Mengenang dua tahun yang lalu ketika mereka melamarku

Di suatu sore ada pesan masuk dari adikku Isna yang menanyakan apakah aku pulang ke rumah hari ini. Saat itu aku masih ngontrak di deket kantor. Aku bilang kayaknya nggak jadi pulang. Tapi adikku kekeuh, ayolah kak pulang, kita makan bareng di mall deket rumah. Rasanya saat itu males banget. Sejak ngontrak deket kantor, aku udah jarang banget untuk jalan-jalan sepulang kerja. Entah kenapa, rasanya pulang kerja itu pengen cepet di rumah aja, ngerjain ini itu atau istirahat. Karena biasanya kalo malemnya jalan, aku udah nggak fokus, hahaha balada morning person juga. Dan besok paginya moodnya suka nggak bagus kalo tidurnya nggak cukup. Dan itu suka mempengaruhi aktifitasku seharian. Tapi kali itu aku menyanggupi juga ajakan adikku. Dia ngajak makan di luar, dengan calon adik iparku juga, Agung. Jadi saat itu mereka memang sedang sibuk mempersiapakan pernikahannya. Ngomong-ngomong tentang pernikahan sang adik, saat itu aku sudah lumayan siap untuk mempersilahkan mereka menikah duluan. Memang di budaya kita sedikit nggak umum kalau adik menikah duluan dari sang kakak. Aku pun dulu juga mikirnya, aku dulu yang nikah hahahaha. Apalagi orang tuaku, mereka berharap besar kalau aku yang menikah duluan.

Tapi, seiring berjalannya waktu, ternyata takdir yang mempertemukan adikku dulu dengan jodohnya. Aku pun menerima. Aku sudah banyak melihat di sekitarku juga yang adiknya menikah duluan. Aku juga sempet tanya sama Indy dulu, gimana rasanya kalo adik kita menikah duluan. Indy bilang biasa aja nggak sedih, haaha. Yaudah aku pun menerimanya biasa aja. Aku nggak kaya Cincia yang langsung buru-buru cari pacar yang mau dijadikan suami dalam waktu singkat hahahha. Eh enggak deng, aku juga sempet agak kaget, tapi untungnya cuma sebentar. Kagetnya juga rasanya campur-campur, karena aku juga bahagia, aku juga pernah berdoa supaya adikku segera bertemu dengan jodohnya, berarti doaku terwujud juga. Anyway, balik lagi ke acara makan malam itu. Aku kira cuma makan malam biasa, aku makan ramen waktu itu sambil ngobrol-ngobrol sama adikku, Agung belum datang. Ketika Agung datang ternyata ada pembicaraan serius yang ia utarakan. Disitulah aku terharu. Dia minta izin untuk menikah dengan adikku, di situ ia seperti melamarku untuk menjadi kakak iparnya, ia memberikan sebuah kalung dan kado untukku. Aku terenyuh. Aku nggak pernah berharap apa-apa. Aku pernah dengar juga tentang pelangkah, atau hadiah untuk kakak yang dilangkahi. Kalau mereka tanya aku pasti aku akan bilang aku nggak mau minta apa-apa. Atau kalau pun akan ada hadiah aku nggak pernah menyangka caranya mereka memberikan seperti ini. Sungguh romantis :). Aku terharu, terima kasih Agung dan Isna, restuku untuk kalian tak pernah putus, doaku selalu menyertai keluarga kalian, saat ini dan seterusnya.

Sekian ceritanya, mungkin ada yang terinspirasi mau melamar calon kakak iparnya juga setelah baca ini :)

5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY JAPAN TRIP



Hi guys, I hope you are well at the moment. If you feel not really well, I wish it will pass soon. Anyway, I just went back from Japan last week (I write this post on the second week of April 2019). It was an amazing 10 day trip that worth doing. Actually I just have no idea about my writing style, it's like I have a lot of things that I want to tell. Okay, I am trying to write about this first, five things I love about my last Japan Trip, here we go:

The Beauty of Blooming Sakura

Even though it's not my first time seeing Sakuara in Japan, I still amazed with the beauty of Sakura. It just lovely to walk and to see Sakura blooms beautifully around our side.

Getting Stuff That I Need 

One thing I love about Japan is its unique stuff that I've never seen in other parts of the world. The stuff that were produced has good, detail and useful design. I just bought a hanging place to put sponge to wash dishes (see.. it's simply but useful!). I also got a lunch box, shoe soles (my old shoes can be used again!), some pouches and lotions for my hand and body. Another good stuff I got are watch and glasses. I got All of those stuff with cheap price!

Meeting My Japanese Friend, Izumi 

I was so happy that I can meet Izumi in Kunitachi. I just knew about Kunitachi area, it's in Tokyo side. The area is so beautiful in Spring. Izumi and I strolled around the University Lane, had lunch and visited supermarket and shop there. I was so happy to meet her, she told me a lot of things about Japan, she help me to read japanese characters and to speak to other people in Japanese language. It was a lovely day!

Talking to Hello Kitty, OMG. 

Hello Kitty is one of my favorite cartoons. I meet and talk personally with Hello Kitty in USJ, it was fun! She said my clothes is beautiful btw, thanks Hello Kitty!

Seeing Mount Fuji Clearly

I have never expected that I can see mount Fuji as beautiful as I saw that time. Moreover, when my friends said that sometimes when the weather is not good, it's difficult to see the Mount Fuji.  I was so amazed when I saw mount Fuji from the bus. And it became clear when I arrived in Gotemba. Thanks God, it completed my Japan trip beautifully.

Gotemba Station

I met Hello Kitty here 

University lane, Kunitachi


Overall, I had a great time in Japan. Those ten days give me new experience and perspectives. I hope I will be able to manage the same trip again next year to Japan! 

Thanks for reading and wish you have a lovely life!

a little life update

It's been ten days of Ramadan, a holy month for moslems. It means that we have been fasting for ten days, oh okay actually I have been fasting for 15 days because I started fast early. What I have experienced after 15 days fasting continuously is I feel calmer. I think a lot lately. I become less interested in joining breakfasting with my friends in public areas (I just prefer to breakfast at home with my family and do my prayer more focus).  At first I just confused what has happened. Why I am so calm this past days. But then I realize that probably it is really a result of my fasting. Hopefully. Anyway, I also have some good stories. I am happy seeing my little niece grows so healthy and happy. I also just come back from Japan, yay! and still have a trip plan this year.  Hopefully I can write more in this blog. Thanks for reading, I hope you guys are well.


Cheers,
