One Way To The Heart

"Hello, what's your name?"

My aloofness had me forgotten to introduce myself.

"Darren," I said, shaking his hand.

"Ju," he said.

Then he touched his hand (the same hand that shook my hand) to his heart. That caught me off guard.

I thought Malays only do that to friends from the same race only.

Well, I'm glad to make friend with a big eyed with curly hair, not so malay but also cheerfull malay uncle.
