♥ Nenek.
This morning Nizal gave me some baulu for breakfast and suddenly it remind me of my grandma from Baba's side. I suddenly miss her terribly. I missed her kuih baulu too! She make perfect baulu and nobody in the family took over the recipe from her! Sigh...
I grew up with her till her last breath. And its still clear in my mind how she left me forever.
It was back in 1995, I was in primary 3 at that point of time.
I skipped my ngaji that morning and was having fun at home, with music blasted so loudly with my cousin who stay with me. Kak Ju(my cousin) suddenly came out from the room and told me a funny story about nenek (which was not anymore now).
She told me that nenek was sitting on her bed by the window jumping and clapping her hand out of joy and saying " Ju pergi buat kopi! Atok datang!." My atok passed away back in 1988 by the way. So we were laughing and was like thinking what a lame joke that was.
And nenek actually fainted due to her asthma attack. Called my parents and Mak Busu who live nearby. Then the doctor came too.
As per normal, I got ready for school as I was in the afternoon session at that point of time. I was making my way to the busstop when Mak Busu shouted from the 10th floor asking me to come back home. She waited for me at the lift lobby and when the lift door opened, she told me that "nenek da takde!" I cried on the spot! I don't know anything. I feel so shitty cos I never thought she would leave me just like that.
Even though I can't recall all the things I've done with her, she'll always stay in my heart and will always be. Macam mane kene rotan ngan dia pon! I still love her.
It been years since I last visited her graveyard, I really hope I can make my trip there pretty soon. Insyallah.
Now, lets recite some prayers for my nenek and 3 other grandparents of mine shall we?
Al-fateha.
