tersentuh...

'touched'..... dalam erti kata sebenar, tersentuh... boleh membawa lebih dari satu maksud... tersentuh yang ingin saya sentuh di sini bukanlah sentuhan yang melibatkan fizikal...tak kena mengena pun dengan tajuk di atas.

tersentuh ataupun 'touched' di sini is more to mental connection, atau emosi dalam erti kata lainnya. 

tersentuh melihat kekecewaan seorang insan bernama murid...a boy. selalu orang kaitkan lelaki ini dengan sifat tough, strong, cool dan berbagai-bagai lagi yang kedengaran seperti 'canggih'. but then, janganlah kita lupa, walaupun lelaki, kalau dah nama manusia kan, tak lari dari mempunyai perasaan. cuma terserah pada seseorang individu itu cara atau kaedah untuk menzahirkan perasaannya itu. 

that day, the boy loses the battle with himself i guess... to keep his cool that is... he couldn't help it.... tears welled in his eyes. they fell down his cheeks even though he wiped them and i could see he was trying to sustain them. 'go on, cry. don't hold back'. i don't blame him, and i don't see him as a weakling for crying like that. ( macho peh budak tuh nangih!) in fact, i salute him because he's not afraid to express himself. memang sangat kecewa jika apa yang kita harapkan tidak tercapai. begitulah apa yang telah menimpa murid ini. hatiku turut tersentuh melihat keadaannya seperti itu. i could almost feel what he was feeling that day. 

be strong there boy! it's not the end of the world. it's just the beginning of everything. you have a long time ahead to achieve your goals. so stand up, fight for your future, jangan terlalu cepat melatah. it's true that you didn't get what you want, but that doesn't mean you should stop trying. jadikan pengalaman itu sebagai pengajaran dan pendorong untuk lebih berjaya pada masa akan datang. i wish you all the best in your future.
