Mum gone, kids must fend for themselves

KUCHING: Hari Raya is just a week away, but for 16-year-old Siti Nia Romezza and her four siblings, the celebration holds no meaning.
Without parents, they have no one but each other for company. The painful memory of their father dying a week after Hari Raya last year is still raw.
When their mother, Dayangku Ira Erfiza Awangku Perseh, 33, disappeared one night last month, the world came crashing down.
As Hari Raya approaches, they seek comfort in each other and carry on with life.
The three brothers and two sisters live in a dilapidated rented house at the Laruh Settlement. The family moved there last year after their father died.
The eldest of the children, 17-year-old Mitrahad Hairum, is now the breadwinner, but his meagre income as a general worker can hardly make ends meet. Although relatives help pay the RM200 monthly rent, money is still short.
Siti Nia, as the second in the family, had to drop out of school to take over the role of “mother” to her younger brothers Amir Mustaqim, 13, Mohd Qhairum, 3, and sister Dewi Nirwana Sari, 4.
“Hari Raya this year has no meaning for us,” said Siti Nia.
She said life had been hard after their father died, and harder when their mother left, but they are trying to make do with what they have.
“I envy our relatives, friends and neighbours when they tell us of the new baju kurung they have for Hari Raya, or the nice pair of shoes they had just bought. We just have enough to survive,” she said, adding that they only had enough rice to last until the end of the month.
Although they yearn to celebrate Hari Raya like they did in happier times, Mitrahad and Siti Nia keep their act together for the younger ones.
They only hope for their mother’s return and the family to become whole again.
