5 years ago, Ma Ma (Grandma) left us. I remembered around this time....12++am, I reached home no one around..I waited till nearly 4am laybin, bowtie & ah boy came home. "Where have u been?? You know Ma ma is in the hospital...very serious the doc asked everyone of us to go hospital to prepare for the worst.." Well, I was at the cinema watching Harry Potter & my mobile was OFF. I was speechless...Please I told myself, Dun let history repeats....I havent got the chance to say goodbye to 姑丈...this was one of my worst regrets in my life. Please...hang on mama. I can't sleep the whole nite..I believe NO one in the family could.
The house phone rangs...at 6++am, we are prepared for the worst. My uncle asked all of us to rush to the hospital.
Our family is among the last few who reached SGH. ALL of them were already seating at the lobby of that ward. 大姑媽, my aunties, cousins were all in tears ......
"She gone already" my uncle told us....
My laybin...started breaking down...then me.
It had been 5 years...but, whenever I thought of Mama & 大姑丈....I still feel the ache ...
I never know what is call death until they left me.
Now, thats something I will never ever do ....NEVER off my phone in the cinema. If one ph is oFF the other MUST be ON. On the other hand, I learn to treasure my every moments with my 95 ys/o 爺爺 & 大姑媽.
