Ask me questions!

Adik will always miss you.
7 minggu bukanlah satu tempoh masa yang lama. Bukannya juga aku tak pernah tidak pulang ke rumah selama ini. Tapi kali ini berbeza. Kalau dulu, aku akan beriya-iya nak pulang. Sebulan tak balik je dah mula rindu. Taklah sampai homesick, cuma perasaan tak sabar nak balik tu memang kuat.
Dulu, hari-hari mesti bercakap dengan emak. Telefon je pun, bukan lama mana pun. Kadang-kadang 5 minit dah cukup, sekadar bertanya buat apa je. Emak mesti tanya, "Adik nak balik bila?". Dan setiap kali aku pulang ke rumah, emak mesti sentiasa telefon untuk tahu dimana aku. Mestilah, nasihat jangan bawa kereta laju-laju, kalau mengantuk tidur dulu dan lain-lain mesti ada. Walaupun aku tak pernah anggap nasihat-nasihat tersebut sebagai annoying, tetapi aku juga tak pernah betul-betul menghargai nasihat tersebut.
Harini, tiada yang menelefon bertanyakan tentang perjalanan pulang. Sepi.
Bukannya aku dan ahli keluarga lain berlaga angin ke apa, cumanya kitorang tak serapat macam aku dengan emak.Macam aku cakap, kalau sebelum ni, sebulan tak balik pun dah rindu. Sekarang, 7 minggu bagaikan tiada beza. Malah, entah kenapa aku rasa nervous pula.
Since you're not here, everything feels so different. Home is never as sweet as before. I miss you so much.

Contacted Inchik S
I need to write this sebab aku sedar yang aku ni cepat lupa. Kadang-kadang bila tengok balik post-post lama aku, aku macam, "Eh, ni ke yang jadi dulu? La, lupa dah aku".
So I contacted Inchik S. Yeah, whatever. Mesej dia sekejap je. Basically I knew he was in Putrajaya from a mutual friend. Tapi aku pura-pura la tak tahu, nak bagi dia mengaku sendiri. He did, cumanya, dia rupanya sekarang dia dah tukar kat Setapak, KL. Dekat gila dengan aku. Siapa tak rindu kan? Teringin nak jumpa kot. Aku tunggu je dia ajak lepak ke apa, tapi hampeh. Langsung tak makan hint.
Aku tak tahu la aku dah move on ke tak, tapi yang aku tahu kalau aku belum move on, I will!
Sebab dah lama tak jumpa atau mesej dia, aku sekarang terperasaan a few things yang aku tak sedar waktu aku gila-gilakan dia. He's simple minded and full of negativity. Every sentence he wrote, hhmmmm. Aku taknak kutuk dia, dan aku pun tak suka untuk benci orang. Aku ambil ni sebagai a sign yang he's not for me because of this attitude.
Harap-harap tak melekat balik.

If I only have a day to live, what would I do?
To be forced with just one more day to live is certainly unfair. There are many things still uncheck from my to-do-list. A lot of knowledge to be learned, debts to be paid, adventures to be conquered and love to be cherished. Yet, if I have to choose, I would choose not among all of the things I have listed. Instead, I choose to live as myself because for me that is the happiest thing I could ever wish for.
To start off, I would tell everyone I love, "I love you", regardless of who they are. Because these people could be my parents, siblings, friends, a silly crush or even a total stranger. Hey, why not? At least I can express myself freely. At least I would not regret for not even trying. Who knows, maybe just my luck someone I confessed accept my confession. Finger crossed. He or she too might have been dreading to tell me his love and when I confessed, both of our dreams come true. A lovely happy ending, right? I hope so. Or maybe Inchik S would even suddenly come out. HAHAHA.
Next, I would write a letter of apology, or maybe just a message to everyone I know regardless I have or have not done anything wrong to them. One thing I do not like in my life is for people to be mad at me. So, I need to apologize. We are not living in this world alone. Sometimes, the things we did might hurt others without us knowing it. There is no harm in apologizing, just do it.
Apart from that, I would want to spend as much time as I could with the people I love especially my family and close friends. Let us have a good last laugh together. I want our happy moment to be their last memory of me. I want them to know how much I love and appreciate them. I want to thank them for all the things they have done for me and all the the time they have spent with me. I really want them to know I appreciate them so damn much. I do not want any of them to feel any regret for not doing the best they could, because they actually did. I do not want them to cry when I am gone because I believe this departure is temporary, there will be time where we will meet again, if God permits. I will always pray for the best for everyone.
People might wonder, don't I have anything physical that I want to do. Of course I have. But let's be real, in the span on one day, it is almost impossible to accomplish everything. I will just settle with living with no bad feelings towards other people and most importantly, be surrounded with the people I love. That alone would be a beautiful ending. Cheers.

Opinion Based: The unspoken culture of being a man
But going back to that random guy's confession, why did he confessed that? I think I could understand his position. It is widely accepted, or at least known, that men watch porn. Hence, the bias statement implying to all men (hasty generalization).
This for me, or at least I think, is a shared culture of the world about men. We watch porn. Hey, it's not okay but we watch it nonetheless. Why? Maybe because men are curious creatures. Everyone knows that, but no one does anything. Well, the ustaz ustazah will of course say something, hati jadi hitam etc. but that's the most they could do. In the end, it's up to oneself.
This culture is unspoken. We know it but we ignore it (some of us). But hear this, not all men watch porn, even once. Maybe the confessor mixed only with the typical men watch porn people. He just has not found that one man angel yet.
Is not it sad that men who watch porn are typical while men who do not are rare? Hmmmm, the harsh reality of the world we are living in today people.

What will the future brings us?
I can't say whether I am coping things well, or I just do not have the time to think what have I done. Becoming an important person in volunteerism takes me away from my own problems. There are people's problem that I have to worry more.
But I wonder, what will happen to my relationship, between Inchik S and me Are we going to be friends again? Or will he be mad at me? Or will we stay silence forever? I am not sure.
I hope one fine day, I could text him to lepak-lepak again, like how we used to. I know dreams do not often become true, especially in my case, but there is no harm in hoping. Hope is what makes us alive after all. So, I hope my hope does not stay as hope.

Mesej terakhir
"Dekat stesen Kg Baru."
"Apa?"
"Dang Wangi."
"Oh, nak balik dah ke? Weh.
Aku nak sampaikan kepada kau sesuatu.
Kau ni baik sangat. Sampaikan tak nak reject aku terang-terang. Tapi sebab tu aku mungkin lagi sakit hati kot? Aku rasa macam orang bodoh sangat. Berharap kepada orang yang tak nak dekat aku pun.
Mula-mula aku nak minta maaf sebab ganggu hidup kau macam orang gila Biasa la, orang yang suka kat seseorang memang macam ni.
Aku rasa aku perlu berhenti dari ganggu kau lagi. Sebab bila aku buat macam tu, bukan kau je annoyed, tapi aku sendiri pun sama. Aku dah penat berharap, dah penat menangis, dah penat sangat weh. Kalau aku terus contact kau, aku sendiri yang tertipu, beri harapan palsu kepada diri sendiri.
Jadi, aku nak sampaikan yang aku nak berhenti dari terus contact kau. Either kita jumpa ke, facebook, instagram, twitter whatsapp, semualah. Aku kena berhenti.
Dah lama sebenarnya aku fikir pasal ni. Kalau aku teruskan buat macam ni, mesti aku akan lost contact dengan kawan-kawan kita yang lain jugak. Tapi nak buat macam mana lagi, aku dah penat weh.
Aku tahu kau bukan kisah pun. Mesti kau rasa benda kecil je kan? Tapi bagi aku ni perkara besar. Jadi aku nak minta maaf kalau ada salah dan silap, halalkan makan dan minum aku. Aku akan block whatsapp, facebook, instagram dan twitter untuk mengelakkan aku dari terus contact kau, dari terus teringatkan kau.
Kalau kau ada jodoh dengan awek kau, jemputlah aku. Haha, insyaAllah waktu tu aku dah move on.
Aku bukan taknak kawan, aku cuma nak ruang untuk relax kejap. Maaf."
Entah kenapa, terketar-ketar tangan ini mahu menekan butang "BLOCK". Satu badan jadi kaku, sejuk. I'm not feeling well. I just want to sleep. Goodbye everyone.

He just can't be mean
Finally, I had an alone time with Inchik S. We went for coffee and just talked. Career, life, his girlfriend and other stuffs.
I asked him, why can't he be mean? Just say that he doesn't want me to like him, want me to stop this feeling I'm having but he didn't say it. I asked again, why can't he be mean? He just smile and we ended talking about something else.
I did say I hate him, for not stopping me from liking him. For being so nice to me. For treating a friend like a soul mate. He ignored my hatred and gave me his foolishly cute smile. I hate him for doing that, I seriously hate to hate him.
I told him I about the existence this blog. How my readers found our stories were amazing, sad and frustrating. How people want to know me because of him. He was interested, but he chose not to know. Some things better be untold, he said.
Nevertheless, I'm happy we had the conversation.
Our serious conversation were triggered from a personality test we did. We were amazed by how accurate the result are, and I actually got to see his personality on paper. I feel like I could understand him better now. It is interesting how a simple test could know us so much. And how we ourselves were amazed by the accuracy of it. You guys should try it too.
http://www.16personalities.com/
Inchik S is an ADVOCATE, an INFJ person. While me is an ADVENTURER, an ISFP person. Take the test and see how accurate the results are.

Berbagi cinta
Aku sentiasa ada satu pegangan, tidak menceritakan mimpi aku kepada orang lain terutamanya mimpi buruk. Tapi malam semalam, aku tak tahu sama ada ianya mimpu buruk atau sekadar mimpi. Yang pasti, ianya bukanlah enak.
Saat terjaga dari lena, aku sedang menangis, tersedu-sedan malah. Aku termimpikan saat aku menyimpan arwah Emak kembali ke tempat asal manusia. Memang sedih yang amat.
Sebenarnya, aku selalu rasa bersalah kerana terlalu memikirkan Inchik S lebih dari arwah Emak. Lagi-lagi semalam, perasaan suka dan bersalah itu bercampur baur. Walaupun Emak sentiasa aku fikirkan, Inchik S juga tak lekang dari fikiran. Nah, malam tadi membuktikan betapa aku tertekan dengan perasaan sendiri.
Manusia itu sayang banyak sekali. Mungkin sampai boleh berbagi-bagi, mungkin. I love them both, I truly am.
It is never easy.
All the back seats were occupied,so he sat in the middle while I was at his right. After we dropped our friend who was sitting at the back with us, he didn't move. He sat still at with my arm linked with his. Heaven!
Moving on is never easy. But I know, and I remember this, love does not mean we should or could be together because love sometimes hurts.
Oh, aku baru pulang dari Medan sebenarnya. Coincidentally my driver there said this, cinta itu ibarat kentut. Kalau ditahan, sakit. Kalau dilepas, ribut. It's always calm after a storm, I hope.

Amputated
"Didn't you read my whatsapp?"
"Nope, I was asleep and woke up thanks to you."
"Farid got into an accident. His leg was amputated."
I had no response to that, dumbfounded I was. In a blink of an eye, a pass of a second, a person's life change.
"I don't know, man. I have no words for him except how sorry and bad I am for him. The sympathy we feel is not the same as the burden he is carrying. Really."
We ended our call and continue to chat through whatsapp messenger.
I was worried. Inchik S also goes to work riding his motorcycle. He lives in the mainland of Penang commuting everyday, crossing the bridge to get to his bank where he works at the Island part of Penang. It is indeed very far. Even before I came back to KL, he was telling me how he almost got into an accident.
"Please be extra careful. Buy a car, please. It's not that you couldn't afford it."
"Haha, if things are meant to happen, it happens."
"Amboi, senangnya cakap. Benda tak jadi kat hang boleh la."
I was furious of course. He didn't know. He never felt the pain of being sick, of taking care of sick people, of being unable to be true to oneself, of being not good enough. He is oblivious.
I could only wish Farid to be healthy again, to not lose hope and have faith. There is always a silver lining behind every cloud. I wish Inchik S the same too.

Where has my heart gone missing?
I used to call home everyday, if not every two days. Just saying 'hi', changing updates and more. I used to call home very frequently.
Home is not anymore the place I eagerly want to go back to. There is a family waiting for me, but the feeling is not the same anymore because my heart has gone missing.
I had no one to call me at midnight, asking my whereabouts. I had no one to worry for me, to ask about my health, to cook my favourite food. I had no more sweet voice that would heal me even by just listening to it. No more favourite smell that I would get from kissing her hands or her face. No one to constantly ask me when will I be coming home.
I feel a bit lonely. I miss you.

I sleep walked
Al-kisahnya, dulu aku stay asrama. Waktu tingkatan 4, aku sebilik dengan seorang senior setahun tua dari aku. Athletic, badan ber'pack-pack'lah jugak. Sedap mata memandang, tapi waktu dulu-dulu mana aku pandai nak crush-crush bagai ni. Tak pernah.
Nak dijadikan cerita, zaman persekolahan adalah zaman di mana aku mula SLEEP WALKING. Dan senior kacak ni pernah HAMPIR jadi mangsa aku yang sleep walk dan horny! Serious shit aku cakap. One fucking horny night, aku terjaga atas katil senior ni, baring sebelah dia sambil pegang bahu. Aku terjaga, lucky me! Semuanya disebabkan badan dia yang basah sebab baru lepas mandi.
Sebaik tersedar terus aku tanya dia, "Macam mana aku boleh tidur sini?". "Kau datang kat aku kot." Maka aku berlalu pergi ke katil aku dengan perasaan hairan dan awkward. (Ouh, katil kitorang sebelah-sebelah je)
Zaman asasi pulak, ada dua kali jugak kawan aku pernah cerita kat aku yang aku sleep walk.
First, ada roommate aku balik bilik lewat dan dia tak bawak kunci. Aku bangun esok pagi tengok-tengok dia kat atas katil tengah terlentok baik punya. Aku tanya la, "Kau masuk macam mana?". "Kau la bukak pintu untuk aku. Lepas tu kau terus tidur." Ketawa awkward dan buat tak tahu je aku lepas tu.
Second, another roommate yang belum tidur lagi beritahu patung aku jatuh dari katil aku ke lantai (aku tidur bunker atas, double decker bed). Then aku turun and ambil patung tu, pegang and pergi ke tingkap dan terus tenung luar macam orang kena rasuk. Dia yang bunker bawah aku je hairan gila.
Lepas tu dia cakap, boleh pulak aku pergi tengok sorang-sorang roommate aku, including dia. Mata aku terpejam je dia cakap. Dia kata dia takut dengan dua kemungkinan, 1) aku kena rasuk 2) aku nak rogol dia (babi!). Aku dengar pon meremang bulu roma kot. Lepas je aku pegi tenung sorang-sorang, aku sambung tidur macam tak ada apa-apa yang berlaku. Maka esoknya berceritalah dia kat aku pasal apa yang jadi malam tu.
Sebenarnya adalah lagi kejadian lain yang membuatkan aku tahu aku sleep walk based on orang cerita and a few incidents yang aku macam ragu-ragu bila bangun tidur.
Alhamdulillah, aku rasa sekarang aku dah tak sleep walk dah kot. Sebab aku dah tak suppress anything dah., I'm an open book and I'm happy. There are no solid proves why orang sleep walk, but ever since I overcome my depression, I'm doing finelah.
So, yeah. Itu je nak cerita. Thanks Nov sebab ingatkan aku kisah sleep walking aku ni. LOL.

Memories
Thank you Emak for the 23 years of my life which you had given me through your sacrifices. I will cherish our memories and your love, forever. The love shall never halt, even if my time stops.

..23..
However, I must be honest, semalam when my friends and I went for dinner, tiba-tiba semua macam nak pergi clubbing. So, we did. Haha.
We set our way to Market Place but sadly the place was not operating as a club last night, it was just a fancy boring bar. By the way, I've only been clubbing once, okay. Since we have no other options, kitorang pergi la Blue Boy. It was my first time. The place is lousy, dirty, at a back of an alley, banyak tikus and lipas. Dan yang paling penting, banyak gila pondan. Ada pulak drag show last night, lagi lah. I was just uncomfortable, it's not because I don't like pondan yer, it's because of the condition of the place. Nothing fancy, all in all, it looks cheap. Sangat-sangat berbeza dengan Market Place.
I swear I will not go there anymore. Kot, hahaha.
Mind you eh, aku tak minum alcoholic drinks. Aku went for the ambiance and music, hence, dancing. Yeah, one good thing about Blue Boy is that the songs are okay lah.
Lepas habis clubbing, kitorang g Q-Bistro or something in Cheras. My friend said it's a place where gays go to eat. Sebab tu lah aku nak pergi. I just want to explore things last night.
Arrived there and realised the customers were the same faces we met dekat Blue Boy, LOL.
Lepas tu pergi pula Taman Tasik Permaisuri since dah dekat and I really wanted to see the infamous 'gay tasik'. I saw pondan-pondan cari customers and then brave guys looking for casual sex. Kitorang just parked our car, tak keluar pun. Then ada this one pak cik datang tepi kereta kitorang and tunggu, signing us yang dia nak action. Gosh, scary. We just want to see, keluar kereta pun tak kot. So, we ignored him.
Then lepas pak cik tu blah, ada another car parked beside us. Mamat tu bajet-bajet hisap rokok, padahal cari batang. Haha.
That was it. My first experiences of a lot of things. The night was interesting la nevertheless. It was a revelation. I won't be doing the things those guys did, it's just I need to know how and why they did it.
Hold our judgement if we know nothing. In fact, keep the judging to ourself only.
Anyway, Happy 23rd Birthday to me.

"Nanti dah kerja nak beli rumah. Bagi mak ayah duduk rumah besar sikit."
"Nanti kerja nak beli kereta mahal. Bagi mak ayah merasa naik kereta mewah."
"Nanti ada duit nak beli jubah untuk mak pakai, mesti lawa."
"Nanti nak beli bag kulit tu dekat ayah. Selalu cakap nak, tapi tak ada duit nak beli."
Angan-angan yang besar. Nak itu dan ini. Semuanya 'nanti'.
Dan 'nanti' itu sudah terlepas, terlambat.
Sekarang, sekadar apa yang aku mampu, aku akan terus buat. Aku tak nak lagi berlengah. You never know when will be the last you'll see your parents, your family members. I learnt my lesson. I appreciate what I have right now.
"Duit tu boleh cari, kebahagiaan tak."
p/s: Nak belikan ayah handphone baru secara online tapi pembayaran secara FPX tak termasuk Bank Islam punya internet banking. Pissed off gila tadi. Haih, terpaksa beli phone lain.

Reasoning and faith in God
These words of Allah, He wants us to think, think for ourselves, use our aqal and reason.
In yesterday's class, my lecturer taught us about a poet, Marmaduke Pickthall, which reverted to Islam and even translated the Qur'an. His writing was thoughtful and intriguing. Among the points I agree the most during the lecture was about the use of free thought/reasoning and faith in God, they are compatible.
The society argues that we most follow the Qur'an, Sunnah and Ulama'. Yes, I agree with that. But the thing I disagree is that they want us to blindly follow without a room to discuss other possibilities of solutions we might come out with.
Qur'an is very general, so Sunnah is there to explain it. However, as time passes, a lot of new things happen, changes occur. Hence, there are things that we need to think of our own solution but still based on these two sources of knowledge. I agree with that. And Ulama' are the one responsible to think of Islamic solutions to un-Islamic things.
Now, are not Ulama' humans? Their decision, are not they based on reasoning and faith in God to come out with fatwas?
Understand me, I'm not against Ulama', I'm just against people who want us to follow Ulama' blindly without giving a chance for us to reason ourselves. Yes, we might not be as knowledgeable as the Ulama', but in the end, who's going to put us through hell and heaven? Ulama' is it? NO!
"Wei, mana boleh kau buat macam ni! Ustaz XXX dah cakap yang ni salah. Kita kena ikut ustaz ni cakap!"
Everybody has different situations, one rule cannot be applied to everyone. We always say that Islam is a religion of peace, Islam does not burden its followers, then why are you burdening Muslims with your man-made rules?
No, I'm not against Ulama'. Again, I'm against people who force others to practice blind imitation.
Reasoning and faith in God is compatible, they blend.

Life is full of shits.
"God only gives you test you can bear."
"There's a hikmah behind these test."
"Patience is virtue."
and more.
I know not how much longer can I stand begging my own self to believe everything will be alright at the end of the day.
Incidents one after another, misfortunes and more.
When will happiness finally come?
I starting to lose my faith with whatever is beyond my logic.
Life is full of shits.

He said it, finally.
There, he finally said it.
Walaupun aku tak faham sangat dengan "bila masa nak on" tu, I perceived it as:
"move on la bitch, I don't like you but I'm not gonna say it straight forward because we have been friends kot".
I'll try, I will.

Friendzone
I am glad I was able to express my feeling for him. And I am also glad he could take it well. We are not in any way awkward to still text each other. I couldn't say I'm sure he really understood my confession, but at least I confessed without being subtle, satirical, behind the bush or whatever terms you could name it. I was honest and straight to the point.
Maybe it's time for me to move on, to look forwards of my endeavors. Maybe, I don't know. Let time and fate show me my way.
The internet people say my situation is called 'friendzone'.

Aku masih menunggu sepasang sandal merah
Aku pakai sandal merah yang emak belikan. Tak pernah aku terlintas untuk membeli yang baru kerana aku pegang janji emak. Mungkin sudah takdir, sandal itu adalah yang terakhir emak belikan untuk aku sebelum dia jatuh sakit.
Aku masih menunggu.
Tak pernah terlintas bahawa emak tidak akan sembuh. Harapan, itulah yang mendorong aku untuk percaya bahawa kami sekeluarga boleh melepasi ujian kali ini. Jika tahun 2013 dahulu Allah mendengar doa kami, tak mungkin Dia akan menolak doa ini agar emak sembuh kembali.
Aku masih menunggu.
Sudah dua minggu sejak pemergian emak. Aku percaya Allah itu ada rancangannya yang lebih baik dari yang kami doakan. Di dalam kelas tadi, Madam ada cakap, "Usually when the wife dies before her husband, she will go to heaven." Ameen, itulah sahajalah yang aku mampu untuk lakukan sekarang. Tiada jasa yang aku boleh lakukan lagi untuk emak melain dengan doa. Itu sahajalah yang aku upaya, namun tetap rasa tak pernah cukup.
Terkadang, air mata aku terkeluar jua. Mana mungkin aku lupa akan seorang wanita yang menatang aku bagai minyak yang penuh selama 23 tahun. Seorang wanita yang sentiasa tabah demi dua orang anaknya.
Aku masih menunggu, sepasang seliper baru menggantikan sandal merah aku.

A song for you
Strawberry
"Sat lagi adik pi beli nah."
Hampa harapan aku apabila Mydin Parit Buntar tidak menjual buah strawberry. Terus aku ke Jusco Alma, malangnya tetap tiada.
"Hello, kaklong. Sat lagi balik kerja singgah sat beli strawberry dekat Tesco Seberang Jaya. Adik cari merata tak jumpa."
Seusai kerja, kaklong terus menuju ke Tesco Seberang Jaya dan membawa pulang buah strawberry yang emak mahu. Mungkin terlalu teringin, emak berjaya memakan sehingga 4 biji strawberry. Ya, berjaya kerana sebelum ini sesuap nasi pun tak dapat emak mengunyah, apa lagi menelan.
Tapi seperti biasa, apa yang dimakan pasti akan diluah semula walau bukan kehendak emak. Malam itu, sakit emak makin teruk. Muntah sudahlah tidak berhenti, mengerang pula kesakitan. Kami hanya mampu melihat, langsung tak dapat membantu.
"Strawberry ni kecik. Mak nak yang besaq. Adik, bawak mak pi Cameron Highland. Mak nak makan strawberry."
"Tapi mak tak boleh jalan, macam mana nak pi?"
"Takpa, mak duduk ja dalam kereta."
28 Januari 2015
Hujung minggu yang sama, terus kami sekeluarga ke Cameron Highland. Sepanjang perjalan emak diam sahaja. Tapi, mungkin tuhan memberkati perjalanan kami, langsung emak tidak muntah atau cirit. Dari pagi hingga ke petang, emak berjaya menahan diri dari sebarang kesakitan. Sesampai saja di rumah, terus emak tidur. Lama tidurnya. Aku tahu, emak penat. Penat menahan sakit.
"Adik, mak seronok pi Cameron. Nanti mak nak pi lagi. Manis strawberry kat sana. Tapi tak besaq macam yang mak nak."
"Yang besaq-besaq kat Malaysia susah nak carik. Nanti mak sihat kita pi lagi nah."
22 Februari 2015
Jam menunjukkan pukul 4 petang. Sejam lagi aku akan bertolak pulang ke UIA Gombak.
"Mak, harini adik nak balik uni dah."
"Pukoi berapa?"
"Pukoi 5. La dah pukoi 4, lagi sejam adik balik."
"Balik cepat, jalan jam. Bawak kereta pelan-pelan. Duit ada tak?"
Aku terdiam, tak mampu menjawab soalan emak. Emak yang terbaring nazak masih lagi sempat merisaukan anaknya ini. Aku hanya berterusan menangis. Entah kenapa, senang benar air mata aku jatuh pada hari tersebut.
"Mak tak payah la risau pasai adik. Tak payah pikiaq pasai adik. Mak cuba makan tau lepas adik balik ni, bagi sihat balik, kuat," aku berkata sambil menangis teresak-esak.
Tangan emak yang kurus, yang tidak lagi berdaya digerakkan ke muka ku, aku sambut. Tangannya tidak aku lepaskan. Aku lihat emak juga seakan-akan menangis. Namun tiada air mata yang keluar. Yelah, mana mungking seseorang yang langsung tidak makan atau minum boleh lagi menghasilkan air mata. Aku menjadi makin sebak.
Sejam aku di sisi emak, menangis tak henti-henti.
"Mak, adik balik dulu tau. Adik minta maaf kat mak."
"Mak pun sama."
Lalu aku cium emak. Rupanya itulah kali terakhir aku dapat melihat emak bernyawa, kali terakhir aku dapat mencium emak semasa hayatnya.
24 Februari 2015
2.00 a.m.
"Hello CB, pak cik ni. Mak hang dah teruk ni. Sat pak cik pass telefon dekat ayah hang."
"Hello adik, mak teruk dah ni."
4.00 a.m.
"Hello CB, ada kat mana la?"
"Baru keluaq. La ni ada kat jalan Duta."
"Takpa-takpa, bawak kereta elok-elok."
5.10 a.m.
"Hello, adik, ada kat mana?"
"Baru lepas Ipoh."
"Nak bagitau ni, mak dah takdak. Adik jangan sedih nah. Bawak kereta elok-elok."
7.00 a.m.
Aku sampai kerumah tepat jam 7 pagi. Jenazah emak kelihatan tenang, bersih.
Alhamdulillah, urusan pengebumian emak berjalan-lancar. Ramai kenalan ahli keluarga kami yang datang melawat. Malah, segala bayaran untuk pegurusan jenazah dibayar menggunakan duit hadiah tetamu yang hadir melawat.
"Sebelum mak meninggal, mak tanya adik mana. Kaklong kata, tunggu la adik. Dia tengah balik tu. Kaklong tengok mak habis hayat. Kesian kat mak, tapi alhamdulillah sat ja, senang. "

I can't tell you stories anymore
Gossiping with you.
How I truly deeply miss you.
Adik sayang emak.
May Allah grant you Jannah.

Perspective
Aku sebenarnya banyak belajar dari prinsip-prinsip Abang Nu'man. How he handles life. Being a gay does not mean you cannot be a Muslim. I hold strong to that principle.
But I cannot deny, sometimes I am sad. How people like us have to sacrifice our love, to secretly love someone and even to secretly feel sad for not being able to love the person we love. It's hard.
A friend I just knew two days ago, we just came back from a concert which promotes volunteerism, said that if you noticed, religion aside, everything that we have to force ourselves to do are good things. Eating healthy, exercise or study need to be forced. End results of forcing is always good. True, for me.
Maybe, if maybe, these sadness we feel will bring us good, if not now, hereafter hopefully.
Ahhh, a new perspective I could venture to soothe this aching heart. A hurting heart from suppressing feelings deep inside.

Keluar jalan-jalan
Simple tak? Haha, macam yang aku selalu buat dengan Inchik S tapi aku teringin sangat nak keluar jalan-jalan dengan orang yang aku sayang. Tak nak pegang-pegang tangan semua, tipikal. Aku nak satu perhubungan yang malu-malu kucing. Keluar jalan-jalan sambil tangan bergeseran, senyum-senyum malu, ketawa sama-sama, makan bertentang mata. Ahhhhh...
Aku nak rasa perasaan sayang tu, yang tak perlu ditunjuk melalui fizikal, tapi aku tahu dia sayang aku dan dia tahu aku sayang dia. Tapi juga masing-masing malu.
Joging, mendaki dan berenang
Aku malas bersukan. Jadi aku nak dia ajak aku joging setiap petang.
"Jom joging.
Penat la baru balik kelas.
Jom la, nanti malam dapat peluk.
JOM!"
Aku suka daki bukit. Tak lah suka gila, cuma suka saja. Setakat ni baru dapat pergo Bukit Broga (tak mencabar langsung) and Bukit Tabur East (dua kali naik, tak pernah rasa tak seronok! Nak pergi lagi). Nak pergi dengan dia, naik sama-sama. Biar dia tengok aku penat tapi tak putus asa nak sampai puncak. Mana tahu kalau-kalau dia lagi tergoda tengok peluh aku, usaha aku, kan?
Berenang pulak aku tak pandai sangat. Tapi water is like my element! Suka gila! I can swim like forever. Aku suka sungai, laut, taman tema air, semualah. Janji tempat tu boleh berendam lama-lama. Aku nak main air dengan dia, berenang ke tempat dalam dan berenang lah. Kau nk buat apa lagi dalam air kalau tak berenang? Mati nanti sapa nak jawab?
Berpelukan
Okay, ni sebenarnya yang aku paling nak buat. On top of my wishlist tentang perkara yang aku akan lakukan bila dah berkasihan. Nak peluk time tidur, lama-lama. Nak rasa sentuhan dia, tidur dalam dakapan dia, bau badan dia or bau rambut dia. Hahaha, macam pervert but yes, this is what I always imagine if I really have someone I love. I don't really need anything else, even those two wishes mentioned above. Berpelukan adalah segalanya, tapi dalam bilik la.
No, I'm not horny. I just want love.
Peace out.

Make you feel my love by Adele
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I will never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

I don't understand straight men
That small bickering
"Update apa? Tak ada gambar menarik."
"Gambar datang KL haritu ada."
[tiada balasan]
Dengan hati yang sakit, aku membuka aplikasi Instagram dan melihat gambar-gambar di situ. Tiba-tiba aku terlihat sekeping gambar aku dan dia. Gambar kami ketika dia datang melawat tempoh hari. Caption, "Sekupang dua mintak halai."
Aku terus tersenyum.
[Selamat tahun baru 2015]
