Al Fatihah
Dear Sufi,
She's two years younger than me. Known her for almost 3 years. But she has taught me about friendship, love, life and my own religion, Islam.
She has been the closest friend since I was carrying you in my tummy. I simply love to share with her everything about you - hmmmm maybe I should rephrase that. I DRENCHED her with my never ending stories about your habits and progress every single day. She's a good listerner but she's lucky I only meet her 5 days a week! And even luckier now that she doesnt have to put up with me every single day when she decided to leave the company a few months ago.
I now sit alone. I found her replacement though, Bonzai tree and Ivy. Hehe feeling kejap.
March 31st 2012 changed everything in Shahrini's life.
Al-Fatihah to Pakcik Iskandar.
I was cooking our lunch. To be frank, I don't know how to react when she called me on Saturday afternoon. She sounded calm but later broke into tears. At some point I feel so numb. I didn't cry. I didnt ask much. I didnt know what to say. Words just failed me. All I can do was to spill the news to friends and her ex-colleagues.
So after more than a week, yesterday I met her for a two hour lunch. I cried. Subhanallah, what a beautiful Muallaf family. It was all beautiful. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. She is a strong girl.
The greatest lost in my life was during Atuk (your great granny) passed away in 1991. 6 years later, my favourite aunty, Acik left. I cried so hard. I dreamt about them when I sleep. Nenek had to recite some Surah for me to peacefully sleep. When you were born, I remembered telling myself how great it will be if Acik is still alive - to see and hold you. Al-Fatihah to arwah Atuk and arwah Acik. I promise you, InsyaAllah I will dedicate a special entry about them. You just have to know them. Literally.
Shahrini, if you happen to read this, I've no intentions to make you sad.
It was a beautiful day. A day to be remembered and cherished. I am glad I was there with you and your late father.
Almost a year ago, celebrating Shahrini's 27th birthday...
In some ways, she has taught me to become humble. Alhamdulillah, I'm very thankful to have known her and hope our friendship lasts forever.
Thank you for the beautiful friendship.
Sufi, I hope you will find some great friends too :)
Love,
Mama
Surah Yunus ayat 101:
"Wahai Tuhanku! Sesungguhnya Engkau telah mengurniakan daku sebahagian dari kekuasaan (pemerintahan) dan mengajarku sebahagian dari ilmu tafsiran mimpi. Wahai Tuhan yang menciptakan langit dan bumi Engkau Penguasa dan Pelindungku di dunia dan di akhirat; sempurnakanlah ajalku (ketika mati) dalam keadaan Islam, dan hubungkanlah daku dengan orang-orang yang soleh".
