A Red Letter Day on Wednesday

“What?  Tomorrow is 21^st of March 2012?” shouted my roommate, Hashira on a day before our SPM result to be announced. Still, I could remember that day. All of my friends here, in Universiti Teknologi Petronas became unconscious to take their results at respective schools. Some of them, felt quite nervous and excited to know what their fate was after wearing school uniforms since 5 years old in kindergarten. Yes, we all knew that SPM would help us lots in achieving what we had dreamt to be soon. I could not lie to myself that I felt very nervous to go to my beloved school tomorrow.

After sitting a test for Pre-Calculus subject, my friends and I took a bus directly from Gopeng, Perak to Batu Pahat, Johor. As usual, my phone would always ring when I was on my way to my hometown. I knew, it must be a call from my parents. They felt worried towards me as it was a long journey at night to reach Batu Pahat. I chose to sit at the middle of the bus with my friend, Ummi . Both of us preten  not to talk about the day of our SPM result to be announced. I opened up my laptop to watch any videos of made by “Mathlutfi” who is one of the popular Vloggers in Malaysia that I admired most. Meanwhile, my friends Ummi, listened to her favorite songs through her Sony Mp3 Walkman.

After an eight hours journey in the highway, finally I reached Batu Pahat. It was about 4.30 am o’clock. My parents picked up me at the Batu Pahat bus stand. Honestly, I could not sleep well along that journey  and still after reaching my hometown.

“Have you ready to take your result? ”asked my father.  

I just shout my mouth and smiled to him without answer his question. I f and only if I answered his question, my heartbeat became very fast. When I reached home, the only thing that I wanted to do was to perform my Solah and pray to Him for my result.

The red letter day was finally came. I was touched when my parents were willing to appeal for a leave just because to accompany me to take my SPM result in SMS Sultan Iskandar, Mersing.  It would be the worst day for me forever if I made them felt sad on that day. I knew, they gave me a fully hope in this examination. I told them that everything was going to be fine. My parents said that no matter what the results would be, they pu their trust on me that I had done the best in that examination.

Finally, after 2 hours riding a car, I reached my school. My heart was pounding very fast. I did not know what to say. The moment when it came my turn to take my SPM slip, I felt grateful for what He was arranged for me.  I thanked my teachers and friends very much for giving me full of supports. I always believe that everything happened for reasons. Truly in a short words, SPM is not everything and it is only a ticket for the SPM leavers to study in a higher level as a saying goes, “Let bygone be bygone”.
