With his forehead on his folded arms resting on his table, my friend seems to be taking a short nap.
Quite unlike him I thought.
It was already 6pm and it was still raining.
About 30 mins later, he woke up, paused, turned to me and said 'Just now, I wanted to call my mom to inform her it was raining'.
It was then that I noticed his eyes were already red and a little swollen.
His mom had passed away on Jul 31, 2007.
For a moment he had forgot about it or perhaps his mind chose not to register this painful fact.
His mom passed away in another country, they (mom and dad) were on a trip to visit relatives.
Its even more painful when you don't get to say your goodbyes.
He tells me that nowadays on weekends he always visit his dad in Negeri Sembilan.
My friend seems to be in a daze and his mind elsewhere.
Today he sms me at 7am and inform me he is on medical leave.
