My cousin-in law, called at 1130 today....that his mum, whom i addressed as
Mak Lang, passed away Monday night at 1030pm.
shocked !!
Mak Lang had been diagnosed with leukemia, and had been hospitalised since
last Syawal. I didnt know that...
Early April, he called to inform that his mum (Mak Lang) had been discharged from
Hospital Ampang after being treated for about 2 months.
2 days later, on saturday i drove to Mak Lang's apartment in Sri Rampai.
spent some good time there...
she doesn't look sick at all
cheerful...as always
she made some jemput-jemput pisang (banana fritters) and kopi-O
served me... we had mother-daughter talk, full of laughter
alongwith advice
whilst there, i apologised to Mak Lang that i didn't inform her of my
hajj pilgrimage in Nov 2009... though i visited her abt a month before
my departure
i'd gone to the Immigration Dept applying for my passport
since i was in her neighbourhood, i thought i should say 'hi' to her
at that time, my status for hajj is on standby
even my parents do not know about it yet
Mak Lang
we both knew why its inappropriate for us to meet often
but i am glad, i made that visit last April
we plan to meet again, maybe in few months time
but Allah swt, has His plan
i don't regret..
i shall treasure the good times we had
the words of wisdom she shared
"mereka kaya cara mereka...
aku miskin cara aku, tak pernah meminta dari mereka"
...."they are rich, that's their life...
though i'm poor, i never ask anything from them"
"orang takut kalau tahu kita susah
kita selalu senyum, orang tak tahu kita ada masalah"
..."people have fear if they know we in difficulties...always smile
hence they thought we are fine"
Mak Lang, for a strongwill person
very humble
never show sadness
you are always fun to be with
a Mukminat, that even on hospital bed you recite the Al Quran
and also perform your solat-fardhu (mandatory) and solat-sunat (optional)
Mak Lang, may your soul rest in peace
be amongst the Good Believers
may Allah swt, The Most Merciful The Most Compassionate
forgive you
and accept you into Jannah Al Firdaus
Al Fatihah...
