i lost my grandmother( Makwa - my dad's mother) a few days ago. what made me cried and still makes me cry is when i think about what she intended to do on my engagement/wedding day. In December, my cousin got married. Makwa made a special green-marbled puding and a few kuih bakar manis with green n red cherries on top of them. She was a magnificent cook.. the green marble puding really caught my eyes.
"Cantiknya agar2 ni makwa..."
She smiled. "Nanti nana kawin makwa buat lagi besar... x pun nanti pakwe ko 'antau tanda' nanti makwa buatkan kuih bakau, kuih ku(nyonya delicacies.. cepat le sikit, ckp dgn pakwe ko jgn lambat2.."
"Yay...bestnye..."
I cried a lot when the time to bathe arwah(mandi mayat). alhamdulillah, only her daughters and grandaugthers took part in that.. and i cried a lot too when my other grandma (nenek; my mom's mother) came to visit.
They were about to cover her face (kapankan) when suddenly we heard nenek's voice; "nanti.."
Terdengkot-dengkot nenek dgn tongkatnye masuk ke ruang tamu di mana jenazah sedang dikafankan. And that was the time when I saw ibu cried....
Semoga roh allahyarhamah ditempatkan di kalangan golongan beriman, amiin...
