The law of NATURE...

the boat and Rejang river

One day

I saw, i heard

about the person

she dead, in front of my house

people are chaos, i can saw lori pertahanan awam in front of their house

people are assemble there

who is she?

I’m not even knowing her

But why i felt like someone saying goodbye

The last goodbye to me

And i remember Emily Dickinson poem

"There's been a Death, in the Opposite House,"

She dead when she is sleeping last night

Some said because of the dengue fever

 She leaves two children

No husband, they’re divorce long time ago

The only thing i know that

She is a mother

Could be a sister to someone

And a daughter

At least she is someone whom precious to the person that loved her

Flashback to the story long time a ago

Where  me and my family sank at Rejang river

When our ‘speedboat’collapse between the ferry and express

When this happen, at that time i’m just 9 years old (Primary three)

What i can remember from this tragedic memory is that

I’m wet, and tali perahu mengheret me to the deeper level

While my dad trying to save me

Luckily dady succeed to cut the tali and saving me

While mumy and my siblings bergayut above the tank

It was Gawai season

And people are drunk and karaoke-ing

Not far from the place that we sank

There a longhouse, it’s called Rumah Ngiring (if i’m not mistaken)

Someone from that house was heard somebody yelling for “help!”

And that sound came from my mom and dad

Who struggle and hoping for someone could heard and help us

Five minutes later, luckily there was a few sampan and people from  the longhouse i mentioned above come and save us

If not because of them from that longhouse saving us

I and my family maybe not alive until this day

Maybe ours destiny not ended there yet

And we still have purposes in this journey of life

What are the related story above to the person that who just dead

What suprise me is that, she also come from that longhouse

Maybe the time i was kid and sank at that river

She and her relatives might be the person that help me and my family

And then i realize she could be the person whom saving my family and i

And i do believe that in this world we’re bound by seven person that might be related to us

And i still remember the theater we had produce when i was in my 2nd years at University

‘6 degree of separations’ is one of the theory which mentioned

We could be related to 7 peoples in this world

And yes, that was so true!

And happen in my life

When mom said to help at least giving her family some money to support the procedure

To bring her back to the longhouse

Even it small at least we could help them

And i pray May the Lord blessed her soul

And R.I.P.

That day, before she depart..it suddenly raining

Somehow showing that she is crying to leave the earth

The house, her sons and her friend there...

I saw the lorry bring her inside

And her coffin

Until it lost from my sight...

On that day, i can’t felt like the earth saying the last goodbye...

And until next time the day we’ll meet again...
