My Sahabat Was Crying

I just cannot help it and really I cannot hold it either. I**** called last night, a bit drunk..actually too drunk to drive. I followed my instinct right away that I knew he has problem. Indeed. He fight with his wife and he got terribly angry he went sober. I'm flattered that he thought of me when he's sad. According to him the wife got angry because he thought it was not necessary to go back, she threw accusation of him having another woman and yelled harsh words (sial, bodoh, kurang ajar). He got really upset and throw tantrums by having alcohol.

Mabuk-mabuk tu he went back and on the way to KB he stopped by to meet me. Terharunya saya dia dalam kesedihan he wanted me to console him. Nasib saya, because saya tidak ambil kesempatan. I see him more like a brother. Dia tanya camana dia supposed to handle the situation that the wife susah nak diyakinkan. In his sober dia cakap dia bodoh sebab terburu-buru pilih dia as the one. That he would better chose me instead cause he knows I would say only nice words to him, tidak memandang rendah sama dia. That if only saya ada surat cerai, saya yang dia pilih. He kept saying how idiot of him sebab pilih the woman. That walaupun dia tidak educated dia cakap dia ada 3 kereta jua.

My assumption is the wife boss too much. Eh, off the limit to be precise. She forgot that she is supposed to respect his husband, kan sebagai Muslim syurga bagi perempuan yang bergelar isteri di bawah telapak kaki suami. Saya bukan penganut Islam tapi sebab pendedahan ajaran Islam semasa belajar di UiTM dan terbaca dari banyak sumber media, saya tahu serba sedikit tentang Islam. Walau setinggi mana pun pelajaran, pangkat atau harta tetapi di hadapan suami, walau seburuk mana suami, semiskin mana...suami tetap berada pada kedudukan di atas isteri. Itu interpretasi saya. It broke my heart to see camana marahnya I****. I could fit myself in his shoes, betapa rasa hinanya dia sebab layanan isteri macam itu.

Tidak dinafikan memang rasa sedih bila tengok keadaan dia macam itu. When I came close to him (dia dalam kereta) and terhidu bau arak. That dia cried of anger and humiliation. And on the phone he kept saying he is idiot of making the wrong decision, he said. "Dulu dia cakap dia boleh kasi hibur saya, tetapi sekarang kenapa dia asyik-asyik marah saya. Kau sepatutnya yang saya kahwini. Kaulah sahabat saya, kau saja yang faham dan mampu menyejukkan kemarahan saya. Bagus saya kasi cerai dia."

But on the other side, I suspected that he actually had already drank before the wife called. So bila dia called, di bawah pengaruh alkohol mulalah si sahabat ni melalut-lalut...and si isteri pun mulalah syak wasangka (instead of perasan yang dia ada minum on the phone she tersyak ada perempuan lain pula) sampai terkeluar ayat-ayat yang tidak sepatutnya. And sahabat ni pula dengan keadaan begiut lagilah mudah terasa dan baran. Orang sudah teguk arak memang begitu, saya arif sudah sangat, memang cepat terasa dan mudah naik marah. Masa mula-mula I**** called tu saya sudah tau dia ada minum right away dari nada percakapan dia.
