Today, in this rainy day i walk alone while all my body is soaking wet.i look around for a shelter atleast to rest for a while and then continue my journey after the rain stop later.
finally i find one prayer place that looks quiet,so i go there and sit.but while i watch the pouring waters is like crying from the skies,suddenly the thunder breaks the darkness around me with a blazzing light..then it reminds me of a few days ago when i crossed one town called Jamwa.
some people gathered in one cemetary and i heard many screaming and crying..saying why u have to go,pls come back,why you leave me alone...i cant bear to live without you..and then some of them saying some prayers.i watched them from a far place coz i didnt want to disturb their important moments.after a few minutes,the people started to make their way returning to their homes.i came closer to the people who still walking and then asked them.atfirst,i only asked where i can find food and a place to stay since im a traveller and a stranger for them.they kindly gave me the info and i thanked them for that and then go to the place they told me.while i sat there in the small corner of this traditional restaurant, i heard some people talking seriously about something,about wht had happened and why people gathered around in the cemetary a few moments ago..
it was the death of two citizens in this town.one of them was a young man that would celebrate his wedding in a week ahead and all the preparation was all set for the wedding but unfortunately he died before he could do that.and it was a sudden death,just because he fell while he entered the bathroom and his head injured until he became unconcious and then passed away.his fiancee and both of their family couldn't believe of what happened.the one who really devastated was his fiancee,she couldnt stop screaming,crying ,saying 'why u have to go?!u promised me that we will spend the life together and that u will not go until we both old'
why u 're so cruel!?!.after that incedent she locked her self for a few days reminiscing his death alone..
the other one was the death of a father whose on his way from other town the place where he earned money for his family,to this town where his family always patiently waiting for him to return.the kids were happy that their father would give them the presents they want as he promised before.they couldnt wait for their father to come home.but again missfortune had fallen on their life,the father got into a street accident.one huge vehicle hitted him,run away just like that and left him bleeding to death.the gifts for the kids was destroyed too.the family couldn't handle this and they grief for him along time since then.
i learned alot of things from this.what happened to them is not only a missfortune,but it was destiny.although it was a very hard moments to deal with.but eventually for sure we'll face it someday.im sure there are a lot more than this two stories happening in our society.we,human, often make promises about everything in our life to keep and achieve.the promises to ourself,to other, to God.but we also realize and sometimes forget that we only make promises,we plan to make it to come true but we all know nothing is 100% guarranteed will be as we want and as we plan before.but God is the One who holds that decision and assurance about our life.nothing is immortal in this world.one day we were brought to this world,born as a holy baby,then grow as our parents taught us,and someday we'll be leaving this world,back to our creator,God.
and after that moment, i remembered what my teacher taught me about this amazing belief.
' we only plan things,make promises,but God decides in the end of what will happen.'
'Death would come anytime,and when its time,nobody can avoid and delay it,or make hurry for it,and it doesnt matter if we're young or old,what matter is only the destiny of our life in God's scenario.'
'this world is only temporarily place we lived in until we died,is like if we're on a trip to go somewhere, we often stop for a while to take a rest in one place before we continue our journey,that place is this world and we wont be staying forever here.'
'our fate of life was already written 50,000years before God created this whole universe and all the creatures,nothing can change the destiny,only prays could.'
for a moment i then close my eyes and take a deep breath and start exploring the fairytale in my dream that freezing and wet night.(signze knight j.1//1/08-09)
