The Little Women

Have you ever gotten tired of living in colors? Or sounds, for that matter. Black and white may be too contrast and a little bold but perhaps grey gives you just the exact comfort. As someone who writes I find joy in solitude, when the things I hear are fork clinks against my plates and bustle of busy bees in the outer world. Sometimes I also hear rays of sunshine gleam through surfaces. I believe that things have sounds of their own, silence included. To me, silence and solitude color like sunshine.  That still, beautiful silence that the only thing you witness is peace, when your mind is finally quiet and everything is right in the world. So what about you? What color matter most to you, and why? Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, September 30th 2026. Written at 3am on a Wednesday.

There are kisses on the timeframe Shared in secret, celebrate in silence. Until it’s time to announce. The engagement, the wedding, the due date; then the celebratory gets bigger, and bigger still. It goes way ‘til later, late in life. When you celebrate each other still, When you cheer for one another still, When you share those secret kisses and the secret laughs, still. Those are the times when you know  that you’ve won big in life. That you have no partner; but bestfriend. You have no relationship; but deep connections. You have no love;  but adorations. That you are two, and two are one. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, June 28th 2026. Written at 8am on a Sunday.

Child birthday is today, and he will celebrate his in the most amazing way. With beloved friends and family at school in one day & amazing teachers that will help him in every step of the way. Please, take good care of my boy like we take care of him. Pray for him like we pray for him & dance with him like we dance with him. He’s pretty chippery (like you might  know already), big body but a big  heart  also. He’s brave but  sometimes he is afraid also Please guide him to your best ability then he will gladly grow to his best ability. Cheers, friends & teachers dearest. Let’s have fun celebrating Tondi’s big 3, in his awesome  threenager party! Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, August 3rd 2026. Written at 4am on a Monday.

Hello there, would you like to go out with me? You can pick the place, but I pick the music. You will pick that place, and I will pick that music. Same old, same old; old people said. Same person, same history, different destiny. One curled up with her little family and the other, fought everyday in the name of dedicacy. One manages her little ones, while the other manages her small & big patients but they smile, either way. Deeply grateful of each and everyday. Both fight their own battles, none richer than the other. All rich in understanding of meaning & understanding of a human being. So hey, would you like to go out with me?

Do you know what happens when one loses another? How will it be? Will it be monstrous or on  the contrary, a relief? I guess it depends on how one  loves another, though. Whether the love is soul-deep or just skin-deep Because soul-deep is understanding, respecting, loving, While skin-deep sometimes involves mockery, or even rivalry (of one thing or another) If it’s the latter then it might be a relief. So tell me, then. Does love suffice or is character the virtue? Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, April 22nd 2026. Written at 6am on a Wednesday.

  I know my child sometimes dreams a whole-hearted dream Where he’d be tossing and turning accompanied by an occasional shriek and scream,  Sometimes he even cries on some small corner of his eyes. I honestly don’t know whether it’s a sad feeling or simply a bad dream; Is it a universal thing or only in my offspring; So tell me, honestly, tell me what do you think?
