I have served Politeknik Port Dickson for more than two years now. In that duration, Allah has given me the opportunity to witness a few amazing incidents of joys and sorrows. One of them taught me about real love. You know when someone posted their anniversary on FB or insta and you being a good follower, will wish them well, normally the one that says: May Allah bless you till Jannah..But rarely do you realise the meaning of the phrase. In Ramadhan 2016, two of my good friends,lost their partners. Enab lost her husband and Tn Hj Asri lost his wife.
I don't really know them at that time. I wasn't that close to Enab and I spoke to Tn Hj Asri only on official matters. I had only been in office for about three months and was still learning and trying to blend in. Enab's lost affected me and I learnt about the real meaning of till death do us part and the consequence of that phrase. I remembered her tears, and her sobs and I could feel her sadness. In tears, she asked those who gave their condolences to forgive her husband if he had wronged them in anyway. Often,while trying to hold her sobs,she lamented that she had lost him. Anyone who saw her would feel her sorrow. I could feel that she loved him so dearly and that part of her was gone. It was an image that will stick in my mind for eternity.
I anticipated that Enab will probably need about a month to come to term with the sudden lost but to my surprise, she took only two weeks to return to her usual routine. However, after the lost, Enab was never the same. For quite some time, she walked with the sadden eyes. She smiled but the radiance was not there. She lost some weight and the zest of life simply disappeared.
This Ramadhan 2018, it will be two years since the passing of Enab's husband and Tn HJ Asri's wife. Enab is way better now. When she smiles, her eyes smile with her. She drowned herself in work and I often praised her for her contribution and her dedication to her work. She is a true role model to the young lecturers and occasionally, when I am lucky, I will hear her laugh-heartily.
When the wind is no longer beneath the wings, the bird will flap her wings and still soar-.....higher and stronger.
