Kg. Sungai Gali, Gong Datuk
Pasir Puteh, Kelantan
At around 1.30am on that fateful morning, we received a phone call from kak limah. in between her sobbing, we got to know that her mother (mak long - the eldest sister of my late father-in-law) had just passed away. earlier this very year it was pak long, her husband. i can sensed my wife's uneasiness. what should we do? but without her asking i already knew what is in her mind. pondering...it doesn't really make sense. unjustly, i was also a bit annoyed. y'see...during aidilfitri i did planned to make the maiden journey back there. leave was applied ahead but for a particular reason, it did not happened. now, at this hour...with the kids already sleeping...meetings all lined up for the day...and by the way, i don't have the slightest clue on how to get there! what i felt at that time however did not seem right. the outcome seems predestined. it was the least that i can do. for my wife. for the family and ultimately for the deceased. we have to carry out this final obligation. so, we left at 2.30am for our longest journey ever by car. call after call asking for directions with abang din (thank you, bro!) we finally arrived in kg. sungai gali, gong datuk, pasir puteh at around 10 something in the morning. once everything is over, we began our journey back to kl at around 9pm and alhamdulillah arrived safely back home at around 9 something in the morning. what a trip! in a way, i am glad we made the trip. a lesson definitely learned... sometimes we have to let life take its course. we can make all the plans we want...but Allah SWT has already planned every single thing for you. Subhanallah!
