These are the various random things or events, or maybe just some of the simple and pleasurable moments in time that so reminded me of Mak:
Minyak wangi “Santalia”
Ini minyak wangi special Mak. Every time dia bukak almari baju dia masa kat rumah Kuala Aloq dan spray minyak wangi ni, Ndai tau dah – ni mesti nak pi makan kenduri! Dan pada ketika itu jugak lah Ndai akan start pening dan nak muntah walaupun belum naik bas lagi…! Mak juga akan pakai sanggul palsu dia. Ndai tanya one time tu, “Pasai apa Mak pakai benda ni”. “Nak bagi cantik lah…”, Mak jawab. Ya, Mak memang cantik masa tu. I remember walking with her to the bus stop and she held my hand tight; making sure I’m on the safe side of the road. I can still smell the Santalia perfume on her maroon-coloured lace selendang and as I look up to her – there’s the most beautiful woman I ever known.
Wow Ndai.....sungguh indah memori tu.. ya lah , sebagai anak bongsu Mak....mak mesti pimpin tangan kuat2 .. dan naik bas je waktu kan. kak besah ingat lagi selendang maroon mak tu.
