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 House

The house is the perfect copy of our old house. That’s why it’s very precious to me. Its front, the layout, the stairs, the room arrangements, down to the balcony. The place where both of my grandparents were still healthy. I’ve been missing him since yesterday, you know. And it didn’t dissipate until today, it gets worse. I hope he’s okay there. By this time I know that once someone is gone, you really never see them anymore. Not even in your dream. And I started to lose any ideas of how to see him, when his old photos begin to blur just as much as the memory. We miss you, Angku. We miss you so much and we don’t know how to deal with it.  I hope life after life treats you good. The only thing that we can give to you now is our prayer and our never ending love.  Please, can you just visit me in my dream from time to time? I’m just missing you a lot and it might’ve lessen the pain a little bit. We love you, Angku. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 11 Juli 2025. Hari Jumat, pukul...

Laughter in The Fire

There’s this laughter in the fire So amazingly free, it baffles everyone who see. “Does she have no worries?” Everyone asked. Oh but she did, darling. She just choose to laugh her heart out in that moment of fire. For the fire’s too pretty, Too fierce to be weight by our past and present worries. Tomorrow we’ll have all day of everyday to get back to that. But for now, let’s just laugh with no worries. For we need that laugh to keep us going. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 21 Mei 2025.
