An Appreciaton Post to Cleaners

Dear ayah,

Elly sekarang tengah cuti CNY. Got 12 days break which is odd cause other classes in Unisza only got 4-5 days break je hahahaa ok. Im here not to tell you bout my cny break actually. Im here to tell you about cleaners

You knowww cleanerss~ The one that clean up our mess and dirty things we are tend to avoid of. The one that give us reasons to throw away trashes wherever we one. The one with lower education and give us a ticket to disrespected them

No. Thats not what cleaners actually do. Itu hanyalah pemikiran dan definisi tukang cuci buat mereka yang tak matang dan tak guna.

"Alaaa aku buang sepah sepah supaya cleaners tu ada keje nak buat. Takdelah curik tulang je memanjang" " eh dah memang keje diorang kemas mejakan. Aku biar jelah sampah atas tu"

Ive heard and seenn this kind of act before my eyes. Eh, i wonderlah. Takde ke kita ni rasa sekelumit pun kesian kat diorang? Takde ke rasa respect tu walau setebal benang sekalipun? Theyre elders like our parents too. Why dont we treat them like we treat our parents?

You know, waktu Elly kat matriks kelantan dulu. These people, the cleaners lah yang actually banyak tolong Elly kat sana. Elly still ingat lagi how nice and kind acik cleaners tolong Elly.

Waktu tu kuliah math and Elly memang ya Allah sakit gila perut. Perut memulas and I spend like 30 mins in toilet muntah and more. Nasib ada Hanis tolong papah. Rasa cam nak pitam. After kuliah math, i excuse myself. Bawa diri ke blok dan rehat kat bilik sakit sebab tak larat nak naik bilik kat atas. Nak gi blok A (Al-Nasawi) tu pun rasa nak mati (siapa duduk kmkt tahulah blok A tu jauh dia camne) inikan pula nak naik atas

Fyi, Elly tidur mata terbuka and sometines separa terbuka. So, almost all the time Elly half-asleep. Yes, I can see and hear most of the things in surroundings. Yes, Elly pernah dengar orang ngumpat Elly time tidur, ngumpat orang lain and few people pernah kena tangkap nak amek barang Elly lol

Ok back to story. Waktu rehat tu terdengar ada suara makcik-makcik duk kecoh kecoh and i can see blurry images of few people. "Siannya budakni""budak ni sakit apa""pucat muka dia" and more. Disebabkan Elly tak lena, Elly bangun and wallaah!! Ada 10 orang acik kepung Elly. They keep on asking questions at me. Macam peluru M16 ke hape lah soalan kena tembak kat Elly dan dalam kebingungannya Elly pun cuba jawab pertanyaan mereka

Starting from that day, they notice me as 'budak-kecik-yang-selalu-sakit'. Sepanjang duduk sana, Elly pernah pergi klinik for 6 times for various reason and 1 kali masuk bahagian kecemasan. Every single day, waktu Elly nak gi kelas diorang mesti akan tanya Elly ihat ke dah makan ke sakit lagi ke. Diorang teramatlah concern dengan kesihatan Elly.

Every morning, I will greet them and diorang akan tanya my health conditions without a miss. Especially dua orang acik yang specifically assigned untuk bersihlan tandas kat Blok A. Sorang Elly panggil ibu and the other one i only call her acik. Tak dapat kenal lama dengan acik tu sebab she quit her job to work at a restaurant if im not mistaken.

Ibu banyak tolong Elly. Kitorang selalu share several stuffs with each other. Stuff that i couldnt share with my mum sebab takut beliau risau since she live in Perak and im in Kelantan. Makes her worried probably not the best thing to do (eventho i still did) Ibu pernah bagi makanan couple times and always advice me to took care of my health. Shes one hella great lady. Dia selalu cerita pasal anak dia and how she want to futher her study but she cant. Faktor kewangan.

Beside her, ada 2 orang akak (they look younger so  i assume theyre akak) yang memang baik nak matey hahaha. They help me during my probably hellish month ever kat kmkt tu.

Kaki Elly kena infection. Second degree infection which quite severe. Kaki kiri Elly bengkak, bernanah and sometimes bleeding. Kaki takleh bengkok and jalan pun kena menyeret. Time tu Elly terpaksa solat duduk, kaki balut dengan kain takut darah keluar and everytime nak cuci kaki memang akan menjerit tahan sakit and opkosh menangis. Kekadang gigit napkin sebab tanak jerit. MasyaAllah memang time tu I had the worst month ever. Time mandi pun jangan cakaplah. Kena mandi duduk sebab kaki sentiasa berdenyut sakit, lenguh and paling terseksa bila pergi kelas aras tiga. Takleh berdiri lama and memang macam nak tercabut kaki ni sakit dia.

Time tu awal sem dua ke hujung sem 1. Tak ingat. Elly tak bagitau lagi mak time tu sampai week 2-3 camtu baru bagitau sebab memang tak tahan sangat sakit. I lost my appetite and lose my wieght drastically beside the fact im on diet to save up some money

Ok mana part cleaner tadi? Haa disebabkan kaki bernanah, Elly pakai bandage. Time tu kelas aras dua kelas math. Bandage tu terbukak so i went to toilet to fix it. Time tulah dua akak tu notice kaki Elly. Diorang interview Elly and one of them kata dia ada ubat untuk kasi Elly.

Akak 1 offer nak papah Elly tapi Elly jual mahal (acah kuat pfft pastu menyesal) and akak 2 lak gi lari pi bilik rehat khas diorang. Kat situ Elly bukak balik bandage and akak 2 tu offer nak sapu ubat tu kat luka Elly. Elly tak kasi. Yelah, kaki bernanah and bengkak kot. Even I, myself was disgusted with myself. But NO! Dia sapukan jugak ubat. Siap urutkan kaki perlahan-lahan while akak 1 tolong packkan ubat aloe vera tu. Dahlah ubat tu baru beli. Still wrapped with plastic lagi

Cuba tahan rasa terharu but failed. Memang nanges teruk ar terharu takleh nak cakap. Akak 1 peluk Elly and said, "tahan ye dik. Tahan sikit sakit. Adik kuat. Still pergi kelas walaupun kaki sakit". Memang ya Allah, ive been pretending to be strong for too long and finally someone actually notice my effort. Memang aku bersyukur gila and berterima kasih gila dengan akak akak tu. Theyre wonderful people with golden heart. Madam Azila, my chemist lab lect's also gave me the same medicine. May Allah bless all of you.

Lepas kaki sihat, they still tanya khabar and tengok kaki ok ke tak. Hahaha im glad for their existence. Paling heartbreaking waktu last day kat kmkt. I hugged Ibu and she cried so hard. She said, dah takde dah budak nak tegur dia pepagi, tanya khabar dia apa semua. Mayn, memang overwhelming gila moment tu. Nanges terharu bila fikir balik hahaha

Thanks to that 10 valuable months, im starting to appreciate them more and more.  My point here is diorang mungkin tak se-educated kita. Tak berpelajaran tinggi, tak kerja mewah and more. Tapi itu tak bermakna kita patut pandang rendah sehingga hilang  segala hormat kita. Tanpa diorang, tandas kat kolej and uni kita takkan bersih. Diorang pun ada perasaan dan maruah. Diorang pun ibu dan ayah kepada anak-anak kat luar tu

Please, appreciate them more. Tegurlah mereka, tanya khabar and treat them with something nice. Takde rugi apa pun buat baik dengan mereka. Instead, Allah will repay us with something much valuable. I treat them with respect and look at how they treat me. Theyre people with the most expensive personality ever. Tak kisahlah diorang Indonesian ke Nepal ke Bangladesh. Treat them with respect. Tak semua pekerja warga asing yang jahat. Pekerja nepal pernah tolong pulangkan my purse yang tertinggal kat toilet, ada yang pernah tolong cari duit tercicir.

the world need more love from us so lets spread the love and respect to others tanpa memikirkan kulit, educational level, ages and nationality. May Allah bless our efforts. Assalamualaikum :)
