Layangan Yudha

Minggu, 22 Agustus 2010. Setelah sekian lama tidak pulang kampung ke Kerambitan, kuputuskan untuk pulang. Berangkat pukul tujuh pagi, aku mampir ke jalan Antasura dimana ipar dan mertua berdiam, untuk membawakan sekedar kue yang kubeli dari pasar. Anak Sulung harus menyelesaikan tugas kelompok di sekolahnya, suami sedang konsentrasi di proses penulisan disertasi, dan si bungsu memutuskan tidak ikut bepergian.

Sepanjang jalan Diponegoro sudah terasa berkah hujan selama perjalanan. Hingga tiba di Jeroan, Desa Batuaji Kelod, Kecamatan Kerambitan. Bercengkerama dengan Dewa Biyang dan para saudara lainnya, tertidur lelah di kamar dengan lamunan tentang masa lalu, berkumpul bersama kedua Dewa kakeyang, dewa niyang, kedua orang tua, dan kakak juga kedua adikku. Setelah cukup lama bercerita, aku berpamitan untuk kembali ke Denpasar.

Tiba di rumah, lalu disambut heboh si bungsu yang mendapat hadiah layangan gede "Dari tetangga dekat pura" katanya... Ya ampuuunnn. Layangan itu berukuran 4 X 6 meter. Mereka berdua menggotongnya sepanjang jalan perumahan menuju ke rumahku.

Hmmm, gimana menyimpannya, merawatnya, menaikkan layangan tersebut??
Wah, wah, wah....

This Beautiful Song, To Remind My Sons, How Great Our Love is...

Freddie Aguilar - Child

When you were born into this world

Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true
The answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried
They're at your side to care

Child, you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast
And now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind
Why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone
No friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go
Their arms stay open wide

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

Child you don't know
You'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

My Lovely Husband... For You to Remember, My sons...

After have been married for almost 16 years,. we are not perfect, certainly not without our ups and downs, but he continues to amaze me at the love he shows me still to this day. And I adore him, as my husband, as my brother, as my friend, and as my enemy, eh hehehe.

In my opinion, that is enough one captain in our ship or plane, or company, or a house. Even if I am a mature woman, feminis, and try to do everything by my self, he is my captain. If there is two captain, the life will goes "achakadhut", like broken heart, broken relationhip, till they realize this, and wanna repair it again and again, or just becomes an useless trial.

He is not a perfect man, as I am too. He doesn't like to go everywhere, while i do love this with my lovely kids, my servant, me my self. He is a candidate of doctoral programme. He is a smart man, who doesn't like interract with other people by internet, while i do love it. He really loves sit at home, reading, writing, enjoys the time with our sons, check his plants, even we only have some kinds of flowers.

A friend told us the other night that we act like we're on our honeymoon, & she hopes that they will act like us when they are married 15 yrs (Santibangetdah.com).

How I have a wonderful husband .... is he just not the greatest?!!

Adi, Pangeran Sulungku

Adi sudah tidak bisa melihat jelas ke papan tulis". Demikian ujar anakku di awal minggu ini. Aku duduk di sampingnya sambil menemani si bungsu belajar. Ehm, harus segera mengantarnya ke dokter mata, memeriksakan kondisi mata, lalu ke toko kacamata memesan kacamata dengan ukuran sesuai bagi matanya.

Masih terbayang masa-masa kecilnya dahulu, aku rajin membuat jus wortel untuk diminum sekeluarga. Namun ternyata, jika memang sudah demikian jalannya, tidak bisa dihindari juga. Anakku harus berkacamata. Faktor keturunan? Mata lelah karena membaca? Hmm.

Papa Gia

Seorang anak adalah anugrah terindah, yang bakal bikin hari-hari indah penuh cahaya pelangi... Orang yang kaku sekalipun, bisa menjadi penyanyi hebat demi anaknya, meninabobokan, bersenandung bahagia. Walau terkadang emosi jiwa bisa membuat rasa jengkel bangkit karena ulah mereka juga.

Bagai bintang berpendar di langit jauh, anak-anak akan tumbuh berkembang menggapai segala cita dan keinginan mereka, meretas jalan dalam wujudkan impian kehidupan mereka. Terjatuh dan bangkit kembali berkali, hadapi rintangan yang mungkin bakal sesakkan dada mereka, bahkan saat kita tidak bisa selalu hadir untuknya. Namun yakinlah, bahwa kasih Tuhan akan membuat mereka tumbuh tegar, sekuat batu karang, se indah menara Eiffel yang menjulang, dalam menggapai pelangi impian mereka....
