Finger in Pain

I was in the kitchen, ready with an empty plate in my hand and was heading to the rice cooker, which its lid already has no handle. Without thinking, I tried to open the lid only with my finger and "Ooocchhhh!!!"

Quickly, I put my finger into my mouth. Then I checked, it was red. Because the lid was hot. I was sad. Not because the little pain I felt on the finger but I miss him.

One day, I was with him on our way back from JPJ. It was his first time renewing his driving license. No more P on his license now, he was so happy. He said, it is meaningful for him, "I collect this first license with you!".

While driving back, he tried to charge his iPad, connecting the cable into the car cigarette lighter in my car. It was not charging. Even that is my car, it was long time ago since the last time I used the compartment to do charging, so I am not sure what was the problem. So he was the one who struggled with the cable, while driving.




He tried to push the button inside the compartment with its cap. When he took out the cap, it was hot. So he said, "the lighter is functioned". He passed me the cap, while he was trying to connect again the iPad charging cable. "Hold this. Careful, it is hot"


At the same time, we were arguing about an issue. He was angry and we were in silent for a while he was still checking the iPad and its cable. I was doing something else, maybe checking my mobile phone or simply looking on the road. Forgetting that I was holding the hot cap, I suddenly misplaced my fingers so I touched the hot surface. I was screaming, my finger was in pain.

"You haaa....!!!!"
He slowed down the car.
"You are so careless! I told you, it is hot!!!"
He hold my hand, "Let me see..."
"It is okay, I am okay...", I replied.
"Let me see...!", he was checking my finger, and rub it with his finger. I was looking at him, he still look angry but I felt love.

It was the same finger. The different is, he was not here.
