Future hometown: a journey

Korang tau tak aku dah lama takde kampung? Dah lama gile tak merasa istilah ‘balik kampung’ applicable every single year. Kelantan has always been hometown in my blood, but there’s no one there anymore. It’s been more than 10 years since I last visit there, and it ended just last week with a memorable journey.

Naik katebang pun dah lama tak naik, last skali pi Sabah last year for Surekecoh. Takdela teruk beno AirAsia, murah pun murah. Tapi tula, seatbelt dia membuatkan aku dah tersiku kepala org ngan tak sengaja hukhuk. Sori yek yek.

Touched down kat PC, naik cab to KB, wah wah, dah beza gak le since I last remembered. Siap ada encik KBMall yg tak tumpah cam KL.

Kampung Paloh, Palekbang. It’s a humble hometown with very2 friendly peoples. So friendly that I handsomely naik beberapa kilo. Takde harapan…

And for a first time in a very long time, dpt main bola berkaki ayam dekat padang kecik guna gol buluh buruk tgh2 ujan yg takdela lebat gile tapi blehla tahan lebat selama sejam setengah. Kagum ngan stamina diri sendirik haha. Main futsal 5 min dah terjuih dah. Kebas dah pungggung dok tergolek miskick bola & kejor budak2 nih lari cam pelesit. Bila pancit, tukar jadi keeper haha. Dem best gile.

Naik cab 15 min to KB, tambang RM1.50 jek. Mokte anok skoloh seikat 100 biji RM1.00. Durian besa gilos 6 biji baru RM5.00. Mkn pagi2 dah blasah nasi dagang/berlauk . The warmth of beloved host and future in-laws, making me not wanted to go back anymore, walaupun tahu nyusahkan derang jek melayan aku. Hadeh, napelah aku tak duk sini jek.

Byk lagi nak cerita, tapi tak pandai nak atur bahasa agar seindah sepadan dgn apa yg dirasa. Tapi, cakap byk pun tak guna. I’ll be back, definitely I will.

At last, a place I can again call my dear kampung. Belum pape dah rindu, haih..
