When i was sitting
in a pediatric ward in HUSM, while writing some notes on my book, a young boy
approached me quietly. He knew that i was writing notes from computer into my
note book. He stared and didn't say anthing.
I noticed him for a
while, and then i turned my head to him and smile.
I said to him,
"What are you
looking for young man?" He was smiling at me and say nothing.
Then I continued
asking him, what is your name? How old are you big-guy?
"My name is
Khairi, 8 years old"
We had some chat
and i noticed that he seems really comfortable/happy/used living in the ward.
So i guess, this kid might being admitted for quiet some time.
"Now tell me,
what happened to you Khairi? Why are you warded here?"
He answered,
"I had stomach
operation, twice"
I was shock! Oh
really? Poor kid. Can i see your scars?
He lifted up his
green shirt and showed me the surgical scar, from right ulbilical region to
left umbilical region, maybe about 10cm long.
He smiled and seems
really fine with the disease.
What happened?
First operation was
for removal of his appendix, and second one due to adhesion complication of the
first surgery. I was really sad at the moment. You are just 8 year-old, but
already undergone 2 major surgeries. You are really strong!
I spoke to him to
be a strong kid, and then we read about Historical Book provided by Pediatric
Department in the ward. His knowledge was good as for normal 8 years old school
boy.
We chatted, and
then i walked him to his mother and i asked further detailed about his medical
and surgical history. It's guiet sad isn't?
Before i left the
ward, i went to his bed again. He was lying still on his bed quietly. Then i
called for his name,
"Khairi, this
Coki-coki is for you. You can eat by tomorrow" He smiled and i walked away
while praying him be patient and syukur of what God has planned for you for
your life journey. His mother was watching us also, she smiled and closed her
eyes back when the conversations over.
Sometimes in life,
we cannot predict or plan most of things of what are going to happen to us in
future. We might be planning to become a strong gentleman and had a good salary
from our job, buy maybe while we were kid, our parents died and we left school
due to financial problems.
Isn't possible?
Yeah for sure.
Be grateful
everyone.
Regards.
