Malaysia Part 2
Nae Pikwangchu!!
Sunhee's POV
We're now walking home from SMK Assunta .
My alma mater
BYE-BYE ASSUNTA!!
I'll miss you~~ Chu<3
I waved at my school as the gang has walked in front of me .
Catching up with them , I ran near Amer and walked beside him .
He seems down for a reason.
The others were chatting along happily .
Cece wants to play at the playground which the twins and Minwoo obviously would'nt miss the chance to play around .
As they play on the swings and slides , I climbed on the monkey bar and sat on top of it snapping photos of everyone playing around .
Cece and Minwoo on the swings,
The twins pranking Hana by pushing her off the slide making Benji laugh and Hana pinched his cheeks .
I turned around , realizing that someone is MIA . Missing in action .
Then , someone shook my shoulder making me jump .
I looked and saw Amer beside me .
I hit Amer by the arm .
Sunhee : Oi terkejut saya dibuatnya! (You gave me a shock)
Amer winced and rubbed his arm and said
Amer : Siapa suruh termenung jauh sangat? (Well , who asked you to daydream so far?)
Sunhee : Saya cari awaklah . Awak MIA tadi . (I was looking for you . You were MIA just now)
Amer : Hmmm , okay .
He mumbled while playing with his fingers .
He never has been this quiet .
He's always the moodmaker , my prank buddy and a big brother that I never had .
I decided to break the silence .
Sunhee : So how's Ina?Where is she? She didn't welcomed me back huh?
He stopped playing with his fingers and sighed .
Oh god , please tell me that they have a row again .
Sunhee : Am , is there something that you wanna tell me?
He looks at me with his eyes misted with tears , and blinks to keep them from falling .
Amer : She .... she passed away three weeks before you came home .
He whispered , trying hard not to cry .
I was speechless the minute he said those words .
Sunhee : Am , you're pulling my leg aren't you?
I asked him with disbelief hoping him to say 'Yeah , it's just a joke' and laugh but no , he shooked his head and muttered
Amer : I'm so sorry Sue but this is reality . I still can't believe that she's not in this world anymore
He quickly wiped his tears before anyone can see .
My tears has fallen too .
It can't be .
She called me to wish me luck for my finals .
Sunhee : How?
Amer : What?
Sunhee : How did she-
Amer : Heart cancer
Sunhee : Ey , you never let me finish my question? Pabo ..
Amer : She passed away on the 14 of November at 5:30pm in Assunta Hospital .
Amer's flashback~
I visited Ina in the hospital after soccer practice .
As I opened the door , I saw her sleeping peacefully .
Not wanting her to wake up , I tip-toed gently to her bedside and placed her favourite flowers on the table .
Hydrangeas .
Then , I heard mumbling .
Ina : Amer , jangan tinggalkan aku (please don't leave me)
She was sleep-talking and I see tears in her eyes .
I went to her side and held her hand , whispered to her that it's gonna be alright .
She slowly opened her eyes and hugged me , crying again . I hugged her tightly not wanting to let go .
Ina : Amer ...
She sniffed as she lets go of me .
Amer : Yes , Bam-Bam?
I called her with her nickname 'Bam-Bam' short for chubby in Malay .
Maybe this will be the last time I'll call her that
Ina : I'm scared of dying , I don't want to die yet .
Her eyes were still flooded with tears .
I wipe her tears and said
Amer : Ina , just remember that everyone will die in the end . No one will live forever .
Ina : But I still want to be alive , live my dream ....
Amer : Am tahu (I know )
Ina : Am janji akan sayang Ina selamanya?(Promise me that you'll love me forever?)
Amer : Pinky promise
I said while linking pinkies with her . She lets out a smile and said .
Ina : Do me a favour Am?
She said as she gave me 5 envelopes . I looked at her , confused with the envelopes .
Amer : What's with the envelopes?
Ina : One for each . Green for Benji , Pink for Cece , Purple to Hani , Blue for you and lastly yellow for Sunhee .
Amer : You don't need to do this .
I said holding both of her hands .
Ina : And Am , please don't tell Sunhee about this . I don't want to make her sad during her finals . You know how sensitive she is .
She says with a giggle .
I blinked a few times to keep my tears from falling down .
Ina looked at me and said
Ina : Don't hold your tears for me . That's bad for for your health ya know
Winking at me , she gives me hug and then I cried .
I just can't hold my tears and she cried along for a few minutes .
We both cried for 2 minutes and we both were laughing looking at each other's face .
Amer : I think that's enough crying
I said handing her a tissue and she blows on the tissue , throwing it into the dustbin beside her .
Ina : Am , you have red eyes
She points at my eyes
Amer : The better to see you with my dear
She then pointed at my nose which gets easily red when I cry
Ina : And your nose is red
Amer : The better smell you with my dear
I said tickling her by her ribs making her laugh
Ina : Am , stop it!
Amer : Nu uh ... until you call me 'abang'
Ina : Really Am ?... Comel lah awak ni ... Hahahahahaha , Okay okay abang ... (You're so cute , okay okay darling)
Amer : Now I'm satisfied
I smirked as she pouted .
I took pictures with her so I'll have photos with her
We both say our good nights , I promised her that I'll visit her tomorrow .
She nodded and waved , so did I .
The next day , I was on the way to the hospital until her dad called my phone telling me that she's dying .
Next thing I knew , I was running to her room and ran to her side .
She was smiling at me , her breath going up and down .
She can pass away in any minute now .
I held her hand and she said to me .
Ina : Amer , please say my goodbyes to the gang and Sunhee . Tell her that I wished her luck for her debut . Ask them to read my letters when I'm gone
I nodded , crying and muttered
Amer : Aku sayangkan kau Ina , jangan tinggalkan aku ... (I love you Ina , please don't leave me)
Ina : Maafkan aku Am , aku akan sentiasa cintakan kau . Thanks for the memories . Maaf zahir batin ya Am . (I'm sorry Am , I'll always love you . Forgive me Am)
She said crying as well .
I nodded again and then her breathing is going down .
Amer : Say the kalimat syahadah
I recited the syahadah for her and she followed every single word I said .
And just like that , the love of my life .
Siti Salina binti Ahmad passed away while holding my hand with a smile on her face .
I cried and held her hand that started to get cold .
Her mother cried as well as her dad pulls her into a hug .
At her funeral , I prayed to God that her soul is resting in peace .
Our gang is sad too , especially Hani who looks onto her like a big sister .
Now I just have to tell Sunhee .
End of Amer's flashback~
I just sat there not realizing that I've been crying while listening to him .
Again , I quickly wipe my tears .
Amer : I'll give you the envelope after this alright?
Sunhee : Alright .
I said as Benji called us
Benji : Oi Amer , Sunhee! We're leaving ya two!!
Sunhee : Ah! Wait for us!!
I shouted as we both jumped off from the monkey bar and chase after them .
I sniffed and Kwangmin looked at me with worry .
Kwangmin : You okay Sue?
Sunhee : I'm fine , just a little cold that's all .
He doesn't seem convinced but pats my head and walks beside me .
As we arrived at their house , it's already 5:53pm .
Amer gives me a yellow envelope .
Sunhee : From Ina?
He nodded and said
Amer : Read it when you got home not now ah
I nodded and keep the envelope in my sling bag .
We all went our homes and I quickly went into my room .
The boys just kept quiet . Youngmin and Minwoo went into their room while Kwangmin went into my room with me .
Granmama cooked some steamboat for dinner .
I hid my sadness from the others and joked around with my dad
Sunhee : Dad , it's been a long time since we did this .
I said twisting my chopsticks , and appa looked at me with a cheeky grin
Mr.No : Okay , ready? in the count of three .
Sunhee : 1 ...
Mr.No : 2...
Sunhee : 3!!
We both were trying to grab the last fishcake with our chopsticks
Yup , a chopstick fight .
In the end , Dad was putting it in his mouth and I snatched it right at his face .
I laughed at the twins who were quite blur at the moment .
Eating the fishcake , Appa clapped his hands and said
Mr.No : You improved a lot Lil Prankster .
Sunhee : Thank you daddy .
I smiled at him , and excused myself from dinner.
After I took a hot shower , I went into my room again and opened the yellow envelope .
Inside , there's a letter and a picture of us two ice-skating at Sunway Pyramid years ago .
I opened the the letter and read it slowly
Dear Sunhee ,
I'm sorry for not telling you about my sickness . I don't want you to cry in your finals . If I do , your papers are gonna get wet
Anyways , I enjoyed our times together singing songs together , ice-skating and so on . Those were my favourite moments.I remember when I first dated Amer when we're 13 . You were only 12 , just finished your UPSR .
You pranked me by putting Benji's pet lizard on my head . I bet you were giggling while reading this letter . Aren't I right? I would like to thank you for being a good friend who always support me until the end . Please take care of Amer for me .
Thank you so much for the memories Sunhee .Live your dreams when you have the chance to do so .Be strong for the gang and yourself . I know that you can do it.
Hwaiting!
P.S : If you miss me , just look at sky cause I will be always watching all of you from there ^^Y
From your SISTAR ,
Salina Ahmad
I folded the letter with my eyes beginning to water .
I didn't get to see her before she died .
I took the picture of us ice-skating and stick it by the shelf.
Just then , Kwangmin into the room drying his hair with his towel.
I wipe my tears before he can see it .
I thought he was just gonna go to bed but instead , he came to me and pulled me into a bear hug.
He whispered at me
Kwangmin : Sue , don't bottle up your feelings . I'm here for you ...
At that moment , I started crying with him still hugging me .
Sunhee : I didn't get to say goodbye to her . I feel so bad for not being a good friend .
Kwangmin : Sssh , there ,there Sue . Don't say that . You're a very good friend .
Sunhee : Really?
He nods and pats my head , calming me down .
That night was the first time that Kwangmin has seen me crying .
I've always kept my cool while at Korea not crying to sad news and etc .
As I lay on my bed with him covering me with my blanket ,
Kwangmin : Good night Sue
He whispered as I closed my eyes and he turned to go up to his bed .
Kwangmin's POV
Kwangmin : Good night Sue
I whispered as she started to feel sleepy .
Looking at her sleeping with her blotched face .
Since we got back from the playground , I knew that something's up .
Other than her time of the month , this is the first time I've seen her being so sad .
Remembering what just happened , I just wanted to calm her down even if I don't know what's going on .
It's better if I stayed out of it and wait until she's ready to talk about it.
And I fell into a deep slumber ...
2:58am~
I woke up to someone sobbing .
I looked at my phone , it's nearly three .
Outside the window , it was raining heavily and I can even hear thunder .
As thunder cracks , I hear someone squealing .
It can't be Sue , she should sleeping right now .
I got up from bed and tip-toed quietly to Sue's bed .
I was right , it did come from her .
Kwangmin : Sue? Are you okay?
I stuttered as she unveils herself from the covers , her face painted with frightness all over .
As she sits upfront , thunder strikes again and she hid under the covers again .
I'm not the type who's good in comforting others , so I sat on her bed facing her and slowly unveil the covers .
She's still sobbing but better from just now .
I wiped away her tears and said
Kwangmin : Don't cry anymore , you look like a racoon when you cry
She looked at me and giggled a bit .
Kwangmin : Hey , you laughed .
Sunhee : Really? A racoon? You have got to be kidding me?
Kwangmin : It does okay . You really look like a racoon .
I continued , making her roll her eyes and muttered
Sunhee : Whatever , Sorry for wetting your shirt last night KM .
Kwangmin : It's okay , as long as you paid for it .
I smirked as she made a face and mehronged
Sunhee : Andwae , I won't pay for it .
We both laughed a bit .
Thank god that she's smiling .
I can't bear to see her cry again .
Kwangmin : Wanna talk bout it?
Sunhee : Talk bout what?
Kwangmin : About you crying last night?
She sighed and muttered
Sunhee : A friend passed away . She used to be Amer's girlfriend .
Kwangmin : How did she passed away?
Sunhee : Heart cancer , she died when we're having our finals .
She started to cry again .
I hugged her and pat her head , calming her down again .
Kwangmin : Isn't she the girl who called you at 3 in the morning just to wish you luck?
Still in the verge of tears , she nodded .
Kwangmin : Oh , the rain stopped
I muttered , looking at the window as she lets go from the hug and wiped her tears .
Sunhee : And so is the thunder
Kwangmin : Wanna see the stars?
She nodded again taking her bubble bottles as I opened the sliding door leading to the balcony .
Sunhee : Wow! The sky is clear again!
Kwangmin : One , two , three..
Sunhee : What are you doing?
Kwangmin : Counting them
She look up to the sky and ask again
Sunhee : Counting them what?
Kwangmin : Them stars
I said still counting them , where was I?
Oh , twenty-one , twenty-two...
Sunhee : You're so cute ya know
She giggled as she blew some bubbles .
I feel that my face getting hot .
Shrugging it off , I turned and looked at Sue as she running around popping the bubbles .
I took one of her bubble bottles and started blowing bubbles around making Sue goes popping more bubbles.
Well , as long as she's happy . I'm happy .
