AlhamduLILLAH ...

Syukur, AlhamduLiLLAH, for the opportunity to still serve in this temporal life ...

1 Muharram ... Hampir saja berselimut putih suami dan isteri ... dan sebuah van yang sarat dengan pelajar muda dan cikgunya yang memandu.

We were on the main road going east... a van was also on the main road going west heading into an exit on the right... 

 

Without warning the van veered fast right in front of us and husband put on instant brake ... and wife slid forward towards the dashboard almost down on the floor ... apa lagi tak pakai seat belt lah tu...

it was a close call for a regular newspaper item ...

AlhamduLILLAH syukur Allah SWT masih memberi peluang untuk insafkan diri ... that life ... hanya pinjaman.

nak jadi cerita lagi ... i was extremely angry at the speed of the driver crossing us ... i am a girl but selalulah  juga kena tegur that i ni macam anak jantan ... anak perempuan nsembilan memang macam tu agaknya .. :) sangat sabar, sangat pemaaf, tetapi jangan sekali dianiya ... macam tu lah ye kawan-kawan ... :)

so dengan hotnya ... (syukur selamat) ... tetapi teramatlah juga marahnya dengan oghang yang bawak van tu ... i said to suami follow him ... i want to say something ... kenapa dia tak berhenti and say sorry for the stupid thing he has done ...

van was away fast but that exit led to a dead end so as we followed, the van made a u-turn and as they were passing us, i asked husband to wave them to stop ...

takkk mau stop ... lagi laju ... but i could see the van was a government vehicle with the name of a state school somewhere in Perlis written across it ... lagiii lah tak suka cara ni ...

I said to husband, follow on ... if they don't stop i will call the ministry and report their behaviour ...

they are lost probably ... but that should not excuse them ... with pack of students in that van ... who so ever is driving is irresponsible ...

Pendekkan cerite kami ikut ... trafic light merah ... dua-dua berhenti ... the students were peering at us ... they understood that we want them to stop ... but again on green they sped ahead ... ish geramm

i said ... ikut lagi (tak ada please, please dah ni) ...

Finally, they must have realised that we were not going to disappear, they moved to the side and stopped ... and we stopped ahead of them ... we came down (macam gangster pula  bunyi nya kann ... but truth be told, i had on jubah with hijab ... kecik je about 5 feet ... husband alhamduLILLAH berjanggut bagai tapi alien lah wajahnya tu ...besar tinggi but gentle je air mukanya ... tu sebab tak siapa takut pun ...:)

Kami approached the driver ... kesian pula nampaknya ... gentle jugalah airmukanya ... tetapi dek marah saya cakap jugalah marah saya (suami orang dari luar negara jadi isteri lah tukang lebih cakapnya) ...

He said ... He was sorry, he was sorry ... but he was lost ... trying to find the way to a homestay which was supposed to be around the area ...

but that does not excuse you from the kind of things that you were doing ... driving dangerously with so many on board ... if you are a teacher ... this is very very bad ... very bad ... it is lucky that you stopped now ... otherwise we were definitely going to report you to the ministry about your behaviour ... and such a shame for not stopping when we resquested you ...

... dah reda marah ... kami offered to show them the way ... but they said they are calling the homestay people ... meanwhile i noticed his eyes were on the GPS trying to locate the place ... we guided them the way and departed ... AlhamduLILLAH amicably ...

Lesson learned

1. don't forget to wear seat belt even for a short ride ... husband was driving slowly ... even then I slid  down on emergency braking ...

2. I sensed the teacher was observing the GPS for directions rather than observing the road ... and he was speeding at the same time ...

3. The exit road and the main road appeared to be one straight road when approached from the east going west ... and it is a terrible junction that is waiting for tragedy ... na'uzubiLLAHi minzalik. ...

.... again syukur AlhamduLILLAH awal Muharram tidak berakhir dengan tragedy ...

Ma'al Hijrah Mubarak ...
