I was waiting for no reason - actually to recall back what I am supposed to buy before I'm off home, when Omar waved his hands from afar, seeking for a conversation. I just stood there, and pondered - was there anything that I promised him, but has been forgotten?
"...Salaamualaykum!"
"Alaikumussalam.... shaikh barak? Aina anta wein?"
"Bikhair... wa anta?"
"Bikhair aidan faqad..."
"So what brings you here?"
"Oh I just want to ask you, what are going to do for your summer?"
"Errmmm.... I'm going back, and there gonna be many things to do! (laughed), you know, my cousins relatives and all, juniors, a bit of studying I guess (laughed again)"
"I see. Hmmm... just to have a check with you. Ermm I'm still thinking about doing a research over here mmm... its gonna be good, but 8 weeks... huh... I don't know (shrugged)"
"8 weeks? Wow... you are sure a really busy lad"
"I am just worried I can't do... errr... read, erm... you know the kitab and all that..."
"Masya Allah brother, you mean thafaqquh or something like that?"
"Yeah yeah... and 'Abadi... you should do that as well..."
"Insya Allah... hmmm..."
Thafaqquh?
What say you?
Flashback - 2 years back, when I was meeting with my advisor, Pak Ibrahim up in the KLCCC, advised the same thing. Same goes with Kak Rashidah Bahaman. I wonder how are they right now.
