Rezeki Doa...

Dalam waktu menadah tangan seusai zohor tadi,

This familiar face appeared in my thoughts... smiling, walking across the shops with his faded old and saggy knapsack filled with madu hanging on his back... 

I couldn't help it... terus teringat-ingat

Whom I met again yesterday...

Tak selalu terjumpa, tapi memang akan jumpa di kedai-kedai makan..

Selling honey...

Straw-honey..

bottled honey..

Sometimes ubat-ubat sapu kampung...

But mainly HONEY...

"Madu...madu... madu.." katanya

 I said to him yesterday... "bang nak madu straw!"

"Alahai tinggal botol aje".... he smiled and almost laughed..... 

just a sign, that he knows, that I knew him from some place...

I have a fond memory of him, 

giving honey sticks to kids for free if the family won't buy..

and memory of me getting some for free, and sometimes I'd buy..

and memory of Kak Hasnor chatting and buying some for her kids when we're dining together...

and memories of just seeing him randomly stopping his motorcycle, going around selling his honey in random restaurants...

a kind man... 

these memories stretched all the way back to my teenage years (still at school)...

a very long time... right?

His hair has turned pretty grey when I saw him yesterday and it changed his whole facial appearance quite a bit.... 

I wouldn't recognise him yesterday if he didn't say "madu madu madu"....

Then I made dua for him.......... 

I made dua to Allah to bless his life and family...

Suddenly!

I cried out of nowhere... 

pelik dan benar...

Mungkin Allah rezekian dia dapat kebaikan dalam doa-doa mereka yang melihat dia... 

atas kebaikan dia,,, 

atas kesabaran dia... 

dan atas amalan dia.. 

Intinya: 

Semoga Allah rezekikan kita juga dalam lubuk hati orang-orang yang beriman....

Kita selalu ucapkan "ingat daku dalam doamu" pada majlis perpisahan...

Lupa pula nak minta pada Pencipta hati,  untuk me-rezekikan diri kita dalam doa-doa hambanya yang beriman.... 

Padahal Allah yang mnggerakkan hati-hati... kan..

P/s: 

Baru-baru ini, usai majlis dua sahabat yang akan pulang berkhidmat di kampung halaman masing-masing.... Sahabat yang sangat baik...  dan dikenali ramai dengan kebaikkannya...

Fidah yang cekap mengurus tugasan kerja dan anak-anak, dan suka ingat-mengingatkan..

Zafirah pula yang tenang dan cermat dalam urusan dan tutur kata...

Rupa-rupanya manusia ini dirindukan pada kebaikan akhlak, hati dan perilaku…

Bukan wajah yang cantik semata-mata...

Kan?

But for these two friends, pakej cantik dan baik.. 

Wsalam...
