What if your world decides to crumble in just one moment?
What if the very reason you take each step decides to change its course?
Your life was all about him, his children and now his grandchildren.
A life dedicated to serve your ticket to Jannah.
You were so young when you decided to be his life partner.
You left your family, to build a future here.
Since then, your days and nights were committed to him, till his last breath.
You’ve been under his care, and his yours.
Until yesterday, 1st May 2018.
I can’t imagine waking up to such emptiness. Those daily actions, not only formed into habits, but a morphed set of rituals that stopped, yesterday. The clock struck 6.30pm and you looked at us with sad eyes, “This time every day, we brought him out for a bath.” Nervous smiles followed.
Today as I peered into your room, I saw you facing the empty space beside you. His side of the bed.
I went into the living room, I looked longingly at his special chair – cold without the warmth of its owner. I can only wonder how much colder it’ll be in your heart, nenek.
I hope He grants the both of you the highest level Jannah.
Yayi, for guiding you. And you, for taking care of him all your life.
MashaAllah.
An epitome of loyalty, maybe love? but ultimately a wife’s sacrifice for Allah’s sake.
Till then, I personally think that I’m not ready to go. To be alone in that hole. 😥
