Madam

"Madam,"
"Yep?"
"Banyak busy?"
"Tak lah,"

Muka lelaki bangladesh ini aku pandang tajam.

"Saya mahu tanya soalan buleh?"
"Kenapa? Tanyalah,"
"Saya ada kawan, telinga ada masalah, tarak boleh dengar,"

Aku pandang dalam lagi.

"Dah jumpa doktor?"
"Sudah, madam,"
"Audiologis?"

Kerut kening.

"Orang cek kita dengar okay atau tak. Orang macam saya. Saya audiologis,"
"Doktor ada. Orang macam madam, tarak tahu,"

Analisis wajah.

"Dah lama?"
"Sudah,"
"Doktor kata apa? Orang tak boleh dengar ni, ada dua keadaan. Sementara atau kekal,"

Cuba cari rona faham kalau ada. Kalau tidak, mahu cari ayat mudah.

"Sudah. Sudah. Doktor suruh pakai alat,"
"Oh,"

Aku senyum.


"Madam,"
"Ya,"

"Alat itu berapa harga? Satu ratus, dia ratus?"
"Kawan awak nak beli?"

Angguk.

"Kalau awak beli dekat sini mahal. Tapi kalau awak nak, saya boleh bagi alamat kedai kawan saya. Mungkin ada yang murah,"

Aku senyum. Pahit sungguh untuk telan. Ini bukan cerita manjatuhkan. Ini cerita kemanusiaan.

"Kawan saya duduk Bangladesh madam. Saya mahu tanya harga,"
"Awak tak boleh beli suka suka. Kena cek dulu, kena setting betul betul. Suruh dia jumpa audiologis kat sana,"

Hati ragu ragu. Ada di sana? Bagaimana akses kepadanya?

"Madam banyak mahal eh itu alat?"
"Di sini, ya. Tapi ada lebih murah. Tapi jangan sebab murah awak beli. Kena cek dulu,"
"Ooo. Terima kasih madam,"




Berlalu seorang manusia. Berjujuran berderai air mata. Oh tuhan, andai dalam mampuku dan jika masih belum berubah hati manusiaku, nescaya akanku bantu dalam dekat capai tanganku...

If I'm having difficulty in speaking, who should I consult? Would an appointment on Monday morning be good?

INFINITY said...

Difficult in speaking in term of what?

Well, at least a bit of history please. :)

Anakin said...

Here you go (with regards to the speech pathologist friend):

The Kings Speech

Trailer

INFINITY said...

Thanks Anakin!

My hands a little bit tied up. Miss those days dapat tengok movies dengan tenang. Heh. -.-"

Anyway Anakin, I'm still wondering if I might know you personally. Hehehe. Would you mind to introduce yourself?

Well it's okay if you don't want to. :)

Like the tsunami in the past, the wind brought me here. Maybe for a reason, maybe without one. You have to ask the one higher up.

Do you know me personally? No. I'm just another one of the many readers reading this blog occasionally. Just a random reader. Nothing significant at that.

INFINITY said...

Hee.. 'Anakin' sounds really familiar to me. Heee. :)

Thanks for coming here. My blog isn't really informative anyhow. This is one way of me rambling. Hee.

Anakin said...

Well, that "hee" sounds rather familiar as well. Only one person that I know uses that remark.

To that person and others reading, have a productive week ahead :)

INFINITY said...

Oh really. Is she Tara? Well, you know her, aren't you?

Now, I think like a mysterious girl/guy is here. HAHAHHAHAHHA.

Comel lak rasa. :P
