We got invited by Hadiki's mom to pay him a visit today after lunch time. He was our classmate in UBD TESL course 99/03 till that fateful day in November 2002 when he got a stroke all of a sudden. It happened after he had his sahur in Ramadhan, spotted by his little brother. Hadiki is never the same since :'(
We miss him dearly. The last time we visited him was 6-7 years ago. We had always wanted to pay a visit but time had always been a problem. Louie and Mas usually shared with us his latest updates, especially on his health.
Hadiki I remember was full of life, ideas and jokes. He was the clown of the class :D I have always thought of what a funny guy he was. Once, I was waiting at the CLT area when he drove passed us. He screeched to a halt when he realised books and papers flying away from the top of his car. He had left them there and drove! I couldn't help my self that I laughed at him non stop! He had to shhush me! And he was all blushing hehehe :P He also planned to make an announcement on 29th February that year that he was open for proposals by the female students in the campus LOL!
Hadiki was also a true friend when I was in need. I remember we talked about so many things. We once talked about long distance relationship, which he believed wouldn't work. Also when I was sad, he was there for me saying that I should be tough when having trials as such. He said he believed in me. That was the nicest thing a guy friend could ever say :')
Today, we talked to him and like he did before with Louie, he responded to us too! He cried! :') That's an improvement, alhamdulillah :) We all hope he will be more improved in future gatherings :) We want him to know that we still remember him and care for him..
Hadiki, we love you pal. You will always be in our hearts. Always :')
PS: Hadiki's mom texted us tonight, saying how thankful she was for us to come visited her son. The line that touched me was when she said: "We will never know how lonely his world is." This brought tears to my eyes :'(
mina, still? like me jua tu. sure you can dear :) *hugs*
zul, sometimes we need to have that skill to get things done. if we just let them be, they'll take us for granted. i'm sure you hate that more than having your spitting cobra talent ;)
PS: After marking right up till 6.30pm, I had dinner with my sister as we skipped lunch yesterday to meet our marking quotas. Though we're living under the same roof, in fact, our rooms are just next door to each other, we seldom sit down and talk like we used to. So we did some catching up on updates and stuff. When it was my turn, I shared my recent tragedy. Her comment made me laugh. She said: Your life is so full of drama! She's right. And I never asked for it ...
