Al-Fatihah Utk Arwah Tuk Meor...

Last Sunday, 8th March... Joey received a call from Raad informing him that Atuk Meor just passed away around 12:00 noon. So... Joey & I.. we went to look for Wan Chu's house in Jalan Nenas, Kota Masai. We were searching high and low for her house but in vain. We tried to ask Raad but he did not pick up. Anne pun sama... ntah apa lah penyakit depa nih... asal weekend jer.. x nak jawab phone. Bukannya depa x kenal our phone number. Lain lah kalau kluar private number ker hapa.... then..logik la kalau x nak jawab....

Anyway, after much effort to locate Wan Chu's house.. Joey nampak satu van jenazah kerajaan negeri Johor... with its lights blinking all the way..so we all pun follow jer la van tuh. It went straight to the masjid. Sampai kat masjid... Joey saw Wan Chu.. so... betul la tindakan Joey to follow that van. Memang jenazah Tuk Meor was in the van. It was almost Asar... sementara tunggu orang ramai datang sembahyang Asar... I sat beside jenazah Tuk Meor coz nobody temankan. Hati haku kecut2 jugak... but then I just took a Yassin and recite the Yassin in a very low voice.

Soon..Asar came. So..ramai lah jemaah... after performing the Asar prayer, all the male jemaah perform the sembahyang jenazah. It was raining cats and dogs... lebat betul. Kilat sabung menyabung... petir lagi...guruh... sampaikan masa bacaan doa by the imam pun.. we all kat ruang sembahyang wanita.. x dengar apa2 pun... but still we all amin kan jer...

Masa nak bawak jenazah ke tanah perkuburan.. it was still raining heavily.. but petir dah x der... Joey and I followed the van jenazah to the cemetery.... the rain has started to stop. Alhamdulillah.. coz it would be very hard to semadikan jenazah dalam keadaan hujan lebat...

Anyway.. the rain stopped. Cuma... kawasan tanah perkuburan tuh.. lecak teramat.. haku sampai buka kasut.. berkaki ayam saja untuk ke kawasan liang lahad. Semasa jenazah dimasukkan ke dalam liang lahad.. for the very first time.. haku nampak betul2 mcmana kedudukan mayat sebenarnya... rupanya muka jenazah mesti diciumkan ke tanah... haku baru tau.... terkesima haku... dari tanah kita datang.. kepada tanah jua kita kembali....

Semasa bacaan talkin.... sayu hati haku... insaf haku dibuatnya... namun.. apabila sudah sampai ajal... tiada apa yang akan dapat menghalang....

Selepas pengkebumian.. Joey & I spent the whole day at Wan Chu's house sampai majlis tahlil after Isyak...... anyway, haku pun x pernah kenal siapa Tuk Meor and this is the first time I met Wan Chu.... apa pun... kita tetap saudara satu agama....
