*Mind you, I like rain.
Just I found it so funny today, since last week, almost everyday I brought my umbrella to work, eventhough at the end of the day the sky was so bright and shiny. Yup indeed, it rained a few evenings last week, but I happened to already settled down at home laying on bed and reading my ebook, so I got no chance to use my umbrella actually.
Each day I will neatly tucked it back to the thin slot beside the driver seat. Even so, I will never forget to bring it back to the office, the prospect of rain didn't scare me at all, just I wanna be prepare in term of times, cos sometimes I need to reach home early or fetch my lil bro, so umbrella can be sort of shield to avoid me stuck at one place when I need to be at the other.
"But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners". (8:30)
And while I was walking in the windy weather with dark clouds sorrounded me this evening -- Yea, I did cursed my forgetful self on why did I left that umbrella today, why I didn't turned back to the car when I realized I left it this morning, why it's raining when I don't have any umbrella with me? Can I reach to where I'm going (as per right now) my car without getting wet?
Then I remember this ayah above,
"What a shame Kiki!"
I have always believed that there's something in "everyday", something that God want us to learn and put it in our heart, just perhaps sometimes we didn't realized as we are too rushed up with this Dunya. It could be anything, however small that things were, it could be people or places that we went to, it could be our own thought that lingered around in our mind. That "something" which we encountered "everyday" would be a chance for us to reflect and learn. But most of the time, we didn't realize, we let that moment passed by in front of our eyes.
Sometimes we lost it with our own rapid time, worst, we lost it with our emotions, anger or perhaps when we are too sad over some issue, we forgot that it can be that "something" in "everyday" that God send to us,
I often lost it too. But we need to continue trying right?
And more than often, I need to take time to realized it, time to sober up my mind from this beautiful Dunya. Sometimes I didn't realized about that "something" at all, I am so blinded with emotion.
Yes indeed, we are not a good planner, nobody are. But no harm in trying right?
And maybe yesterday we lost that "something", but we are here today right? Let's take the time to find it in anything that we do ;)
As for me, today I forgot my umbrella only to realized that I shouldn't be so nonchalant about it, especially on this rainy season. And I learned how the feeling are when you put so much effort on something, then you stopped it half way only to realized that the next two steps before you stop is perhaps your victory.
How does it feel?
Yeah, its sucks!
But its kind of amazing too cos I found my "something" in "everyday" today ;)
"How beautiful it is that we can learn when we found something and we can also learn when we lost something. Both words contradict each other but bring us to one which is Him."
