Innalillah Wainnalillahirajiun

Allah yang maha besar lagi maha mengetahui. KepadaNya kita datang dan kepadaNya kita kembali.

I was introduced to a new friend at one of the classes during my matriculation year - a nice friendly looking-utagha-speaking girl. We went to a same Practicum (or was it called something else, I don't remember) and became friends since then. We were not that close of a friend, tapi cukuplah sekadar boleh bersembang gelak-gelak bergossip bersama. She was indeed a very nice and friendly girl.

Little that I know that she was a daughter to a very influenced man. She's not like any other rich girl who likes to show-off of their richness but indeed a very humble girl hence that explain why she loves to belanja most of her friends for a night stay at any of the 5 stars hotel in Penang - Batu Feringhi to be precised! Generous is her middle name. Memang tak lokek especially when it comes to money which also explain why most boys like to be her friends. But then I guess, she really doesn't care!

With the so-so kind of friendship I have with her, surprisingly, the friendship last still till today. We still communicate with each other through social network to update each other on our lives. Pernahlah sekali dua lepak bersama which was long time ago lepas tu just a normal hi! hi! bye! bye! via FB/Instagram.

What a small world we live in, I have friends who are also people within her circle of friends. So in a way, we still do keep in touch with each other through friends connection and lebih interestingly, she married to my husband's kawan sekampung which was also our friends back in Matriculation. 

Last week, a friend posted her wedding photo on Instagram with a comment of her condolence message to this friend of mine on the passing of her father. A shocking news for all of us as she has just hosted a grand Raya open house a week earlier and her father looked perfectly healthy. 

According to a friend, her father was on his trip to Jakarta when suddenly facing difficulty in breathing. He passed away in the ambulance while on his way to the hospital. 

Her father was known for his kindness, generous to most people and a father to most of her children's friends and for that, I believe, he will be missed by most people to knows him personally.

Her father's passing was really a shock to most people. Her father has no history of sickness and living a very healthy lifestyle. With the sudden demise, it is going to be tough to the family.

And it got me thinking.......

Ajal dan maut semuanya ketentuanNya and we never know when is our time. It could be now, it could be when we are old and weak to even move around, it could be when we are sleeping - semuanya rahsia tuhan. Muhasabah diri sangat bila kejadian yang serupa ini berlaku disekeliling kita.

To you my friend, anggaplah ini sebagai satu ujian untuk kita teruskan kehidupan. Please know that your father was a good man. Semoga rohnya dirahmati dan tergolong dalam golongan orang-orang yang beriman, Insya Allah. Al-fatihah.
