on the way to visit a very very dear friend last night ...
adinda Hajjah R from Brunei ... who was here to consult with her cikgu supervisor in a local university ...
it was maghrib time ... so we (self & oghang besar dighumah) stopped at the rest area to do solat ...
as i was praying ... terdengar anak ini merengek, merayu-rayu next to me ... she was holding onto the knees of a lady standing for solat ...
bibikkk ... bibikkk ... nak airrrrr ... bibikkkkkk ...
berrrr ulang kali ...
sekejap sekejap .... babaaaaa ....sambil ter sedu sedu ... babaaaaa
bibikkk ... bibiikkkkkk ... babaaaa
wanita yang dipegang anak itu terus bersolat ... rukuk ... sujud ... berdiri semula ... dalam sedu dan rengekan ... sambil mencari-cari ruang untuk sujud di atas sajada yang di occupied oleh anak itu ...
sehingga selesai ...
saya pun selesai solat ... kawan-kawan ingat tahap mana lah khusuk solat malam tu ye ...
usai solat ... saya toleh ... she was on my left ... ku lihat wanita itu merangkulnye dengan lembut ...
she went quiet ... dibelai rambutnye yang kerinting (imagine maggi mee) ... masyaAllah comelll sangat anak ini ...
anak siapakah ini ... my inner voice asked ... i suddenly felt sad ... kenapa tidak ...
mamaaa ... mamaaa ... mamaaa
