"INDAH PADA WAKTUNYA"

Ketika aku msh kecil, wkt itu ibuku sdg menyulam sehelai kain. Aku yg sdg bermain di lantai, melihat ke atas & bertanya, apa yg ia lakukan. Ia menerangkan bhw ia sdg menyulam sesuatu di atas sehelai kain. Ttp aku memberitahu kpdnya, bhw yg kulihat dr bawah adlh benang ruwet.

Ibu dgn tersenyum memandangiku & berkata dgn lembut:

“Anakku, lanjutkanlah permainanmu, sementara ibu menyelesaikan sulaman ini; nanti stlh selesai, km akan kupanggil & kududukkan di atas pangkuan ibu dan km dpt melihat sulaman ini dr atas.”

Aku heran, mengapa ibu menggunakan benang hitam & putih, bgtu Semrawut menurut pandanganku. Bbrp saat kmdian, aku mendengar suara ibu memanggil; ” anakku, mari kesini, & duduklah di pangkuan ibu. “

Waktu aku lakukan itu, aku heran & kagum melihat bunga-bunga yg indah, dgn latar blkng pemandangan matahari yg sdng terbit, sungguh indah sekali. Aku hampir tdk percaya melihatnya, krn dr bawah yg aku lihat hnylah benang-benang yg ruwet.

Tuhan, aku ingin punya pacar.... ت

“Kenapa?” tanya Tuhan tiba-tiba. Aku yang lagi bengong tiba-tiba sadar.

“Apa?” tanyaku.

“Kenapa kamu pengen punya pacar?” Tuhan bertanya lagi. Kali ini lebih lengkap.

“Kok?” aku yang sejak tadi cuma bengong tanpa ngomong apa-apa agak kaget juga waktu Tuhan nanya langsung gak pake basa basi lagi. Yah, seperti biasanya, aku juga udah tau sih kalo Tuhan tau pikiranku.

“Hueee… Tuhan langsung nembak gitu nanyanya, aku kan jadi malu.” Kataku ngeles.

Tuhan cuma senyum kecil.

“Iya, iya, kenapa ya?” aku mencari-cari alasan yang mungkin akan membuat Tuhan mengabulkan teriakan hatiku yang barusan kedengeran sama Tuhan.

“Karena…” aku mulai dengan nada sedatar-datarnya. “Karena, Tuhan bilang gak baik kalo manusia sendirian, butuh penolong. Iya kan? Untuk bermultiplikasi. Hehehe…” 

Ga yakin dengan jawabanku, aku menundukkan kepala, menyembunyikan senyumku, menggigit bibirku.

“Nyari jawaban yang alkitabiah ya?” Tuhan sok nebak-nebak.

Mukaku memerah. Aku tau Tuhan juga uda tau kenapa aku teriak pengen punya pacar di dalem hati. 

Aku pengen ada yang sayang-sayang, ada yang perhatiin, biar ga kesepian, dan ada yang cariin terus. 

Hehe… bukannya begitu ya keinginan setiap cewek single yang lagi menanti pacar?

Valentine's Day

("you touch my heart")

You've given me a reason

For smiling once again,
You've filled my life with peaceful dreams
And you've become my closest friend.
You've shared your heartfelt secrets
And your trust you've given me,
You showed me how to feel again

To laugh, and love, and see.

If life should end tomorrow

And from this world I should part,

I shall be forever young

For you have touched my heart

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
(William Shakespeare)

THE YEAR OF THE TIGER

02/14/2010 - 02/02/2011 (Metal)

According to the Chinese Zodiac , the Year of 2010 is the Year of a Golden Tiger, which begins on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011. The first day of the lunar New Year 2010 falls on the 14th day of February, which is Saint Valentine's Day, so it is a day the West celebrates as a lovers' day, a day of romance. To the Chinese, it is the start of the Golden Tiger Year. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage. This fearless and fiery fighter is revered by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts. On New Year's day itself, it is beneficial to celebrate, to be happy, to have smiling faces, and to refrain from scowling, quarreling, or criticizing anyone.

The Tiger and Its Meaning

The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and is feared and revered in equal measure. It features in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty.

People born in the Year of the Tiger are generally well liked because of their charming personalities. Often, failing at a given task or being unproductive in his personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a deep depression. Criticism from loved ones can also generate this type of Tiger reaction.

Tigers are fond of competitions. They simply cannot pass up a challenge. They may appear cool and are unpredictable, and it would be unwise to underestimate their reactions. Natural leaders, they have a strong sense of their own dignity. They are intelligent, alert, and farsighted. Good strategists and tacticians, they often have a hidden agenda. As long as they do not risk their luck too often, and keep their restless nature under control, they will enjoy success and happiness.
