Enam bulan pasca pemergian Mama

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Jumaat, 17 Februari 2023

Mama telah menghembuskan nafas yang terakhir pada jam 3.45 petang di Hospital Selayang akibat jangkitan kuman di dalam paru-paru. Jenazah beliau telah dibawa pulang dan disemadikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Bukit Permata setelah disempurnakan di Masjid Al-Khairiyah Taman Sri Gombak. Inilah pengalaman aku yang pertama memandikan jenazah, ya jenazah ibu aku sendiri.

Sewaktu sedang berada di dalam keramaian sanak-saudara, jiran-tetangga dan sahabat-handai yang mengunjung masih tak terasa sebak kerana agak kalut ke sana ke mari. Tetapi apabila tetamu semua dah balik owhh mulalah kesedihan sedikit demi sedikit mencengkam hati. Itu boleh tahan lagi sebab Akak dan Ezam teman kat rumah selama tiga hari. The real battle of loneliness strikes lepas aku perlu menjalani kehidupan secara bersendirian tanpa Mama di sisi.

Orang bercerai hidup iddah 3 bulan, bercerai mati 4 bulan 10 hari, aku dah sampai 6 bulan baru nak betul-betul heal. Ye la aku duduk celah ketiak Mama sejak bayi kot. Setiap kali aku nak menulis kat blog ni pasal pemergian Mama, baru nak tulis Assalamualaikum - baru tekan huruf A dah berjurai air mata pilu. Rosak pulak keyboard aku nih karang. Tutuplah dulu, nanti try tulis lagi.

Tangguh punya tangguh dah dekat 6 bulan simpan cerita, even kat social media pon aku tak tulis apa-apa berkenaan perkara ni. I'm just heartbroken by the passing of my mother, beyond sad, no words can describe my feelings. Syukurlah Akak dan Ezam very supportive, they are always there entertaining soalan cepu cemas aku di dalam WhatsApp. Same goes to my dear friends, they always ask about my condition every now and then.

Selain daripada tu aku develop minat yang baru iaitu brisk walk. Petang lepas kerja mesti jalan dalam more or less 5km. Aku pegi either Titiwangsa, Metropolitan, Tasik Sri Gombak or kalau malas sangat around Fasa 2 je aku terpusing-pusing. Lepas tu Tito dah ramai kawan sekarang sebab aku feed strays. Geram juga tengok kadang-kadang tu Tito kena buli tapi takpe la Tito yer kita kongsi rezeki.

Ada benda yang aku nak start tapi aku belum confident - SWIMMING. Sebab lepas keluar ICU tahun lepas macam cepat penat sikit. Tapi tak lama lagi dah ni aku nak cukupkan keyakinan, asyik mandi dalam bilik air je, nak juga mandi kolam, kan..

Apelagi nak cerita, ish dah tak sync tajuk dengan isi penting. Kat atas tadi bukan main formal kan. Begitulah penulisan yang tak organised. Ye la bukan mengarang untuk Annual Report. Blog jer..

Actually perkara yang amat aku takuti dah berlaku, Mama dah pergi buat selamanya meninggalkan aku dengan rindu yang tak berpenghujung. Hanya doa dan segala kebaikan dapat aku kirimkan untuk Mama di alam sana. Buat sahabat yang membaca nukilan ini mohon sedekah Al-Fatihah untuk ibuku Hajah Mohani binti Haji Ali. 

Terima kasih dan salam hormat.

Beach Escapade, Thistle Port Dickson







A quick escape from Kuala Lumpur during 2020 new year holidays brought us to Port Dickson. It was an undecided movement whether to go or not to go and I suddenly wrongly booked the room for 11 nights instead of 1 night, owh silly me! I was literally panicking around after getting text message from my bank - RM2000++ was charged for the booking. Luckily Agoda arranged for the refund accordingly after 2 days and the process was swift. 

What I remember is the room's occupancy was high during that time, could see the coffee house was crowded during breakfast and swimming pool is packed with hotel guests. I had my swimwear with me but the appetite to swim was not really burning. So I skipped that little bit fun time of mine and walked with Mama to the beach.

Mama with her magic stick walked slowly and we sat at the bench by the infinity pool overlooking the mundane seaside of Port Dickson. After that we went out looking for dinner and bought some fruits for snacking.  

The next day we had pretty good breakfast spread and checked out from the hotel. Then straightly heading to Pedas for another gastronomic adventure.
