Till I See You Again Nek..

The last time I visited her grave, it wasn't like this.. Now there're wild flowers blooming everywhere around her grave with insects roaming, bees & butterflies flying; hovering above those lovely flowers, searching for nectars..

I wept.. Her grave looks so very beautiful, just like a mini little flower garden.. I decided to snip off the unwanted weeds & let those nice smelling flowers be, so that they may be of benefit to the flora & fauna there..

Somehow, this heart of mine never stops reassuring me that Nenek is well taken care of on the other side & the deeds she did when she was still alive must have please Almighty Allah..

You see, I saw her jenazah smiling when I bathed her for the last time.. I dreamt of her smiling, wearing the most nicest robe & with a "noor" on her face.. She didn't say a word in that dream, she just looked, smiled & hugged me like she usually did.. I witnessed how she prayed 5 times a day even on days when she wasn't feeling very well.. I witnessed how she would always recite Surah Al-Kahfi & Yassin on Thursday nite & other Surahs frm the Al Quran even on any other days.. She would make sure that she completed the entire Juz frm the beginning of Ramadhan till the end & would happily give me a call just to update & encourage me to follow in her footsteps..

Memandangkan aku dijaga oleh Nenek dari bayi, jadi Nenek org pertama yg mengajar aku mengaji, solat & lain2.. She could transform herself frm being the most lovable Nenek who pampers her grandchild to a fierce one who could whoop your ass anytime with a thick long "rotan" as her sidekick whenever she's into her "Guru Ngaji" mode.. Dia kalau mengajar org ngaji tak mintak upah.. Dia mengajar ikhlas.. Aku tk rase zaman skrg ade lagi "Guru Ngaji" mcm ni.. Yg sanggop mengajar dgn ikhlas tanpa meminta bayaran satu sen pon..

"Solat Ly.. Ngaji sebrape bole.. Buat sesuatu hati kene ikhlas kerana Allah.. Sedekah sebrape kite mampu.. Nanti bile kite mati, ni lah yg akan tolong kite," she said while holding on to her Al Quran after praying & reciting a few Surahs with it..

I love you Nek.. Allah knows how much I miss you so very much.. And I hope to be just like you one day.. Till I see you again.. ❤
