Wed 24.11.2021.
We were in Lonek a day earlier to prepare for today's return reception of the Gombak marriage ceremony between Kamil & Zalikha last Sunday.
Idah undertook the giant-share of the gift-preparations, including the 4-hour wajeek cooking and packaging. I assured the Gombak trio that came that this wajeek is special and must not be missed. But today what was really special was the poetry Idah read before the adat menyembah.
Syair Pengantin.
Teruna bongsu kesayangan ayah
Dibawa selalu kemana arah
Lelaki tunggal tiga beradik
Kini dah besar jadi pendidik.
Jodoh bertemu kehendak Tuhan
Yang ini satu jadi pilihan
Sama sebaya sama sepadan
Moga abadi jodoh pertemuan.
Sanak-saudara rakan dan taulan
Beramai-ramai beri sokongan
Semua gembira dalam prayaan
Kasihnya ayah dalam ingatan.
Ibu dan kakak dalam keluarga
Kekal berdamping berkasih-sayang
Mahligai kini sudah dibina
Semoga bahagia yang berpanjangan.
Needless to say, there were a few tears.
