Pakcik Pin's wife was the sibling of Nik's grandma.Both had passed on now.Pakcik Pin was a bus driver and has 12 kids tak silap.Semua berjaya: jadi lawyer, banker, etc.Berkatnya gaji Pakcik Pin.After Mama died, jarang dah kita semua berkumpul so this long break, Pakcik Pin suruh anak dia panggil semua suku sakat to a tahlil held at his youngest son's in Bangi.So kita pun berkonvoi.
We saw a marquee in the new housing area.. Nik told us to go first while he looked for a parking space.I kepalai rombongan and went looking for the hostess.I don't knw anak2 Pakcik Pin ni semuanya..maklum 12 org..one lady came up and salam.I said dah siap ke tahlilnya.She said yes, pagi tadi buatnya (terdetik juga hati I..jemput ptg..apa psl dah siap pagi). I pun hulur the fruits we brought for Pakcik Pin.No sign of him or anyone I knew.So I asked mana Pakcik Pinnya? The lady said Pakcik Pin? Kat sini takda nama mcm tu.Then she gasped.Ohhh..salah rumah ni..ada satu lagi kenduri at the other side (she hulor balik the buah). If you were me, where would you run and hide your face? I said so sorry (di luar..kak yah dah beratur pegang pinggan!). The lady was so graceful..she said mknlah dulu..I said oh takpa...nanti saya ada satu lagi wedding nak pergi.As I walked past a group of men, staring and I heard them laughing...rasa kalau boleh terbang lagi bagus!
When we finally found the house, belum sempat masuk, Nik dah buka cerita and Pakcik Pin giggled away and his sons laughed mcm nak rak.Hadoi.
Then we rushed to attend anak Manja & Rita kawin at One City.I dah tak larat nak mkn so just had the bubur kacang which they tersilap letak garam ingatkan gula, I'm sure.Met Ton who reminded me of a book project long gone.I said kena reschedule and Suhaimi kena monitor balik timeframe.I need to get two of my books out..dah siap..final touches je.Then I can revisit book project ni.
And now, I'm putting a do not disturb me signage.I owe Dewan Sastera an article.
