This WFH reminds me to 2 weeks school break when I was a student. Liburan semester normally 2 minggu. One of the most memorable school break itu liburan kenaikan kelas dari kelas 2 ke kelas 3 SD, 2004. Why? Karena 2004 adalah turning point untuk banyaaaak kejadian dalam hidup(ku as a child). 

Itu kali terakhir I spent my school break with my healthy grandpa. The last time I was a citizen in that crowded city. The last time I played with my uncle. Living with my grandma. Sleeping among the hot weather. 

It was two weeks, just like this. I remember how I 'ngerepotin mereka' selama 2 minggu. Aku bahkan ingat letak barang-barang di rumah itu yang sempit. Aroma rumah itu. The toys I played. That 'congklak' I played with my grandma. That 'tebak-tebakan garing' I laughed with my grandpa. And that cartoon marathon with my uncle. The songs we sang. The hypermarket we went on foot. The stationary I bought. That pretty pencil case, beautiful teddy bear book, what else? The failed plan of buying new school bag ended up with the old one. 

Seems like yesterday when I realized that my grandpa just loose his fingers. Two of them. Accident. Don't ask me why or how. I don't know. Oh him. I should send him an Al Fatihah. 

Before his gone, I visited hime once. 2009 or 2010? Sitting in front of his house, on 'bale'. He showed me his bunch of 'akik'. With his unclear sounds. Something had attached his tounge. Disease. He could not speak clearly at that time, till his last day few years later. 

I didn't spent the night with him that day. Then, I heard the news of his last breath when I was a first year student in uni. 

He was remembered well in my heart as a humble person. A kind person. A lovely person. I know him as a funny grandpa. Yaa, rest in peace Engkong Ok Yan. You will always be missed.
