She’s J Sham’s girlfriend?” my friend, Saemah asked.

“She’s our teacher and a very serious one, how can a singer fall for her?” Jamaliah asked.

“J Sham should be my boyfriend.” Nor, my flamboyant friend commented.

“I want to tackle him, but our teacher got to him first.” Ton, my other friend commented.

Me, I am the good one. I just like him as a singer and nothing more.

We went back frustrated because we can’t get his autograph.

The next day, during geography lesson in class, we noticed that our teacher’s face light up and she will be smiling alone and look happy. My friend and I think, it must be love.

J Sham and our teacher got married six months later. It seems that they were together at the teacher’s training college before and now they meet again.

They are still together.

Cikgutanya: Yes , we were teenagers and enjoying our teenage life.

Singer 1

My geography teacher was a lady teacher. Beautiful and fair. She was a very good teacher.

With her tutelage I still can draw a map of Malaysia, off hand , 35 years after leaving school. I still can draw a map of Perak and sketch the area of tin mines in Perak. I can draw a world map without looking at the original map.

She was not fierce but very stern and strict.

One day there was a stage show at the school field in my kampong. My friends and I decided to go. There were five of us.

We were very thrilled because one of our favorite singer will be performing. He was popular those dayas with the name J. Sham.

After a few performances by other singers, J. Sham was called on satge to perform by the emcee.

He started to sing. My friends and I screamed, jumped and danced when he was performing.

At 11.30 pm the stage show ended.

As fans we wanted to get his autograph. So we went backstage. But we changed our mind suddenly. Why?

Continue tomorrow

Cikgutanya: Heartache!
