News don't always come in a good way. After hearing my cousin was missing during his camping trip, I was suprised, but at the same time, I had a feeling that he's already dead. Later that night, I tried to google his name. Then I came across with this particular website stating that the missing body was found. Inalillah; I straight away went to my parents and informed about my cousin's death. The next day, I assumed that the parents knew it as well. But they still want to make sure to see the body first to identify their own son. The body was brought all the way from the United States to KLIA. When I saw a silver coffin, my heart pumped so hard and I just can't bear to see how will the parents react...The press with their cameras are ready to take pictures (they were very disrespectful to the family). After the body has been identifed, it was sent to the mosque near their home to be prayed. The saddest part was, when the parents kissed him on the forehead for the last time. Tears just came out from my eyes while I hold my mum's hand. If I'm already experiencing these emotions, I couldn't imagine how the parents would feel ....it must be hard. After the body was safely burried, I told myself that I could not see him anymore, could not talk to him, even if I wanted to. I regret for the fact that I was never close to him. I regret that I've never had the chance of getting to know him. And I regret that, all this while we could have been be so close because of our same age. May Allah gives you peace, Nublan Zaki Norhadi, amin.
