If only you know

This is what the husband told her wife about his feeling when he found that she is not anymore at his side every time he wakes up in the morning since last year.

1. Sometimes the husband asked himself.."Why did I do this? Why did I force myself to let you
go?"
And what did the wife say? "Make me strong. It's only for a year."

2. Next time, the husband sighed.."I don't wanna go to any invitations without you."
The wife replied..."Me too! I did the same thing last year when you were away for few months."

3. Sometimes, via YM, he said..."I am not satisfied with all the stuff that I do since you're
gone."
The wife smiled and said..."Share with me...anytime you want. I'll listen to you carefully"

4. Another time, he told his wife ..."I hate coming home if Rio prefers to sleep in his grandma's
house. Suddenly, I can't help longing for your laugh and your hands which always give me a
cup of tea in the afternoon."
And the wife...? She said nothing but wiping her tears. She just held her breath so her only
man would not hear her crying. Yet, deep in her heart...she whispered "If only you know that
I am like a bird with a single wing now. I have been incomplete since the first time I left you
behind."

Friends of Mine

They are special, They are friends of mine, Who coloring my life canvas with thousand rainbows, even in the winter... when the snowstorm said hello out side the window, and the Holland's skies were gray, it's my friends who make the snow turns to sunlight, and bring blue to my sky. *( Hanya berselang beberapa jam dari Mario Teguh. Melintas bayangan kebersamaan dari Manggarai-Bandung, Manggarai-Depok, Soekarno-Hatta-Schiphol, Amsterdam-Zurich, Eindhoven-Paris, Nijmegen-Achen,etc...! With love and laugh, for sure...... )

Sampai Jumpa, Angga

Sabtu pagi, 24 Mei 2020, pukul 07.22 ia masih melakukan panggilan video ke ponselku, namun tak terangkat. Kami bertemu dalam panggilan video selanjutnya melalui ponsel ibuku sekitar pukul 09.00 di rumah Jatra, rumah yang melengkapi puzzle masa kecilnya, rumah tempat ia pulang tiga tahun lalu. Ada yang berbeda pada wajahnya di lebaran pertama itu. Lebih tirus dan pasi. Kulihat kilauan buliran keringat di keningnya. Rambutnya basah. Jelas ia sedang tidak begitu sehat. Pun begitu, setiap kata, senyum, dan deraian tawanya tetap menyegarkan. Kami saling memohon maaf. Ia berbicara sambil merangkul maminya.  "Uni, maafkan Angga lahir batin ya, Ni. Insyaallah kita nanti ketemu di Jambi,"ucapnya sembari melambaikan tangan gempalnya.  "Iya. Uni tunggu, ya." "Insyaallah, Ni,"pungkasnya sebelum ia menepi dan membiarkan maminya berbicara. Sapa, maaf, dan tawa mengalir ke satu-persatu pasukan Pakis 74.  "Uni, bisakan kami nginap di ru

My world was filled with thousand of rainbows' colors when I saw those beatific smiles that night. I learn much from these women.
