In Tribute to a friend, Hj. Asmady Zakaria - Al-Fatihah

He was my ex-classmate back in primary school (SRK Kamil 1) and also my schoolmate in Maahad Muhammadi. Asmadi Zakaria was a true friend. After Maahad, we lost contact and I got to meet him several times in UIA during my studying years when I went there to visit Honey. We met again after our school reunion last Eidul Adha. I went to UIA where he worked (Asmady was the head of department for IT in UIA PJ). We had lunch together and talked about good old times. He said that he missed all our Kamilians friends. We promised that one day we will arrange sort of a guy reunion thing with all our ex-classmate staying in KL. We never did.

Asmady Zakaria - kehilanganmu dirasai...

My last meeting with him was at MRR2 when his Merc gave out by the road and I went for his rescue. Luckily, I was driving from my MIL's house to office using MRR2 and saw him by the highway. Brought him to a workshop nearby to buy a battery for his car and helped him fixed his car. After that we only met over the net in Facebook, YM and stuffs. Little did I know, that would be the last time I'll be hearing from him.

He passed away on his way home in Bukit Mahkota from solat jumaat where he felt down from his motorcycle. The doctor said that his death wasn't because of the accident but was from interceleberal bleeding in his brain which most probably resulted from the BP problem he was suffering. There was a high possibility that he was already breathless before his motorcycle collapsed. He didn't even had the opportunity to celebrate his 31st birthday which will be in another 3 days. His sudden death, gave everyone grieving in a state of shock; devastated. Arwah left behind a wife.

Reminiscing how he died, we all wish that we would do anything to be there with him during his very last breath. Maybe this was what Airyz's friends felt when she passed away August last year. So unbearable yet full of sorrow. Wallahu A'lam, Allah knows what's best for him. Mady, you're a true friend. Moga Allah merahmati roh beliau dan tempatkan beliau di kalangan mereka yang beriman, Amin.
