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-

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
