As you all know I was away at chalet for my sister's birthday. Pictures will be posted on Multiply soon Alhamdulillah, everything went well. All of my family members managed to make it. And also most of Amira's friends were there. Which leads me to a story that until now, I cannot believe it happened. It happened to Amira's friend, Sufyan B Sulaiman.
I am not sure if you guys read the papers today, but Sufyan passed away this morning. At my chalet. Arwah came to my chalet late, around 2 am, the last one to arrive. Only Allah knows that he would be the first to leave.
When he came, Mom, Mak Nah and my lil cousin was already asleep. Leaving me, Diyani, Liyana, Malin and Fahmy. Mira was with her friends, including Sufyan. Soon after, only Diyani and I was left awake, with Mira and friends outside. I was dozing off when I heard Mira informing Diyani that the guys wants to hang out by the pool. I informed Mira not to go. A few minutes later, I saw Mira sleeping beside us.
I only got about 15 mins of sleep when one of Mira's friend woke me up, exclaiming that one of his friends drowned. Ice cold fear wrapped my heart. I ran to the swimming pool and what I saw will remained etched in my mind for as long as I live. There was Sufyan, lying by the pool. I was shaking all over. One of his friend was crying loudly, mostly because of shock. Another friend, who happened to be his cousin, was already calling the ambulance and his Mom. I could hear the mother's anguish cry over the phone. I was in shock. I remembered asking myself, why and how did this happened. All the while asking myself these questions over and over again, Sufyan was lying just a foot away from me.
The ambulance came only about 15 mins later. Deep in my heart, I knew it was too late. I knew that Sufyan was no longer with us. I have never felt this helpless before. I that I could do was to watch the paramedics trying their very best to revive Sufyan. Soon after, Mom came and 10 mins later, the paramedics took Sufyan to the hospital. We all went back to the chalet, feelng numb.
Out of the 4 friends that was with him when the incident happened, one went with him to the hospital, the other 2 went to fetch his mother, whereas the last one was with us till the next afternoon. He just couldn't stop crying. We were all worried, praying that Sufyan will be well.
About 2 hours later, the bad news came and Sufyan was pronounced dead around 645 am. Mira couldn't stop crying. We were all quiet. We checked out that night itself.
This morning, we went to his home as he will be kebumikan after Zohor. Alhamdulillah everything went well. I know, from the number of people present, Sufyan was greatly loved.
Ibu talked to him Sufyan's mother. She did not blamed us. It is all written in his destiny. Even if we managed to pull him out on time, something else might have gone wrong. No one can stop Allah's way of doing things.
When the jenazah was brought down after mandi and disembahyangkan, more people than you could imagine was there. His little sister was crying for him asking him to wake up, not to sleep anymore. I couldn't take it. I started to cry. It breaks my heart, seeing all his love ones in pain.
Now, there is no way of turning back time and I wish the best for the family. I really am very sorry if, at any time, we have caused the family more grievance and sadness.
Moga Allah mencucuri ramat keatas rohnya dan
moga dia ditempatkan dengan orang-orang yang beriman, disebelah Allah
s.w.t. Al-Fatihah.Rabal ya rabal alamin.
