It was one evening
When tranquility shattered
A looming dark cloud
Like a ton of bricks
Descending on my senses
A painful feeling
It is a small village in the kecamatan of Tambusai, Kabupaten Rokan Hulu in the Province of Riau, Sumatra. During the Padri Wars of 1830's , Tuanku Tambusai (aka known as Fakeh Hj Muhammad Salleh ) fought the Dutch forces together with Imam Bonjol and Tuanku Rao in West Sumatra and in Northern Sumatra .The last defence was in Benteng 7 Lapis,Daludalu which fell in 1838. He escaped capture and came to Malaya. He was buried in Rasah in 1882.

I wonder what this ton of brick is that broke the tranquility. Take a break my friend and travel east to see a real world
Dear Pak Cik,
It is one of the things that Allah send to test on us mortals. We only can pray that it strenghtens our resolve to face it with courage and patience. Only then we know how strong is our Faith in Allah. Thanks for the rejoinder.
There is pain in shattered tranquility...I wonder at its cause. I hope it peace has returned.
Dear Susie,
Indeed it was painful. With Faith and prayer, one can overcome it.
