Mencari Kebahagiaan

Segitu banyaknya hal di dunia ini yang bisa membuat orang tertawa, tapi walaupun semua orang yang bahkan sudah mengalami itu pun pasti masih ada yang tetap bertanya, di mana kebahagiaan itu. Terkadang sudah memiliki segala hal seperti harta, karir, kesuksesan, kecukupan, tapi ternyata tidak lengkap saat terpikir bahwa orang tersebut belum memiliki pasangan hidup, atau belum memiliki anak, atau selalu merasa sendirian. Ada yang walaupun hidup berkecukupan tapi sulit untuk tidak melihat hijaunya rumput tetangga. Sehingga sebentar-sebentar maunya cari atau beli rumput yang lebih hijau dari tetangganya. And it keeps going on and on and on, sampai entah kapan orang tersebut merasa cukup bahagia... atau jangan-jangan gak pernah merasa cukup juga... well, who knows...

 

Ada yang salah kalau saya nulis ini? Nggak juga sih... Cuma sempat kepikiran aja belakangan ini. Sejak menikah, saya merasa semakin banyak bersyukur dan berserah (bukannya pasrah ya). Cobaan pasti ada aja yang dateng, tapi untungnya komunikasi, saling percaya, dll membuat hubungan saya dengan istri baik-baik saja. Justru saya merasa beruntung sekali diberikan istri yang luar biasa pengertian, menerima apa adanya (bukan ada apanya). Tidak peduli posisi saya di perusahaan seperti apa, selama kami bisa sama-sama menghasilkan dan menabung untuk mencapai cita-cita kami. Tinggal menunggu kehadiran seorang anak dalam rumah ini hehehe... Semoga Tuhan mendengar doa kami.

 

Seringkali melihat di medsos, temen-temen/ kerabat kami yang pergi jalan-jalan ke luar negeri, dll. Toh kami ujung-ujungnya peginya ke Singapore lagi aja hahaha. Males banget yang jauh-jauh... dan sayang duitnya kalo dipake banyak-banyak, karena ada cita-cita yang lebih besar lagi. Yah... nanti pasti pergi lah, but not in a near future. Yang penting punya anak dulu nih hahahhaha.

 

Seiring waktu, setelah menikah, kenapa yang saya rasakan, susah sekali ngumpul bareng sama temen-temen deket: Joko, Benny, Pipi, Chichi, Yayah, Gouw, Ahau. Yah masing-masing memang udah cukup sibuk dengan urusan masing-masing. Atau barangkali udah punya kelompok lain yang memang mereka jadi lebih deket ke yang lain. That's fine... itu pilihan masing-masing lah untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan. Whatever it is... gue gak lupa lah sama semua memory yang udah dilalui bareng-bareng sama mereka. Tapi eniwei masih sering ketemuan lah sama Erwin, the one that I think my best friend ever. He just graduated his MBA, and currently he is a principal of a consultant company. However, he doesn't care of what you are now, he is very sincere. We make a very good friendship thus far.

 

Siapa lagi ya temen-temen gue yang uda susah ketemu... Temen-temen SD: Ryan, Karen, Avi, Michael, Thomas, Rommel, Willy, Ika, Wuenny. Temen-temen SMP SMA: All bebs, Eka, Lanang, Pia, Amin, Michael ndut. Temen-temen Kuliah: Momon, Kope, Ode, Santi, Nabely, Fiki, Fanny, Yudis, Ono, Deny, Andi, Ivan, Su, Dede, Sontol, Icup (entah dimana), Empe, Bambang, Andi, Panpan. Temen-temen ex-S**re: Indah, Adit, Christin, Yenyen, Erna, Andrias, Limy, Maria... and so many lah yang ga bisa gue sebutin satu2 di sini. Even, my wife always confuses because I have so many friends hahahaha...

 

Am I worried on this? No... I just feel something missing aja. Karena ga nyangka makin susah cari waktu untuk ketemuan hahaha. Setidaknya kerinduan ini aja yang muncul. Hingga di satu titik gue merasa sangat amat bersyukur atas kehidupan ini. Tuhan ngasih gue kesempatan untuk berteman sekian banyaknya sejak gue kecil hingga sekarang ini. You can never please everybody, but at least you have them in your life story, and hopefully they do the same thing of yours.

 

Ada benang merah yang bisa gue ambil dari semua ini, hubungan ini, persahabatan yang pernah terjalin, dan terus terjalin walaupun frekuensi berkurang, tapi intensitas tetap sama. Semoga kita gak lupa satu sama lain ya, guys. Ternyata kebahagiaan itu sesederhana itu. Mengingat semua kepahitan masa lalu, malah jadi gula yang paling manis setelah bertahun-tahun yah hahaha. Hingga akhirnya setiap ketemu, tidak perlu lagi mencoba-coba mencari cerita baru atau ice breaking, cukup mengungkit-ungkit masa lalu aja udah jadi cerita terbaik yang bisa kita obrolin. Dan akhirnya tidak ada lagi kesepian dan kesendirian, yang ada hanya bahagia yang kembali ditemukan J.

 

Dan yang penting... saya bahagia apa adanya... dan semoga terus begitu...

I Missed Her

Last Sunday, my wife went to Padang for holiday with family. Too bad I couldn't come with her. Now, I miss her so much. Her cheerfulness is undeniable. I even cried a bit when I said goodbye at the airport. I missed her already at that time. I love her that much.

Two Years Already

Yesterday was our second year as husband and wife. Time flies damn fast, and I still have the same feeling on you. I still feel the sparks when I see you from far while you are waiting for me for a lunch date or dinner after office hour. I still feel the warmth when hugging you before sleep. I still feel your joy every Friday morning for we will have another weekend to spend together. I always look forward to seeing you again and again when we had a date, and watching you widely smile when you look at me from far. 

Don't forget about the struggles! It is impossible if there were no downs. I know on some points we have disputes, but stay calm and lower the ego, and I am sure we can get through this together. A wise man says that "a couple that grows together, stays together." For whatever reason we have, let's grow together, let's learn together, let's have fun together, love and respect each other, and I really hope I could spend the rest of my life together with you by my side, happy or sad, in a good luck or bad, and if God permits, I also want to spend it together with our children.

Let's explore further... having adventures and be happy.

God bless us, Hun... 

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary.

Happy Wedding, Brother!!!

I am not your father, though. However, last Sunday when I saw you kneeling down in front of our parents, paying honor, and crying like a baby, made me understand more to become a father someday. I was so moved and happy to see you walking down the aisle with your wife. At the same time, I was very happy to see our parents happy and proud. Yes, I am sure they proud.

We may not have an ultimate brotherhood relationship or something like that, but I am sure we love each other, and do care about each other. You may not read this post, as nobody won't, except my wife. I know we may often argue on something for we are stubborn. I know most of the time I dislike your ignorant, uncare, and unorganized behavior. But, I do hope you know that I love and care about you.

I pray for you to have a long lasting marriage with your wife. Blessed with wonderful kids and wealth. And we have better and better relationship as brothers, as well as with all our big family, our parents, sister, siblings in law, relatives, etc.

I remember I was very happy and proud to see you graduated from college. This time I felt the same thing... happy and proud.

Happy wedding, brother!!! God bless you.

This is So So So Frustrating

It has been months when I started to have my disease under treatment, and just found it that it gets much worse after several weeks of positive progress.

At the moment, I can't think any positive thoughts. I just don't know what to do. Lots of money spent, time wasted.

Oh Lord, help me please. I don't know what to do.

Inspiration: I gotta believe

Juat read inspiring true story of a couple where the husband got lunges cancer, and all the fights and struggle they had for years in battling the disease.

We've gotta stay positive and believe His power...
