8 lies of a mother
1.The story began when I was a child;
I was born as a son of a poor family.
Even for eating, we often got lack of food.
Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice.
While she was removing her rice into my bowl,
she would say "Eat this rice, son. I'm not hungry".
That was Mother's First Lie
2.When I was getting to grow up,
the persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house,
she hoped that from the fishes she got,
she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth.
After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup,
which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup,
mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish,
which was still on the bone of the fish I ate.
My heart was touched when I saw it.
I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her.
But she immediately refused it and said "Eat this fish, son.
I don't really like fish."
That was Mother's Second Lie.
3.Then, when I was in Junior High School,
to fund my study,
mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in.
It gave her some money for covering our needs.
As the winter came,
I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke,
supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued
the work of sticking some used-matches box.
I said, "Mother, go to sleep, it's late,
tomorrow morning you still have to go for work.
" Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep,
dear. I'm not tired."
That was Mother's Third Lie.
4.At the time of final term,
mother asked for a leave from her work in order to accompany me.
While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine,
the strong and persevering mother
waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine for several hours.
As the bell rang, which indicated that the final exam had finished,
mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a glass of tea
that she had prepared before in a cold bottle.
The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love,
which was much thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration,
I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too.
Mother said "Drink, son. I'm not thirsty!".
That was Mother's Fourth Lie.
5.After the death of my father because of illness,
my poor mother had to play her role as a single parent.
By held on her former job, she had to fund our needs alone.
Our family's life was more complicated. No days without sufferance.
Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse,
there was a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us,
either in a big problem and a small problem.
Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our family's life was so unfortunate,
they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother,
who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice,
she said "I don't need love."
That was Mother's Fifth Lie.
6.After I had finished my study and then got a job,
it was the time for my old mother to retire.
But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning,
just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs.
I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs,
but she was stubborn for not accepting the money.
She even sent the money back to me.
She said "I have enough money."
That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
7.After graduated from Bachelor Degree,
I then continued my study to Master Degree.
I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program,
from a famous University in America .
I finally worked in the company. Within a quite high salary,
I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America .
But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son,
she said to me "I'm not used to."
That was Mother's Seventh Lie.
8.After entering her old age,
mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized.
I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean,
directly went home to visit my dearest mother.
She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation.
Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn.
She tried to spread her smile on her face;
even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out.
It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body,
thus she looked so weak and thin.
I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face.
My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition.
But mother, with her strength, said "Don't cry, my dear.
I'm not in pain."
That was Mother's Eight Lie.
After saying her eighth lie, She closed her eyes forever!
**this isn't my true story
i even got this from my friends.
but i'm sure, most of mother in this world would have done this kinda thing.
even my mum had done this couple of lies...
even though not in the exact situation, but she did
n since then, i knew that she love me, n will never stop...
to my greatest mum in Samarinda "Ma, nhira sayang mama"
n also for my amazing mum in Manypeaks "You're such an inspiring figure, Mum"
love u both,,,forever n ever

LET ME GO HOME!!!!
God,,,aku mulai mellow lagi nih...
tapi aku berasa kangeeeen banget sama rumah sekarang.
pengen berada di rumah (nenek)ku, dimana di rumah itu tentunya aku bisa nemuin kehangatan, kenyamanan dan perasaan yang membuat aku selalu pengen ada di sekitar mereka (orang-orang yang aku sayang)...
Malem ini mereka ada dinner seluruh keluarga (bahkan yang di balikpapan juga bela-belain ke samarinda). karena hari ini tuh kiki (sepupu) aku wisuda, n tentunya makan-makan donk...
Trus tadi aku nelpon adekku gitu, ngobrol-ngobrol kalau mereka lagi menuju ke suatu warung X (sengaja disamarkan agar tidak terkesan promosi).
"iya, kita lagi mau makan-makan nih. kan kak kiki wisuda. nih pada ribut nih disini, dari yang nenek-nenek ampe yang kecil-kecil pada ikut datang semua"
apalagi pas abis aku ngomong gitu, 2 tanteku pada ngerebut teleponnya n jadinya malah ngobrol lama....
ditambah lagi pas dengerin celotehan para adek-adek kecil (si alzan n alya -abel nggak kedengeran suaranya-) tambah berasa pengen pulang. coba pintu ajaibnya doraemon bener-bener ada. aku bakal langsung bangkit dan menuju ke pintu itu dengan senang hati..
Hua,,,hua,,,hua,,,hua,,,hu
berasa pengen cepat pulang!!!
padahal liburan ntar aja aku nggak pulang,,baru pulang pas lebaran ntar...
Hhhh,,,masih lama yah???
pas denger suara mereka semua, berasa pengen nangis. cengeng sih emang,,,ditambah lagi sekarang aku lagi sakit, nggak enak badan, badan kagak jelas maunya apa. otomatis perasaan jadi ikut-ikutan mellow.
Mood jadi nge drop abisss,,,,bahkan kalau bisa diukur, below zero kali nih.
kontras banget yah,,mereka disana lagi ngumpul-ngumpul...seneng-s
n aku disini, multi tasking gak jelas (nonton, OL n baca jurnal),,,, mood nggak jelas,,,sendirian,,,sakit,
Kangen rumah,,,,
Kangen semua anggota keluarga aku,,,,
Kangen kamar aku,,,,
Kangen masakan rumah,,,
Kangen Samarinda,,,,

disaat aku lulus ntar, aku pengen bilang “Pa…Ma…Semoga hari ini bisa jadi salah satu hadiah dari Nhira buat Papa n mama…Nhira baru bisa ngasih segini,,mungkin ini semua belum cukup. tapi paling nggak, Nhira pengen mempersembahkan ini buat papa dan mama”

Insya Allah dengan segala restu dan ridho, Nhira akan berhasil meraih apa yang Papa mama n tentunya juga Nhira pengen….

kaya yoyo aja ya,,,ditarik-tarik-ulur…hehehe
Seneng,,,akhirnya papa gak jauh2 lagi kerjanya (walaupun penajam bisa dicapai dengan 2 jam ke balikpapan trus sekitar 15menit naek speed ato 1 jam ferry),,,tapi tetep aja jauh…
sekarang papa berarti bisa bilang met tinggal ma berangkat subuh2 ke penajam…kantor baru juga palingan cuma 10 menit dr rumah,,,itu klo lambat banget,,,hehehe….
