hampir 2 minggu aku demam. 5 hari di rumah, 5 hari di hospital. aku kena demam denggi buat kali kedua. doctor kata, denggi aku kali ni lagi teruk sebab aku dah pernah kena sebelom ni. history aku kena denggi ialah pada tahun 1998. rupenya virus denggi tak pernah hilang pon dalam badan, dan bila aku terkena buat kali kedua, denggi aku lagi teruk. Platelet turun dengan sangat mendadak sampai hanya tinggal 16. normal Platelet level bagi manusia ialah 150.
masa doctor bagitahu level platelet aku hanya 16. aku dah mula risau. aku cuba lihat reaksi doctor, mana la tahu ada sign2 yang boleh aku pickup untuk detect sesuatu. tapi aku tahu, doctor dilatih untuk selindungkan perasaan sebenar mereka supaya pesakit tidak risau dengan apa yang sedang berlaku.
aku risau sebab baru beberapa jam yang lepas, platelet level aku ialah 69 sebelom aku dimasukkan ke dalam hospital. dan setelah periksa lagi, platelet aku hanya 16. pelbagai perasaan wujud ketika tu. hati aku bercampur. dan aku hanya pikir mati. tapi pada masa yang sama aku rasa takut. sebab aku tahu, banyak lagi dosa perlu aku bertaubat dan banyak lagi ibadah yang perlu aku tunaikan. terlalu banyak.
sebelom ni, aku sering dengar berita denggi berdarah dan mereka mati akibat virus ni. rupenya, tiada ubat bagi virus denggi. cuma perlukan minum air banyak2, dan cuba naikkan level platelet kepada normal.
doctor2 yang ada tidak begitu informatif, banyak benda aku rasakan mereka rahsiakan dari pengetahuan aku. tapi takpe, itu kerja mereka. aku sempat bertanya pada seorang doctor lelaki. beliau memesan supaya aku tak melukakan anggota badan, sebab ketika platlelet sangat rendah, nanti darah tak akan berhenti sebab tak cukup platelet untuk membantu hentikan pendarahan.
aku hanya mampu minum air. dengan badan menggigil, sendi2 yang sakit, sakit belakang dan perasaan bercampur aduk. aku hanya mampu berdoa di dalam hati supaya Allah menyembuhkan aku dengan cepat.
botol yang di isikan air di tukarkan nurse melalui wayar yang disalurkan ke lengan aku. pada masa yang sama aku kena menelan sebanyak mungkin air supaya demam aku cepat sembuh. walaupon air biasa berasa sangat pahit. beberapa hari aku tak makan.
pendekkan cerita, dalam 5 hari, platelet aku melebihi level normal. doctor mengistiharkan 'the magic words', "ok..harini awak boleh balik"..aku mengangguk, tapi yang sebenarnya, aku mengucapkan "Alhamdulillah" di dalam hati.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
maut. bila-bila masa sahaja ia akan datang. kali ni kali kedua aku diambang maut. perasaan itu masih sama. takut. yang pertama kali aku berhadapan dengan maut ialah di sebuah air terjun dan yang kedua ialah berkaitan denggi.
hidup atau mati. semua orang akan laluinya, sama ada kita sedar atau tidak sahaja akan kehadirannya. aku sering ingat mati, tapi bila berhadapan ia pada tempoh hari, aku masih belom sedia, betapa takut wujud dalam hati, dan meminta Allah memberi aku peluang teruskan lagi hidup untuk melakukan banyak lagi ibadah kepadaNya. tidak sedikit pon aku mahu membayangkan neraka. gambaran itu amat menakutkan.
musibah kali ini, banyak mengajar aku erti taqwa. aku lebih insaf. aku lebih pasrah. mati itu pasti, ia milik Allah. bila-bila masa sahaja Allah akan memanggil kita. tapi adakah kita sudah sedia? tepuk dada tanya hati.
wallhua'lam.
p/s: terima kasih kepada orang2 tersayang dan rakan2 yang sering mendoakan aku sembuh, tq :)

Last Poem by Imam Ghazzali
Imam Ghazzali (ra) who wrote in his Tahsin al Zunun:
Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead,
Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow
Do not believe that this corpse you see is my self.
In the name of Allah (swt), I tell you, it is not I,
I am a spirit, this is nothing but flesh
It was my abode and my garment for a time
I am a treasure, by a talisman kept hid,
Fashioned of dust, which served me as a shrine,
I am a pearl, which has left its shell deserted,
It was my prison, where I spent my time in grief.
I am a bird, and this body is my cage.
From which I have now flown forth and it is left as a token,
Praise to Allah, Who has now set me free.
And prepared for me my place in the highest of the heavens.
Until today I was dead, though alive in your midst.
Now I live in truth, with the grave clothes discarded
Today I converse with the saints above
Now, with no veil between, I see Allah face to face
I look upon the Lawh al Mahfuz and therein I read,
Whatever was and is and all that is to be.
Let my house fall in ruins, lay my cage in the ground,
Cast away the talisman, it is a token, no more.
Lay aside my cloak, it was but my outer garment.
Place them all in the grave, let them be forgotten.
I have passed on my way and you are left behind.
Your place of abode was no dwelling place for me.
Think not that death is death, no, it is life,
A life that surpasses all we could dream of here,
While in this world, here we are granted sleep,
Death is but sleep, sleep that shall be prolonged.
Do not be afraid when death draws near,
It is but departure for this blessed home.
Think of the mercy and love of your Lord,
Give thanks for His grace and come without fear.
What I am now, even so shall you be,
For I know that you are even as I am.
The souls of all men come forth from Allah,
The bodies of all are compounded alike
Good and evil, alike it was ours.
I give you now a message of good cheer
May Allah's peace and joy for evermore be yours.
Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead,
