Assalamualaikum.
We were in the middle of our school camping programme and were informed that there will be a surprise meeting on the second day of the event. To be honest, I was cursing all the way, because I thought it was not the right time for a meeting. We already line up several activities for the programme. So,having a meeting will only disrupt the flow of the programme.
During the meeting, I can sense something wasnt right. You can sense it by the tone used by our boss while giving his speech. I started to feel sense of loosing. Then, our boss read the letter issued by the ministry. Suprisingly, they listed Cikgu Shahrir, Ustaz Maghfur, Ustaz Kashfi, Cikgu Redzuan, Ustaz Luthfi, and Ustaz Najmi in their redeployment list. It means they were going to be transferred to other schools. All of us were shocked. We were out of words. The news breaks my heart.
It is hard to describe how I feel when I heard Maghfur's name was mentioned. My eyes start to water. Out of nothing I'm going to lose one of 'my bro'. I got out from the room, trying to find him ( he wasnt in the room). At that time, I felt that I need to hug you bro. I am going to miss you really much but you were nowhere to be seen. I walked around the area searching for him with watery eyes. I just can bear it on my own. What is going to happen to our 'football project' bro? Will I hear your crazy laugh again??
I owe you and Cikgu Redzuan a lot. Both of you enlightened my burden since the first day you were here. I can still remember the days when I was working non-stop, Sunday to Saturday for almost two months, just before both of you came here. You both give me time to breathe. Life after both of you gone wont be easy. I'm very sure of that.
Kashfi, even though I'm not that close to you, I felt you were more than a friend. You were the kind of a friend who always shows support and lead by example. I adore you because you are young and bold. I adore the way you motivate people by keep on going, taking chances and risks to raise your lovely small family.
Let me be honest, I don't even had much time to know you Ustaz Luthfi. You were here for a short period of time but I salute your determination to travel all of the way from Tikam Batu to Jeneri every day to teach. Would anyone consider to travel in that kind of distance every day? It takes guts. I'm happy for you because soon you can walk to school. You wont be travelling far again.
Najmi, I'm happy for you too since I know that is what you always wanted. You can start something new. Who knows, there, you can be their brightest stars. I'm used to jokes around you but I mean nothing. I just enjoy seeing you smile, hiding your laugh.
Cikgu Shahrir, I also owe you the most. I meant it. Where can I find a non optionist teacher who enjoys English like I do? You have been here for a very long time, serving the English Panel magnificently. You always crack jokes and never complain when assign to teach English. I might look like that I hate you. Deep in my heart, I felt bless to have someone like you as the English Panel members. You make English around here 'lives'.
I'm in tears.Actually,no words can describe how am I feeling right now. I've lost 6 of my colleagues at once. I believe each one of you will shine brighter, and be the brightest in a different setting, Insya Allah. I miss all of you my brossss...
