Strange yet meaningful~

This odd experience actually happened right after my Honda City test drive..

I stepped out of my dream car with my dreamy eyes... My thoughts was else where... I spotted mom and safiah standing next to a guy holding a broom.. Clad in a blue t-shirt, I instantly know that the guy is a cleaner in the building...

"Assalamualaikum.." mencelah dengan seberapa sopan yang boleh~

"Waalaikumsalam" they replied~

Mom introduced me to the guy as her daughter studying pharmacy in IIUM Kuantan Campus and told him I'll be back for my semester soon.. Suddenly his eyes were fixed on me and said something that I'd never expected..

"Aku cukup bangga jumpa orang terpelajar... Aku harap sangat jadi macam kau, dang. Tapi apa boleh buat aku dilahirkan dalam keluarga susah. 10 adik beradik, tiada seorang pon yang sekolah. Tengoklah ni. Bawak penyapu saja... Aku ada amanah untuk kau.. Skarang kau beruntung dilahirkan dalam keluarga senang dan dianugerahkan otak yang pandai dan boleh belajar jauh.. Guna peluang yang ada tu.. Belajar rajin rajin.. Ramai yang mau jadi macam kamu dang tapi apa bole buat, nada peluang. Bersyukurlah.. Kalau aku lahir di tempat kau mesti aku yang pergi belajar jauh.. Kalau kau lahir di tempat aku mesti kau yang pegang penyapu ni.. Bersyukur lah dang.. Ingat amanah ku tu"

Woho!!! I was surprised but tried to look calm... I didn't know how to response but finally said.. "InshaAllah.. Terima kasih, bang" eventhough I think that was quite lame~


Hurm.. How would you feel if you were in my shoes?? Do you think I made the right response???

Occasionally I do think things like"what if I was born to be someone else? would it be better? Or would it be worse".. But this time I was given a full blow at point blank.. Someone confessed he wanted to be in my place.. How lucky I am in his eyes.. MashaAllah~

Yeah... I might not be the luckiest person on earth but I am luckier than many other people in this world.. I have so0o0 many things to be grateful of... WE are luckier than many other people in this world~

When I first came to this world.. I'm perfectly healthy with all my limbs and organs functioning well to this day

I'm lucky to be born in a Muslim family~ Although mine was not the kind with strong Islamic base but we are improving day by day.. Alhamdulillah~

I think I'm also lucky to have been given strength to face adversities and to be reminded of Him everytime I forget.. Some people are left astray till their last breath~

HUrm.. His words are still mind boggling~ He made me realized how I'm taking a lot of good things in my life for granted.. Hopefully his "amanah" could be some sort of booster for me to improve my pointer figure =)

May his life be better each day~ I'm really thankful to have met someone like you =)

by the way.. it's my mom who told me to share this story~ hehe
