A Letter to Dad

Dear Dad,
How was your day?
I actually do not know how to start this letter.
Well, let me thank you first.

Dad, thank you for raising me up very well.
When I was kid,
thank you for always be my friend, my close friend,
thank you for forcing me to perform five times prayer,
thank you for forcing me to brush my teeth every night before I go to bed.
thank you for buying me a lot of books,
thank you for buying me many chocolates,
thank you for teaching me to spend money wisely,
thank you for helping me doing my homework,
thank you for everything I can not mention here.

And when I grew up,
thank you for teaching me to always be thankful for everything I have in life,
thank you for letting me decide my own future,
thank you for letting me choose what I want to be,
thank you for calling me just to remind me to have my lunch,
thank you for calling me just to asking about my health,
thank you for warning me to not have a boyfriend,
thank you for teaching me to be a brave and independent girl,
thank you for treating me like a five years old kid and playing around with me,
thank you for that silly song you composed specially for me,
thank you for everything I can not mention here.

Over all, thank you for always loving me unconditionally, thank you for being my hero, my number one man.

But Dad,
There is someone else, a man, who will love me as much as you do.
This man is the one I will spend my life with.
The man who will come to you soon, to ask your permission for taking me to his life.
The man who will take your responsibility of taking care of me.
The man who will teach and guide me like the way you did,
The man who will take a lead.

I do not know much about this man.
But there are some things for sure,
that he is kind, warm, and responsible,
he will fill the emptiness in my heart,
he will make me smile everyday,
he will give his best to make me happy,
he will make me mad many times, but I know he will also make me fall in love million times every day,
he can handle me at my worst,
he can make me feel okay with my weakness,
he can make me feel loved and wanted,
he can make me feel appreciated,

And the most important things are,
he can be my partner in learning,
he can remind me to be a better person everyday,
he can take a role as a husband, father, brother and bestfriend for me,
he can be my partner in raising our future kids.

Dad,
he is not perfect,
he is not as good as you,
but I believe that he is the one who can love me the way none else ever can.

Dad,
you are still my hero, my number one man,
and I will always be your little girl.
But, please let me be with this man,
please let him take your responsibility on me.


From my deepest heart.
-your only one daughter who will always love you-

Ramadhan

 Walaupun masih banyak sekali kekurangan, Ramadhan tahun ini ternyata merupakan salah satu Ramadhan terbaik yang bisa saya jalani. Anak yang sudah lebih besar dan mandiri, jarak tempat tinggal dan kantor yang hanya 5 langkah, dan jam kerja yang lebih fleksibel, mungkin adalah beberapa hal yang membuat Ramadhan kali ini terasa lebih khidmat. Ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya sebagai ibu hamil, menyusui, ibu dengan bayi menuju toddler, jam kerja yang masih padat, membuat saya kewalahan dalam mengatur ibadah. Puasa jelas banyak yang ketinggalan. Sholat sunnah sebisanya saja, yang penting sholat wajib tidak ketinggalan. Sholat tarawih dan Qur'an? Selalu diusahakan sebisanya. Duo ibadah primadona di bulan Ramadhan ini harus diikhlaskan karena masih sering ketempelan bocil. Meskipun kadang merasa sedih karena Ramadhan selalu menjadi waktu istimewa untuk umat Muslim, nyatanya saya hanya bisa melaluinya dengan ibadah 'alakadarnya'. Lalu saya bertemu dengan sebuah nasihat dari ukhti fill...

31

 Kebetulan kemarin baru ulang tahun yang ke 31 bareng suami, dan kami merayakannya di UGD Rumah Sakit :))) Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal Dalam sebulan belakangan ada cukup banyak pemicu stress yang bikin saya cukup kewalahan. Tapi selama saya bisa punya waktu tidur malam yang cukup, maka saya baik-baik saja. 2 diantara stressor tersebut adalah berita duka yang begitu mendadak. Sebagai sesorang yang takut kehilangan, dada saya sesak setiap kali mengingat kejadiannya. Salah satu keluarga yang kami sayangi berpulang, begitu cepat. Semakin memahamkan saya bahwa kematian itu begitu dekat. Bahwa hidup kita cuma sebentar saja di dunia. Setiap kali ada berita duka, selain mendoakan almarhum, saya juga berdoa semoga Allah memberi kelapangan untuk keluarga yang ditinggalkan, karena memang sesakit itu merasakan perubahan yang mendadak, butuh waktu cukup lama untuk membiasakan diri dengan ketiadaan seseorang. Saya pun berdoa jika kelak orang tua saya yang dipanggil duluan, hati saya diberi kela...

After They Left

I used to like to be alone. I can do anything I want without worrying about others. I always enjoy my me-time. I like to go to anywhere with myself because going with others will make me be depending on them. I liked to explore new places with myself. Yes, my self is enough for my company. I enjoyed being with my own. I liked to stay at my room for hours (with bunch of snacks, good movies, good dramas, good books). I didn't need any internet connection, I never touched my phone, and the door and window were always closed. Yes, I really enjoyed that. Sometimes, I went to the public space just with my own. Looking at the people, taking picture, doing silly things, alone. Sometimes I just went around the city by motorcycle with no direction. Alone. Sometimes I spent hours in bookstore (Being surrounded by books is my mood booster). Alone. No, I'm not an introvert. Ask my close friends or family, they know me really well. I just feel comfortable with my own company. I have m...
