♥ Hush
Monday, September 29, 2008
i walked into the house and that sense of love overwhelmed me. i never thought i'd feel this bad. i brought the food to the kitchen where they told me to put it on the table. i did what i was told then i just started wandering around. at first, i had no idea why. then it hit me, i was looking for her. among the laughing women, talking men and crying babies, all i looked for was her comforting voice and warm hug. looking at the food, i kept wondering where was her dish ? i went upstairs to eat. and i sat infront of the TV with Yana, Dayan, Nabil and Ali, my closest cousins. i kept glancing at her bedroom door, remembering how she'd pray then come out and calmly tell us to clean up after ourselves. she was always like that. she never raised her voice to us, she spoke nicely and calmly, not hurting us, one bit. she was a lady. a true malay woman. soon, the boys went down to pray and i babysat for some of cousins. it was funny to see so many babies because i remember being the baby once. watching the toddlers play with the toys i used to play with on the same spot was different. i felt jealous. and sad for them. they didn't know the wonderful woman i knew. looking around her house, i remembered so many things. everything looked so neat and tidy even with her gone. which was how she liked it
