Welcome 2008

Selamat Datang 2008.

After 2 weeks of 2008, barulah ada kesempatan nak update blog. A lot of things happened in 2008 even it just started for not even for 2 weeks. Itulah kenyataannya.

My Pak Ngah (Abdul Rani Mohd Nor) kembali ke rahmatullah pada 2nd January 2008 b'coz of lukemia. He was suffered for quite sometimes and sakitnya on off, on off. It started around 4-5 years ago and I was still working in SS 15 Subang Jaya that time. Masa tu, dia tak la seteruk mana, biasa ajer.

Actually, he just got to know about penyakitnya masa tu. Tapi yang sebenar-benarnya,... How should I start? Pak Ngah used to donate his blood and he keep receiving a letter from the Blood Bank, KL, asking him to come over to see them. But, Pak Ngah just ignored it. Not for a few months, but for a few years!!! Until one day, tak tahulah kenapa, suddenly hati dia terbuka nak pergi to see the people in Blood Bank after receiving a letter from them again (after donating his blood again and again).

Masa tu baru dapat tahu yang his blood ada jangkitan lukemia. Dia terperanjat sangat since all this while dia ok, tak sakit apa pun. Kalau nak diikutkan, my dad keluar masuk hospital lagi banyak kali masa tu... And, the Blood Bank asked his to go for check-up @ hospital.

Starting from that time, Pak Ngah mula keluar masuk hospital. Masa tu Pak Ngah still kerja dengan MAS, so dia admitted @ Sunway Hospital. Everything was fine. Masa tu, kalau visit Pak Ngah pun, dia still boleh makan macam-macam, boleh lepak kat lobby hospital sambil hisap rokok. Itulah Pak Ngah...

Bila dah start kimo, Pak Ngah started to look weak and weaker... Sakit datang on off, on off... Lama lepas tu, Pak Ngah nampak ok. After a few years, he still can survive...

Raya Aidilfitri 2007, Azimin & me was in Taiping till the 2nd raya. Third raya, Azimin left for British Invention Show in London,so we all tak sempat raya kat Puchong. Pak Ngah & Mak Ngah, and all relatives from my dad side datang rumah mama on the week itself. Ingat lagi masa tu, news about Azimin @ London keluar dalam The Star and Pak Ngah beria-ia baca...

Before Pak Ngah balik, dia cakap kat my dad,

"Along, hari Rabu depan doktor nak jumpa adik-beradik kita. Ada good news and bad news. Kau datang ye?"

My dad angguk, promised to go...

And lepas tu semua macam biasa. Pak Ngah still ok, macam biasa. Lepas Azimin balik dari London, lepas my dad & adik-beradiknya pergi jumpa doktor, Pak Ngah still ok. We went to Pak Ngah open house lagi...

Lepas a few weeks, Pak Ngah masuk hospital. On off, on off... macam biasa. Keluar masuk, keluar masuk... Kali nie dekat University Hospital, PJ. Banyak kali ayah & mama suruh aku pergi visit Pak Ngah tapi masa & keadaan tak mengizinkan. Macam-macam halangan. Bila time free nak pergi visit, Pak Ngah pulak dah keluar hospital.

The last week of 2007, Pak Ngah masuk hospital lagi. This time, barulah Azimin & me ada kesempatan nak pergi jumpa Pak Ngah kat hospital. Ya Allah, betul ke apa yang aku tengok? Pak Ngah betuk-betul kurus. Mungkin sebab ubat, Pak Ngah looks very weak. Tak lalu makan...

As a human, siapa saja yang tengok Pak Ngah masa tu, memang akan tersentuh hati. Sebelum balik, masa salam Pak Ngah, aku betul-betul sebak. Masa salam Mak Ngah, lagilah... Mak Ngah dah menangis masa peluk aku and bagitahu macam2...

Azimin suggested cuba bawak orang yang boleh ubat cara kampung. In other words, alternative ways selain ubat doktor. Yelah, kita dah berusaha cara moden and doktor dah tak mampu buat apa-apa lagi... tak salah cuba. Lepas dapat persetujuan ayah, mama bagitahu Mak Ngah and Mak Ngah pun tak kisah.

On the new year, Azimin and me brought someone yang we all percaya untuk tengokkan Pak Ngah. manalah tahu, boleh ringankan sakit yang dia tanggung. The person that we know nie, memang dah banyak tolong orang. Masa tu, Pak Ngah macam tahu ajer even Mak Ngah tak bagitahu pun kat Pak Ngah pasal nie. Lepas that person urut kaki Pak Ngah, Pak Ngah rasa lega sikit. Lepas tu, that person sapu sikit balm kat belakang Pak Ngah. Lepas tu, Pak Ngah boleh cakap (tak termengah-mengah lagi).

Pak Ngah tanya Azimin & ayah, "apa yang dia buat kat aku?". Ayah cakap, "sikit aje. Dia urut kaki & urut belakang kau."

Pak Ngah nampak ok lepas urut. Dia boleh cakap, boleh minum... Masa we all nak balik, masa salam Pak Ngah tu, Pak Ngah cakap... "Terima kasihlah Leen. Sanggup tolong Pak Ngah . Bawak orang nak tolong selamatkan Pak Ngah."

Perasaan aku masa tu tak payah cakaplah... Just God know how do I feel that time...

The next day, early in the morning, dalan pukul 5.30am, mama called me. She told me that my dad is going to hospital sebab Pak Ngah sesak nafas. Tak sampai 10 minit lepas tu, mama called me again and bagitahu Pak Ngah dah selamat kembali ke rahmatullah.

Pak Ngah kembali ke rahmatullah dengan mudah selepas azan subuh. Innalillah hiwainna ilaihirajiun.

I went to University Hospital with mama & Weeza. Azimin promised to go later after he done with his work that morning. All the necessary things settled kat hospital dalam pukul 10am. Lepas tu, mayat Pak Ngah dihantar balik ke rumah dia dia Taman Kinrara Puchong. Sembahyang lagi sekali kat Masjid Lama Batu 6 Jalan Puchong (Rumah lama kami semua, tempat rumah pusaka arwah atuk). Dan, mayat Pak Ngah selamat dikebumikan di Tanah Perkuburan Puchong, sama tempat dengan arwah atuk & baba.

Waktu itu, barulah aku dapat tahu yang doktor beritahu my dad... doktor estimated Pak Ngah hanya ada 1 bulan ajer... And Pak Ngah had survive for almost 3 months... All this while, my dad just told us that doktor kata Pak Ngah ada less than 1 year.

And masa dekat hospital (rumah mayat), itulah kali pertama I met anak Pak Ngah (with the first wife before he married to Mak Ngah): Affendi & Vidya. Kak Vidya has married with 3 kids and Abg Fendi still tak kawin lagi. Their mum has her new family and also staying in Semenanjung (masa Pak Ngah married with their mum earlier, they were in Sabah). Abg Fendi & Kak Vidya started to keep in touch & getting closer with Pak Ngah masa diaorg dapat masuk ITM. And bila tengok Nani, anak Pak Ngah with Mak Ngah salam cium tangan abang & kakak dia, I have a feeling that they are a family and accept the fate.

Semoga Pak Ngah ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman... Amin
