Father

Father is a leader in our house. We cannot do anything without his permission. He's like our mother, has contribution to educate us. I remember the first time i learned to ride motorcycle. He taught me very well and instructed me for not riding motorcycle over 60 km/hours. We rode our old motorcycle to a village, because there were not many vehicles passed through the road. I also still could smell pure air without pollutions contaminated.
I was happy. I will not forget the moments. The feeling seems like we played together around fallen flowers. I remember Mia Michaels made the choreographic about a father and his child played together. This dance was performed by Neil and Lacey in American reality show, So You Think You Can Dance?
Father is like a moon in the night that shines on earth. He's a friend whenever i need an advice. He's a help whenever i need it. To say thanks to our father for what he has done to us make us ready to become a father. What he has done become our example to educate and treat our children. He's a mirror of us as a parent of our children. So don't make him disappointed. He has given us a way until we are a father.
I love my father, but i never told him even once. I don't know why it's hard to say it. But i ever heard Kenny Rogers Song, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?
I describe it as a conversation between a child to his/her father.
One day i tried to call him. And i said that i loved him and i will always love him. I said that i feel sorry for long time never telling him that i loved him. He said that without saying this, he knew it. He said that doing something making him proud is enough for him.

Father, you know how much i love you.

Friend


Do you have friends? We don't realize that our friends have contribution to form our personality. We can share information with our friends, laugh together, tell story around us and even share what we are feeling. Sometimes you need your friend's shoulder to cry on when you get a sadness. Sometimes you scream loudly with your friend as the expression of happiness.
In Islam, there's a lesson about friendship. If the friendship is based on love of God (Allah), God will love them.
I heard Ernita, a friend of mine ever said that friendship never die. I think she's right, but if the friendship is based on love. Sometimes you will feel jealous to your friend for the success or happiness of your friend. It will make your friendship will be sunk faster than when the first time you make it. Keep your friendship, so it never end.
It's different if you don't have friend. There are many people around you, but you don't want to make friends with them. Sometimes you feel you can solve your problem by yourself. It seems like you don't need to have a friend. You're wrong. You forget that you ever feel alone sometimes. Who will help when you need it? Who will bring your body to graveyard when you're gone? You may not do it by yourself, right?
Well, start to say halo to your neighbour. Ask how your work partner is. Break your routine temporary and ask to your staff whether any problems or not. It will be good beginning to start the friendship.

Mother (Ibu)



There was a conversation between me and my mom since i was a kid.
"Mother, will i be in a hell later?" i asked. "No, my dear. You will be in heaven," she said gently.
This conversation will always be recorded in my memory and i never forget this, because i feel peaceful whenever i remember it.
We are always known better by our mother. She is always with us wherever we are. She represent God in this world.
Now we live far away from her. We sink in our activities. But a mother always wait for us at home patiently. She understand that we cannot go home to see her because of our activities. Every second she think about us, we think about our jobs, carriers, our family, our friends, our business relations etc. We forget how she treated us since we were a baby till we grew up. Actually she want to call us, but she's afraid she would bother to us while we are busy and never give her a call.
Look around us, there are many people as we are. Call our mom sometimes, my friend. Break our activity to say hello to our mom. She will be happy to hear our voice. Say that you love her so much. Say thanks to her that she had given us birth and treated us very well.
Whatever she did to us, she'll always be a mother, someone who give us life. Our ticket to enter heaven will be on our mother later.
Thanks, mom. I recognized love from you for the first time. You are the best thing in my life. Your love give me a better life and save me from a hellfire.

Dream of World Peace

Since i was a kid, i heard and watched on TV. There are many wars, disasters which caused death and people starved. And people just can watch and don't give a helping hands. Then i have a dream, i hope we can stand together, holding hands each other and making world peace.
I think i'm not alone. There are many people out there who has same imagination like mine. When the song belong to John Lenon played, i heard the lyric. It's same as my dream. So i believe i'm not alone.
Declan Galbraith with his song "Tell Me Why?" also represent what i think.
Someone must speak loudly. Someone must be able to convince the leaders in the world to make it. There are no more weapons, guns, missiles and mass killer machines. We need a wise guy who think first before doing an action, who convince the worlds based on evidences not based on slander, someone who think civilians side when he want to find who he hunt and someone who has love in his/her heart.
Well, i believe i'm not the only one who has this dream. You has it too.
