In the loving memory...
Click to viewLast Wednesday, I went with my classmates to a former classmate's house...Almost all of my batchmates were present and it would be considered a happy event but unfortunately it isn't. The sad thing about our sudden reunion is that it was our classmate's wake.
You see, my classmate is a jolly person and he's gay and is very outspoken. A lot of us like him because he's fun and funny. I never expected to attend a wake, and of a former classmate - that is - and I never expected to see him dead.
He was a Muslim so he had to be buried the next day...When I received news about his death, I was so shocked...and I had to confirm it to other classmates whom I have contact with. My heart was broken when I learned it really was the truth. I really wanted to cry but I couldn't because I'm in school. So I planned with a classmate to attend his wake along with the others.
Later in the day, I hanged-out with a classmate I was close with and told her how I felt...We really felt bad...I really felt bad...And I was angry because he died not of illness...someone stabbed him...And rumors say he was stabbed with an ice pick. It was cruel...Not only the suspect is cruel, the way he delivered my classmates death is cruel...from the way he plotted it, he really intended to kill him. He wasn't dying when the rescuers got to him...the people were so stupid to not rush him to the nearest hospital, people should not just rely on 911 because life is precious...a stab could cost a life if you stall its immediate cure...when my classmate was still breathing he asked for help...but it was too late...he died...he died...
And he's dead.
If people were thinking quickly, acted fast, he could have been saved...but I guess people who are still awake at two in the morning could only think of nothing but themselves...think of nothing but being bystanders and watched the dying die...it's a sad thing...
I am very sad...and I wished that the suspect would be caught and put to prison...life is irreplaceable...He cannot bring back my classmate to life, I wanted him to die...
When I saw my classmates body, I really cried...He looked like he was only sleeping and not dead...he looked peaceful. We are not close but I am really sad, everybody in my batch knows that I'm emotional...and that I have a soft spot for everything...
I regretted not coming to him the past years...we have not been in contact for about four years or so...I regretted why I was not close to him, but I know what we shared when we were younger is memorable...and I'll treasure it....even though he's dead now, I want to remember him in any way possible...
I realized then, the moment I confirmed his death, that life is short...Too short so you have to make the most of your days...
so, R-naif...wherever you are now...I hope you are in peace and your death will be given justice...I hope in the next life, we will still meet again...
