Kasih Semalam [Part 2]

Hari Sabtu. Si ayah merenung ke langit, mendepang tangannya dan menghela nafas panjang. Fikirannya berkira-kira untuk perancangannya hari itu. Langit memerah. Waktu solat Subuh akan masuk sebentar lagi. Dikejutkan si ibu, dan berlalu untuk mengambil wudhu.

Si ibu mencuci matanya, dan berlalu ke bilik anak-anaknya. Dikejutkannya seorang demi seorang. Subuh itu mereka berjemaah bersama. Usai solat, si ayah berbicara..

"Kita kena selalu cakap 'alhamdulillah' setiap kali bangun pagi, sebab masa kita tidur tu, sebenarnya kita mati sekejap,"

"Mati sekejap, abah?" soal Muaz. Anak-anak menatap wajah ayah penuh minat.

"Ya, Muaz. Sekejap. Sebab tu, sebelum tidur kita mengucap, macam yang kita selalu buat tu. Sebab kita tak tahu pun kita bangun ke tak esok pagi," luah si ayah.

Si ibu mengusap ubun-ubun anaknya. "Kamu semua dah hafal ke doa bangun tidur?" soalnya.

"Dah, umi!" jawab mereka, serentak. Lantas mereka membacanya bersama-sama. Si ibu dan ayah tersenyum.

"Sayang Allah tak?" tanya si ayah.

"Sayang!"

"Banyak mana?" tanya ayah lagi.

Setiap seorang anak-anak itu cuba mendepangkan tangan mereka selebar mungkin. Si ayah tertawa.

"Okay, abah faham. Sayang sangat la ni?"

"Haah, abah,"

Si ayah merendahkan badannya, dan berbisik. Semua anak-anak merapati si ayah.

"Sayang abah dan umi tak?"

Keempat-empat anak kecil itu memandang sesama mereka. Mereka tersenyum, dan semuanya memeluk si ibu dan si ayah hingga jatuh terbaring. Mereka tertawa lagi.

Beberapa ketika kemudian, si ayah menyambung bicaranya.

"Haa, hari ni hari Sabtu kan?"

"Ya, abah. Kita nak pergi padang ke?" Mata anak-anak bercahaya. Mereka menanti jawapan si ayah.

"Yes. Kita akan memanah hari ini!" laung ayah penuh semangat sambil menghalakan penumbuknya ke atas.

Anak-anak melompat. Tak sabar untuk terus belajar seperti minggu sebelumnya. Masing-masing mencium tangan dan dahi si ibu dan si ayah, lalu berlari untuk mandi.

The Results are OUT!

bismillah. It's a wonderful day. Today is the day I get my A-Level results. Yippie!   It is however, due to my psychicness, that I won't carve a smile on my parents face. Had that feeling in my gut since July. It's a feeling of, discomfort. And nothing can shake it off. I'd like to say a lot here. About what happened to me since that particular July. But I'd end up whining things I shouldn't. Better save it for someone better to listen to. And to not-my-surprise, my results were under par. And I am not sad. At all. Well, maybe a little, but no mental breakdown whatsoever. This, however, never happened to me. I never went into an exam, and NOT pass. Never. Not the UPSR. Not PMR. Not SPM. *not trying to boast here* And this is the first. And I gotta tell ya. It doesn't hurt so bad. I've seen many of my friends went nuts and cry a lot after their results didn't come out as good as others. And I didn't know what to do, th

Something Worth Promoting

bismillah. Hello! Hello! Buat adik-adik lepasan SPM 2011, adik-adik daftar ke mana lepas ni? Ni haa~ akak nak promote ni. Once in a lifetime chance. I want to promote to you.. KOLEJ TEKNOLOGI TIMUR! Well, people say we can't judge a book by its cover kan? So, akak tak maulah tayang wajah sebenar KTT Sepang ni. *hehe Kolej ni adalah antara kolej terkecil kat Malaysia. (kot) everything is in two blocks of shop houses. Can you imagine that? All the halls and libraries and musolla and the cafes and the staffrooms. Even our houses! One thing that awes me the most when I first came here is the way everything was planned to work. It's hard to imagine the way they first planned to place this and that in that small area. But it totally worked out! AWESOMEEE! A lot is going on while you're in KTT. We have activities like normal colleges do, but in a smaller scale (i guess) Yeah, it's easy to live here. You can't easily fly anywhere without a tra

Take Me Back.

bismillah. It's been a while since I've been here. I didn't feel worthy enough to write again. But I promised myself that I won't quit. I browsed through my old facebook notes. And this is a particularly sad one, because I've been in the same circle for years, never learning my lesson. I am hoping by posting this, I myself am reminded. So, here goes. " Take Me Back " 28 September 2012 at 00:44 I'm walking into this room again. It's half full, but I am so alone. I can almost hear my heart thumping, as I tried so hard to hide how its beats were playing the notes I don't want people to ever hear. Fear. I'm scared to face you again here. The place where solace was so near, I could dream forever. I'm scared, because it has been long. I have been constantly leaving you. Giving excuses to myself, that by leaving I was actually finding myself. Lie. A big fat lie. The world has put a big blob of dis
