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.

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.

Circle of Life

I was born & raised with Disney's stories, so I grew up into a dreamy young lady. This night, this old song made by the BEST musician IS REALLY HYPNOTIZED me. *** Circle of Life (OST. The Lion King) From the day we arrive on the planet And, blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high Through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life
