Dear Ayah,
13 Ogos arituh, itu tarikh Elly balik sepatutnya balik Kedah yah. Sehari sebelum tu, rumah kita dilanda banjir yah. Tinggi jugaklah yah air masuk sampai ke paras betis Elly. Cerita tu, nanti Elly cerita ye yah
Pagi esoknya, Elly sebok kemas barang untuk pergi Unisza and balik Kedah. Punyalah excited nak balik jumpa mak, bangun-bangun je teroih wasep mak, bincang pasei tiket pesemua. Siap beli tiket online lagi tau yah.(Seat 19-Rm53-11mlm)
Malam tu, Elly dah siap semua barang tetibe dapat wasep kata Wan Chik tak berapa sihat. Elly doa bebanyak yah. Wan Chik, mak sedara kesayangan sakit yah. Elly mampu berdoa ja. Sampai kat Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Elly teroih cari makanan pa semua takut lapaq sebab last makan pon pukoi 3. Time tunggu, mak kol kata Wan Chik dah kritikal yah.
"Elly dah naik bas ke? Kalau tak balik Kedah tak boleh? Mak ingat nak gerak pi Kuale kangsar teroih malam ni"
"Oh kalau tak naik caner?"
"Nanti mak kol kakchik ke Angah suruh amekaw kat TBS eh"
"Mak, bas dah sampai mak, Baru sampai"
"Hm takpelah. Mak tunggu kau dulu lah baru balik kuale"
So, i went to the bus. Snap and settle off everything with worries running through my mind. I cant sleep, my head feels dizzy and i cant stop thinking bout Wan Chik, yah. Then, my biggest worry ever suddenly hits me. Mums called. While sobbing and with heavy breath, she said......"Elly, elly dah sampai mana...elly turun lepas ni boleh elly".."kenapa mak? Elly dah kat Hentian Duta ni".."Elly tau tak.. Wan Chik dah takde.. Mak.. Kena gerak pergi Kuale malam ni jugak. Elly turun ye kat Hentian Duta.... Nanti mak mintak Angah amekkan..".."Ok mak...."
As soon as the call ended, i grab my belongings and quickly off the bus...with pearl of waters rolling down off my cheek. I grab my luggage and find a seat to calm myself down. Couldnt hold my tears anymore. I cry,cry and cry.
Angah pick me up and went straight to home to pick up the rest of us. We were heading to Kuale with Abang Jad's family. Me, sitting on the passenger seat....still...couldnt believe the news ive received...
I couldnt continue the story because all the things happened too fast. I cant help myself from preventing my mind to wander into space most of time. I still remember the thing she said during our visit on eid raya.
"Elly , ko budak pandai. Belajar rerajin. Tolong mak kau tu. Sian kat dia. Banyak benda nak pikio nya"
Yes, Wanchik. Yes. In Shaa Allah ill do my best for my mum and of coz for you and ayah too. You guys mean the whole world for me. One thing tho that i wanna share during the funeral..
Mum, she looks so weak,fragile and helpless. Opah and Atok have left her. Her beloved husband, already left us since 15 years ago. And now, her one and only sister has gone.... forever.. i couldnt imagine myself on her shoes that day. Shes one strong lady to face all of this, yah. Youre marrying the right woman. Shes so strong and beautiful in many ways. Im praying that Allah will replace something beautiful for her. Reward her with happiness in this world and here after. You should watch how broken she is that day, yah. All i can do is to be her pillar of support and ... idk.. remembering that day already kills me a little.....well, at least Wan Chik is in better place now. Shes with you....
Ayah, death awaits no one...probably, the next one to go is me.idk what future awaits for me.i cant promise you tomorrow,yah. but.. i can promise you one thing. I, myself will be accompany you maybe sooner or later. Ill be busy preparing myself till then... Wait for me, yah and Wanchik. Wait for me.. so that we can go to heaven together..
Al-Fatihah Allayarhamah Khamizah Binti Salim
May Allah grant the highest rank of jannah and bless you always. Amin
