Cinta

Kita cinta tulus dan suci
Kita cinta dari hati
Kita cinta dalam sekali
Kita cinta sampai mati

Wahai hati janganlah gundah
Segala takdir sudahbermadah
Cinta kasih itulah indah
Kenangan kita sampai ke sudah

I really appreciate old couple’s love.It touched me deeply on how they can stay in love for such a long period and yet still so deep. Every morning as I park my car near the office, I will anticipate seeing an old couple walking together. The hubby will walk with a help of a chair-like grip cane (ouch, I’m so bad at describing this) and they will walk slowly silently and at one time I caught them while they were looking at each other smiling. Content. It was written all over their faces.

Gen’s uncle, Pak Lang has been in and out of the hospitals since his stroke in August 2007. Mak Lang never leaves his side. He tried to put a happy face and appear brave and finally sicknessand medication wears him out. When he cries, Mak Lang will always wipe his tears away, whispering encouragements, soothing him and telling him everything will be alright.

Last Friday the doctor confirms that he had a blood clot at the back of his head. Today Alyn was text-ing methat Pak Lang has loosen his grip on reality, and he kept saying that his time is almost up. He stares into space and he cannot recognize people around him. He even talked nonsense and cried even louder.

“Mak tak nangis tapi airmata tak renti renti keluar” she text-ed back when I ask her how Mak Lang was doing.

What kind of love that we really had, Gen?
