No Charges





This advert is really close to home.

I remembered when I was small, I've always asked for upah for every single thing. Upah for puasa, i.e. a few ringgit for every single day that I've fasted. Upah cabut uban my mom. Upah buat tuh, upah buat nieh. Even when I had to wear braces and the doctor needed to pull out 2 of my teeth pun I cried so hard that my dad had to promised that he'll upah me something if I stop crying (hey I was only 11 at that time).

However, things have changed now. I no longer needed any upah to do anything for I can manage the financial side well, alhamdulillah. Instead, all I longed for are just some love and affection. I needed to know that my parents do care.

How I long to finally receive a call from Dad, without any single mention of any material items. A single call asking me on the progress on my studies would be fine. Nevertheless, he don't even know that I'll be sitting for my exams this coming month.

This raya, I will be praying for a miracle. Something that could actually turn things around and make things better. I pray for God to give some hidayah to my dad and make him realise that his girls doesn't need anything else but his love. I will say thousand prayers for you Ayah at no charges.


To everyone out there...

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
&
Maaf Zahir dan Batin



Do cherish your loved ones. Never replace your love with any material objects for money can't buy you love.

May all of you have a blessed Syawal.
