Today.

Today, I was supposed to go to Aimee's school fair.

But I turned that invite down because my Mak Long and Pak Long were going to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary.

But that has been cancelled because this sudden event.

I randomly asked the mother.
"I know it isn't nice to ask this, but did he show any kind of...odd behaviour?"
"No, apparently he was acting normal. But one of his teachers said that he asked about what happens after death and things like that"
"He must have known, but he didn't say anything because he doesn't want to hurt the people he loves"

I've heard so much about premonitions and death, it scares me.

The news came to me on a Monday morning at 6. At that point, I wasn't sure of what I heard because I was drowsy.

I was hoping he'd pull through, but then the mother said it wasn't looking too good as he was brain-dead. It was only a matter of time before he would go.

He had fallen from the staircase and he never regained consciousness.

It is...I don't know what to say.

I've never been this overwhelmed before in my life. Life throws you a brick in the face and most of the times you're caught off-guard.

It is said that if someone passes away on a Friday, it means he will be blessed. I truly believe he will be blessed.

In today's NST, there was an article about it. The mother just said "He's an adorable little boy". I nodded.

He would have been 11 tomorrow.


Everything happens for a reason and I know Allah loves him more. I shall say my prayers for little Ehsan.

Amin...
