Magda, don't go :(

I wish I have a photo of me with Magda.

Since I was in primary school, I've always wanted a red Honda Odyssey. Whenever I'm on road with my family, I would stare at any Odyssey that passes us with much desire. I don't know why I like that van so much, I just simply love it.

At school, I was sort of jealous with my old friend Adam (yes, that Adam Roslan) because he has a red Honda Odyssey. After school ended, we all would hurry to our respective parents who were waiting at the canteen or in the car. Often, I would glance at Adam with his red Odyssey.

Years later, Abah finally decided on getting a van for us. However, vans are quite expensive, he said. So, after much thinking, he decided to buy a re-con one. He went to this site somewhere in KL to browse through the vans. There, he found a suitable van for us - spacious, in good condition, not too expensive and the brand he loves most. He found a red Honda Odyssey.

He took my mom to that place about twice, before he brought me along. When I first laid my eyes on that Odyssey, I immediately fell in love with her. She was everything I wished for. Then, the salesman, Mike Tay let us looked around inside the van. No word can explain how I felt back then.

Several years have passed. Now, Magda is not as convenient for us as much as before. Kaklong and Abang both are away; one in Kuantan while the other in Sydney. Kakngah is getting a car of her own very soon. Plus, Abah now prefer to drive Paulo even for long distances. So, poor Magda is always left at home.

Abah is thinking of selling Magda.

I love Magda. Although I do think that she is too big and spacious for us now, I am still happy to travel with her. Besides seeming so motherly, she makes me feel cool. I also have some kind of special bond with her, because almost everytime we travel long-distance, I would sit alone with my thoughts at the back with my MP3/Charli on. It's like I have my own space.

I love Magda. I don't want her to go. Although I'm not sure myself whether I can drive her on my own later, I still want her to be around.

I love Magda. I don't want her to go. I hope Abah won't sell her :(
