Sister's Story


Ini tentang kakak saya.
Kakak saya, perempuan, saat ini berusia 26 tahun. Usianya tiga tahun di atas saya.
September ini dia akan berulang tahun ke 27 tahun.
Bila dia seperti gadis pada umumnya, mungkin dia sudah akan menikah, belanja bareng dengan saya, bertukar gossip dan cerita pribadi. Namun, karena dia berbeda, semua itu dapat kami lakukan tidak dua arah, searah saja. Kakak saya, penderita down syndrome.

Dia tidak pandai berbicara. Kata per kata yang keluar dari mulutnya ada yang bermakna, ada pula yang tidak. Keduanya tidak jelas dilafalkan olehnya. Dia juga tidak pandai merangkai kata dalam berbicara. Dapat dikatakan irit.

Dia tidak sepenuhnya memahami maksud pembicaraan lawan bicara. Jangan pernah berbicara dengan kalimat panjang dan kompleks. Dia tidak paham. Dia hanya tahu kalimat-kalimat standar dan utama. Terutama ajakan dan suruhan yang familiar dan dia sukai. Makan, tidur, main ke luar, mandi, gosok gigi, bernyanyi. Pastikan berbicara saat dia fokus, jika tidak siap-siap saja didiamkan dalam durasi waktu yang tidak diketahui.

Dia periang dan pencari perhatian. Dia senang menyapa orang lewat, bermain dengan anak-anak, tertawa lepas dengan tamu.

Namun, dia sangat sensitif. Saya pernah membaca bahwa orang dengan down syndrome sangat sensitive apabila hatinya tersakiti. Pernah saya memarahinya, ia menangis. Menangis terus sampai terisak-isak parah. Sesalah-salahnya dia, tetap saja hati saya tidak nyaman melihatnya.

Dia pemakan segala, dengan porsi besar. Dia menyukai makanan manis seperti oreo yang dia lafalkan oeo. Namun dia membenci buah-buahan dengan aroma pekat seperti mangga, durian, dan sawo. Kecintaannya dengan oreo seringkali membuat masalah saat saya membawanya berbelanja ke supermarket. Bayangkan, banyak oreo dimasukkan dengan paksa ke troli belanjaan, yang mau tidak mau harus dibayarkan agar dia tidak sedih.

Dia tidak bisa mandi dan buang air dengan bersih sendirian. Pertolongan dari orang lain selalu dia harapkan. Acap kali dia meminta tolong ke saya untuk membersihkannya atau menyiapkan pakaiannya.

Dia berperan sebagai anak dan saudara perempuan setia yang sempurna. Dia menunggu saya, orang tua saya, adik saya, apabila ke luar dari rumah di pagi hari. Ia menunggu di dekat jendela, sampai sore hari tiba, ia akan terus bertanya ke orang rumah bilamana kami kembali. Hal ini yang memanggil hati saya untuk pertama kali menyapanya dan memeluknya sesampainya di rumah.

Seperti anak yang lainnya, dia membutuhkan perhatian akan eksistensinya, dari masing-masing kami. Bergabung dalam pembicaraan, tanpa suara, namun ikut tertawa. Menemani saat menonton, tidur di samping saya saat saya sedang menyetrika, menonton bersama, dan lain sebagainya.

Namanya Sylvia. Bagaimanapun, dia adalah kakak terbaik, tidak hanya bagian melainkan berkat bagi keluarga kami.

Wedding Phenomenon, these days


Bukan, ini bukan post galau, pundung, linglung, have nowhere to go. Ini juga bukan menyindir Fenomena (yes, I use word Phenomenon) yang sekarang ini sedang mushrooming di sekitar saya, dan mungkin perempuan usia 23 yang lainnya.

Well, awal bulan Juni ini, saya sudah mempersiapkan kehadiran (tepatnya dress dan sepatu) ke kondangan nikahan dua teman saya di awal Juli. Both of them, 24-25 years old, oke lah yah, sudah pacaran 3 tahun lebih, dua-duanya sudah bekerja, yah make sense lah. Suddenly gempuran wedding thingy muncul kembali kemarin saat saya ditelfon teman saya terkait undangan acara lamaran. Same age as mine then ! Dan kemudian semakin aneh saat tadi pagi saya mendapat wedding invitation untuk akhir minggu ini.

I don’t give any shit with ppl same age, or commonly just approximately age as I am, that dare enough getting married in this too productive age.

Saya ga galau pengen cepet2 nikah ngikutin tren yang beredar saat ini. Sejak awal saya sudah berprinsip *cailaaah, getting married on the right time, right place, with right people *yaiyalaaaah.  Then, how can I define the word “right”? Well, bisa-bisa berfluktuasi tergantung kondisi saya sendiri, yah maunya mapan secara finansial dan sudah merasa siap menjadi partner seumur hidup bagi dan untuk si pasangan tersebut. Namanya saja keinginan yah, kondisi pra pernikahan menjadi hal utama menurut saya. Where will I live, What will I eat, What will I wear, dan yang pasti saya ingin at least berada dalam kondisi financial yang sama dengan saat saya belum menikah. Ini bukan matre, ini realistis. When I have some doubts, 1% only, saya tidak akan mengambil resiko untuk menggantungkan hidup saya kepada orang tersebut. No way. Pernikahan hanya sekali seumur hidup, salah satu momen paling berharga, dan jelas saya tidak mau menyesali pernikahan. *lohjadicurhat

Lalu, dengan banyaknya kerabat di sekitar saya yang mulai menikah, yang kembali saya ingat adalah, this is the part of life, the era of life. After finishing study, then working, getting married, having baby, and so on and so on. Saya jelas tidak dapat menyangkal hal tersbut, karena itu adalah cycle of life yang sudah membudaya dari jaman batu, hehe.. Perihal kapan seseorang berpindah dari satu fase ke fase selanjutnya merupakan kesiapan serta kesanggupan masing-masing individu. 

Saya ga pernah menyalahkan kenapa sih orang-orang tersebut menikah muda, mengapa mereka seperti memajukan fase kehidupan mereka pada usia yang menurut saya belum saatnya. Toh, saya juga meyakini paham setiap orang memiliki private life masing-masing yang ga pantas dicampuri oleh orang lain.

In this part, I give much support and I truly appreciated their keberanian mereka untuk memasuki fase kehidupan selanjutnya, di usia yang masih muda. I wish them happily ever after.
Tidak ada yang tahu apa rencana Tuhan, dan memang mungkin rencanaNya seperti itu kepada si teman saya itu.

Dalam post ini, saya memblok pemikiran saya terkait alas an utama menikah muda karena desakan orang tua atau keluarga, Married Because Accident, dan menghalalkan hal yang haram jika belum menikah (you know lah).

Elder Couple, sweet




pics are grabbed from here and here

Love, everyone loves love. Young, old, male, female, child, sissy, pet, tree, everything !
But the pics, show love in when you older.
I imagine about hugging when your body already fragile, kissing when your mouth already toothless, and holding hands when your hands already wrinkled. Cute and sweet :)
I love the eternity of love.

Ps: I already tell about this inspiration to my hubby, he loves it too. :)

Love

What is love? I found the definition from here and it seems i have seen it before in Bible (CMIIW)

Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are
three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is

love

What is love for you ?

Friendship between Man and Woman

picture is grabbed from here

"The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success."
-Anna Garlin Spencer-

i do believe with friendship between man and woman, because i do have it. and it is as beautiful as love with your partner

am i the rare one?

i dont think so..
