Hi,

So the hajj season is coming to an end. Some already back to the arm of their loved ones. Saw few of my friends tweeted that their Mak, Bapak, Makcik and etc were excited to be back and told them lots of interesting stories on what happened during in Makkah, The holy land. Well i have one too. Not as interesting as you expect it to be and also, i was performing umra' when the incident occured which till this date, i still remembered all the details, even the smallest one.

Back then when i still with my previous airlines (Jeddah based) few days after my flight is cancelled, me and few other friends got a chance to visit Makkah to perform umra' which is 1 hour away from our compound. So to cut the story short, we arrived Masjidil Haram.

Semua sedia maklum, Masjidil Haram ada 99 or more? pintu so kita semua masuk ikut pintu berapa aku tak ingat but lepas masuk tu, Abang Ghaz cakap something which aku dengar  as 'nanti dah habis jumpa kat pintu masuk K' as stupid as i am, aku pun angguk jelah. Okay siapa peminat Mastika mesti selalu baca kisah pendosa tak dapat tengok kaabah kan? Ye i was one of those ttakut sangat tak dapat tengok kaabah because i know i'm a sinner. Tapi alhamdulillah lah once dah masuk kaabah depan mata terus macam sebak. So beautiful. Keliling kaabah tak ramai orang pun sebab bukan musim haji tapi cukup ramai untuk sesat so aku dengan Farah Rosli tetiba terpisah dengan group masa buat tawaf. So bila dah habis buat tawaf, bergeraklah nak masuk pergi area Safa and Marwa and again, entah macam mana boleh terpisah dengan Farah. Masa ni memang nak nangis. Ketar lutut kaki. So i waited dekat area before masuk dalam. Kena halau dengan this one arab lady siap kena jerkah lagi. Since muka aku muka melayu asli, that lady maybe tahu i am someone from malaysia lah kot so she said 'JALAN! JALAN! JALAN!' like so many time so aku takde pilihan lain, terpaksa jalan masuk tapi jalan slow. God knows how scared i was. So dah masuk area between Safa and Marwa, aku berdiri kat tepi tangga still cari Farah. Entah berapa lama entah berdiri kat situ tapi lama. Sampai ada rasa nak give up. Aku doa banyak kali so that Allah tolong aku masa tu.

Then miracle happened, tetiba nampak Farah, and we both terus pegang tangan and terus buat Sa'i. Dah settle semua gerak lah balik so i said, jom lah tunggu dekat pintu K. Confident cari pintu K. Takde. Takde ok. Semua pintu dilabel guna nombor. So apa yang K? So it hits me. Maybe aku salah dengar? Masa tu memang speechless lah. Haha. Sebab ni berjuta orang ni macam mana pulak nak cari our group? Since Farah guna simcard Saudi (tapi takde data) so aku bagi idea suruh topup and make a call or aktifkan internet. So we all keluar dari Masjidil haram and pergi nearby telco shop. Tutup youolls disaat2 genting begini. But fortunately tutup for awhile sebab masa tu waktu solat. So we waited. Masa tunggu tu, bincang2 lah, what if takboleh topup? what if ada masalah dengan sim? what if tak boleh topup 10 riyal? (Farah nak topup 10 riyal je sebab dah nak balik malaysia so no point topup banyak2)

So i decided to wait at the same door as the first time we entered as a group. Just incase terserempak dengan our group. Farah tunggu dekat kedai tu. Nak balik macam mana? Alamat compound tak tahu, tahu nama je. Masa ni memang redha and tawakkal je. Dalam hati dah rasa tak mungkin jumpa dalam berjuta2 orang but at the same time i pray hard. Doa akan nampak familiar faces from the group. Trust Allah and nothing can go wrong.

Allah makbulkan doa. After 15 minutes berdiri tepi pintu masuk, Solihin tetiba ada depan mata buat muka pelik. Hoi lega terus. Solihin tegur and tanya buat apa kat situ Kenapa tak pergi KFC? Ye tuan tuan dan puan puan. K yang aku dengar tu is KFC. Aku cuma dengar K je. FC tak dengar. Aku cerita dengan Solihin dia mampu geleng kepala je hihi. So Solihin went straight to KFC sebelah Masjidil haram tu and i went get Farah. Tak ingat reaction Farah macam mana tapi masa kita dua dah jumpa balik dengan our group kat KFC, Farah nangis. Nangis sebab lega kot? Aku biasa je. Walaupun cuak tapi benda dah lepas so malas nak fikir dah. So lepastu we all went to eat at Malaysian restaurant which i sooooooooo expensive. Keropok lekor 4 pieces RM7. Nasi putih with telur masak lemak cost me around 24 kot?


And then baliklah kita semua ke compound menaiki teksi. Thats all. Conclusion, Jangan jadi pekak masa orang tengah cakap benda penting. And pleaseeee set the meeting point after performing ibadah dekat masjidil haram sebab possibilty untuk terpisah dengan group sangat tinggi. So please be careful.
