This is for my sister

Hye sis. Used to know your name, I know this, found out some letter having binti with dads name in recipient. Tok penah cakap yang abah rindu anak perempuan. I was so young at that time, I don’t know what‘s that mean. All those puzzling word by nenek telling about your existence. There’s one time some relative asking mom if their son know about you. Remember grandpa death? I recall that to be our last meet. Tired reciting yassin, sleep on coach and dad sneaky out at night fetching you from usm. I woke up at 4a.m. and see you with dad. pergi salam ngan kakak abah kata. In that moment I was knew that you are my sis. I did salam and thought you going to stay for long. U didn’t and gone until now. Want to let you know that dad going to be a big man this Saturday. Mungkin dah kecoh kut kat kangpung. And I know that there are too many things that have been missing without you with our family for the last 20 years. Saya lebel kan post ni hopping somehow maybe akak googling nama saya dan abah. And the rest is in the blogger profile.

I know you are out there.
