Surat cinta untuk MamaPapa

Sebagai seorang anak, terkadang kita merasa “boleh” memberi kritik terhadap sikap orangtua kita mengenai suatu hal, kita menuntut “kesempurnaan” dari mereka. Namun seringkali kita lupa bahwa tidak ada satu pun orang di dunia ini yang sempurna, termasuk orangtua kita. Kita harus selalu ingat bahwa mereka, dalam segala keterbatasannya, selalu berjuang, melakukan yang terbaik hanya demi kita. Mereka akan selalu ada disamping kita dengan suka cita menopang anak-anaknya, seperti yang sudah mereka lakukan sedari dulu saat mereka menopang kita belajar berjalan, sekarang mereka masih terus dan akan selalu menopang kita menuju masa depan.

 

Surat cinta untuk MamaPapa

 

Orangtuaku tak sempurna

Lalu kenapa?

Apakah ada orangtua yang sempurna?

Maksudku, apakah ada orang di dunia ini yang sempurna?

Setahuku, hanya Tuhan-lah kesempurnaan yang sejati.

 

Orangtuaku tak sempurna

Mereka tidak berada disampingku saat masa2 penting pertumbuhanku

Lalu kenapa?

Apakah hal tersebut mengurangi rasa cintaku terhadap mereka?

Tidak, Aku tetap sangat mencintai mereka, 

dengan segenap jiwa dan ragaku.

 

Orangtuaku tak sempurna

Namun dalam segala keterbatasannya

Mereka tetap memberiku rumah dan keluarga

Mereka memberiku keluarga yang tiada dua-nya.

Keluarga yang sangat kusayangi dengan seluruh hidupku.

Keluarga dengan Kakek, Nenek, Oom dan Tante 

yang sangat menyayangiku.

Aku tidak kurang sesuatu apapun.

 

Orangtuaku tak sempurna

Namun ku tahu, 

mereka memiliki alasan pasti dibalik keputusan2 mereka

Aku tahu

berada jauh dengan kami bukanlah hal yang mudah bagi mereka

Aku tahu 

bahwa mereka akan melakukan apapun demi kami anak-anaknya

Dan mereka sangat,

sangat mencintai kami lebih dari apapun di dunia 

 

Dan Aku sangat, sangat bersyukur menjadi anak dari kedua orangtuaku.

The city of Malacca

I always love photography and this  piqturesque city is just a great fit for me. With its rich history and the red square that’s very touristy, this walkable city  is one of UNESCO’s world heritage;  along with Penang and its George  Town famous mural on the wall. Oh thank God my place is near this beautiful little town. It’s my third time here and  still, an all time favorite all in all. This time I’m here with hubby, hoping  next time we’ll be back with baby. Pretty sure he’ll enjoy this city  just as much as mommy. The vibrant color, its laidback atmosphere with beautiful lights show all over the city is really one to die for. This city has pulse, so alive in its own way. The city that instantly & completely feels  like home. I hope, oh I hope each of you also  has one particular city that hold your heart forever, I hope you find your  own home away from home.

The soft orange wall

There’s a nice glow from the room outside. It was warm, inviting, pretty. Ever so beautiful like we live in the golden hour, all time glow. I hope the new room will bring new adventure to baby. With its soft orange colored wall,  surrounded with toys that he likes and people that he loves. I hope he’ll grow as warm as his new wall.  Bold but not too bold; brave but not too brave, only enough. Enough to make people sit & feel comfortable with him and his presence.  The wall is cautious, warm & beautiful. An instant homely feelings will be felt when you take your first step into the room.  I hope, oh I hope that room will always remind him of home. I hope it will always remind him of us.  Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 27 Maret 2025. Hari Kamis, pukul 10 pagi.

A Letter to My Baby

I want you to see, baby. I want you to see that we’re just a human as much as anybody. That Mama sometimes cry and a little sappy, that she might even cry when she’s angry. Your Papa is generally funny but  he might be quiet when he’s worry. We love hard & play hard but of course we still fight, we talk good and do good but mistakes will still be made. I want you to know that it is okay to be mad when you’re angry; to be sad when you’re lonely, to be jelly, to feel icky and to  experience any emotions other  than feeling happy. Sometimes people still smile even when they do not feel so smiley. It’s the thing people do for many reasons, really. They are just complex with all of their story. And we human often are difficult with feelings, but it is always good to let things out than to bottled it up. Because the explosion might not be pretty. So please just be kind to everyone, baby. Because we all deserve of being loved just as much as everybody. The messiness, the cra...
