Give Your Heart
a Break
Demi met him a few years ago, that
time, Demi was alone in the neighbourhood and was naïve about anything of the
residences. He was the one who always helps her with anything that she need.
One thing she love about him is that he takes great photos.
“ Jason, are you free tomorrow night
? I kinda have this dinner with someone but he had to cancel it. But the
reservation is still on. Would you mind ?” Demi politely called him and leave him
a voicemail. He seldom pick up his phone since he’s always busy with photo shoots
and don’t want to get disturbed by phone calls.
Moments later, she received a text
message by him :
Sure, I would love to. So, when
should I pick you up? At eight ?
Let me check the schedule back, Demi
told herself. Her finger lingered around her schedule to find the exact time of
the reservation. It’s at half past eight, she typed. So you can pick me up at
eight, she continue typing and tap the SEND button. Few seconds later, she got
another text message by Jason, just a quick reply of ‘Ok, see you there!’ with
a ‘:D’ smiley. Demi continued her work.
* *
* * *
The sign was clear, Forever
21, and so did Demi. She was clear that she really need some new dress. If
she didn’t buy any, she’ll probably end
up in the jail of the Fashion Police. She walked politely and observed the
dresses all around her. From far, one dress caught her eyes, a shirt exactly.
She took it and went to find some trousers and some other dresses.
“ Miss, after the 70% discount, the total price is $270
USD.” Demi nodded and smiled to the cashier. Her name is Becky, says her
nametag. Demi handed her three 100USD note and retrieve another three 10USD
note. “Thank you, see you again… Becky”
It’s like her nature of post-shopping where she’ll end up
being at the payment counter in Tutti
Frutti. This time, she is lucky, most of the seats are unoccupied. And she
got more luckier when her favourite seat is unoccupied, too !
One thing Demi loves about this froyo is that the
toppings are so delicious. Caramel toppings added with Chocolate toppings and
with a few pinch of Strawberry sprinkle on top of the Vanilla and Caramel
flavoured frozen yogurt, it tastes like heaven ! Before she started to crazy
about frozen yogurt, she’s all crazy with Godiva’s
chocolate but unfortunately, the price is expensive, much more expensive than
her socks.
“ Oh my god ! Demi ! I can’t believe you moved to New
York already !” Demi was stunted. She recognized that voice. I bet its Camille, she said to herself. “ Camille ? Oh
my god, it has been years since we last talked !”
“I thought I didn’t recognized you anymore. Where’s your
red hair ? I love your dark brown hair already !” Yeah, that is totally
Camille, her bestfriend in high school. “ Well, I was thinking of changing, I
mean, the hair only. I am still me.” She poke her froyo spoon into her mouth.
“ So, you’re going anywhere afterwards ?” Camille sat
down infront of her with her own mix of frozen yogurt. “ I’m having this dinner
with a guy at eight. It’s a long story if you’d ask me.” She stared at her
frozen yogurt, realizing that there’s half left. “ Well, make it short, oh
wait, I’m going to leave soon, how about I call you ? Here’s my address if you
want to come to my house.” Camille wrote it onto a piece of tissue with the
Tutti Frutti watermark on it. “ See you soon okay ?” and she left, leaving Demi
alone.
She drove her newly-bought Audi and parked infront of her
apartment. From her watch, she still have an hour and a half for some makeover
before Jason come to pick her up. She has decided that she will be going to
wear the velvet red dress that she bought at H&M. And her clothes that she bought at Forever 21 is for her
home clothes.
* *
* * *
Ding-dong,
her doorbell rings. From her translucent door-glass, she can see that Jason is
wearing his red plaid shirt that he once said that it’s his favourite shirt.
Well, its just a normal dinner, said Demi to herself.
“Hey,
you’re punctual, by punctual I mean earlier than I thought you should be,” said
Demi, inviting Jason into her house. “ I’m sorry if I am so early. I can wait
for you if you want to.” He sounded guilty for being early, fifteen minutes
earlier than the exact time, eight o’clock. “ Nevermind. I am ready anyway. Let
me take my purse in my room.” She disappeared from the living room. “ Demi, I
am quite surprise that you managed to redesign your living room without me,” he
teased. “ Well, you were busy so I thought I have to work it out on my own.
Ignore the picture of you and me. I just like it personally,” Demi explained,
still, she’s not in the living room. “ I am ready now, let’s go ?” Demi smiled
at him from across the living room. It’s the picture when we first met, Jason
whispered to himself.
“Excuse
me, I have a reservation for two under Demitria Montgomery’s name. Would you
mind checking?” Demi instructed the waiter, “…James?” she continued, referring
to the waiter’s nametag. “ Miss, let me bring you to your table.” Demi nodded, “
Let’s go, Jason”.
“
I wanna ask something. Actually, who are you going to meet tonight before he cancelled the dinner ?” Jason asked
after ordering the dinner to the waiter. He sounded curious. “ It’s my uncle from New Jersey. It’s his
birthday today but he kinda have this work issues so I have rescheduled his
birthday dinner to next week. Does that answer your curiosity ?” Demi giggled.
Jason smiled and drink a little bit of the wine they’ve ordered. “ Since I have
this opportunity, I wanna say thank you for the dinner. No one have ever did
this to me or even ask me out for a dinner.” He stopped, “ Cheers to you !” he
held up his glass of wine and so did Demi.
“
Thanks again Demi for the dinner. I really appreciate it.” Jason hold her hands
tight. “ It’s my pleasure. Some more,
you’re busy with the magazine photo shoot and I am busy with my new summer
collection designs…” she stopped, staring at Jason’s eye. For a few moments,
they were in silence. Jason leaned his face to hers and there they go, the
kiss.
“
Thank you. See you soon !” Jason waved and left after Demi got into her
apartment. Demi smiled.
* *
* * *
After
that night, they always meet each other whether during lunch or even during
breakfast. Sometimes, Demi cook dinner for Jason. That one day, Jason helped
Demi to paint her living room’s wall from blank white to forest green. Demi
smeared the green paint to Jason’s t-shirt and she giggled, they had fun
painting her walls.
*
* *
* *
“ You just don’t believe what I told you, do you ? I was
with my client for another magazine photo shoot, she invited me for lunch. She’s
just my client. Why can’t you understand?” Jason said to Demi on the phone. “
Yes, I believe it is. But why won’t you believe me that day that I went out
with my friend ? And she’s a girl for god sake! You just have one problem that
is called trust” she murmured. “I
wish I never know you” she continued. “ For god sake, Demi, I believe you did
go out with Camille, yes I did. But..” he stopped, and so did Demi. She tap the
END button. Moments later, her iPhone vibrated but she ignored it.
Take
a deep breathe Demi, she told herself. Its just a tiny problem, you can handle
it, she continued.
Jason went into his apartment and try to empty his mind. He
put aside anything that has Demi in it, even their picture together. He just
need some rest. He turned on his television and tuned into MTV to watch Teen
Wolf.
Demi saw the picture of Jason and her in a frame. She
took it out and flip it around, The Day
We Met was written on the back of the picture. She smiled. Then, she went
into her room and search for some more picture of Jason and her. She even dug
into her photo album and took out any picture that has Jason in it. There were
a total of 2540 pictures of Jason and herself that she found in the photo
album. She throw all of the photo in a bag, a Coach bag to be specific.
She walked to a deserted warehouse, not so deserted since
that somebody’s going to buy that building from what Jason told Demi. That
warehouse is just exactly opposite of Jason’s apartment. She hung up the
pictures she got onto the wall, making a big collage of pictures of her and
Jason. She did it from one end to another end of the empty wall of the
warehouse. It took her two hours to finish sticking the pictures to the wall. Then,
she turned on her projector and projected a picture on top of the collage. It
was her The Day We Met picture. She
was hoping for Jason to see it.
Jason walked around his house, feeling guilty of not
trusting Demi. He knew he was the one who should apologize to his girlfriend.
Yes, he should. That moment he got that brilliant idea in his mind and
suddenly, that brilliant idea fade
away from his mind. He walked to the window while texting :
Demi,
I’m so sorry of what happened during lunch time. It was my fault, yes, I can
hardly trust on you but now, I know that I always trust you and I do. I love
you and I am sorry…
He was going to tap the SEND button but he paused. He
look out to his windows.
He blinked twice, he can’t believe what he saw. It was
his picture on the warehouse’s wall. And he saw Demi left the warehouse area.
And one thing he saw is that Demi smiled to him. She must’ve saw me here, he
said to himself. Then, his phone vibrated :
I’ve
forgive you. Please, look out to your window. I hope you’ll smile again and
give your heart a break. You need it. :D
Jason smiled. And so did Demi.
The End

I just can't believe it, time do flies so fast. I remembered I was so screwed up on my first day of holidays and now, it's the first week of December already. To be honest, I am not ready for 2013. I am not ready to be a super senior. I am not ready to face SPM. I am not ready to make history. I am not ready for whatever that will happen in 2013.
Two Thousand Thirteen, it symbolises that I am growing old, growing mature, growing my physical ability, growing my mental ability, growing everything that I can to be the best of myself. All of these years during high school, I believe that I am not being myself. How I wish I can turn back the time and change everything.
Two Thousand Thirteen, it symbolises that I will have a bigger commitment in everything that I am in. No more lazy Eyman going around school doing nothing. No more making myself into someone else's troubles for the sake of saving friendship. No more being nice to everyone who will eventually backstab me when I need their help.
To make my dreams come true, I have to work hard and smart. There's no use if I keep on reading things but I did not understand it. Being someone important in my batch, I have to keep my personality clean for next year, no more hefty Eyman going here and there, mingling. I have to pass through obstacles by obstacles. Have solve one problem to another. No more procrastinating things. What should be done, must be done, vice versa. I should plan my future correctly. I want to be a chartered accountant, then I must strive for it. I want to further my studies to Australia, I have to work to make it happen. No more lazybum Eyman. Just keep on focusing.
Convincing myself about 2013,
Eyman Asyraf Masfazil

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani
Assalamualaikum,
Dalam kehidupan kita seharian, Allah telah menyeru kepada kita
supaya kita menunaikan solat Fardhu lima waktu, sehari semalam. Setiap kali
kita selesai menunaikan solat Fardhu, kita akan berzikir lalu berdoa kepadaNya.
Namun pernahkah anda terfikir bagaimana wujudnya zikir itu ?
Ketika
Allah SWT menjadikan Arsy dan memerintahkan malaikat memikulnya, lalu malaikat
cuba memikulnya dan terasa amat berat. Kemudian, Allah SWT menyuruh malaikat
mengucapkan ‘Subhanallah’. Sebaik saja malaikat menyebutnya maka Arsy yang
berat itu menjadi ringan. Lantas para malaikat membaca zikir ‘Subhanallah’ itu
selama-lamanya.
Berkata Ibnu Abbas r.a “Apabila Allah SWT menjadikan Adam as maka yang pertama keluar dari mulut Adam as ialah bersin. Lalu Allah mengilhamkan kepada Adam as untuk menyebut ‘Alhamdulillah’. Sebaik saja Adam AS menyebut ‘Alhamdulillah’, lalu Allah SWT menjawab ‘ Yarhamuka Rabbuka (kerana rahmat itulah Aku menjadikan engkau). Kemudian para malaikat menggabungkan dua kalimah itu menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah.”
Para malaikat membaca kalimah itu sehinggalah Allah mengutuskan Nabi Noh a.s. Disebabkan kaum Nabi Noh a.s merupakan kaum yang pertama menyembah berhala maka Allah SWT mewahyukan kepada Nabi Noh a.s supaya menyuruh kaumnya mengucapkan ‘Laa illahillallah’ bagi mendapatkan keredhaan dari Allah SWT. Lalu berkata para malaikat, “Inilah kalimat ketiga yang besar dan baik dan tidak boleh kami abaikan.” Maka para malaikat pun mencantum kalimah itu dengan kalimah sebelumnya menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah. Walaa ilaha illallah.’
Para malaikat mengamalkan kalimah itu sehinggalah terutusnya Nabi Ibrahim a.s. Setelah terutusnya Nabi Ibrahim a.s, Allah SWT telah memerintahkan supaya Nabi Ibrahim a.s menjalankan korban anaknya yang mana akhirnya Allah SWT telah menebus anaknya dengan seekor kambing. Apabila Nabi Ibrahim a.s melihat anaknya diselamatkan oleh Allah SWT dan digantikan dengan kambing maka Nabi Ibrahim a.s melafazkan ‘Allahu Akbar’ kerana merasa terlalu gembira di atas nikmat yang dikurnia oleh Allah SWT kepadanya.
Para malaikat pun berkata, “Inilah kalimah keempat yang sungguh baik dan besar”. Kemudian para malaikat menggabungkan kalimah itu dengan kalimah sebelumnya menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah, Walaa ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar.’
Ketika malaikat Jibril a.s menceritakan kisah ini kepada Rasulullah SAW, baginda merasa kagum dan terus melafazkan ‘Laa haula wala quwwata illa billahil aliyil aziem.’ Kemudian Jibril a.s berkata, ‘Gabungkan kalimah yang empat itu menjadi satu yakni…Subhanallah walhamdulillah, walaa illaaha illallah wallahu akbar, La haula wala quwwata illa billahil aliyil aziem.’
Berkata Ibnu Abbas r.a “Apabila Allah SWT menjadikan Adam as maka yang pertama keluar dari mulut Adam as ialah bersin. Lalu Allah mengilhamkan kepada Adam as untuk menyebut ‘Alhamdulillah’. Sebaik saja Adam AS menyebut ‘Alhamdulillah’, lalu Allah SWT menjawab ‘ Yarhamuka Rabbuka (kerana rahmat itulah Aku menjadikan engkau). Kemudian para malaikat menggabungkan dua kalimah itu menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah.”
Para malaikat membaca kalimah itu sehinggalah Allah mengutuskan Nabi Noh a.s. Disebabkan kaum Nabi Noh a.s merupakan kaum yang pertama menyembah berhala maka Allah SWT mewahyukan kepada Nabi Noh a.s supaya menyuruh kaumnya mengucapkan ‘Laa illahillallah’ bagi mendapatkan keredhaan dari Allah SWT. Lalu berkata para malaikat, “Inilah kalimat ketiga yang besar dan baik dan tidak boleh kami abaikan.” Maka para malaikat pun mencantum kalimah itu dengan kalimah sebelumnya menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah. Walaa ilaha illallah.’
Para malaikat mengamalkan kalimah itu sehinggalah terutusnya Nabi Ibrahim a.s. Setelah terutusnya Nabi Ibrahim a.s, Allah SWT telah memerintahkan supaya Nabi Ibrahim a.s menjalankan korban anaknya yang mana akhirnya Allah SWT telah menebus anaknya dengan seekor kambing. Apabila Nabi Ibrahim a.s melihat anaknya diselamatkan oleh Allah SWT dan digantikan dengan kambing maka Nabi Ibrahim a.s melafazkan ‘Allahu Akbar’ kerana merasa terlalu gembira di atas nikmat yang dikurnia oleh Allah SWT kepadanya.
Para malaikat pun berkata, “Inilah kalimah keempat yang sungguh baik dan besar”. Kemudian para malaikat menggabungkan kalimah itu dengan kalimah sebelumnya menjadi ‘Subhanallah Walhamdulillah, Walaa ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar.’

Maka itulah bagaimana kalimah agung tersebut disatukan. Jadi, marilah kita sama-sama beramal. InsyaAllah dengan amalan ini, syurga akan menjadi milik kita, InsyaAllah.
Bersama berkongsi,
