AL-Fatihah

last night, a close friend of mine (more like a big brother) lost his mother to diabetes.

aku kenal kawan ni, dah lama. since 1995. yup, tahun aku start keje.
kenal masa sesama buat Dip.Ed kat Shah Alam.

anyway, he rang me at about 11.10pm which was very unusual because he never calls me late at night. anyway, i did not expect anything bad la. just the normal, maybe dia nak mintak tolong something.

when i answered the phone, he bagi salam and asked if i'm already asleep to which i said, belom. tengah siapkan keje sket. so he laughingly ( rasa nye macam gelak) said, keje pun bawak balik rumah ke...

then dia citer la dia dah bawak anak dia check mata tengahari tadi (i knew he went to GH that afternoon sebab masa dia nak pegi tu, aku terserempak dengan dia)... so aku pun cakap, ooooo.

then dia cakap, mak aku masuk ICU ahad lepas... aku tekejut la. and terus tanye how is she.

dia diam 4-5 saat pastu cakap, ni yg nak bagitau kau. mak aku baru meninggal jap ni tadik.

terpelanting henpon aku. dalam kepala, apsal la mamat ni tak terus cakap mak dia meninggal awal-awal... dia leh citer dulu bende lain.

come to think of it, mungkin dia nak reduce sedih dia before dia gitau aku. sepanjang aku kenal dia, susah nak tengok dia sedih. dia sentiasa ceria... kalau dia marah pun, jarang dia tunjuk.

anyway, pas dapat tau tu, aku terus upload news tu kat facebook. then baru aku sms a few other friends about this. esok nye aku bagitau yg lenlain including bos-bos. i knew he may not be able to call ramai orang sebab dia of course busy nak uruskan urusan arwah mak dia. dan instinct aku betul sebab later dia bagitau one of bos kami, dia memang call aku sorang je dgn harapan i will tell the rest about the news.

so around 9.15am kami reramai gi kampung dia (dalam 1/2 jam from our work place) to visit. fyi, i was never good at talking to people who have just lost their love ones. so bila berdepan dengan dia tadi... memang said a few words je kat dia.

his mother was buried before Zohor. Semoga roh arwah dikumpulkan bersama orang-orang beriman... Al-Fatihah.

the image is not that focused as my eyes already berpinar.
but it was indeed a beautiful sight to behold.
plus, managed to snap my favourite constelation, Orion.
