INTERVIEW WITH AN EX-MUJAHIDDEEN Part 2

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera,

Selamat Hari Raya Eidul Adha! Semoga pengorbanan kita dalam apa jua bentuk dan ikhlas diterima olehNya. Amiiin!

Beberapa hari lalu dapat gak teman online dengan Mr 'W'. Itu pun berebut chatting dengan orang rumoh kat Kurdistan pada masa yang sama. Suami dan Mr 'W' kenal lama dan suami tau projek teman nulis kisah dia ni. Lagi satu masalah, perbezaan waktu. Sampai tersengguk-sengguk teman berjaga nak interview dia ni. Kekadang connection terganggu pulok, issyyy.

Semalam cuti Hari Raya Qurban, dapat chatting lama sikit. Teman siap kumpul isi interview ni tapi tak buleh tulih panjang-panjang ya kome, buat installment, macam cerekarama, ada episod. Teman tak ubah isi interview sekadar sunting bebelan yang tak relevant. Grammar dia pun teman biorkan tapi flow of the interview teman tak kaco supaya nampak natural.






Salah sorang pembaca tanya ngape 'W' mencuri ayam itek, kan ke haram? So teman pun berlabun pasa tu dengan dia.

Yong: One of my readers asked, why did U steal the chicken and duck? Why didn't U ask from the owner?

W: Yes, true haram. But no one there...

Yong: Where was the owner?

W: I don't know. Village was very quiet. Not any people.

Yong: U had no money...U told me. Were you hungry?

W: Yessss

Yong: Were U afraid of being discovered by people?

W: Yesss...I was an escaped people (Teman rasa dia nak kata fugitive).

Yong: What would they do to U? The villagers...

W: I don't know...I don't see any

Yong: No fruits or anything else to eat?

W: Nothing! Only ice everywhere...no grass any

Yong: Oh winter! I understand. How many days U had not been eating?

W: I can't remember. But I know I was starving

(Hmmm orang kebulur buleh makan apa jer.. Gambor atas inilah ropanya musim sejuk di kawasan lembah dan pergunungan Afghanistan).





Yong: Ok, thanks for the explanation W. back to your story with the Turkmen and the Uzbeks. How long did U stay with them?

W: Approximately 35 days. Later I went to Tajik area. Afghanistan include Peshtun 50%, Uzbek 10%, Turkmen 10%, Hazara 15% and Tajik 15%.

Yong: How did U live? In houses, camp, cave?

W: So Russia, Taliban and USA never entered Tajik area, where Panjshir Valley

Yong: Where is this Panjshir Valley?

W: There was a guide by name Nooriddin. Tajik people history is interesting.There are two kinds of Tajiks in the world, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Iskender went to Afghanistan area in history and his soldiers lived in the valley about 3 years and they killed all male people.

Y: Alexander the Great U mean?

W: So Afghan Tajiks are fighting people and their colour like Macedonian.
Yes, Alexander.

Y: Stop W! Just answer me please. Why did U need a guide to go to Tajiks area?

W: They are real people, good people, not like Taliban. Taliban is grown by the British.

Yong: Who is Nooriddin?

W: Tajik area is Hindukush mountain. He is a good Tajik. A millitia.

Yong: Where did U meet him? Did U pay him?

W: Nooo never. He is a very honest man. He lost his family all. A volunteer people.

Yong: How did U survive with no money while living with the Turkmen?

W: They are very hospitable people. No need money. All roads were controlled by Russia.

Yong: Any woman there?

W: Nooo...before come to Turkmen area

Yong: So this was not a village? A hideout? In the mountain?

W: One nite I saw a house, silent area

Yong: Ok (tang ni teman sabor jer...dia konar ke lain)

W: I follow this house, only one and not any another house, may be some ruins. I saw 2 women one is young another is old

Yong: Are they Turkmen too?

W: Afternoon I decide to go there coz outside was cold. First they were afraid too much

Yong: Were U alone?

W: I tried to tell them, that I was a good people. Yes I'm alone

Yong: Why did U go there?

W: I (walked) randomly in the mountain

Yong: Their house in the valley?

W: While I was trying to go to north east of Afghanistan valley

Yong: Where were U going?

W: Near a small river but not any road or city connection by car

Yong: Ok, what happened to the women?

W: They had to accept me but they don't have any food to give me. Only boiled some grass tea. That is wonderful to me. Long time I didn't have hot drink. I slept all nite nice. I believed they didn't sleep till morning.

Yong: Where were their men?

W: Murdered

Yong: By whom?

W: Mom and daughter. They didn't know. They say that they went to millitia and never come back again.

Yong: When did U meet with Nooriddin? How long U stayed with the women?
