"tungguuuuu akuuuuuu" was the words that she would say when an impromptu decision was made to either breakfast or lunch. She would be seen unplugging her laptop and the accessories that came together with it. The shutdown procedure would take at least three minutes and the packing of accessories would take another five minutes. It would be altogether around 8 minutes before we could leave after a decision to dine out was made. We would just sit down and wait for her to finish off her business, or otherwise sarcastically stand with the door opened so as to make her rush. I miss those moments.

In four hours time, you would be 23, but sad to know that you've left us for good when you were 22. You left without a goodbye, and the last time I saw you, you made an impression that I will be seeing you again the following day. Had I knew what was going to happen, I would've stayed longer at uni and spend more time with you. Our last class together was Econometrics, I remembered that because it was the gruesome test that we had to endure on that day itself. You've complained of headaches, but I thought it's the Econometrics that's giving you one, just like how it gave to the remaining six of us in the class. It later turned out that blood clot in your brain was causing you the major headache. You fell into coma two days later.

I prayed day and night for your consciousness but five days into coma, Allah has other plans for you. You've left us for good on 27th September 2009, a day of grief for everyone at uni. It was a day full of barkah when you left us, it was on a Thursday, Ramadhan, and on an odd date in the Islamic Calendar for which it may be the day which Malam Lailatul Qadr falls (27th Ramadhan). Alhamdulillah.

You and I have several things in common, one of them would be in favour of the number 28. It marks the intial on our birthday dates. It's very typical of her to get stuff which has the number 28 printed on it, and the next day she would show it to me and in anticipation that I'll snatch it from her. But I did not. I miss this too. Benetton was your choice of brand collected from all over the globe because most of their items had '28' embossed on it. More specifically, it must be all green!

You will be greatly missed. Happy birthday. Al-Fatihah.
