amjad's bicycle

I had a call at almost 3. Syazmi asked, 'abang ada call ibu?' I said no.
Syazmi: angah cakap ni ibu jangan panik tau.
Ibu: Kenapa?
Syazmi: abang kena langgar kereta.

seram sejuk, tersirap darah. more details.

they were on the way to mengaji. syazmi went the long route, amjad took their usual short cut. that was when he got hit.

not quite sure of the details here. but the short of it, the person came out, took a look at her car, then asked if amjad was okay and went on her way!!!! grrrr!!!!! the boy tried to bring his crooked bike to the ustazah's house but it was too much for him so he left it there and walked the few meters.

apparently someone else saw it, called the ustazah and even gave the registration number of the car and when the ustazah asked if onyone was hit, amjad raised his hand and that was when the others realized it. the ustazah sent him home later, syazmi and hazmi and some others brought his bike to ustazah's house.

I cut short my appointments, and went home, he was asleep then. saw the lacerations on his chest. ouch! then went to see the ustazah. saw the sorry state the bike was in, the tires were both crooked, and other things (don't know the names of the bicycle parts) but in short it looked bad. just made me doubly glad he was okay.

took him to the clinic. he checked out okay. but wondering if we should go and get him a chest x-ray tomorrow. we'll see how he is overnight I guess, he refused the dr's offer for mc.

papa went to bring back the bicycle from the ustazah's house. she said the person called her and asked if she should replace the bike. papa said we were very concerned because of the lacerations and bruises on him, and ustazah was surprised to hear those. i still can't believe the person left amjad, as much as he got up by himself, I would think you would at least want to see him safe to his destination, if not actually take him to the clinic yourself.

abah wanted to stop the kids from mengaji, we'll just let them walk for now. not really to punish them but we're just a bit jittery for the time being.

alhamdulillah, given the state of his bike, I just can't be thankful enough to Allah for keeping amjad safe. if the car had hit his leg, he'd probably be in a cast right now. a lot of ifs so we're really just so thankful he's alright.
