Yesterday,me and Ewan was supposed to attend kenduri over at Gran's place.
But we left even before the kenduri started,to attend to a funeral instead.
Thanks to my brother,Apit,who asked if one of Ewan's friend really did passed away.
If not for him,we won't even know.
He lost a friend,secondary school friend,Rickieno,on Saturday due to a bike accident.
I couldn't really recall who he is even when Ewan said I've seen him before during our secondary school days.
It's a lucky thing that Ewan got to see him before the burial.
What touched me was...
the friends,the guys I meant...
the strong bond that they have for each other since secondary school days,
all of them cried during the funeral,lifting the body up and down in a group,and I assumed,they even mandikan arwahnye.
It was hard for them to let go when they have been doing things together for years.
Just when it was time to leave for the burial,they sobbed even harder.
And I thought to myself...
'these are the kind of friends one would look for',
'ini baru namenyer jiwe members'.
And they even went for the burial at Lim Chu Kang together.
I was really touched...
the way they are committed to each other.
That's what friends are for.
Deepest condolences to his family.
Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya...
Amin.
