I Just Want to Hold Your Hand
by Tang Hooi Khoon
Description
There’s a queer cafe in town where weirdos work, the coffee tastes bizarre and the customers enjoying it are stranger still.
In this unusual place I met a stranger with a peculiar aura, and felt the oddest feelings I’ve ever had.
The first time I saw you was the day I was forced to interview at a traveler cafe. You were standing in the bar, not noticing me and staring at the coffee in front of you. What a weirdo, I thought!
I hated this place, so I tried my best to annoy you and drive you crazy. But you were always a step ahead and turned my tricks on their heads. It’s OK, I had a better idea. For reasons I didn’t understand, a weird freak like you have many adoring admirers hovering around. Perhaps I should play matchmaker – once you were distracted by someone else, I would be freed from your annoying presence!
Or so I thought. Now that you are holding hands with someone, I feel strangely nervous and anxious. Now I know what it feels like to be helpless and lonely- turns out that true loneliness happens from the moment I started caring for someone.
My friends saw my strange behavior and teased that I look like I’m in love. Maybe they’re right. Now, dear weirdo, what can I do to convince you that I am seriously, strangely in love with you?
