Abah,
The one that always supported me all the way specially when it comes about my marriage.
17 years ago, as a typical Malaysian Malay man and only worked as a prison officer with Jabatan Penjara Malaysia, he only cried once (when my mom told him that I asked for their permission regarding marriage) and reminded me to be strong for whatever come towards bcuz he knew how society will look at me after all.
I put my hope to the Almighty.
Since then, he never treat my husband badly. Abah accepted him with no doubt. Abah gave him (husband) huge smile on their first meeting instead of investigating him like CIA. Abah always there for us whenever needed (authority stuffs and all) With his full blessings, everything seems easy, by the grace of God.
He fight together with me.
He's my strength.
He's my spirit booster.
He's the one that put his trust in me in whatever I do, the one that confidence with my husband's capability as a leader to our small family.
He has forgiven my mistakes.
Once Abah face racism attack the moment he wanted to register twin's birth certification (back in 2002) and the JPN counter (wilayah complex) officer mocked him,
"Boleh pulak encik bagi anak encik kawin dengan n**** ni yer?",
..and I was waiting inside the car with husband since he's the one that offered to do everything regarding JPN matter and I knew the main reason is because he don't want the insults from the JPN officer.
His answer to them burst me into tears,
"..dah depa mintak elok² cik, takkan kita nak buang anak pulak. Lagipun dah depa sama² nak, jodoh pulak. Apa daya kita nak halang. Depa pun masing² dh besaq. Tentu depa paham kesan baik buruk pilihan depa",
I'm sorry Abah 🙁
For this father's day, I only pray for Abah's good health, peaceful heart, prosperity and wealth bcuz I knew that's all he ever wanted right now.
Abah that loves my daughter without prejudice.
Granddaughter's great fro supporter.
Granddaughter's great motivator as he always tells the twins,
"Toksah la dok down sgt, orang tak dak tengok awak aihhh. Perasaan awak ja tu. Kalau tgk pun biaq pi lah awak unik apa? Tengok rambut sudahla",
..and Abah will smile at them.
My strongest Abah.
I love him #lillahitaala
