Alhamdulillah my parents dah selamat tiba di Madinah semalam. From the sms sent by my dad, cuaca agak panas but they are very happy. Yelah, hati mana yg tak gembira bila dapat jejak kaki ke bumi para anbiya' kan. Walaupun perjalanan awal ni penuh dengan last minute changes, apa yg penting, my parents selamat mengerjakan ibadah haji dan umrah nanti.

Few days yg lepas, memanglah kami adik beradik sibuk menguruskan barang-barang ayah ibu dan juga kenduri doa selamat. Rasanya since kenduri bertunang dulu, ni la second 'simple' kenduri yg sangat meletihkan...walaupun guna khidmat katering. My parents ada ramai kawan-kawan and although tak ramai saudara mara yg dapat datang (hari bekerja untuk sedara mara di Kedah), kawan-kawan baik ayah dan ibu la yg tolong-tolong uruskan. Until today, badan baru start nak recover letih yg baru terasa.

But yg paling menyayat hati (for me la) when my dad told me to take care of my siblings on his and my mom behalf and if anything happen to them, I'll be the parents and I have to be responsible for them. Although my sis masa tu dah teresak-esak dah, I tetap maintain control la konon but when my dad cakap je macamtu..laju air mata mengalir.

Never before we are not without them...never before we experience the feelings...never before we have to return to empty house...seriously, heart wrenching.

Whatever pun, we hope our parents will be protected by God mercy from any harms and semoga mendapat haji yg mabrur. Amin.
