Goodbye Friend

Yesterday around noon one of my ex schoolmate called and in normal tone he said “you already knew about him right?” I said who? He said _____ has gone this morning? I’m speechless and can hardly believe that…how could it be? Last two weeks we just had a long chat till midnight…about him pursuing his dreams furthering his studies as undergraduate in one public university in northern Malaysia. And I can still remember that he keeps on repeating that he will gone bald before he can finished his study.

A few days before I received a call from him asking about subjects that I’ve taken during my bachelor, whether I’ve taken this and that and asking whether I still keeps the books or not…I said I left all the books at the university but I still have my brother there and he might took the subject and I told him that I will asked from my brother when he came back. But then he seems to be in the state of emergency and frequently sms me asking about my brother’s assignments. I’m amazed to see how he did his follow up between me and my brother.
Around that few days, he frequently called and sms me, I told him that I can just email those assignment to him but he insist of coming to my house and put it in his thumbdrive. On that day I wait and waited but still no sign of him coming…until at about 6 pm he called and said he want to come to my house…I said I cant meet him that time because I had another friend waiting for me…a friend from a far..he said..ok tell him when I arrived home…

I thought I might finished seeing my friend in about 30 minutes but then I had to accompany them for few hours..by that time I deeply apologized because of the delay and he said..it ok…don’t let them down, they come from a far…
I rushed home around 10pm…and I sms him to notify him that I’m home…then after a while..he came, alone with his beloved motorcycle..Last time I met him was on March 2010…then I showed him all my assignment from my undergrads to post grads  together with the thesis..both bachelor and masters…I compiled it earlier together with my brother’s assignment…I said to him..you can refer but you should not copy it directly…it was just a guideline for him…he was so worried about the format, and confuse with APA, footnote, and endnote…then I showed to him what I knew…not so long before the laptop shutdown due to the low battery…and he said…If he knew that..he will bring his laptop instead…

Luckily I have copied all the folder in his newly bought thumbdrive…”specially for assignment” he said…and then quickly rename it with his name…then he told me about the problems he has to face after he resume his study to undergrads level…I said I’ve experience it all..its a normal stuff for me…and he also complained about the new systems that was not so user friendly that it took him sometime to adapt…
At around 12 midnight…he leaves my house…saying that he will depart to his school at the morning…and hopes that I will be able to help him in the future when it comes to his study…I said that I’m so proud of him that he continue his study and I will try to assist him the way I could…

People said that a person will act weird 40 days prior they actually gone…sadly all that weirdness make sense when the person already gone…the same thing with him…I knew him for more that 10 years…since 1996…he was my classmate from 1996 to 2001… he was my partner in class from 1999 to 2000…yet I’m still puzzled on the way he thanks me for the small favor I did to him…he did asks a number of our friend…I gave it to him and he replied…thanks a lot my friend…”sahabatku dunia akhirat”…so silly of me for not noticing that…by that time..I think “whats wrong with this guy”…that was quite extreme for the small favour I did to him…

Now after he’s gone…all of that make sense…why he insisted of seeing me when I can simply email to him…and that he still come to my house even though its quite late…I can see now how that make sense…he said that I better be at the place where I worked now so that I can be quite close to him…I’m sorry bro…my eyes were shed with tears when I tried to recall what you have said last two weeks…it turns out to be that you will be leaving us this soon…

Hope you will be ok in your new world bro...may your heroic actions last forever in our memories...you did not vanished just like that…you are still a hero that brings us together…may ALLAH blessed HIS mercy on your soul…I will remember what you have said last two weeks…to all my friend who read this…lets not forget  about our “Hero” ya…

To be continued…
