LIFE’S BRIEF CANDLE

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

That struts and frets his hour upon a stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare

It was that time in Jamal’s life. Marriage time. Jamal had left the whole
rigmarole of choosing a wife to his mother and sisters. His mother finally found a suitable
choice, pretty, well educated and scion of a family that his mother would not be ashamed
to introduce as in-laws. Jamal also took an instant liking to his future bride. She looked
demure and sweet, hands folded neatly on her lap the day Jamal went to ‘view’ her. She
was not too short which was a no-no for Jamal and she had langsat-yellow skin. A typical
Malay beauty. Jamal gave her a 9/10 rating and pronounced satisfaction on his mother’s
choice. Arrangements then commenced and a date was set. It was to be in three months
time.
“Why so long, Cik?” queried Jamal. He had already spent a few sleepless nights
thinking about his bride.
