Musibah n hikmah ...

Time checked: 3am.
Baru 3 jam beralih hari dari Ahad ke Isnin tapi macam tak sesuai nak sebut 'semalam'.

@2pm yesterday I went out on a lunch date with a friend n her tiny tot, Hani. T was going out to OU about the same time so I gave in and let her use my car. Kerja emak memang kena mengalah selalu ke? Next time dia kena book seminggu in advance!

.
Dah jadi habit T sebelum drive jauh, dia mesti check status minyak. Kot status minyak nyawa2 ikan, dia mesti isi minyak dulu, balik rumah pastu barulah bersiap. Satu kerja pulak, kan? tapi dia ada sebab tersendiri kenapa dia buat cam tu *pap dahi*

Lepas ensure semuanya ok, konfiden bebenarlah dia tu tapi bila dipulas kunci keta .. ngehhekhek.. tetiba lemau jer bunyinya. Sesi whining n blaming bermula "Umi tak start keta eh? blablabla" (dah 4-5 hari I tak keluar jjcm/jjcl, camana I nak start keta?). Kalau dah bunyi lemau cenggitu, tentulah angkara jahhat sibateri, tul tak? Upon checking, dah guna bateri tu since Oct09, patut pun lemau..

Dalam kelam kabut tu, I tak cepat mati akal, feewit. I terus fone Lee workshop mintak tolong mekaniknya mencemar duli, ahaks. Secepat kilat, muncul 2 mekanik naik motor terkedek2 bawak bateri baru. 2 kali mekanik ulang alik balik workshop sebab lupa bawak spanar dan tukar bateri sekali (silap bawak saiz). In a jiffy bateri siap diganti, kalau tak mesti ada yang mengamok ganas serupa cyclone Bianca Jagger, hehe.

I dah buat deal dengan sorang mekanik tentang bayaran tapi bila berdua tu nak balik, I somehow macam paham aje apa sorang lagi mekanik tu cakap kat kawan dia; mesti dia tanya "ehh tak bayar kerr?". I pun menyampuk "haaa... nanti loh kong bayar, thank you".

Selesai semua tu, barulah I berganjak ke Summit dengan my friend. Makan ayam penyet aje. Sebelum balik singgah ke McD beli pwospewity burger for cik loh kong. Tiba rumah by 5pm n kawan tu singgah sekejap until 6pm sebelum dia ke airport jemput loh kong dia balik dari sinun.

I selalu bitau T, bila2 something happens not to our liking, do refrain from whining or blaming other people. Suka tak suka, kena redha juga sebab Allah tak beri musibah pada orang yang lemah (mesti ada hikmahnya).

Banyak kali I sms T masa dia kat sana. Tanya bila nak balik, cermat bawak keta sebab hujan, blablabla. Well.. she reached home almost 9pm. Much later masa kemas her handbag, dia perasan sekeping note 50 dah hilang. Dia baru ingat duit tu dia simpan dalam poket pants and that it was possible the money could have been dropped at the surau. Kali nih dia cool aje n boleh duk senyum simpul lagi. Dah takde rezeki dan dia redha w'pun RM50 boleh beli macam2 .. tako, tutti frutti, aiskrim, subw* sandwich ...

T's 'what if' theory .. kalaulah kereta tak buat hal, mungkin dia ada masa singgah SS19 untuk beli facial cream yang sama harga duit yang hilang. I told her if only she got home before Maghrib as I advised her to, the money would've still be in her pocket as she would definitely be praying at home.

Praying with the pants on is not comfortable so she took it off and put on the telekong instead. Maybe that was the time the money chose to slip out from the pocket. My point is, why did that happen during Maghrib prayer and not Asar?

Bateri keta lemau masa keta masih dirumah. Buatnya bateri tu melemaukan diri masa kat highway ke, kat parking lot ke, camana?? Dahlah dia sensorang, hari malam, hujan pulak tu. Masyaalah .. Allah is great!

Moral of the story: Listen to your Umi, noktah!
