KL Day Trip

Saturday, we headed to KL as early as 8 something in the morning. We planned to leave at 7, tahu sajalah girls, macam itu macam ini, akhirnya mencecah pukul 8. Just the three of us girls. Me, Lin and Mas. My brother and his family left on Friday evening after work.

We stopped at Restoran Jejantas Air Keroh for a while. At about 20 mintues or so and continued our journey. We met our brother at Hentian Nilai (he stayed at his in-law's in Nilai) and from there we went straight to Kajang to see grandma.

Actually, on Friday evening, my Aunt told me that if the Doctor is satisfied with her condition, grandma will be discharged from hospital on Saturday. So, on the way to Kajang, masa my brother called my aunt again, she said that our grandma memang dah nak balik ke rumah dah pun. So we went straight to the house lah.

Lama juga tunggu, rupanya that hospital ada satu ambulance saja. Sabar sajalah, kena tunggu turn pula. Tak boleh naik kereta kerana grandma kena baring.

Our grandma was admitted because she was too weak, demam and all. In addition, she has developed a back sore, dan dah jadi luka yang teruk, hence the surgery. This is the second time dia kena admit, within a month. I guess she was more upset because my Aunt went to Australia with her children and left Grandma with Uncle and the maid. Adalah juga another nenek saudara yang temankan dia. But knowing Grandma, she wants her own child to stay with her.

Okay, kalau nak cerita pasal family, tulis lapan puluh lapan hikayat belum tentu habis. So, back to Grandma, bila dia dah balik daripada Hospital, my Uncle (the one staying in JB) suapkan dia makan mee rebus. The problem is, dia tak mahu makan. Itu yang membuatkan lambat nak sembuh. Aunts and Uncles in KL complained dia tak mahu makan, dan suka berdegil dan refused when people nak betulkan her position. (She has to change position every two hours nak elakkan daripada belakang dia cedera dan luka, Doctor's orders)

But I do not like their tone, when complaining. I seriously do not like it. Mean people. Don't want to say much, but I do not like it at all. Kemudian I cuba pujuk dia makan a piece of chocolate cake. Dia cuma mahu makan dua cebis sahaja. Yes, cebis, that's the word. And I persuaded her to drink plain water banyak-banyak.

I betul-betul rasa nak menangis, meraung melihatkan keadaannya. I am not the kind of person yang mudah dan senang untuk menangis. Terlalu susah. But yesterday, susahnya nak tahan. I do not want to cry in front of her. I do not like to cry in front of orang-orang yang sakit, no matter what. Tak pernah sekali pun. Masa melawat a dying lecturer di university dulu, semua menangis teresak-esak, kecuali myself and the guys. Entahlah I rasa, kalau kita menangis, orang yang sakit akan rasa lebih down and hopeless. So I did not cry yesterday. Not in front of her. Terpaksa besarkan mata dan blink it.. supaya air mata tak keluar.

Lebih sedih bila melihatkan my Uncle yang suapkan Grandma makan. He was so extremely gentle with her. Pujuk, berlembut yet firm. Sepinggan mee, habis disuapnya. I really admire him. And I feel so sedih dan terharu. Berapa ramai anak yang boleh berbuat demikian kepada ibunya these days? Apatah lagi kalau ibunya seorang yang sungguh penyayang, penyabar dan berlemah-lembut dengan anak-anak? That's my grandmother. Seriously, hampir-hampir menitis air mata semalam melihat my uncle and my grandma. May Allah Bless Both Of Them.

Kemudian, I stayed with her for a while, picitkan kaki, berbual-bual and ingatkan dia supaya makan dengan betul walaupun tidak berserlera. Dia mengadu seluruh badannya sakit-sakit. Kemudian dia tertidur. My Aunt said, di hospital dia tak tidur sangat, risau. Itulah my grandmother. Tak habis-habis dengan risau. It is eating her alive. So, kita kena pandai-pandai convince kan dia supaya jangan risau.

When we were leaving - just us, the girls - lagilah susahnya. Grandma kalau boleh nak suruh kami ramai-ramai temankan dia. Tetapi kami memang kena balik. My brother yang stay one more day and balik hari ini. So hari ini dia pergi visit Grandma lagi, with Yati and Anis. Masa nak balik, she was like asking me.. "Nak pergi ke mana?" Her expression was that of disturbed campur marah. I had to tell her that we were leaving for JB. I said, nanti dah sembuh sikit, we will bring her back. That's the plan, cumanya sekarang she's too weak to travel. Our house memang 24 hours ada orang. NOBODY WOULD LEAVE GRANDMA ALONE WITH THE MAID.

We left the house at about 6 pm and went to visit our cousin. We parted ways from our brother at nearly 8 pm. Dia balik Nilai dan kami ke JB. Hujan sepanjang jalan. Terpaksa drive perlahan-lahan. We reach JB at around 12 something.
