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."

*(Nijmegen, when the wife staring at the black and white photos sticked on the wall in front of her, accompanied by books, papers, and the dutch partying at the third floor.)

Hamzah di 1 Ramadan 1440

Ramadan hari pertama, Hamzah alhamdulillah dapat selesai sampai akhir. Tidak terhitung berapa kali ia menanyakan waktu berbuka. "Masih lama ya, Bun?", "Hamzah haus sekali. Gimana nih?", "Berapa jam lagi bukanya?", "Hamzah rasanya mau minum...", dan lain sebagainya.  Dengan es krim sebagai hadiah jika puasanya dapat bertahan sampai magrib, anak saleh kami itu pun kuat juga akhirnya.  Tahun lalu ia berpuasa hingga tiga hari di awal Ramadan kalau saya tidak salah. Tahun ini semoga ia bisa berpuasa hingga Ramadan usai. Kami ingin ia dapat memaknai setiap haus dan lapar yang dirasakannya dari pagi hingga menjelang matahari tergelincir di lengkung langit. Kami ingin ia dalam sebulan ini mencoba menjadi anak-anak yang tak seberuntung dirinya. Kami ingin Hamzah selalu ingat bahwa Allah telah memberikannya banyak nikmat. Kenikmatan yang tidak semua anak bisa merasakannya. Kami ingin ia bertumbuh dengan kemampuan berempati terhadap berbagai kes...

Dagangan Perdana

Ini sebenarnya postingan yang seharusnya diunggah 17 Januari. Unggahan tentang keberhasilannya menjalankan bakat kisprenerushipnya. "Sayang....gimana spagetinya?" "Alhamdulillah laris manis, Bun!" "Alhamdulillah...." "Trus,spageti untuk Bu Alha gimana?" "Maaf, Bun...untuk Bu Alha dibeli sama kawan Hamzah!" "Ooo...gitu...." "Iya! Bun...uang Hamzah banyak. 24 ribu. Tapi Hamzah pusing pas kawan-kawan rebutan." Bahagianya tak terkatakan. Ibunya lebih bahagia lagi. Pagi-pagi menyiapkan semua bahan untuk jualan perdananya. Anak lanang itu sendiri yang ingin mencoba berdagang. Beberapa hari kemarin bolak-balik bertanya apa kira-kira yang pas untuk dijualnya kepada teman-teman sekelasnya. Minuman atau makanan? "Jualan spageti aja gimana, Bun? Hamzah suka kesal soalnya tiap bawa spageti ke sekolah, teman-teman suka minta. Hamzah jadi dapatnya sedikit." Dari rasa kesalnya itulah ide ...

Jakarta (Cubing Method)

This is a kind of writing that we had to make today.  Shane just wanted to introduce us how to write a topic by using cubing method.  So, here is the result of mine.  I tried to describe the topic in a letter for my friend.  Let's read! Dear Wahyu,            Hi, how are you? Hopefully you are well.  Let me tell you about everything I have felt since the first time I came to Jakarta 2 months ago.           Perhaps everybody will say that I am a fool being not comfortable live in Jakarta.  But that is true.  I have to fight here.  You wanna know why? First, it's hard to find fresh air to breath to breath out of the building.  All that come to my lungs is just smoke of cars, buses, motorcycles, and bajai.  Second, I have to prepare coins everywhere I go because there will be many unlucky people who show their suffered faces and hope money from my pocket.  Then? Okay...I give some to them.  Third, I cannot see many trees and flowers which grow by themselves, or birds flying at...
