Dan aku rapatkan tanganku..

a few days before aidilfitri...
i brought her layer cakes..
terubuk and clothes..
that cheered her up..
but more than that, she was happy because its near to aidilfitri...
its time for all to gather.. meet family members..
forgive and been forgiven..
but this year is different.. this boy got something to ask from her..
that maghrib.. we break fast..
so specially.. but i got to be gone a bit early..
to see my cousin in ward..
she reminded me to come to her house on 3rd syawal..

a few days after..
i went to her house again.. she was cheerful..
as usual.. her bro in law came out with many jokes..
and those jokes became the laughing stock in the middle of the house..

3rd syawal, a day before i head back to kuching..
me and my family paid a visit..
it was so special for me..
for her too.. for everyone in both families..
after a great lunch.. her nice lauk pauk and food..
my mom and her discussed future..
near future..
they agreed on a few things.. i felt blessed..
and thats what this boy asked for.. blessing..
at least i walk out of the house..
with a smile upon my face..

today.. its different..
an early Saturday for me..
i wanted to go to an aidilfitri open house..
i turned back home realizing i left my wallet..
on my way back out from the village..
buttercup called.. it was a shocking news..
i hit the break, parked my car by the roadside..
talked thru the phone.. while crying..
made a call.. while crying..
drove my car..while crying..

Dan aku rapatkan tanganku..
reciting Al-Fatihah..

and she will always be remembered.. love
