tsunami conversation
scene: in the living room last nite where mak's doing her housechores while ayah's 'beleking' the newspapers. Meanwhile, me sipping my drink sambel watching the tv nearby .
ayah: "orang skarang dah tak makan ikan dah"
mak : "ha'ah, memang.."
ayah: "yerlah, orang takut ikan2 tuh ader yg mkn bangkai2 manusia"
me : (menyampuk) "ada orang2 yg kutip ikan2 yg terdampar kat tepi pantai n jual kat kedai"
ayah: "orang sekarang makan sardin jer"
me : (listening silently sambel teringat kater mak yg intend nak masak sambal ikan today. ader sedikit musykil dan gusar di situ)
mak : (came to her defense abruptly macam faham2 jer aper yg danesz fikir)
"Eh, ikan tuh mak beli before TSUNAMI yer!!"
me : (tersembur air yg diminum tahap skala kecil-kecilan karena tergelak dgn hyper)
mak dan ayah terus terkejut dengan tingkah laku anaknyer
ayah: "huda, buat ler bersabar-sabar sikit" (dengan suara ala-ala gentle)
UWAAAA, mak mmg psikik la...
al-fatihah untuk mangsa2 tsunami. Allah tarik nyawa kita bila-bila masa jer kan? be aware and be prepared.
