Short yet, it rippled through my head... another friend received similar sms... Is this for real... we asked ourselves.
A bit shocking, then another friend called me up... asking about the same news. I silently prayed it wasn't real.. as much as I can do that... nothing can change the fact, how truthful that piece of info is.
She was asking whether I am going straight to Nana's house. I can't.... Call Duty.. I had a meeting arranged, by myself, in that afternoon. I told her I will go after work.
Meeting went on till 5.30 PM. I was very greatful the meeting ended. I wasn't paying much attention... The mentioned of my name during that meeting just sent me back to reality, and wrote down the task... my mind was elsewhere...
I went back to my desk hurriedly. My phone was dead... so much of technology. I went back home to change my clothes and performed Asar Prayer... While charging my phone, Cbah called and told me that Nana's father had been buried safely. A sigh of relief.
I tried to call her.. but there was no answer.
Minutes later she called me back... I didn't know what to say... I managed to say hi and asked how she was. She must be holding back tears.. I couldnt really listen to what she said. I told her I'll be coming for tahlil.
As much as it really pains us, especially on the demise of someone we loved... we've to accept the fact that... it's a cycle of life...
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
