Assalamualaikum.

14th of May, 2012.
2245 hours.
The phone's ringing.
He was in the midst of
preparing to do
the assignment.
He went for the call
a wee bit later
and looked at the screen
"It's Aqilah. Why is it?"
and undeniably
all of the sudden
his heart's felt
all of the sudden
his heart's felt
like pounding harder
that moment.
The call answered.
"Yes Aqilah, why is it?"
"Along, didn't Umi call you yet?"
"No she didn't, why is it then?"
"He passed. Just a moment ago."
and then, Umi called.
"Gotta go. Umi's calling."
and the same news received.
"Along, Abah's gone."
He kept quiet.
"Are you going back?
Can you go back?
If you're, I'll bank in the money."
"Yes, yes, it's okay."
"I'll be going back tomorrow,
since there's no bus at the moment."
"Okay."
Spontaneously
he updated his Facebook status
and recited Yassin
and went for a walk
which later turned out to be
a hangout with
Faiz, Soul, KM, Acap
because drizzles broke down
wetting the earth.
Eventually
at 0200 hours or so
he went back Melaka
in a dash
credits to his uncle
which coincidentally
just reached Perlis
all the way from Kuantan
back then
for some work
and now
it has been three days.
Alhamdulillah
the funeral went good and all
It's just the matter of
adapting
and moving on
making a new turnover
out of life.
To be truthful
yes, somehow rather
he's fine.
Perfectly fine, God willing
even from the first day
It's just that
he's now
the leader of the house, itself
nevertheless
he's not fully eligible
to take charge
on immediate effect
and to make his mum waiting
for another few more years
before he can step up
has left him feeling guilty.
So does the worry of
his family's adaptability
while he's at Perlis
and not being around
somewhere near them
instead.
Hurmmm.
This is just another test, perhaps
he's just have to endure it
as always
isn't he? :)
The Lord will be helping, for sure.
It's just the matter of time
and prayers
and probably a few other factors too.
Till then
again
hopefully the ceased
will be kept
from the grave's torture
and forgiven for all the sins done.
