Lost of a Friend

I didn't check my phone till it was 10.30am today. I saw one update by Basri on this FB Group dedicated for our friend Atom. The group is called: Atom Wake Up! It is meant to be a temporary page for all who call him a friend. It contains updates, prayers and hopes, and donation drive to help his family.

Earlier this week, there was an update about him waking up, and moving his hands and feet. When I saw there's an update today, I immediately thought that Atom has finally woken up. Perhaps he could be off the support machine.

However, the update was the saddest of news. Atom has left us. Innalillah... He passed early this morning. On a drizzly and cool Friday morning. Subhanallah.

Hubby and I didn't get to ziarah. We did go after Friday prayers, however, we couldn't find the house. Apparently, the address given was not correct. I finally read it was Jalan 6, not Jalan 16. At the roadside, we read updates. He's at the surau. When we were there, there were updates that he's already taken to the cemetery. Hubby asked around which cemetery would that be? When we finally got to know, there's an update that he's already laid to rest.

Tak ada rezeki nak ziarah. On our way back, an old friend called Hubby, that indeed it was just over and the small group of "alumnis" was about to go for a drink. We were already too far off to join.

Rest well dear friend. Al Fatihah.
