Mami and I were on our way home from Anjung Ketam after dinner with Ucu and his family when I caught a glimpse of my babysitter's house...
"Mami.. Lama nya kita nda lawat aunty..."
"Owh.. I think they're not here anymore.. Uncle was sent to jail.."
"What???!!!! So they've reached the verdict on his case??? Did he declare himself guilty or did they find him guilty??"
"I'm not very sure.. Tapi.. the last time I heard about him.. Dia sudah kena tangkap.."
"Owh.. I don't believe it... It can't be... I mean.. He's a good man kan... It's like.. Mustahil la..."
"Hurm.. This is the real world dik... Macam-macam.. He's a good man.. That's very true.. Tp.. Kita kena ingat janji syaitan mau sesatkan anak -anak Adam... Dengan apa cara sekalipun, syaitan akan cuba sesatkan kita... Benda ni nda mustahil... A person can do it for many reasons... It could also happen to us someday.... Nauzubillah"
"Yup.. Hurm.. Scary.. I hope they're okay.. Kesiannya aunty and their sons..."
"That's why la adik.. Kena selalu doa minta Allah selalu lindungi kita.. Dunia ni macam-macam... Duit ni lagi la memang senjata syaitan.. Dalam apa kita buat kena ikhlas dan jujur... Dua-dua ni kena ada sama-sama baru la berkat..."
"Ikhlas.. Jujur.. Hurm.. Yeah.. There's just a lot of people yang nda jujur skarang... Is it that hard to be honest??? Geram lak adik"
"Ntahla adik.. Kadang-kadang orang dishonest ni sebab dia takut dia yang kena tindas if they are honest... Kadang-kadang sebab selfish... Kadang-kadang sebab cari jalan mudah.. Kadang-kadang maybe sebab dia terdesak.. That's why I said... People do it for so many reasons... Tp it's best kalo kita avoid it.. Sebab bila kita start to be dishonest, we'll continue to be like that"
"Yeah... It's like that thing is embedded in us and continue to run in our veins.. Jadi darah daging.."
And our conversation continued.. I thought about it again that night before going to bed.. A lot of questions appeared in my mind...
Why...??? Didn't he think about the consequences...??? Didn't he think that he 'll be caught...??? Didn't he think about the future of his children...??? Maybe he did but the urge to do it was much much stronger.. The persisitent devil's whisper... Jahat betol la syaitan... kacian uncle tau...
Mami said she's going to ask Babah to locate the jail in which uncle is placed.. Maybe we can pay him a visit one day.. Mom said it is important to give them our support because at the time of test.. (Especially like this one.. It's really big) they need a lot of support to keep them strong.. The most powerful tool is actually our DOA mami said...
Mami also said we should not stigmatize uncle for the things he'd done. That was his past and it is hoped that he'd learnt his lesson... We should treat him normally, and if we can, we should advice him in a way that he'll not get too offended....
And then I thought about takdir... Sometimes people blame takdir to cover their mistakes..
"Sume ni takdir.."
But to me that is not the reason why Allah plot the takdir...
Yeah.. It is takdir.. The takdir from which we should learn from.. To see how we were and to allow us to correct and to improve ourselves.. To accept our mistakes and go for the beter in the future... And not to repeat the same thing again.. If we put takdir as the thing to blame, we'll never realize what we've done wrong...
May Allah give the strength to Aunty, Uncle and their children... Whether it is true or not, I hope they can go through this...
"Allah sedang berbicara kepadamu tentang IKHLAS dan SABAR. IKHLAS dan SABAR itu Islam"
