anak pinjam (borrowed-child) ?

i really can't wait to post about this. it happened earlier today when we were eating ice-cream at baskin robbins, kinta city.

"mama, how long people can borrow anak?", megat asked me.

i was like, "haa?!!... borrow anak?".

"ya... you know... people who do not have children will borrow anak", said megat confidently ;) then he asked me the same question again, "so how long they can borrow?". by that time both puteri and i were so damn surprised and looked at each other. then puteri smiled.

"ohh... you mean anak angkat (god-child/child sponsorship)?", i asked megat.

"no... anak pinjam ler mama...". puteri and i laughed. while megat was puzzled.

"adik, adik...", i called megat while smiling. "where got anak pinjam. anak angkat got ler...".

"ohh... so takde le anak pinjam?", megat asked.

"takde", i answered. people around us looked at us one kind only. we were laughing like hell that's why lol...

i did wonder of what megat was thinking, that made him wanted to ask me that question. when i asked him, he just smiled.
