From My Best Friend...

Amrullah Hakim, or normally I'd call him "amrul", has been a good friend of mine since highschool years in Jember, somewhere in East Java. This energetic and talkative guy has never shown any declinations towards positive activities at our school. We were a match in school organization. It might not be the best pond to learn, but I feel we are good friends since then. We went to the same universities and shared the hostel for some time. From there, I could say that we have built a deep understanding on the importance of life, religions, education, friendship and brotherhood.

He got married with my schoolmate Dwi Lian Muttia few years back. This nice young girl was known as a calm fellow, soft-spoken person and what I felt, as her friend, was warmness of her presence. I rarely have found her had an argument with people. I know the reason: she might have been realized that words must only be pronounced in humble and truthful manner. Simply, I affirm that this couple is a truthful relation too.

As we know, God may have his own will and reason. It's sometimes awkward to understand his reason, but at least we try. His fate may not be acceptable for some people, but nothing we can do about it when it suddenly appears right on our face. All we can do is bow and pray: praise Him so He will give only the best to all of us. It's absolutely absurd. God eliminates someone we love, and we must be prepared for it. Definitely we need extraordinary patient to overcome all the pain.

It's been 100 days that Amrul's wife, Dwi Lian -- our beloved friend, has passed away. Something extraordinary happens: I still feel that she is among us. God may take care of you in heaven.
