Tutt.. my black Samsung Champ rang to alert me that I had
gotten a message. It was from Izzat, the best buddy ever although for two years
I never ever have a chance to hang out with him except for the last month. He
told me that he came to Kelantan for General Election days off. My prayer was
fulfilled.
He managed to came back and I had chance to bring him to the place that I really eager him to see. Lata Tembakah, the most magnificent picnic port ever. He will stun for looking at the view of the most beautiful panorama of the waterfall there. Seriously, my eyes forgot to blink for seconds when I first saw the view of Lata Tembakah. What a beautiful place. Very stunning one. Then, I planned a picnic to entertain him and wanted to make him never forget the picnic for entire of him life. I came out with the idea of making a barbeque there with budget of rm80. Burger meat, sausages, Twister, chicken to grill and some tools for the picnic. What an economic spending.

I fetched Bad at the morning. For real,
he hadn’t changed a lot – noob for short. Despite to welcome him, I asked for
the grill to use for barbeque. He had it. Then, we went to Pangkal Kalong where
Arman’s house is but he wasn’t permitted to join us by his mum. Never mind,
maybe next time he would. So, I drove straight to Kok Lanas for margarine – the
last ingredient to buy to apply during grilling the chicken. We stopped at
Jelira Market and met Amirul there. He was working when we met him and warmly
welcome us with hug. Well, I haven’t seen him for two years. We talked for a
while. I planned for a visit to my homeroom teacher house with him as soon as
the General Election done. He agreed. It will be fulfilled soon.
We went to Bukit Merbau for Amir, the
next member to join. Then, we fetched Raznan at Bukit Abal. They are funny as
usual. We talked much about ourselves. Amir works at canteen in the school
nearby with some old friend of mine. He is kindly happy with the work. For
Raznan, he will register for Form 6 soon. Well, I felt quite jealousy and
stupid for what I am now. Stuck at home with self-unemployed and doing nothing
to improve myself. Perhaps, updating my blog would make my days better. We left
Raznan at the workshop for his motorcycle. We will ride there because he cannot
leave his motor there for too long. Then, we went off to Machang for Izzat.
He looked fatter than before. I guessed
his mum feed him well (HAHA). He talked too much during we set about the
journey to Jerteh for Lata Tembakah. The presence of Bad makes him laugh much.
I guessed my plan worked well. Well, I can’t make him and the others happy
because I don’t know how to make them laugh. That is my disadvantage and I feel
bad about it. In my silence driving mode, I smiled in my tiny heart. Izzat and
the others laugh cured the wound perfectly. I felt invisible for a while and
most likely I was watching them enjoyed the conversation through the mirror. My
lips were curling. At edge of my heart I wanted to laugh with, but I disabled
to. Hearing the laugh would be enough for me to resemble a tiny deep core of
pure happiness. I owed it.
2.30pm-Hutan Lipur Lata Tembakah. We walked for 800m to the most stunning waterfall ever-our picnic site. We brought along our stuffs and ever jumped over the high rocky cliff across strong current of waterfall. For Raznan, he can’t extremely overdo it. He had involved in an accident months ago. So, I accompanied him to swim over the waterfall pond with depth of twice my height. The pond was green I even cannot see the bottom of it. Then, we started to set our site. We grilled the chicken first then some us went to swim at waterfall pond. I was likely happy to see they enjoy swimming. They made me never stop smiling with their action, Izzat and Bad of course. They made a few funny pose to snap photos. Most likely like children, Izzat for sure. He ever climbed the dangerous rock nearly the waterfall to jump into pond, again and again. I ever felt hesitated and worried that he might slide over the sharp rocky area due to the slippery rock surface. Well, I have to responsible for all the unfortunate accident that might happen. They also took a picture under the water by using Sony Experia X of Bad. That was exactly awesome. They looked so funny when having some snaps in the water.

Then, we went for the barbeque. I made the barbeque spices by my own and I worried if it tasted awful. But, I heard no complain from them. HAHA, the spices worked and I never thought it tasted well. Even Izzat ate 4 pieces of chicken. They wolfed down all the foods and I thought maybe I should leave them to satisfy their appetite – took some swim at pond.
The sky was getting dark. Perhaps it was the time to go home. We packed the things and got back to other side of the stream. I really hope that they will never forget the moment just now. It was the only thing I afford to do. Perhaps that moment will remind them to me. Well, I will move to Kuala Lumpur soon for 5 years and I’m afraid that they might forget me when they hang out with their new friends, Izzat perhaps.I sent them back to their home respectively. The last person to send was Izzat, of course. During I was driving to send him home, we talked much and I even overdrove and missed the junction of his way home. 8.30pm, his mum was too worry about him. Well, I safely sent him home then made my way off.
I drove home. In car at a busy highway with no one accompanied me except for myself. Silent but annoyed by the sound of car engine. Where the laugh gone? In the deep inside my heart there was me alone right now. I missed his voice much and perhaps only the voice of laughter. No matter how happy I was just now, it was about myself and I was happy for them because they enjoyed the picnic. What resembled me on that time? Was I happy or unhappy with them? And then Izzat’s words 2 years ago haunted me back “set your mindset, Yoel.” I already tried Jak, but I can’t. I sorry
