Kembara Mencari Diri - Part 4 : Life is too short

Got a shock news on the wed morning @ 15th May 2013. Starting with " Muthu!! What happend??" Govind, panggil Teng, diorg berlari ke depan, ayat terakhir yg kitorg tdengar "Pls call ambulance"... OMG, what happen to our friend?? Aku turn-back to Nabila & she ask " Kak, naper?? Muthu baru sgt kuar.. Dia eksiden ker" Aku jwb, ntah x tau..." td dgr Govind sebut nama Muthu, but all the conversation in Tamil. Luckily Anand is there, he said, "Bukan... Muthu ok, tp rasanya org depan ne yg x ok". 

Then, I'm just realize that my side table was empty.. Ya Allah, I'm so selfish. Berjiran almost 4 months, but I'm not bother to both of our new R&D programmer. Ya, aku bz & both of them more concern on their screen rather than chit-chat with us. Any problem kitorg akan refer ke Muthu & only Muthu will instruct both of them. Hati rasa x sedap... tiba2, nmpak HR plak berlari keluar... Semua org dh berhenti  berkerja, leher memanjang jer ke depan, nk intai apa yg jadi. Called receptionist, She said she dun know, everyone is chasing out to the main-road. Ya Allah, bala apa pulak pagi rabu ne. 

After 15mins, Anand get a confirmation that our trainee programmer passed away. Rasa  jantung aku bdegup kencang & tgn menggeletar... Biar betul?? Aku tanya Anand, "Smlm Karthick Babu keje ker??" Anand kata dia keje, up to 7pm... OMG, see... Linda is too selfish, till her neighbour sblh meja dtg keje ke x pon dia x sedar.... huhuhuhu..... Ntah lar... Karthick Babu is different, he is too shy. Not much conversation in our daily work. Klu aku beli goreng pisang, aku akan pass kat dia, then he will say "Thank you". Aku makan biskut, share ngan dia pon, dia akan amik & say thank you... nothing else. Just last month, he said that he miss me, sbb aku g Tmn Jaya almost a month... singgah opis jap, amik brg & aku akan kuar ke site. One day, I met him with his collegues at pantry & Muthu menyakat dia. Muthu kata " Linda G.. where are u going. He already miss you.... " then aku pusing ngadap dia & chit chat for a while... Thats the longest conversation among us. Sebenarnya, aku rasa, dia sunyi bila x dgr suara aku memekak kt opis tu... suara aku kan cm halilintaq.... hahaha.... I still  remember, after one month they're joining, the 1st GOAL meeting they had attended, most of the R&D manual was done & MD mg impressive tul ngan outcome depa.. Masa present unt GOAL, mmg depa nya GOAL lar yg slalu backup kitorng. Nak harapkan kitorg nyer GOAL... mmg gol lar sgt... 

Coming back to Karthick Babu stories, pagi tu bila Muthu sedar yg dia x mai keje, Muthu rasa pelik, sbb dia x penah wat cmne since the 1st day his reporting to Muthu. Bila tanya roomate dia @Sundar, he said that Karthick not wake-up. Even his phone alarm that morning si Sundar yg matikan. Gerak x bgun pon. Yg mamt ne pon, lurus sgt, ingat Karthick tu letih, overslept. Dibantainya dtg keje. Smpai kul 9++ baru Muthu ajak dia blik ke umah depa, nk check wether Karthick is sick or what. Dia rasa x sedap hati.. When they reach at the flat, found that Karthick dah sejuk gedi. Tu yg dia kelam kabut call Govind tu... But, it's true, If Allah said "Kun-Fayakun", maka "jadilah ia". Karthick yg aku kenal 4 bln, sorg yg pendiam, x penah marah... not alcoholic, x isap rokok... He was found death for a massive haert attack.. Dia biasa2 jer.. x mpak cm sakit, not even gemuk... senang cite lar... aku masih dok ternampak2 dia... kat sebelah aku cm besa... x bp nk boleh terima kenyataan yg dia dh x der... Siap boleh cakap kat Ecah yg aku nk tribute satu entry khas unt Mendiang KARTHIK BABU JEYAPAL. Petang tu, bila MD aku send emel... rasa sebak aku baca...     

Demise of Karthik Babu



Dear Staff,



Today was a very sad day for us in PSI KUL as one of our employees, Mr. Karthik Babu never woke up from his sleep this morning. Though he had been with the company for just over 4 months, he had shown great talent and was a hard worker. Govind and Muthu were impressed with him and he showed great capability.



Faith had other plans. He went home from work last night and as usual, shared his dinner with other colleagues from inCONTROL in his flat. They joked and talked as usual and he went to bed at 11.30pm last night. In the morning, his colleagues found him expired. We believe that he had a massive heart attack in the night.



His family has been given the tragic news in India and efforts are now being made to transfer him back to his families care for the funeral and other religious ceremonies.



I would like to sincerely thank all the staff that supported us this morning at the apartment. Your kind act to our colleague will always be remembered and we took care of him just as his family would have done in such a situation.



Our prayers go out to Karthik Babu and our condolences to his family. May he rest in peace always.



Regards.


Hurrmmm....Life is too short. Am I able to achieve my dream?? Ke dah cukup ke bekal unt kembara ke Alam yg kekal??
