Ayahku (Part IV)

After mama rushed back home in Saffron, she saw ayah almost out of breath. He was supposed to be in the hospital but he insisted to go back home.  Mama was worried. 

"Terima kasih sebab jaga anak-anak dengan baik, ma"

"Laa. Anak you anak I juga. Kita jaga sama-sama, kan?"

"Nanti you jangan duduk sini tau. You balik duduk dengan Charlie. Dia akan jaga you. Dia anak yang baik."

"Kenapa you tak nak duduk dengan I dah ke?"

"I nak balik.."

"You nak balik mana? I nak ikut."

"Tak boleh ma, I balik dulu."

And not too long later, he took his last breath, in her arms.
