Mama, where is my baju Melayu?

I met Haniza, Norriha and Tn Hj Fauzy when I attended a PTA AGM this morning. For the sake of his daughter, Tn Hj Fauzy attended the meeting and as usual he voiced out his opinions that parents should contribute more money to the school for academic programmes since the benefits will be savoured by our children. Despite the loss of his beloved wife, Kak Mas, Tn Hj Fauzy managed to pull his strength to be present at the meeting.

Before leaving the school, Norriha, Haniza and I greeted him. He shared with us how he and the children missed his wife so much... He shared with us how his son, Zayani, who joined the navy wept uncontrollably one night when they were having 'tahlil' for the late Kak Mas... Mr Fauzy asked Zayani to put on 'baju Melayu' for the tahlil instead of wearing a t-shirt. Zayani responded positively and ran from room to room calling "Mama, where is my baju Melayu?' until he finally realised that his mama had already gone for good... I just could not hold my tears...Norriha was worse...

Sometimes, we do not realise how important a person is to us until we lost them for good....
