Cinta & Kesetiaan Si Burung Layang-layang.... Subhanallah...

It's a story about the barn swallows...

ia sebuah kisah kawanan burung layang-layang yang biasa....

In Taiwan. Saturday in Harbor-South. It's a cloudy day. Many barn swallows appeared in Harbor-South, and some of them stayed on the street in flocks. Looking at the trucks running forward and backward on the street, I was worried about them. Suddenly, a big truck passed swiftly in front of me. What left on the ground is a little pile of black shadow. I knew some disaster had happend ... again.

Hari tu kelihatan mendung seperti hendak hujan... banyak burung layang-layang muncul datang untuk bermain hujan, itu memang adat mereka seperti mana difitrahkan oleh sang pencipta yang maha agung lagi bijaksana.. kagum melihat aksi mereka melayang, walau kecil tubuhnya tapi mereka hebat... Subhanallah hebat sungguh ciptaan mu ya Allah... Dalam kesibukan jalan raya, lori berulang alik cukup banyak.. tiba-tiba satu trak melalui depanku, dan meninggalkan sekujur tubuh kecil terbaring di jalan raya tidak bergerak.. ia si burung layang-layang kecil...

Birds are also quite sentimental. Even though the swallow lying on the ground would no longer budge a bit, another one, looked like his family, flew to the side of him, relunctant to accept the truth ...

Makhluk istimewa ini... sungguh penyayang... melihat tubuh burung itu terlantar, lantas singgah sahabatnya dari kawanan tersebut melihat tubuh yang tidak mampu lagi bergerak sedikitpun...  ia seperti tidak percaya teman ia terbang melayang bersama kini di atas tanah terkujur, tidak lagi bergerak... seperti ada riak sedi di wajah sang layang-layang kecil...

The third swallow came close to them, seemingly trying to tell him that the truth couldn't be changed ... But, he screamed dolorously, demanding his friend to leave ... he would rather believe that the disaster had never happened...

Naluri kesetiaan dan kasih sayang membawa seekor lagi ke jalan raya.. bagaikan memberitahu kawannya terimalah hakikat bahawa ia sudah pergi.. ia berbunyi seakan menjerit menyuruh kawanya pergi bagaikan tidak mahu menerima apa yang telah terjadi kepada sahabat sejatinya...

Another big truck passed. Strong blast turned the dead swallow on the ground. Observing the change of his gesture, the family swallow was inspired and flew immediately back to accompany the dead swallow ...

Satu trak lagi lalu di jalan itu.. membuat tubuh kecil itu berubah kedudukan.. tiada siapa yang peduli.. tiada yang perasan.. hanya sahabat sejati menanti melihat ti dak sanggup membiarkan teman nya begitu sahaja.. banyak dah kami lalui bersama... membesar bersama.. belajar terbang bersama... lihat kesetiaan seekor makhluk kecil yang tidak fikir ia mampu bertindak sebegini...

Accompanying the dead swallow, he shrieked at him, "Get up! Get up!"

bangun sahabatku... bangun sahabatku... 

Unfortunately, the other one could no longer respond ... Suddenly, the family swallow stepped closer, trying to grab his body and get him up ...

apakan daya... ia sudah pergi.. pergi yang pasti tidak akan kembali... si layang layang menghampiri sahabatnya dan cuba mengangkat tubuh teman nya itu dengan harapan ia bangun dan kembali terbang bersama... kita tahu pasti ia tak akan bangun lagi.. tapi tetap ingin berusaha demi kesetiaan yang telah selama ini di terapkan... naluri yang telah Allah ilhamkan pada burung ini...

However, it's too much a burden for him ... But still, he fluttered the wings, again and again ...

ia mengepak-ngepak sayapnya dengan harapan.. penuh harapan... ini usaha ku.. aku tidak akan tinggalkanmu...

The dead swallow couldn't respond, even through he wanted to .... I believe so ...

hanya kebisuan menjadi jawapan.. si layang layang kecil tetap tidak bergerak....

Another car passed, the family swallow flew up in fright, but came down again immediately after the car had left ...

kereta laju melalui jalan itu... kerana ketakutan.. sahabatnya terbang lari... kemudian ia datang semula... oh..setianya kamu wahai burung layang layang..

Even though the other swallows told him that the efforts were in vain, he didn't give up, hoping against hope that his family would get up again ...

ia masih tidak berputus asa... ia tetap mencuba dan terus mencuba demi melihat sahabatnya terbang melayang kembali seperti hari yang dulu... 

Another truck passed. The body budged a bit because of the blast ... The family swallow was inspired again and tried every possible attempt to get him up ...

sekali lagi tubuh itu terpelanting kerana angin yang melibas dari trak yang lalu.. ia kembali semula lepas mengelak dari trak itu tadi.. masih cuba menggenggam tubuh sahabat nya dan mencuba mengepak-ngepak supaya si layang layang kecil bangun... 

Finally, he used up all the strength he coud possibly gather ... but still, he couldn't get any response from his family ... All of a sudden, he couldn't bear the sorrow, shrieking at him, "Why don't you get up ?!!!"

I couldn't continue the writing. At last, I was worried that this family swallow, which kept flying up and down when the truck passed, would get hurt by the vehicles, so I couldn't help but move the dead swallow to the bush on the side of the street, although I knew I shouln't have interfered. The family swallow hovered in the sky and screamed several times. Finally, he flew away ... accepted the truth
