Adek..

We were having supper at some coffee shop in Clementi area..
Then this little boy came to us...

"Cik.. nak belik ondeh-ondeh tak? Duer ringgit je.. Kueh kecik kecik pon ader.."
From a worn-out paper bag..he took out 2 plastic packets with small kuehs init.. He laid it on the table..which was at his eye-level.. and waited for our response.. He jus looked at us wif his big eyes..


Izzati then asked the boy where he was from and all those small questions you'd prolly ask a toddler.. And there he was 9 at night.. selling kuehs wif his sister.. he's jus 5 years old man.. I knew Izzati would cry if there wasnt anyone around..

"Adek tinggal mana?"

"Teban.."

"Abeh adek datang sorang?"

"Tak..datang samer kakak.. abeh abang tunggu pat sana tuu hujong sana.."

After we bought his kuehs.. dia sempat tanya...

"Cik...nak plastic tak?"


Adek..
Adek dah besar, jangan jadi macam abang
Adek dengarlah cakap ibu
Adek dengarlah cakap ayah

Adek dah besar.. capai lah wawasan
Adek balas lah jasa mama dan papa

Adek..
Maafkan abang adek..
Dunia adek tak sama seperti dulu
Dunia abang dulu..tiada risau.. hanya ceria
Dunia adek skarang.. hanya kecewa, hanya lara

Adek..
Ini bukan balasanmu adek..
Yang salah adalah kita..

Adek..
Adek janganlah menangis..
Abang tahu abang yang salah..


Abang kata abang risau lihat adek begini
Tapi kata hanya kata, abang tak buat apa apa
Abang kata saja abang akan tolong
Bila ada duit, bila ada masa
Tapi bila adek tiba.. abang buat pura pura

Adek..
Maafkan kami semua..
Kasih sayang tiada lagi..
Kerna kami semua mementingkan diri..

Mama.. kenaper adek tak pegi skola?
Papa.. kenaper kawan adek kata papa jahat?

Mama.. Adek lapar mama..
Papa.. mana mama?


~Adek... adek dah besar.. nak jadi ape?~
