Ebook Novel: Di Ambang Senja
Father's Day special:
Saya rasa ramai antara kita akan sampai satu tahap dalam hidup di mana kita mula bertanya:
👉 “Anak-anak aku akan ingat aku macam mana nanti?”
👉 “Aku dah jadi suami dan ayah yang baik ke belum?”
👉 “Kalau satu hari nanti aku dah tak ada… apa yang tinggal?”
Novel ini juga menyentuh tentang demensia.
Satu keadaan yang bukan sahaja merosakkan ingatan…tetapi perlahan-lahan merosakkan hubungan, identiti, dan rasa diri seseorang manusia.
Dan jujur saya cakap— yang paling menakutkan bukan bila seseorang itu mati.
Tapi bila dia masih hidup…cuma dah tak ingat siapa kita.
Saya tak tahu sama ada buku ini akan buat orang menangis.
Tapi saya harap…ia buat orang pulang sekejap kepada keluarga mereka.
Call mak ayah.
Atau sekurang-kurangnya…lebih menghargai masa yang masih tinggal.

Reading "Di Ambang Senja" profoundly resonated with me, especially as it sheds light on the often overlooked, gradual impact of dementia—not just on memory, but on relationships and personal identity. The story’s sensitivity toward how a person with dementia slowly loses connection with their family highlights the emotional struggle for both the individual and their loved ones. From my experience with family members affected by similar conditions, it’s devastating not only to witness the loss of recollections but also to face the fading emotional bonds. This novel’s focus on the father-son relationship reflects a universal concern: How do we ensure that our children remember us not just in snippets but through genuine love and presence? What stands out in the narrative is the portrayal of Rahman, a father navigating the early signs of dementia, confronting the fear of losing himself piece by piece. It reminded me of conversations I’ve had with elders in my life—often unspoken but deeply felt—about legacy, being remembered, and the silent sacrifices that come with aging. The author’s approach encourages readers to pause and reflect on their own familial relationships, to reach out, and to cherish the time still available. In this way, the novel becomes more than just a story: it's a gentle call to action to bridge generational gaps and appreciate moments before they're lost. By focusing on themes of love, loss, and memory, "Di Ambang Senja" offers a rich, emotional experience that not only informs about dementia but also fosters empathy. For anyone grappling with similar fears or those simply wishing to deepen their appreciation of family ties, this book is a meaningful read that underscores the preciousness of every shared memory and conversation.
