I miss my family... I finished talking to my father on the phone a few minutes ago. With tears streaming down the cheeks and all. Abah is not in a very good health right now. He told me he just returned from Johore for some occasion a couple of days before, and perhaps because of the long journey he took that made him so much tired. Actually, in the beginning i thought i would have some talk with my mom, but unfortunately she was already asleep, said Abah. And to think of it over and over, it was very nice to talk to Abah though. He made me feel very relieved somehow. He poured some great advices on me, as ones that i haven't heard of for quite a long time. He made me notice that it has also been quite some time that i did not really talk to him. Yeah, it is true that i always speak to Ma instead of Abah, but that is because i pity my Abah. He is already busy with a lot of things being a son of a mother, a husband of a wife, a father of children, etc etc etc... And i just thought that i would better not disturb him with my teenage woos, my studies whatsoever so that the burden he was carrying would not pile up. Anyways. I love you, my very Abah... And thanks a lot for being there whenever i need you. I promise that i will start turning over a new leaf and soon be a daughter whom you can be proud of insyaAllah!
"And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal.""
(Surah Luqman: 14)
