Letter of the unspoken words.
Dear sir, I am writing this letter to convey to you words which I failed to express yesterday. I am not that shy of a person I have been yesterday but I could not even tell you how speechless or star-struck I was, that I managed to forget all my manners and embarrassed myself in front of you, sir.
My first impression failed myself, but sir, I was not like myself yesterday, please trust me on that. It’s just that meeting you, well, it was so surreal I only managed to mumble my lame introductory speech, “ err..I am Azreen Hani, I am from XX” to you that I could not believe me saying that to you sir. Really, trust me sir. I had so much to say, I never thought that I got to overwhelmed, I was left speechless sir. But don’t get me wrong sir, there was no intimidation on your part, you were nice, sweet, your smile put me at ease, I had only myself to blame because it was too surreal, too surreal.
I dreamed of meeting you ever since I got to know who you are, and that was 19 years back, you have met millions of people in those years, but my meeting with you will be one I treasured sir because one of my dreams came true, and it’s all because of you sir.
Like I have mentioned earlier, I had so much to say, I wanted to tell you how your Look East Policy has changed my life, how I took a subject on your thoughts in the university, how I seemed to remember your quotes, how I thought of you as a grandfather figure, how my late dad and I used to discuss about you, agreed and disagreed, how I stood up for you, how you will always have my respect regardless what others say about you.
Much could be said sir. You told us that you could speak for hours; but you refused to. Only God knows how much I was eager to listen, only to spend another hour or two with you.
I look forward to meet you,sir. Again. And again.
Sincerely,
Azreen Hanimomo.
