The last time I met her was Hari Raya Puase tahun lepas, itu pun it was a lucky coincidence dat hubby suddenly agreed to balik Kedah 1st then baru balik KL n raya kat Puchong. He agreed pun only when I proposed us to go back 2 hari sblm 1 syawal, then balik KL on the evening of 1st Raya, before dat masing2 xnk kalah...maklum jela, 1st time berhari raya as wedded couple. It was kinda hard for both of us to accept d fact beraye without family by our side...
Nevertheless, I quite regretted for not being my persistent self when we were negotiating about celebrating Hari Raya AidilAdha last December as I gave up d discussion on the basis of Hubby buat Qurban kt Kinrara tahun ni, if not, last Hari Raya Aidilfitri would not be my last union with arwah Tok... (T_T)
Tok dh sakit for a few weeks, but I didnt visit her coz dh sarat now, I'm already 8 months by now..nk travel pn mama x bagi..So bertanye kabar from Ayah n Mama je all dis while until dis morning, when Mama called me saying, "If u wanna see Tok for d last time, I think u better book a flight to Kedah dis weekend..kalau x i takut xsempat..."
I, yg sememangnye mmg lebih berat nk pegi tgk Tok, terus book d 1st flight for d 2 of us tomorrow morning xkisahla tiket mahal ke x..Hubby during lunchtime, terus drove to An-Nur to collect my gynae's approval letter for air travelling of which he has to wait for 2 hours n skipped his lunch plus terpakse solat Jumaat at Masjid Bangi pdhal I've called them very early in the morning to prepare for the letter and told them hubby is coming lunchtime for collection (An-Nur is extremely slow in service, they really have to improve on this)
Malangnye, dat evening, while we were about to have our early dinner at Chili's KLCC, I received a call from Mama saying Tok baru meninggal at 7.20pm, innalillahiwainnailaihirrojiunn...mase tu makanan pn xsampai lagi, I cried through d whole dinner. My Mushroom Fajitas was hardly touched, even Hubby is having a hard time swallowing his Lamb Shoulder seeing me crying non-stop..I felt so regretted, kenape la aku x berkeras nk balik Raya Haji..suddenly I felt dat I really miss her, and I'm gonna miss her forever. ..
Called Adam, he wanted to come back home too..suggested him to take tonight's bus to KL and book the same flight ticket with us tomorrow morning online right away. He did so and his bus is to arrive in Pudu at 4a.m tomorrow morning.

As planned, Adam called us at 4a.m informing his arrival, hubby xnk mandi, but I chose to take a bath 1st sbb dis late pregnancy I'm experiencing rase kepanasan yg amat coz baby has also produced his own body heat. So my body heat + baby's body heat = 1 super hot mama. We drove to KL to fetch Adam, then drove straight to LCTT. Arrived just in time in LCCT for the check-in, dpt pulak mamat check-in counter yg tersgt la sengal, ade ke die nk amik my original copy of doctor's letter n xnk watkan a photocopy for me? ade ke die ckp sepatutnye doktor kene tulis 2 referral letter for pegi n balik? 2 original copy??? die igt gynaes xde keje lain ke nk buat selain tulis surat chenta utk airlines? Tahan die suruh mak buyong yg dh in her 33 weeks pregnancy dgn perut besar nye berjalan satu LCCT pdhal rupenye kt counter selang beberapa counter dr counter die tu ade photostat machine utk photostat mende2 formal mcm my surat doktor.. To my surprise, I was so calm at d moment, maybe I was too pre-occupied dgn kesedihan psl tok kot...so I was not being my alert and impulsive self, ikut je ape die suruh tanpa byk soal. Sampai keras2 perut contraction n rase kepala baby dh nk terkeluar dh berjalan satu LCCT...hubby pn bengang gler..yela, bini die yg dianiaya...isk, sabar je la aku, esok bini mangkuk tu mengandung org buat mcm tu kt bini die baru die tau...beria2 die nk simpan my original copy n ckp kene wat copy sendiri utk bagi kt atas plane and mase check boarding pass...hmmmmm sorang airasia personnel pn xde yg mintak......
Following d mishap with the check-in counter, I said to hubby dat my instinct says something bad is going to happen and we won't make it on time for the funeral. He assured me that it was just my wild imagination. In the plane, hubby dozed off out of exhaustion, poor baby...But I can't sleep a wink, kept on thinking of arwah Tok and regretting for not visiting her for quite a long time, so instead I recite surah Yassin throughout d journey for arwah Tok. As guessed, when the plane was about to land and paddy fields are already visible in close proximity, suddenly the intercom went on. The pilot informed us that the plane couldn't touchdown at the moment due to mist covering the runway and visibility is only 500m, we were to land at Penang Airport and wait till the mist is reported thinning by Alor Star Control Tower. I burst to tears hearing the bad news, and chanting.."I told u soo, I told u soo...I know this is gonna happen.." to hubby. He comforted me and looked so worried..I felt sooo miserable, felt it was a way Allah is punishing me for not seeing arwah Tok for such a long time, now she's gone, I can't still see her no matter how hard I try to make it on time to see her for d last time..i felt cursed.
As soon as the plane touched down in Penang International Airport, hubby and Adam rushed to the cockpit trying to talk things over with the pilot, persuading him not to delay time as we were rushing for a funeral. We were lucky dat the mist did not stay for long. Half an hour later the plane was already ready for take off to Alor Star. We arrived at Alor Star Airport at about 10.30a.m, rushed to the taxi stand. The taxi driver was very kind to drive like crazy and to go by the highway instead of jalan kampung especially when he saw me crying, he looked so concern. When we arrived at Tok's house, relatives have just finished mandikan jenazah..I know deep inside ayah was in grieve and he's among d most affected but Ayah seemed so composed and calm until when pengurus jenazah was about to close Tok's face with kain kapan, I saw dat Ayah couldn't hide his sadness any longer...ayah nampak hiba and sayu sgt, mata ayah start berkaca2 and i saw tears rolling down his cheek. sedih sgt tgk ayah macam tu, Ayah seorang anak yg sgt soleh...xpenah lg jumpe org yg betul2 menatang mak die bagai minyak yang penuh..Tok mintak ape semua dapat..klu ayah xde duit, ayah akan usahakan jugak..janji Tok happy..dulu mase ayah stationed in Korea for LNG projects for 2 years and a half, everytime he got a call from Ngah saying dat Tok is sick, he will immediately be on the 1st plane to Malaysia. Bukan skali, tapi banyak kali...Pdhal Incheon Airport is 5 hours away from our house in Geoje Island. Sampai kn his friends cakap Haji Razak balik tgk mak die macam mak die duduk satu taman je...Ayah selalu ckp, org perempuan kalau dah kawin, kene utamakan suami baru mak ayah...tapi org lelaki, klu dh kawin skalipun mak tetap yg pertama, kedua mak, ketiga mak, keempat baru ayah...seterusnye baru la wife...
I was soo relieved to get the chance to pay my last respect to my beloved Tok. Poor Kakngah..she's so far away and was in grieve alone in Korea...I followed my family to the cemetery for the burial of arwah Tok...semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat, Al-Fatihah...
