Dapat call dari abang sulung aku last Thursday, one of my brother had just passed away due to liver failure. It reminds me how quick or how short the time that we, mortals, will live out our time here, in this world.
The next day, cakap kat one of my directors regarding the news, and terus dia bagi aku compassionate leave for a week. Petang, aku book ticket, and on Friday, I'm already on my way back to Malaysia, via Dubai. Its a painful 24 hour journey, with 4 hours stopover in Dubai.
Sampai mesia, mmg penat, dgn medical check kat airport (H1N1 punya pasal), and amik cab, balik umah akak kat Melaka.
Aku pelik gak napa firm non muslim, employer aku leh bagi 5 days compassionate (tak deduct pun annual leave), tapi, kalau firms kat mesia nak bagi 2 hari pun susah, pastu kena immediate family, kalau nak lebih kena tolak annual leave, punya lah kedekut.
Berbalik pada cerita abang aku yg meninggal, mengingatkan aku yg mati nih tak kenal usia and tak kira berapa kaya pun kita, nyawa tak boleh dibeli. Lastly, al-fatihah untuk abang, moga roh mu dicucuri rahmat.
