The Sun.

I took her silk ponytail scarf and read, “Coach, what the heck you fashion addict girl,” and tied it around my neck.

She shouted, “You faggot! Tanggal la, jangan la pakai scarf i, malu la. I taknak jalan dengan you.”

I looked in the mirror and saw how old i was, how fat i was, and how uglier i was becoming and didn’t care about pimples or eye bags, and neither did i care much about the funny wrinkles that complemented my smile and sat at the corners of my eyes, when i tried to express fake contentment with my lips brought higher, and saw the little truth in the mirror.

It was fatigue, not aging, i thought in denial.

Oh the sun, i saw it from where i stood, smiling at me, and its face warmed up my skin, gave me life and aged me.

I walked closer to the windows, and let the strong wind and the bright sun to touch me, and didn’t care if tomorrow, i’d become a day older.

I’ll age for you, told the almost 29-year-old me, to a 34-year-old girl, who was snapping my pictures, and was also, a fashion addict.

I’ll age for you, old lady and sun.
