Where art thou?: A pensive Omaryan, who is still reeling from the loss of his wife who died due to Covid-19 complications, looking at a picture of her on his smartphone at his house in Permatang Binjai, Kepala Batas. — ZHAFARAN NASIB/The Star

KEPALA BATAS: It has been two years since his wife’s passing, but former lorry driver Omaryan Zakaria still misses her a lot – more so now during Ramadan.
