Allahyarham Nazri ...... Mekah 2005M / 1426H

We went to the mosque for Zohor and was hoping that one of the jenazah would be Nazri's. Noor was near the Kaabah. He had followed the officials from Tabung Haji and after solat Zohor, he managed to follow the bodies for burial. Noor stayed near the Tabung Haji officials and quickly volunteered to carry the bodies knowing that it was Nazri's because he was the only Malaysian at that time. It was just fated that he was given the opportunity to go along as he managed to get a few pictures with his handphone. It was a privilege for him as no outsiders were allowed to go there.

 Omayah was a little bit happier that she could see the photos. At least she saw where Nazri was buried. She had a sense of letting go. They took her to the cemetery but she was not allowed to enter the graveyard. Women are not allowed. She could only said her farewell through the glass windows. After 6 years, we still kept in touch and being the eldest in her family of 3 sisters, I was like an elder sister/friend to her. What she couldn't talk to her lawyer friends or her sisters, she talked to me.

She has her own law office dealing with property and syariah cases. She was the one who roped me in to the tafakkur-addin class at Kolej Insaniah. Once in a while we would go shopping together or have high tea to catch up. She has 3 school going teenage boys. Busy but never busy for our friendship. Semoga Allah swt memanjangkan dan mengeratkan lagi ikatan ukhuwah dan silaturrahim antara kami. Amin.

I am in her life as it was destined to be. Maybe for a reason, a season or a lifetime. But, for whatever reason, it was meant to be. May we enrich each others' lives and make a difference. InsyaAllah. Whatever the outcome may be, it is nice to think and reflect that we have been a part of each others' lives and become more wiser because of it.
