Right person, right time

Bismillah..

At first glance (or in this case, heard), one would probably think of something across the line of serendipity (fate, chance encounter). There's even a movie about that, but that's another story.

This one is an elder's message to a random stranger. It's her first time visiting that house (mind you, it's Hari Raya), and the host's father struck into a conversation with her. Out of nowhere he suddenly speaks about that..

"right person, right time"

fate

upon first hearing it, mind shoots straight to the intended person

of the impact

life came late for her (career, family)

it's a struggle, that one could only sympathize

but the challenge...

only a strong one could bear it actually

the patience it takes

so when I've heard this

"perfect"

it's the perfect advice

everything...and I mean everything is ordained

not a burden, a life choice gone wrong

but this is as it should be

the right person

your existence is valued (acknowledge it yourself)

the right time

there's nothing too early or too late (this IS the right time)

"sweet kn, bapa atu"

indeed, KM

...and the AMAZING thing really
what we (narrator and listener) silently agreed

of how Allah SWT had put those words in the host's father mouth
from a stranger
yet, an issue so personal
so dear to the heart

of how Allah SWT way of answering her prayers
"be at ease"
"it's true...everyone, everything...
right person, right time"

ironically, he was talking about death
which is actually, more profound
since Ramadhan up till now
plane-crash, car fire explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, car crashes
crazy
too young?
no
"right time, right person"

strange, right?
the interpretation of that word
could mean differently to different people
