It was on 2007 when I asked you this:
"ma'am, how can I reach your house? by taking MM public transportation?"
And you answered this:
"Take MM and drop by SD tingkat. then you go in. walk along and reach the second alleyway, turn left. walk along 100 metres and you'll find my home. the yellow one in front of the field"
It was on 2008 when I texted you this:
"Ma'am, I may be late, but it doesn't reduce my thankfulness to God, for your decision of wearing hijab! congrats, ma'am... I'm glad you've done what you are supposed to do as a muslimah. I love you!" and you said, "Thanks, dear".
It was on 2009 when I said this:
"Ma'am, my feeling said that somebody lives here. Are you pregnant?"
"Yes, I am"
"You are? Congrats!!"
"Sssh! don't talk too loud!"
"Ma'aam.... how many months have it been?"
"Six months"
It was on 2010 when I said this:
"Ma'am, I got 3,52 for my GPA"
"Waw, that's great. congrats"
It was on 2011 when I said this:
"Ma'am, will you tell your hubby that I feel guilty for him? Please tell him that I ask for apology"
"What have you done, Prith?"
"I talked about him behind his back - and I told a wrong fact. What's worse, I did this in my old blog"
"He will be away for a whole month. Going around java, you know"
"But please tell him I beg his pardon"
"I will"
It was on 2012 when I said this:
"Ma'am, look at this! I am the editor of this magazine"
"Great. May I keep this?"
"It's OK. We still have many in our office"
See? You can witness that - in fact, we're this close. A distance is made because of my hectic life as a junior student taking 11 classes. I feel so long with her - I admit it! I'm still trying to greet her once in a while, among all my duties....
I still remember her as an inspiration and as a motivator, somehow.
And, see what I found on her daughter's status update:
(I believe that it's for real, I know you, kid...)
What did I just read? A pilgrimage - you.... you will go? this year?
Alhamdulillah.....
I don't want to be overjoyed. I just want to thank HIM for this golden chance, for His endless bless....
All I can do is just praying for you. For everything best. To be succeed in this pilgrimage. May Allah accept your pilgrimage as a Haji Mabrur. Amiiiin.
Lord, please keep them safe. Grant all their prayers. Make them your loved ones, and bless them all along their life. I love them as always, Lord.
Back in 2009, I was such in a big worry, afraid of losing her. When she was about to give birth to her third baby. She was 40 at that time and I know it was kinda risky for giving birth. I was afraid of losing her. Many of my friends lost their moms when they were delivered.... I keep on praying, "Lord, please save her.... please save her, I want to see her shining again, bright as a star...."
and that's what HE gave, alhamdulillah.
This will be another time she goes through a 'risky phase' of life, and I indeed keep on praying for her.... not only for being kept save, but also going back home as a new, better person....
In this last days of Ramadhan, In this barokah time for praying, when a certainty has come....
I'm praying for you, sir, ma'am...
Finally you're gonna depart. Have a safe journey. And may Allah bless you with a haji mabrur.
Love you....
Sir, Maam, when you arrive there, please pray for me...
for my struggle to finish this study and to gain this 2 titles: S.S, and S.Pd :)
