Unplanned Trip and Sad News

I knew something was not really right a few weeks ago eversince the news of abah (my father in law) being admitted back to IJN(National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur, M'sia). Each time I got back home from uni, kept asking my hubby what's the condition of Abah. Abah already had two of his scheduled bypass in his heart (total sould be triple) just before eidulfitri and he was released few weeks after.

Not for long, he was admitted again. It was told that the area near his leg where the veins were taken for replacing the one in his heart, was not recovered after the operation. His health condition was not too well. On thursday of 13th Nov my hubby's brother Affin calling him to tell about abah worst condition. All of us were preparing for the worst but still have high hope that Abah would survive.

Hope the situation will revive just like in April, where Abah had been first time diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and first time being admitted to IJN and Abah's heart condition was stabilised a week after but he must had regular check-up and at one point the doctors decided to do two stages of bypass operations. Inlaws told us to hold on first due to this aspiration.

On 14th Nov., Abah is in coma still and we had no choice but to take the earliest flight. Sadly, last minute flight booking was always a challenge to get one. Finally we got our bookings done and flew on 16thNov. Sunday. Bad news was that we were stranded for 4hrs due to technical problem of the airplane, finally departed from Sydney around 7 pm and reached KL around 1 am in the morning.

Upon arrival, bad news struck, abah already passed away during maghrib (dawn) and his body already being transported to Johor Bahru for burial. We flew a few hours later to JB to meet hubby's family. Everybody were sad but remain calm. Lots of people came to give their prayings and tahlil to Abah. Hubby managed to involve in the burial of Abah. Feel sorry for hubby of his loss and not able to be at Abah's last breath. This was the fate that we couldn't control, all came from Allah must have some purposes and hikmah. Everyone of us will meet Him one day wether we prepare or not. Alfatihah to Abah, may his soul rests in peace and among the alims.

Abah requested me to take his picture on this very chair on our August trip for Affin's wedding. Never in our mind thought that was our last encounter..
