Segayung Air Panas Mengubati Hati Panas

TANAH MERAH:

Hanya kerana meninggikan suara selepas minuman dipesan lambat dihantar, seorang lelaki terpaksa menanggung derita apabila hampir 40 peratus badannya melecur teruk akibat disimbah air panas sedang menggelegak.

Insiden ngeri itu berlaku dalam sekelip mata ketika Sanusi Othman, 33, sedang duduk seorang diri di sebuah warung di Jalan Ismail Petra, dekat sini, sambil menunggu secawan teh dipesannya sebelum tiba-tiba disimbah segayung air panas.

Mangsa yang tergamam berikutan tindakan tidak disangka-sangka itu bagaimanapun bernasib baik kerana menyedari perbuatan tidak berperikemanusiaan peniaga terbabit dan sempat menepis air panas yang cuba disimbah ke mukanya dengan menggunakan tangan kiri.

Akibatnya, air panas terbabit tercurah di kiri badannya menyebabkan dia melecur teruk sehingga kulit tertanggal dan kemerahan seperti udang dipanggang.

Kesan melecur teruk itu menyebabkan mangsa terpaksa membogelkan diri dengan menanggalkan kain sarung serta baju dipakai sebelum dihantar pulang rakannya dengan sebuah kereta.

Menceritakan semula kejadian itu, Sanusi berkata, dia tidak menyangka akan disimbah air panas ketika minum di sebuah gerai pada 4 Januari lalu.

“Malam itu, saya keluar rumah seorang diri seperti biasa dengan menunggang motosikal untuk minum di sebuah gerai berhampiran rumah. Ketika itu, saya hanya memakai baju-T dan berkain pelekat.

“Sebaik tiba di gerai itu, saya terus duduk dan memesan secawan teh, namun pesanan itu lewat tiba walaupun memesan beberapa kali menyebabkan saya meninggikan suara,” katanya ketika ditemui di rumahnya di Kampung Pondok Lama di sini, semalam.

Sanusi yang mengambil upah menebar roti canai di sebuah restoran berkata, dia terkejut apabila pemilik gerai yang membawa segayung air panas masih menggelegak menerpa ke arahnya.

“Mulanya, memang saya tak perasan dia bawa air panas sehinggalah dia berdiri berhampiran dan menghalakan sesuatu ke arah muka menyebabkan saya panik.

“Saya cuba mengelak dengan menepis menggunakan tangan kiri sebelum bahagian kiri badan melecur akibat terkena air panas. Mujur saya mengelak kerana jika tidak sudah pasti muka saya melecur teruk,” katanya.

Sanusi terpaksa bergelut dengan pemilik kedai yang menyimbah air panas ke arahnya sambil disaksikan beberapa pelanggan lain.

“Tidak dapat saya gambarkan perasaan ketika itu apabila terpaksa berbogel dengan menanggalkan baju dan kain dipakai kerana terlalu sakit terkena air panas.

“Mujur kejadian itu disedari seorang rakan yang kebetulan berada di sebuah pusat snuker di kawasan berhampiran dan menghantar saya pulang ke rumah dengan keretanya,” katanya.

Sanusi mendapatkan rawatan tradisional pada malam kejadian sebelum menerima rawatan pesakit luar di Hospital Tanah Merah dan membuat laporan polis pada hari sama.

The Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00 am for an early morning business flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5.00 am.

" The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9.00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed ... it said... "It is 5.00am; wake up."

Life Goes On

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.

I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain,or the future with its untold stories.

But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine. Yet, I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge. I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries, which I have determined for you. But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking or hurting. But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
