Pak Tam is no more

My aruah sister's husband who we fondly call Pak Tam passed away on Wednesday around 4.30 am.Eishah, my youngest sister called me in the wee hours.She lives in Pekan, the closest to Pak Tam in Kuantan.

Nik tengah demam so after consulting with other sisters (we are all on WhatsApp), Kak Ngah and I decided to travel to Kuantan although jenazah will be brought back to Raub to be buried in the same graveyard as my sister.

We rushed and bila sampai, kejap tu mula bergerak (they were waiting for us sbb saudara mara from KL terus ke Raub which is closer to travel to).But Kak Ngah yg tak sempat breakfast (I too had little to eat) stopped nak cari batik to cover the jenazah carrier but tak jumpa.I looked for a restaurant to buy lunch for us both.Found it and we had lunch in the car.

When we arrived, jenazah dah masuk liang.Lucky we all sempat tengok in Kuantan.The jenazah was buried about 6 feet from my aruah sister dipisahkan hanya dgn dua kubur lain.Jodoh, rezeki, ajal dan tanah perkuburan adalah tentuan Allah and after 21 years, the two were laid next to each other.I am so humbled by this walhal kubur tu dah padat dan orang-orang baru meninggal semua ditanam in the other section (dipisahkan oleh sebatang jalan). My bro in law refused to remarry after the death of my sister who died in a car accident.Their kids were very young then, the youngest was barely 2.She graduated a few days before Pak Tam meninggal.Mungkin itulah doanya sepanjang hidupnya...agar dipanjangkan umur till the youngest berjaya masuk uni dll.

More later.

Mawar: terima kasih.Sedih baca fb message anak bongsu my sister (yg tak pernah kenal kadih ibu sbb ibunya meninggal waktu dia belum 2 tahun) Katanya dlm fb: bila ayah pergi ...amat terasa kerana dialah ayah, dialah ibu yg telah membesarkannya sehinnga tamat uni 4 hari sebelum ayahnya menyahut seruan Ilahi). Wajah jenazah amat muda dan bercahaya, mcm orang tidur.Semoga aruah ditempatkan di jannah bersama isterinya dan menjumpai kegembiraan yang lebih hakiki.
