Friday, 2nd November 2007. 4 pm, Student Union Auditorium.
"Thank you for your attention." Dr Burton ended his talk today.
"Alhamdulillah". I whispered slowly. It was 4.pm, 1 hour exceeded from the real timetable. Anyway, It s fine.
"Korang, kita nak pergi ambil duit kat ATM la. korang balik dulu la," Arome told us.
"Ok," i replied.
Wani, macam mana nak buat Sup ayam?
Walking home together from the Student Union has again gave us precious time to talk about many things together. As usual, we were talking rather than chatting.
"Hari ni awak masak kan?" I asked atikah even though i known her answer already.
"Haah. kita ingat nak masak sup ayam la," she said. After a long pause, she asked, "Wani, macam mane nak buat sup ayam?'
"Oh senang je. Macam ni...."
After I have finished giving the recipe and the methods that I wished it will work on her ( because I don't really follow the recipe when I cook. I am like my mom. just "campak" the ingredients into the pan according my instinct. Really. Follow the Instinct- My cooking theory.),
she seemed look understand. Good. Before she went up stairs to her room, i wished her:
"Teaks, selamat memasak,".
Apsal senyap je ni?
" Isk.. mana la senior-senior medic ni. Tak online pun," I checked my Yahoo Messenger list.
"Macam- macam la soalan Histology ni," I started to murmur.
Sometimes, I asked my seniors the questions that i don't understand when doing my homework. on that evening, none of them online. maybe they were still in the hospital.
Sudenly, I wonder what atikah was doing. No noise at the kitchen. Really. I walked to the kitchen. It was qiuet. in deed.
" teaks, awak ok ke?" I asked her. No answer.
I went to our wet kitchen. I saw her. I stared at her face. She was frowning. I looked on the sink. There were maggi plastic covers.
" Eh, maggi?" I was speechless yet, my eyes staring clueless to her. She looked scared, I think.
" Mana sup ayam awak?"
" Sorry la. Rupa-rupanya ayam dah habis. Kita tak tau nak masak apa. Kita ingat nak masak maggi je," finally she said something.
Teaks, teaks. No wonder you look scared. She might feel guilty, I think.
" La..kenapa awak diam je. Panggil la kita. Bilik kita depan je tu teaks. Kesian awak," i said. I hope she won't feel down.
"Tak apa. Kita tolong awak la. Awak carry on je dengan maggi. Kita masak sayur," . I started chopping carrot .
"Tak pe ke makan maggi?" she asked, her voice was so slow.
"Rilek la teaks..tak da apa apa la. Jangan risau. Kitorang boleh je makan maggi. Nanti kita sambung kerja awak. kita masak sayur dulu. Dah nak masuk maghrib ni. Cuma lain kali, kalau ada problem, cakap dengan kita. jangan diam je. Ingat tu?"
Suddenly I felt guilty. Usually I was the one who buy raw food for our house. But I forget to tell her about the chicken. It was running out.
Sorry Teaks.
Complimentary BASE PAIRING.
That's my story. No, it is our story.
Me and atikah are like complimentary base pairing. I might be a little bit better than her at house work( i think so, don't you, teaks?), but I am quite lousy at certain things. Or..many things.
My new handphone and line....she was the one who helped me with payment procedures, to consult with the shop people, to activate my account..etc..
Lecture ...she is a good listener. At home, she is the one who explain the things that I don't understand. She have a marvelous ILA group discussion, excellent ILA notes and diagram..she shared with me. THANK YOU.
Time management? I think i win this time. I might be consistent with my daily life activities. I jot down everything in my planner. maybe she does too..but perhaps, I jot them clearer than her. hehe..why i am so sure? read these scenarios:
1. "Teaks, nanti pukul 5 kita bersiap eh?"
"Eh, pukul 5? nak pergi mana?"
"Eh, mak cik sorang ni. kan kita ade meeting NEXT?"
"Oh ..ha ah la..hehehheh"
2. "Teaks, jap lagi teman kita singgah kat Medical school reception. Nak hantar borang agreement ni"
"Eh, ada kena hantar apa-apa ke?"
"Eh, mak cik sorang ni..semalam ambil handbook purple tu, tak baca lagi ke? kan die suruh hantar borang kat belakang sekali tu?"
"Oh ye ke?..hehhehe" .....
But..what ever things happen, it is ok. ACCEPT EACH OTHER.
YES. WE ARE ACCEPTING EACH OTHER.
KASIH SAYANG.
Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik, radiyallahu 'anhu, who was the servant of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:
"None of you truly believes (in Allah and in His religion) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"
I thank to Allah for granting me millions of NIKMAT.
I thank to Allah for granting me Iman, islam. And LOVE.
I thank to Allah for granting me people who LOVE me.
I thank to Allah for granting me people that I LOVE.
This is ISLAM.
ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT LOVE
ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT PEACE.
wallahualam.
