Goodbye, my dear room...

It's tomorrow! The day when I really have to say "Goodbye, my dear room."

I've been stayed for almost a year already. It's like an idiot when I acted such a fool in front of the camera. Without a single help from others to take the picture of me. No Need! I just want to spend my last minutes here, in my own room. The walls, the mirror, the cupboard, the desk, the black rotating chair, the desk lamp, the bed, the wastafel, the big window with cars and kapsalon outside, the blue reading chair, the shelf, and the grey cabinet....they have been the silent witnesses of my wavy mood.


The next chapter to go is moving to Heerlen, the very southern part of Holland and a stone throw area to Germany, after getting certainty from department about the whole things.

There is....indeed...time to say welcome and time to say good bye, even I have heard once that nothing's good in saying 'bye'. But that's life! Everybody has to finish his own part in his/her own book that s/he writes. So...goodbye, my dear room..just like last year when one of my buddy said the same to the room in front of mine. I can feel it now. And it's bad! :(

(8 hours before giving the key to the caretaker. and still....enjoying the last night in almost empty room of mine. :)

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...

Alhamdulillah sudah ditamatkannya Iqra 1 semalam di bilangan usianya yg baru 4 tahun 3 bulan 11 hari.  Sudah dengan lancar dibacanya seluruh deretan huruf Hijaiyah dengan susunan runut, acak, maupun dr belakang. Bukan hal yg istimewa utk Musa sang Qori dari Bangka Belitung mungkin, tetapi ini menjadi berkah luar biasa untuk kami. Semoga Allah selalu memudahkanmu untuk menyerap ilmu-ilmu Islam berdasarkan Quran dan teladan Rasulullah ya, Nak. Semoga ilmu-ilmu itu nanti senantiasa menjadi suluh yg menerangi setiap langkahmu dlm menjalani kehidupan ke depan dengan atau tanpa ayah bunda. Semoga juga ilmu itu tak hanya menjadikanmu kaya sendiri, tetapi membuat orang-orang disekelilingmu pun merasakan manfaatnya karena ilmu yg bermanfaat itu adalah ilmu yg bisa diberikan dan bermanfaat bagi orang lain di luar dirimu. Allah Maha Mendengar. Dengan doa dan pinta Bunda, Allah pasti akan mengabulkannya. Amin. 😍

I Love Presents

Dear aunties, still remember these presents? Bunda brought them for me when she came home a month ago.  I was so excited to see those colorful box in her hands.  And I could not stop smiling while touching them.   From Auntie Elva. Well, Aunties...thank you for the beautiful presents on my first birthday last month . Actually bunda had planned a small family gathering to celebrate my birthday, but she could not make it.  We mourned for my uncle who died suddenly early Saturday morning, the day before my day.  Bunda must have told you this. Did she tell you as well that Uncle Tomy was such a nice big guy who loved children very much?  I think I can still feel him. He left me the warmness of his hug when he held me tight and swung me gently in his arms five months ago. May his soul rest in peace and God grant strength to the members of the berieved family.  from Auntie Mar Anyway, here we go....with some pictures here you can see how happy...
