Ah Kong
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007When someone is born, people around him/her are Happy and Laugh
and when someone is dead people around him/her will Sad and Cry. My dearest ah
kong just passed away peacefully last week.
I went to my ah kong house after company outing. When I
reach there I saw my uncle and aunty was helping my ah kong to change cloths. I
call him but he didn’t answer me, then I saw tears at my aunty and uncle
eyes….. my gi ku then pull me a side and say “if you see ah kong stop breathing
remember don’t cry and call ah kong let him go peacefully.” My eyes start
watering and I was stun there. I look at my uncle and aunty, then walk beside
ah kong and call him …… I really sad when I know he is leaving us.
Gi ku and Sa ku start phone the rest to come to ah kong
house and I also call my mummy faster come to ah kong house. My tears start
dropping when I see my ah mah help to comb ah kong hair, touch his face,
whispering to him and stare at him. Although ah kong was closed his eyes and
didn’t answer anyone of us when we call him but….. we saw tears drop from his
eyes.
We all start pray for ah kong so he can follow the Buddha to
heaven. My aunties, uncles and cousin start crying……. and my tears also drop
like rain…… then I look at ah mah, she just sit a side… she didn’t say anything……she
just look at ah kong then walk to ah kong and touch his face again. I know ah
mah is more sad than everyone because we all know that they very sayang each
others….
The last time I spoke to him was 2 weeks ago when he
admitted to hospital due to the fucking haze that cause by our neighbor
country. He tell me a lot of stories and things, then he was saying the doctor
told him that his lung is older than his age so he has difficult to breath when
the haze attack. He told me that he tries to let go and follow the Buddha to
heaven, but the Buddha do not want to accept him yet. After hear this I told
him “mai luan chu kong wa lah ah kong. Lu eh boh su eh” then he added that he
can think in this way because he already 80years old and we young people cannot
think in this way no matter what happen also have to be strong.
Ah kong, We will remember what you have told us. We will not
quarrel and we will not give up easily. We will always miss you ah
kong………….
