A tribute to my Nek Lang [Asmah binti Salim ~ 15 May 1936 - 20 August 2011]

Saturday, 20 August 2011/20 Ramadhan 1432H

Late Saturday night after a full iftar at Delicious, Bangsar Village II with Hani, Rizal, Nizam and family, Mak received a call saying that Nek Lang has just passed away... Innalillahiwainnailahirojiun...

That night my Angah's family was with us. It was the final weekend before they all leave for Terengganu to celebrate 1 Syawal 1432H and they have to come to visit Angah and Nenek's graves.

So it was a sombre Sunday morning with almost all my relatives being there! There were so many people. A show of how much she was loved.

It made me remember the day Arwah Bapak received a phone call saying that Tok Lang has just passed away. I remembered that I was still young, it was during raya, we were in Terengganu and I remembered seeing Arwah Bapak crying. Both my parents love my Tok Lang and Nek Lang. It's a wonder that they both passed on during the holy months of Ramadhan and Syawal.

Mak had made plans to celebrate Raya with Nek Lang this year. I guess it was just not meant to be. Syawal is almost upon us and as usual my annual doa for this Ramadhan would be let it not be my last..

To my Nek Lang. We will miss you deeply. I am glad Fa'ie had the opportunity to remember you and his Nyang. May you rest in peace, Insyallah.

Al-Fatihah..
