Who's your neighbour?

Zaman sekarang ni, kita dah xkisahkan neighbour kita. Either we are too busy with our daily life or we just don't care. Let me tell you, when i was small we had good neighbours. Esp. The ones next door to us.

But as years passed, the kind neighbour moved out and new neighbours came in. The new neighbour was different. We thought they are just plain selfish and ignorant because whenever we are out, they'll park their cars infront of our house. That's the extent that they went.

Later it was our turn to move out. But it was more or less the same. And my little family unit also moved out into our own nest. But it's different entirely. I have amazingly kind and nice and helpful neighbours.

For and instance, last week husband was away for three days. Usually i'd just camp at my mom's but that didn't happen. Definitely. But i didnt tell my neighbour that the husbands not in. Until the last day husband was away, i received a text that morning. The text read 'Nadia, just to inform you Mr Tan and I will not be in tonight.'

I smiled. They are one kind neighbour. They are concerned about my kids and my safety. I told husband. He said syukur to Allah. Now thats what we do. Watch each others back.

Husband was out for futsal. Suddenly at around 9 pm he called and told that his car broke down. So he asked me to go 'rescue' him. I was hurrying when i guess the neighbour heard me. She came out and asked if i was going to my mom's. No i said. I'm going to check on the husband. Suddenly, she was saying, eh takpela we follow u. Nanti kids siapa nak jaga. Really i couldn't say no to their kindness. So yes mrs Tan came with me and the kids to check on dear husband.

Aih. Seriously. I could never aske for more. Your neighbour, they are the closest to you. Therefore we must maintain good relationship with our neighbours.

Moral of the story, you must want to know who your neighbours areans you must be kind to them. They will be kind to you.
