Sudah lama saya tak dengar azan berkumandang each time masuk waktu sembahyang. Nampak orang-orang berkopiah putih masuk masjid. Oh, rindu tengok orang pakai kopiah putih, berbaju melayu, berkain pelikat (kain sarung).
Tiba hujung minggu, balik kampung belah abah, buka puasa dengan tuk dan tokki. Makan nekbat, akok, puteri mandi tuk buat. Hujung minggu seterusnya balik kampung ibu, buka puasa sana pulak. Dekat-dekat nak raya, mula buat kuih raya. Malam raya paling sibuk kipas sate, sembang, catch-up dengan saudara-mara, bakar mercun, bunga api. Then, there goes 1 Syawal. Berlumba pergi masjid awal sebab nak saf depan. Saf belakang nanti tak khusyuk sangat budak-budak ramai. Cium tangan abah, ibu pagi raya.
Semua sejarah ini saya expect untuk saya lalui lagi tahun ini since dah balik Malaysia for good. But there's something that is really 'good' just happened. It was so good that it grabbed all my moods today. Tak semangat langsung nak belajar.
I've been waiting for so long
For the miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Cuti yang hanya sebulan terpaksa dipendekkan. We supposed to register on 24th September or somewhere around that. Means we supposed to have a month and plus plus days of holiday. But, since the H1N1 epidemic in Malaysia is suspected to have a high peak of attack on mid of August, a lot of things in Melaka campus must be postponed and rescheduled. So we, the so-called-the-energetic-batch-20 (as said by orang-orang tinggi MMMC) must register earlier than that, that is... before Hari Raya, reducing our precious days of holiday. Okay, cuti tak sampai sebulan.

The proposed date is either on 7th or 14th of September. Sure we want the latter. But then, when THE MAN said that our Hari Raya holiday for this year is only 2 days, I was like petrified. Not that I was happy. It was another way around. Apekah? Bukan tak bersyukur punya nikmat raya yang 2 hari itu. Tapi mampukah ianya menggantikan air mata yang dah 2 tahun tak raya dengan cara biasa? It is something that I've waited for so long. Something that I've looking forward patiently before. Plus, patutkah mereka menyeksa penduduk bukan Melaka macam saya untuk mulakan journey on malam raya ke-2 (paling lambat) all the way from Terengganu? God knows how tired it was to have a very long journey. And oh, they said they expect a 100% attendance from us in Melaka campus. Are they trying to abuse our mind?
Sadistically, when it comes to voting moment, the 14th September won. Bertambah sebak saya.
Lama juga saya ambil masa fikir ayat macam mana nak bagitahu ibu akan hal ini. Saya cakap saya balik ni cuti sebulan je. Ibu dah cakap, sekejap sangat. Mahu bagitahu cuti pendek itu satu hal. Ulang-alik dalam tempoh pendek itu satu hal. Lagi tak sampai hati nak cakap raya sehari je.
Akhirnya saya cakap rasa gundah ni kat abah. Dengan cool nya abah jawab. ' La.. takpelah dah sampai Malaysia pun. Tak susah dah. Kalau susah kat India tu memang betul-betul susah nak usaha tolong. Kalau setakat kat Malaysia ni takde masalah abah pun boleh je nak hantar berpuluh kali pun takpe, bila-bila masa, tak kira la hari raya pun. Abah tak kisah.'
That's it. Abah yang tak pernah nak berhenti dari menyusahkan dirinya untuk anak-anak. Ah, our perfect moment have been stolen again!
