Semoga ditempatkan bersama kekasih-kekasih Allah.

Nenek passed away in her sleep on 7th February, last Monday. She was 91 years old then.



To be honest, I’m not really close to this nenek compared to another nenek since nenek yang satu lagi tu (belah emak), aku tidur dengan dia daripada kecik…. Manalah tak rapat kan. Nenek belah baba ni, aku jarang tidur rumah dia sebab jarak rumah pun tak jauh.. masa kecik-kecik dulu selalu la tidur sana.



Nevertheless, I do love her. She had her conservative way of living life, like all old grandmothers do. But what I liked best about her was she had her own special persona and the most affectionate person I’ve ever met. People instantly felt in love with her. Dari kecik sampai besar, setiap kali kitorang balik kampung dan bila tiba masa kitorang nak balik rumah sendiri, she cries. I had grown so fond of her. She was a loving person who engraved her name in the top list of our heart.



It was hard to lose her.



And it wrenched my heart to see my uncle, Wak Hasing dealing with her lose. Atuk dah lama pergi, jadi Wak Hasing tinggal dengan nenek. Dia tak banyak menangis, tapi lebih banyak isolate himself from others. That’s the true mourn yang membuatkan semua orang risau. Masa kitorang mandikan jenazah, Wak Hasing insist untuk turut sekali meriba arwah. Dia duduk di sebelah kiri arwah. Bila tiba masa nenek di palingkan ke arah kiri, dia peluk nenek sekemas-kemasnya, calmly kissing her face and her hair for the very last time, without any tears oozing from his cheek. Kitorang pulak yang macam nak pecah jantung tahan air mata tengok Wak Hasing macam tu. It was the saddest moment, indeed.



May Allah bless nenek’s soul and may she rest in peace..... amin ya Allah.
