Hey guys, since PMR finished its been the happiest and saddest time of my life.
Happiest because lately I've been seing dotdotdot more than I'd hope to. I mean it's uncomfortable sure. And it hurts me inside to not be able to face facts. But that's just the way things are, i guess. Broken hearted aside, Its as if there was no hole everytime I see her smile. Rindu gila babi la kat joyah. Babi pun tak gila macam ni. Ku Mahu Kau Tahu has been keeping me company. I can take care of myself don't worry. But just so you know, I wont accept care from anyone else except you. Im waiting still. Its almost two whole months now. Hasnt been a second that im not thinking of you. Im happily waiting. Because i know, it will all be worth it at the end of the day.
Saddest because My atuk preferably called abah went into ICU at University Hospital on October 15th. He suffered a heart attack which lead to many fatal problems. He's resting now. I pray every day and every night that he recovers fast. He was a father to me. A role model. A hero. My atuk's name is Abdul Aziz bin Mokhtar. He is a Japanese man who migrated to Malaysia when he was a child. Raised by the local malays in Johor. My two great grandparents, Tok Tih and Tok Yim. He was the second child among the seven. He was well known to be tough, strong, and determined. The main criterias for a good leader. And yes he is. He was sent off to a military school when he was my age. Pursued his career in the army and went on to be a High rank Artillary Major. He was responsible to fight off communists during post-merdeka dates. Being in the army taught abah how to suck it up. Meaning ignoring fear, pain and doubt. I have never seen Atuk more sad as he is now.
The tale of true love as i see it is best shown between the care and love portrayed by my atuk and nenek. My nenek;s name is Fathilah binti Ibrahim. She's the nenek mainly my friends know as Bagan Lalang Nenek. Haha. As i stood there, crying, helpless in the room with all my relatives, My nenek was holding his hand. Scrubbing it, one after another. She kept saying, " Aziz, I ada kat sini eh? Everything is gonna be alright.. Everything is gonna be alright.." My atuk is in a coma, therefore he could not respond. But he could hear everything we were saying. He could respond with just mere hand grasps and leg shakings. My nenek was never tired and stood by his side the whole time. Washing his face, whispering the sweet lullabies of the Yassin into his ears. One night, we got word from the doctors that my atuk had very minimal chance of making it. We were torn apart. There wasnt a light at the end of the tunnel. We wept. But no. My nenek didnt participate in grief. Instead she wanted to spend the last hours of his husband not in sadness. But in happiness. She went to his room. Holding in every tear, and starting talking normally. Informing him on whats going on the news and saying who came to visit him and whatnot. My atuk LOVED to watch CNN. everytime he comes to our houses hed switch the channels. end up semua boring. haha.
These two lovebirds care deeply for each other. I know this because they spend every moment together. Nak beli roti pun pegi sama2. Nak beli ubat dari pharmacy pun sama2. Nak manja2 dengan cucu sama2. Nak masak pun sama2. If unfortunately he's gone. I dont think my nenek can take it very well. Who could? Thats why as the eldest cucu I have to give her all the love she needs.
I got to spoke with atuk recently. well he couldn't respond but It was just me and him. I finally had the chance to say what i want to say to him.
The conversation went like this,
"atuk, adruce ni. atuk jangan sedih. Semua orang ada dekat sini untuk atuk. Atuk jangan risau, lepas ni adruce boleh tolong masakkan untuk aiman, nuha, tasnim semua(the other cucus yang manja dengan atuk i) Nenek pun adruce akan jaga baik2. Ish, atuk ni. Tulah, Makan manis2 lagi. Orang dah kata dah. Kitaorg semua sayang dekat atuk. Adruce pun sayang. Banyak NI(then i tunjuk how big i loved him. haha) Atuk rehat okay? bila2 atuk nak bangun. Adruce akan ada kat sini."
He grasp my hand as tight as he could. Not wanting me to leave. I didn't. I stood by him the entire day. And now he is slowly recovering alhamdulilah. And he might wake up anytime now. Im so grateful for this. Esok pagi2 lagi i nak pergi hospital. Till then guys, Goodnight.
