Surat Along Untuk Mak
“Along tolong letakkan semua barang ke bilik
belakang dari dalam kotak biru” jerit Mak dari dapur.
“Okay Mak. Along dah buat separuh dah ni,
nanti habis Along bawa ke depan” jawab Along sambil mengangkat buku-buku yang
bertaburan di atas lantai.
“Ada kasut Mak ke dalam ni. Ni mesti Mak lupa,
beli kasut lepas itu lupa letak entah mana” Along mengomel sendirian.
Along memegang kotak kasut tersebut dan
merasa hairan kerana terdapat banyak lagi kotak kasut yang hampir sama rupanya.
Lalu Along membuka penutup kotak kasut tersebut dan kelihatan sampul surat
bersaiz 4x9 tersusun dengan rapi. Sampul surat tersebut juga kelihatan berwarna
perang seperti sudah lama tersimpan. Along mengambil satu sampul surat tersebut,
lalu dibukanya sehelai kertas berwarna biru dan berbau harum. Along membuka
sampul surat itu dengan perlahan.
“Surat cinta ke ni, surat cinta mama kepada
abah ke?” bisik Along perlahan dan mula membaca.
Kehadapan mak yang dikasihi,
Mak apa khabar, Along doakan mak sihat hari-hari, pagi
petang, siang malam. Along doakan mak sihat. Mak masak apa hari ini, ikan
Tenggiri Sambal.? Along suka sangat sambal mak. Dekat sini Along tak boleh nak
masak hari-hari sebab tak sempat. Kadang-kadang along beli je nasi
bungkus, tapi mana la sedap jika nak
dibandingkan dengan masakan mak. Terutama sambal mak yang sangat sedap dan
membuka selera. Hari ini kan mak, kat pejabat along ada jamuan raya, bukan hari
ni je mak, nak dekat hari-hari ada jamuan raya. Along hadir mana yang sempat
je. Mananya sempat mak, Along selalu ingat pesan mak, kalau dekat pejabat waktu
kerja tu mesti catit berapa minit along keluar sebab along kena ganti balik
waktu yang along keluar tu dan ganti lepas pukul 5 petang nanti. Mak kan selalu
ingatkan along, yang kita kerja ni kena ikhlas dan jujur mesti ada integriti.
Tak boleh mengelak dan mengular waktu kerja nanti tak berkat. Along ingat
sangat pesan mak.
Minggu lepas kan mak kawan-kawan along kat pejabat ternampak along catit waktu keluar dan masuk bila along keluar minum pagi. Along tak
sempat bawak bekal, diorang tanya kenapa mesti tulis.? Mula-mula tu along tak
nak cakap sebab nanti ada yang marah. Lepastu bila dah didesak akhirnya, along
cerita pesanan mak tu kat diorang. Diorang terkejut tau mak, ada yang tergaman
bila along cakap begitu. Lepasa tu, lepas dari hari itu ramai je yang along
tengok yang buat macam along. Setiap kali lepas diorang keluar minum pagi atau
petang diorang akan tulis dalam buku nota. Setiap hari along tengok diorang
habis kerja sampai pukul 6:30 petang. Ini pun waktu tengah hari rehat pun cuma
sejam. Tu yang along tengok pukul 2, diorang dah ada kat meja pejabat. Sebelum
ni kan mak, ada je alasan diorang masuk balik kerja pukul 2:30 petang dan ada
yang pukul 3. Telefon kat meja diorang tu mak, asyik berdering-dering je bila
pukul 2. Along pulak tak sempat nak tolong angkatkan telefon itu sebab along
pun tengah layan orang yang nak tanya itu dan ini kat telefon along. Kesian kan
orang yang telefon tu kan mak.
Kadang-kadang Along terfikirkan mak pasal mak
bagitahu Along pasal semua orang yang anggap orang yang kerja kerajaan asyik
keluar minum je. Along rasa macam tercabar. Betul kata mak sebab Along pun ada
dengar daripada kawan-kawan Along yang kakitangan kerajaan ni masuk kerja pukul
8 pagi lepastu keluar minum pukul 9 dan masuk balik pukul 11 pagi, pukul 12
tengahari dah hilang entah ke mana. Pukul 3 petang baru masuk pejabat. Ada yang
pagi dan petang keluar minum banyak kali, entah bila diorang buat kerja.
Entah
apa-apa Along ni kan mak, asyik cerita pasal kerja Along je, patutnya Along
tanya pasal mak,. Eh mak pokok ubi belakang rumah tu dah besar ke mak, Along
tak sabar nak tolong mak cabut pokok ubi ni, nak minta mak masakkan pengat ubi.
Lepastu Along nak ubi rebus cicah sambal mak yang sedap tu. Along nak juga ubi
Ketup makan dengan kelapa dan gula. Aduhai terbayang-bayang dah ni. Jap mak nak
lap air liur meleleh ni.
Sebenarnya Along rindu banyak kat mak. Rasa nak peluk
mak hari-hari, rasa nak tidur dengan mak hari-hari, nak tolong cabut uban mak,
nak tolong buang kelemumur mak, kepala mak gatal lagi tak? nanti Along belikan
syampu baru untuk mak, syampu lama tu tak lut dah. Tu yang kepala mak gatal tu.
Minggu depan Along balik tau, mak ikut Along tangkap ikan kat Sungai Kantan ye
mak, nanti Along masakkan mak ikan sambal. Ikan kecil pun kecil la mak, janji
sambal Along nak hampir sama dengan sambal mak. Along akhiri surat ini dahulu
ye mak. Mak jangan risau, Along balik naik bas macam biasa iaitu waktu siang.
Along pun takut nak naik bas waktu malam takut terlajak tidur. Salam sayang
yang amat sayang dari along. Peluk cium dari Along untuk mak yang cantik.

Along Letters to Mom
"Along
please put everything in the back room out of the blue box" shout mom from
the kitchen.
“Okay mom. Along is already half done, and then Along comes to the front ” replied
Along while lifting the books scattered on the floor.
“There
are mom's shoes in here. Mom must forget when her buy shoes then forget where her place the shoes ”Along nagged herself.
Along
holds the shoe box and surprised that there are many more matching shoe
boxes. The door was opened and he seen the 4x9 envelope was neatly arranged. The
envelope also appears to have been colored as if it had been stored for a long
time. Along took one of the envelopes, opened it with a blue and smelly paper.
Along slowly opened the envelope.
"This is a love letter, love letter mom and dad?" whispered Along and began to
read.
In
front of my dear mother,
Hello
mom, I wish you well every day, morning evening. Along praying for your
health. What are you cooking today, sambal fish? Along love so much with sambal mom. Along here can't cook everyday because don't have time. Sometimes
Along buys a pack of rice, but it never tastes good compared to mom's cooking.
Especially when mom cook is very tasty and open-minded. Today, at Along's
office has a banquet, not just today, but almost everyday. Along comes when along have time. Anyway, i always remembers mom message that if i was left the
office. Along would have to record how many minutes i left because Along would
have to return that time and leave after 5pm. You always remember Along, that we work with is sincere and honest there must be integrity. Not being able
to dodge and spread work hours later is not a blessing. Along with remembering your message.
Last
week my friends at the office noticed that along written down the time. They were leaving for
breakfast. Along not bring breakfast, he asked why along had to
write.? Along didn't want to talk because someone will upset. When
the urge finally came to an end, Along just story of my mother message. Their surprised when their find out, mom, there is something to be said when Along says that.
Later, later that day, many people written down something on note and Along saw it. Every time he goes out
for a morning or evening tea he writes in a notebook. Every day
he was seen working until 6:30 pm. It's also noon time just an hour. There are already at the table when 2 o'clock. Before this mom, there was a
reason for her to go back to work at 2:30 pm and another at 3am. It's the
middle of the day, and it's on Along's phone. It's a pity that the person on
the phone called.
Sometimes
Along thought about mom telling Along about everyone who thinks the government
workers keep coming out to drink. Along taste the challenge. That's
right, because I've also heard from Along's friends that the government's employees
went to work at 8am and went out to drink at 9am and returned at 11am, 12 noon disappeared somewhere. At 3 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the
office. Some people go out in the morning and in the evening to drink many
times, even when they are hired.
I
don't know anything with this mom, keep talking about Along work, I should ask about mom. Hey mom sweet potato in the back house is growing? Along can't
wait to help you remove this sweet potato, i want to ask you to cook sweet potato. After that, Along want some sweet potato to taste with your delicious sambal. Along also want sweet potato to eat with coconut and sugar. Oh my gosh. Wait, i want to wipe this
saliva.
In
fact Along missed many moms. I want to hug mom everyday, i want to
sleep with mom everyday, i want to get rid of your
dandruff, it is your hair itchy again? Along will buying a new shampoo for mom, the old
shampoo is out of date. That's is why your head itchy. Next week Along want you to accompany Along to catch fish on the Kantan River, and you'll cook some sambal
fish. Even small fish are small, sambal Along is very similar to
mom sambal. Along end this letter first. Don't worry, Along is
taking the usual bus ride during the day. Along the way he was afraid to take the
bus at night and was afraid to fall asleep. Best regards from all along. Hug a
kiss from Along for a beautiful mom.
Along 7 October 1993
Letter 97.
