Takdir Allah

Sunday afternoon
my phone beeped and 'cik is not well..i wa...' appeared on the screen.. Opened and read the message from him. he said he wants to go back in terengganu. I replied 'ok. we'll get the bus ticket tomorrow'.

things went on well, he was happy man u won againts everton. My family had a small bbq, my aunt and her family came over. He did too. i was very happy, but abit stressed out since the day after is a working day. past 1030, he went back to his small crib.

Monday
phone beeped again. 'i'm already at the hospital.kerja elok2.i love you' he wrote. i replied back, 'dont forget to apply for leave okay?'. worked really hard, and by 5pm, it started to rain. this is no cats and dogs. it rained so heavily and the wind was strong too. As i walked to my car, i was nearly blowned away by the wind. (exaggeration) but it was such a windy2 day, plus the rain. Reached home around 630pm. sat infront of the box as i had to have my daily dose of SpaaQ.huahua. Suddenly my phone rang. He seldomnly calls but it was him. answered the call;

him: ya, where are you?
Me: i am at home. just got home from work. it rained so heavily tadi
him: ya.... (long silence)
Me: yes dear
him: Cik dah takde. ya cik dah takde ya.. (he was already crying)

I was already speechless by then. Cik is the beloved grandfather. i've met him, once and i love him immediately. such a nice and warm old man. and it breaks my heart that He didnt get to by cik's side during his last breath. Cik died of old age. He was 90 plus. Later in our conversation i told him to get ready, i'll take him to the bus station and he;ll head back to terengganu that night itself. He agreed. Thanks God he got himself a bus ticket and by 9 he was already on his way back to Terengganu. Me? i had to stay. I told him if he ever needed me with him, i can take the next flight, but he assured me that he'll be alright. The burial proceedings was done immediately and he didnt get to say his final goodbye to cik before he goes 6 feet under. Anyways, he took the news quite badly. and i understand perfectly. Cik was the one who took him and picked him up from school. Cik was a big part of him. He loved his grandfather so much. Nevertheless, this is what Allah planned for us all. May Allah bless Cik's soul and ditempatkan dikalangan orang2 yang beriman. And i told him to always make du'a for cik. Sad as anyone will be, It is all in the Power of the Lord, Allahuakbar..

al-Fatihah.
