Buah Kundang Yang Mengundang

Semalam Jazz, Maryam and I, ziarah our dear friend Hasman. Sambil sambil bincang pasal our upcoming travel plan. Kesian tengok Hasman. Itu saja lah yang boleh dibuat...kesian. Perasaan kesian sahaja yang boleh di tunjuk kan. Kata orang, berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu yang memikul.

Hasman ialah pesakit ginjal. Was diagnosed last year. 2 kali seminggu, Hasman harus menjalani rawatan dialysis. Kerap juga, Hasman pengsan setelah selesai rawatan, akibat kurang darah, atau terlalu penat menjalani rawatan selama 4 jam. Kerap juga Hasman terpaksa menguatkan diri, terpapah sendiri untok pulang dari klinik dialysis. Rawatan dialysis ini ialah rawatan sepanjang hayat, unless, ada penderma ginjal. Itu pun jika serasi dengan penerima. Kalau tidak, sia sia sahaja.

Anyways... perbelanjaan untok rawatan dialysis bukan nya murah. Sebulan boleh mencapai $2,500. Dalam keadaan beliau mengalami penyakit ginjal, tempat dia bekerja pula berpindah ke Malaysia, kerana mencari kos rendah untok perusahaan mereka. Ramai pekerja pekerja diberhentikan. Retrenched. Termasuk Hasman. Walaupun meraih saguhati, dengan belanja dialysis dan anak anak yang masih bersekolah... berapa lama wang saguhati itu boleh bertahan? Hendak mencari pekerjaan lain, rasanya tidak larat. Waktu mesti diperuntukan untok rawatan dialysis.

All we can do is pray for his well being, for his rezqi, semuga di bukakan jalan untok beliau mendapat kemudahan. As we all believe that rezqi ditangan Allah. We can be rich, but we are not guaranteed of happiness. We can be mediocre, and we live life to the fullest. Who says the rich are happy, they may be rich monetary, but they are poor in happiness. No love, alone and lonely.

But for Hasman and family, they never stopped being grateful. A very humble man, with the patience of a strong man.

And I, being always the middle person, occassionally hand in contributions from generous friends. Not that Hasman ever ask for it, but from friends who knows the hardship of another friends who are in need. These are friends that I will treasure, these are friends that stay on top of my list. These are friends that we can hardly find. These are my friends.

Of all the greatness of friends, the hospitality of Hasman and family never fail to leave a feeling of love in my heart. Even when they are the one who are in need, they do know how to treat friends with so much love.

Jamuan kita malam tadi

Apa dijolok buah kundang,
Isinya putih manisnya tidak;
Apa dirajuk kepada orang,
Entah kasih entahkan tidak

Jolok kedondong pakai galah
Jolok kan sekali buak kuini
Hmm... apa nak jadi pun jadi lah
Malas nak pening lalat pikir pasal ni...

Maryam sibuk salin resepi

Ani, pening kasi resepi malam malam buta

Hasman penat baru balik dialysis
