was it just an imagination?

i woke up suddenly in the wee hour of sunday morning, startled by the angry thunder and bright flashing lightning.

it was not the usual thunder and lightning i tell ya. it was scary, kinda freaky. it felt like the sky was torn by a force so magnified and ripped apart by a powerful, gigantic force.

i felt like the house was going to collapse.

that kind of uneasy feeling that made my hair stood on ends.

i stared long and hard at my wrist watch (maklom, potek), 4.50am.

in my head i was speculating "maybe at this very moment, amidst the growling thunder and all......those 2 brothers had finally returned to their Creator, Allah azza wa jalla.

i was not too far off with my speculation. yesterday's news affirmed what i had thought earlier that morning. the 3 bros were 'executed' on saturday 'slightly before midnight'.

before/after/at - these are but a definition of time.

i had a strong feeling 'it' happened amidst those thunder and lightning. oh well, maybe i was wrong. but i could be right too.

whatever it is, i offered my sedeqah al-fateha for the 3 Allahyarham.

May their sins be forgiven and their souls rest in peace. Ameen.
