PlumPlum with Jules' SLR

Once there were two friends, Sugar Plum (aka PlumPlum) and Pumpkin Pie (aka PiePie). They were aquainted through mutual friends and they were cordial enough to each other. Upon meeting PlumPlum, PiePie was in awe of her perfect features and rosy cheeks. Those same features soon made PiePie sickly orangy complexion green with envy. Despite PlumPlum’s charm, Piepie was apprehensive towards her.

It was not until a couple of years later that PiePie changed her mind about PlumPlum. She loved the other’s company a lot. PlumPlum was also a sort of role model for PiePie. Even though Piepie seemed to have had an epiphany, PiePie was still envious of PlumPlum’s beuty. As shallow as it was, PiePie was still a teenager trying to learn to love who she was and it only took one person to make that happened.

One day, a naughty boy teased and taunted PiePie because of her imperfect, crooked teeth which was a very sensitive matter (and still is) to her. PlumPlum had heard this and her next words changed everything to PiePie. “Crooked teeth or not, PiePie is beautiful. Not everyone can see that but I do,” said PlumPlum.

It was a simple gesture and I am sure you don’t even remember it. You could not have said anything else that would boost my self-esteem at that time. When you recalled that incident when I had defended you about “baju kurung”, it was nothing compared to what you have imprinted in me that day.

This is for you, love.

Happy Birthday B!
