the Story of the Mother Cat

It's been awhile since the last time I write. These past days went crazy. I had final exam, I had lots of work, and at the end.... I'm exhausted. But not in the negative way because I'm feeling blessed for everything that I accomplished.

And today I'd like to write about a bond between a mother and a child.

A few days ago, I went ngebakso with my Momma. Yes, ngebakso gerobakan. And we were surrounded by wild cats consist of a mother cat with its 2 kittens (Cute overloads!). And as we knew, cats love to asked for foods, there weren't any different from these cats.

The mother cat jumped to the empty chair right next to me, poked me with its paw, and meow-ing me with its big eyes, coding that she wanted me to share my food with her. Have you ever watch Puss in Boots in Shrek when he had his cute face mode on? The mother cat DID that to me. Gosh, How can't I resist?!

I cut my meatballs and dropped it to the floor, the mother cat saw me then she jumped to the floor, sniffed the meatballs, and just then before she started to eat, her 2 kittens approached to her. She didn't do anything but she pushed the meatballs to get closer with her children. The 2 kittens sniffed the meatballs too, and the mother cat sat there peacefully while her children ate the meatballs.

I was touched.

The mother cat looked starving but she gave her meatballs to her children, like duh, even animals have feeling! Even the wild cat has that!

I told my Momma what just I saw before, and she laughed. "That's a mother, honey," she said calmly.

But I felt sorry for the mother cat because she didn't eat...

Then, as if she knew what I thought, my Momma dropped her meatballs to the mother cat. The cat looked at my Momma, but she doubtly sat there. As if she didn't know whether she was going to eat it or give it to her children.

"Eat. You're hungry, aren't you?" Said my Momma to her. "I'm giving you this, don't waste it."

The mother cat meow-ing my Momma as if she said, "Thank you", right before she started to eat the meatballs.

That day, a simple lesson of life came out from the animal. Us, as human, should be ashamed.

Keputusan Besar

Just like that. We finally decided that we'll go on our own way. :) Lega. Campur aduk. Deg-degan. Nggak ada perasaan sedih ataupun marah. Tapi, aku memang penasaran.. apakah aku dan pasanganku bisa memulai hidup sendiri tanpa kehadiran satu sama lain? Pasanganku saat ini memang banyak membawa pelajaran hidup. Dia membuatku menjadi lebih melihat dunia, lebih luwes, lebih santai, bisa tertawa daripada pusing memikirkan berbagai hal, dan bisa beristirahat sejenak. Sifat negatifnya pun banyak sekali, yang melatar belakangi aku memikirkan kembali hubungan ini. Rasanya, sudah cukup kami mendapatkan pelajaran masing-masing. Kami sama-sama mengakui, kami tidak bisa melihat masa depan kami secara bersama. Kami saat ini hanya menjalani rutinitas yang sudah terbiasa karena terbentuk bertahun-tahun. Kedua anak kami layak mendapatkan cinta yang utuh sebagai keluarga, namun kami tau kami tidak akan bisa memberikannya jika tetap bersama. Kami sama-sama berhak mendapatkan cinta yang utuh, hati yan...

Hey, Stranger

The first time I met you, I was paralyzed by your charm. Hypnotized and feeling warm. Then sat beside you, didn't know who you were. We were stranger back then. Your dazzling eyes knocked me down, that you did. I didn't even know what was it. It was something new for me to feel. You were always there whenever and wherever I was. Though it was just in a mind of mine. Hey, stranger, what have you done? Months passed earlier than I thought. Weird... cause God brought you to my life. Ten hours a day though I felt it wasn't enough. Everyday was like a real fairy tale, that it was. Hey, stranger, did you even remember how we were here? The first time I met you, I knew what kind of person you were. Cold hearted with guts, that you were. This feeling was true and pure. I was right because I got hurt. But I'd stay not retreat. Autumn and winter had passed. Left us with spring and new hopes. Hey, stranger, didn't you see that?

Mama ❤️

"You have to keep going with him. Think about your children," they said. "You were the victim of a broken home child. Don't let it happen to your kids," they said. Meanwhile, my mama: "Nita,⁩ gimana kabarnya semua..? Mama akan laporkan KDRT klu dia tidak bisa menepati janjinya ke mama utk menjaga baik² Nita, Hagia, Melodie. Nita hrs lawan KDRT ya, dan selalu lindungi dg penuh kasih sayang Hagia dan Melodie ya sayaang.. 😇🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖" Like, she always texts me like that. She said I need to leave him as soon as he hit me or my children. I think it's already in her instinct. I don't tell my mama that we fight, hit each other, and I have bruises because of him. She would kill him. Although I'm already a mother, I'm still her daughter. When I find a better man, who loves me deeply, who's soft and kind, she will let her guard down because she knows I'll be in the right hand. I realize now, I love my life so much. And, I won't...

I think my boss is right. I forgot to taking care of myself. I can't balancing my life as a mother, an employee, and a person. I'm overwhelmed. I'm tired. I'm exhausted It's time for me to take a rest. I will keep going, but, first, I need to put myself together again. Terbentur, terbentur, terbentur... terbentuk.

Sampul Buku dan Lembarannya

Boleh nggak saya memohon satu hal? Cukup sederhana. Kebanyakan dari kalian hanya memandang sampul sebuah buku. Jika sampul itu berupa kulit, kalian akan langsung mengambilnya. Kalau buku itu hanyalah buku usang, entah siapa yang akan mengambilnya. Disini bukan tentang menilai buku dari sampulnya. Tapi tentang siapa yang akan mengambil buku itu. Munafik memang, kalau kita mengaku tidak melihat orang dari penampilan. Tapi entah kenapa saya letih dengan semua itu. Letih dengan tipuan paling sederhana. Saya ingin kalian tetap menatap saya dalam keadaan terburuk, terjelek. Bukan dalam keadaan sebaliknya. Apa terkesan saya sombong? Tidak, bukan itu maksudnya. Saya hanya ingin kalian membuka buku itu setelah melihat sampulnya. Saya bukan buku bersampul kulit. Saya hanya buku biasa. Lembarannya putih, polos, tanpa coretan. Saya butuh kalian yang dapat mengisi lembaran-lembaran ini, bukan hanya menggeletakkan buku ini ke lemari hingga usang.
