The Boy Who Kept Quiet
The Boy Who Kept Quiet
This happened very recently....And I broke into tears on that day...
It was a Saturday, me, Hajar & Baby Alisya went for lunch at the R&R Bukit Dukung. While we were about to enjoy our meal, I smell cigarette smoke. There was an old couple sitting next to us and the husband was smoking after his meal, puffing the smoke anywhere he liked. There was no possibilities that this couple did not realize that a baby was sleeping nearby and the smoke is not good not only for the baby but the person who was enjoying it like hell.
But no...the old bastard kept on smoking, thus we decided to move further from the ignorant old couple and managed to enjoy our meal peacefully.
While eating there came a boy, about 3-4 years of age. He stood next to Alisya's jogger and smiled at her. He seems to be very fascinated with the jogger and the mobile fan clipped to it. Throughout our meal, the boy stood there, smiling at Alisya, sometimes pointing at our baby, perhaps he's communicating something with her in his own ways.
After we have finished our meal, I went to make the payment at the counter and Hajar & baby Alisya went to buy some rambutans for our friends who'll be coming to visit us. The boy followed Alisya's jogger.
When we were about to leave, I did my duty as usual - folding the jogger and placing it inside the car. The boy observed every move I made. I got into the car, he stood next to Hajar' seat. I gave Hajar a small amount of money to give it to the boy. He took the money and off we go....towards the end of the R&R area to make a u-turn, moving toward the opposite direction.
The boy was standing on the side of the road, waving at us as we passed by....
Upon our exit, I started to feel I sad and guilty...I broke down in tears and told Hajar that I am really touched by the boy's presence. If we did not adopt Alisya & Naufal, perhaps they will be like that boy....I was really touched. I wept and cried for I wish I'd never have to depart with my two lovely bundle of joy....I just could not bear the thought that Alisya & Naufal taking the place of the boy.
If I am wealthy, I would be glad to support that boy to grow. I tried to think what's in his mind while he looked at baby Alisya and us....perhaps he wished that he could be like Alisya, happy with mum & dad who loves her with all of their hearts....perhaps...
Allah Almighty, You are so kind to let me be what I am, I will always be your servant and I will take care of Alisya & Naufal for as long as I am still breathing.....I love them more than everything else in my live and if I happen to earn more than we could use, it shall go to those who are in need...for I do not extremely wish for the wealth & comforts of life when there are others who badly wish they could have something that we take for granted.....
