His resting place...

This coming Sunday is Father's day right? So I decided to have it in advance. I bought carnations for him..and went to his resting place. There were three men doing some cleaning work..its a sign that Ramadhan is coming I think... I squat beside his 'bed' and in my mind I imagine that I jokingly said to him..do you know that you are the luckiest old man? I brought you flowers you know..hahaha.. (s...illy me) trying hard to crack a joke when actually I feel like I going to cry full heartedly. Then I started to do some sweeping...kutip2 daun, ragut2 rumput...susun2 bunga. Sudenly came an old man..'Assalamualaikum" "Waalaikumsalam" "Awak anak Abdul Rahman adik Cikgu Mokhtar ya." "Ya, saya. Tapi bapak saya abang, aruah Cikgu Mokhtar adik." "Sorang jer?" "A'ah" "Ha..yelah" the pakcik replied and he left.. Then..I continued with kutip2 daun again, dalam hati baca la apa2 yang patut. Then..tak sampai satni pakcik tu mai semula. Dia pun kata.. mari kita buat tahlil untuk dia. I dgn penuh bodoh tanya..how much will it cost? The pakcik just geleng2 his kepala, then he sat and start the bacaan tahlil and I joined him. Lepas tu..yang dua orang dok tengah mesin rumput..stop their work and joint us. Wow.. today is really your day eh Bapak... and though this is already my 4th visit..I still broke into tears. This time its maybe I am so terharu with those pakcik's kindness. Dia nampak aku macam kayu sorang2 kat kubur tu..dia tolong ajar what you suppose to do when you are visiting the resting place. Or perhaps his fartherly instinct kicking in...kesian budak neh.. bottom line is..terima kasih pakcik2..u have made me happy and rasanya Bapak saya pun happy dapat tahlil dari pokcik2 dan anak dia yang comot ni. InsyaAllah. ~humanity restored~ See More
