Can we go for a walk?

"Can I keep you forever?"
"Why do you think you can't keep me forever?"
"Abang, am I good enough for you?"
"Why do you think you are not good enough for me?"
"Let me sleep on it. I'll give you an answer once I wake up"
"Laa"
"Asyik suruh kita fikir. Abang tak letih ke fikir?"
"Tak"
"Abang sayang kita tak?"
"*You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known—and even that is an understatement"
"Mmm…"
"Hmm"
"Abang, abang"
"Hmm"
"Abanggg jangan la tidur"
"Mana ada tidur"
"Abang malas layan kita eh"
"Tak la"
"Abang mmmm"
"……"
"Jangan la tidur. Kita nak bual"
"2.30 pagi dah. Tidur la"
"Tak nak"
"Nak apa? Ayat cinta?"
"Tak nak"
"Nasi goreng?"
"Tak nak"
"Ais krim?"
"Tak nak"
"Habis nak apa?"
"Hihihi"
"Orang tanya tak nak jawab"
"Abang, abang"
"Ara nak apa sebenarnya?"
"Can we go for a walk?"
"Sekarang?"
"Ha'a"
"Pagi nanti kita pusing habis satu Hartamas. Sekarang kita tidur dulu"
"Tak nak"
"Yelah. Jom"
"Hihihi"

"Abang jangan mati tau"
"Ha?"
"Sunyi la kita kalau abang mati"
"Semua orang akan mati"
"Abang jangan mati. Kita cakap jangan, jangan la"
"Ha ye"
"Abang pegang tangan kita sampai kita tua tau"
"Ye"
"Sampai kita kerepot"
"Ha"
"Abang, thanks jalan-jalan dengan kita"
"Seronok?"
"Ha'a. Abang, boleh tak jangan pergi sana…kita tak nak abang mati"
"Abang pergi dua tiga minggu, lepas tu abang balik"
"Lama…"
"Sekejab je"
"Tak payah pergi, please. Kita tak nak abang pergi sana"
"Abang jaga diri. Janji"
"Kalau kena kepala macam mana? Siapa nak jaga kita?"
"Tak. InshaAllah"
