selamat tinggal buat selama-lamanya

"bila ajal sudah tiba, kita terima sajalah"


what else could be said when there was a sudden news of death?

my coach, en.affendi, also my platoon coach, might not be related to me genetically but his loss was felt as much as the loss of a relative as he treated us just like his own children.

he would usually seen sitting on the table outside the office with both his legs hanging and swinging in the air while he's smoking. he would always be the first to greet cheerfully with a cute broad smile on his face once i reached office.

he was such a soft spoken man even during training. he never scold us even we marched terribly and slept in his law classes instead he taught us with lotsa patience, care and love.

the last i saw him was on wednesday when i sent some cookies and oranges to office. was joking with him and listening to the talk of an aged and experienced man. he just loved to talk and talk and talk....

but tonight, all these remained as memories as he left this world 3-4 hours ago. a sudden attack, just an attack on the heart so easily god grabbed a man's life from us.
may you rest in peace.
