K.NUR’S WEDDING

My 2nd weekend here since the start of the new block has been quite eventful. We were planning to go to Kak Ju’s house to help with the wedding but she’d managed to get everything done that she didn’t require our help anymore. So that night we studied pharmaco. At 8am Saturday which by the way was as rainy as any other day, we had a pharmaco tutorial with Dr Azizi at. By 9.30, we were free to do whatever we wanted.

Around 11 pm, Azza sent me, kak liya, rey, and zeti to masjid negeri where kak nur’s akad nikah would be held. Kak Nur looked so beautiful and serene in the white gown that she wore. Many of her batch came to the ceremony. The event went smoothly. When Umayr wanted to put the ring on K.Nur, his hands were shaking, so was kak nur’s. he pulled back his hand and makcik Lainy took his hand and placed it on K.Nur’s.

Then, we went to the house where me and my friends had to do shifts handing out gifts and wiping the table. At first, there were so many of us to do the job and not much to do. Many were idle, but in the afternoon shift, it was hectic what with the heavy downpour and all. I was soaked all over and my clothes drenched. The pengantin lelaki came around noon. Bile penat kerja kat luar I masuk dalam basuh pinggan plak. Petang baru kitorang balik. Sempat tapau a whole plastic bag of delicious and sweet oranges…hehe..but still, very penat.

Azza’s merc aircond was problematic so she went to the workshop after that. I prayed, had a bath and washed all my drenched clothing. I had a short nap. When I woke up, nibah asked if she and Atiqah could sleep at my room and I said yes so I had to prepare for her arrival. I cleaned my room and then borroed kak miza’s extre mattress.

After isya’ I was looking arranging my notes when Asma came. She told me of her bro’s critical condition. She looked distracted and in despair. She cried and I didn’t know what to do to comfort her besides sit by her side and hold her. Her brother’s suffering from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, a malignant cancer of the lymphatics.

By 11pm, me and Azza went to the Guest House to visit Ustazah Hamidah, Nibah and Atiqah. Kitorang sesat sikit mula2. we invited asma’ along so she’ll be distracted for a while rather than dwell on the problem she;s facing. seronok sangat jumpa ustazah whose 8 months pregnant already. Jumpa nibah pun bes gak. Nibah beselah, byk je cite plus atiqah, then you’ve got absolute chaos. Lame bual ngan ustazah siap makan nasi goreng daging merah. By 12pm , kitorang balik uia. Nibah tak jadi sleep at my room coz the guest house dah cukup bes.

Back at the room, I prayed kejap and then I watched…jeng…jeng…jeng… THE INCREDIBLES. Walaupun ramai dah tgk, tp cite die memang bes. I slept at 3am.
