My good friend from uni (the smiling guy in red) just passed away this morning. It was a shock to me, to say the least. I got an sms from a mutual friend saying that he had just passed away. I had to read the sms a few times for it to sink in. I just couldn't believe it. I immediately phoned my friend and he told me that the news was true. He was in fact at my friend's house, handling the police report with my friend's father and neighbors.
Luckily my appointment with one head of department was postponed, so I took the chance to go see my late friend. So my friends and I met up at a nearby surau and we drove to our friend's parents' house. It was a sad day. The wife was crying the whole time while holding on to her late husband's body. It was heart wrenching to watch. I didn't see their 4-year-old son anywhere. Maybe he was with his grandmother.
I will miss my dear friend. And all the good times we had together. He was a very happy-go-lucky type of guy. He's always smiling and laughing. I pray that his wife and son will be strong to overcome this ordeal.
