what a child sees

I have one sweet little cousin, Irsyad. He's a 8 years old young guy. We got one thing in common - we didn't get the chance to see our grandfather's face for the very last time before they closed the kain kafan. Even the babies got to see him.

He asked my aunty "Adik dah bace Yasin dengan doa banyak-banyak kali untuk Atuk, tapi nape Atuk tak bangun-bangun lagi eh Cik Mah?" and there, I'm all wet again. He asked my aunty to bring him to kubur again, with hopes that he could finally see Atuk bangun. He even asked my aunty to dig the kubur so that Atuk can wake up.

He told my aunty that he loves Atuk so much - "Adik betul-betul cintekan Atuk, sayang Atuk, Cik Mah."

What did he sees in Atuk's death? He was so upset for missing his last moment with arwah. He was asleep. Don't worry adik, we'll meet him some day.
