In a great sense of loss


Description:
A hectic week
For a young workaholic like me
Going through the ups and downs in my career
Yet,
I was and still am grateful that I finally managed to be contacted to the person whom I missed the most
from Melaka, basically from Tawau, Sabah, my friend Aristy Wulandari.
She drew my attention towards her for a couple-of-two weeks. We had lost-contact for about a two of
years so.

Chit-chatting; she was at her own, able to get a new job, had been working there for one month, a full-
time wife and a mother of her two sons. Settling her Withdraw-al at our campus.
She's one lucky-tough woman as she could still have the urge to earn a living for her family. Trust no
one; I'm no like her.

I remembered the day she was admitted; and that's a price for her to be married early; a bundle of joy
to be given to her by the Lord God Almighty.
I took care of her and spent the rest of the night by listening to her stories...and sharing.
That's that.

Semesters have passed, years passed and the nights went through just as they were meant to.

I guess, I'd never been tried too hard to be able to stay in touch with her all the time.

And it was about 2/3 weeks ago, we were able to get in touch. Keeping up-to-date with each other's
business. I'd never thought that'd be the last time I could say "see you again".

And one fine morning...at the pinned-point of my living, I received a text stating that ,"our Wulan had
long gone,". Wait, whaa--?

Okay, calm down. Come on buddy, it's not everything that would be turned out into a joke. You're
joking right? It's just few weeks we shared the silliest things together.

Her last text sounds like:


"I have a positive renal failure. It takes 6 months for me to accept this...but I don't want to think too
much about this. Doc said that I cannot be tense because of these; my BP is above 170, automatically
wouldnt be able to bare on studies, and taking an airplane is too risky for me. I'm not that that
talkative, I'd do things solely...away from the world...I become like this..slowly..and only you that
I'm opened to share with," (c/p text April 1st, 2015)

Why didn't I get the her message quickly...and I was so slow-lorry to catch up her main point at that
moment.

I've tried to contact her closest relative; and it was her sister. Claiming that she's in peace with a proof
from a Doc's officiating she was buried on the same day of her death, May 23rd, 2015.

Inhale fresh air, exhale gratitude.


I just couldn't accept the facts that she had been long gone before I knew it.
I wasn't the first to get the news yet I was about the last to know about this.
The saddest part of this tragedy was; I was the only one who knew about her conditions for all this
long..
