End With Thanksgiving To GOD

2010-05-03T19:33:00.000-07:00

Did you give something to others, helping others and then those who accept them thank you?
How do you feel when can give something to others, helping others who need help and they say thank you for your help?
Your feelings are certainly pleased and happy, right?
Although only gratitude, but it can improve
Your happiness in giving something.
Thus the feelings of the giver with whom he had given an expression of gratitude.
Do we, that this life is a gift of Allah the Lord of the Own Life?
Life is not our wills, but the will of Allah SWT.
So we stood in the life of this world as an "object" accepting life with all the gifts that He has given. Stand in position ourselves as "servants" or "servant" of Allah the Almighty on our lives.
Realizing position ourselves, think again what has been given
Allah God Almighty Giver to ourselves?
Think again, so much pleasure and a special gift that God has given us. Reflect back what is in us today, how much we already have.
- Health our bodies and our families.
- Clothing and food we have enjoyed over the years.
- Life is calm, peaceful and happy so far.
- How very valuable to have both eyes capable of seeing the world.
- How precious to have both legs that support the load function
our body
What a very special gift of reasonable intelligence and a sound mind.
With the power of reason and intelligence of a healthy mind, humans can live life with different dynamics. Navigating the world with the knowledge, space and depth through the oceans with his intelligence.
Do we think that everything is so trivial and simple, so easy to ignore?
Do we feel it is not nothing compared with what we are after and we do not have all this time?
Think, if we want to swap the two eyes with abundant wealth,
eg.
Or are we willing to sell hearing with gold jewelry?
health mortgaged with the palace towering?
Would we exchanged hands and feet with a luxury car, while we stump?
Or will you we have a mountain of treasure, but reason and mind
unhealthy, aka not sane?
So actually, we have been living in the pleasure would not be willing to let go just for the sake of fortune, wealth, position, pleasure and something that is not the world we have.
No wonder then if later we ever thank the Lord the Giver of Life.
No wonder if then we thank God the Merciful and All-Giver.
Thankful, it means appreciating the gift he gave, the grace of developing your own potential and use it for welfare to self and others.
Grateful consciousness of Allah will be able to open the eyes of our hearts, open our minds to focus on giving and willingness to share, rather than focus on waiting and expecting something that does not exist.
End With Gratitude Habit is humility, acknowledge
acknowledge the gift from Allah the Almighty has a life, not from the other. Does our current position as a businessman, as an employee, as an employee, director, manager, successful people, rich people, leaders, ordinary citizens, or anyone, deserves every step in the end the daily kehiduapn with gratitude. What have we got in the business, in work, in trying to, in essence comes from Allah. It's possible the cause of friends, family, relatives, friends at work, trade, business, or other. All of it is just an intermediary.
So always End With Gratitude Habits, this means we
restore our lives to the Giver of Life. Realizing it is the gift of Allah the Almighty Giver. These habits will affect the heart and sincerity to flatter Essence oral Spirit. Then members of the body we will use all the gifts are for life in accordance with the will of Allah "The Giver of Life.
Ending With Gratitude Habits, does not mean kill the spirit and motivation to progress and achieve higher life achievements. But such awareness will make that we are not greedy and ignore the gift and the gift that we already have. Such awareness, make us able to enjoy every stage of the process toward the goal of life with gratitude and happiness.
Gratitude is the manifestation of the habit of speech applications "hamdallah"
as taught in our religious life. In each step movement of life, in every what we get, in each of what we have done, always end by saying, "Praise And Thanks To Allah SWT only." Because actually all belong to Allah God Almighty has and will come back to him.
Make it your habit, then feel the real success, "the ultimate meaning" or the ultimate meaning of life, that feeling of happiness in gratitude to Allah SWT.

The Power Story of Cinderella

2010-05-03T19:30:00.000-07:00

Understand in detail is important. Even spelling out the letters as letters rose is a thing that should not be underestimated.
Let us ponder misguided Cinderella story.
Because of a speller made one small mistake, Cinderella finally wearing the wrong footwear forever.
In 1697, a Frenchman named Charles Perrault Cinderella story to the copy in its own language, French. In previous Cinderella story, Cinderella shoes made from squirrel fur is white and gray. French word for fur is 'vair'. Charles one copy, that Cinderella shoes made of 'verre', which sounds the same as 'vair', but different meaning of 'glass'.
Since then the children worldwide to imagine there is a sparkling glass slipper left on the steps of the palace, and they wondered why they had never seen shoes like that in reality.
How wrong spelling, which sometimes we deem trivial, has made all the children in this world have received the wrong story.

THE STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

2010-05-03T19:26:00.000-07:00

Someone found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small hole appeared. He sat watching the butterflies when candidates struggled to force himself through the small hole. Then the butterfly stopped making progress. Seems he has tried he could and could not further. Finally someone decided to help him. He took a scissors and cut the remaining confinement of the sac.
These butterflies come out with ease. But he has a swollen body and small shriveled wings. These people continue to watch because he hoped that at some point, the wings that will bloom and widened so as to sustain his body, which may develop over time.
It all never happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of his life by crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. He never could fly.
What is not understandable from the good and the rush of people was that inhibiting the cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly through a small hole is God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that he'll be ready to fly so he gain freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes the struggle is one we need in our lives. If God let us live without the constraints of struggle, it's probably just going to paralyze us. We may not be as strong as that should you need to sustain the ideals and expectations that we ask. We may never be able to "Fly".
Surely God is All-Compassionate and Merciful.
 We begged Strength ... And God gave us the difficulties to make us stronger.
 We ask policy ... And God gave us life issues to be resolved so that we grow wise.
 We ask prosperity ... And God gave us brains and power to be used completely in achieving prosperity.
 We ask Tenacity ... And God gave disasters and hazards to overcome.
 We beg Love ... And God gave us those problems to be rescued and loved.
 We ask Generosity Kindness Heart ... And God gave us the opportunities which in turns.
That's the way God guide We ...
Would if I do not get what I want, meaning that I did not get everything I need?
Sometimes God does not give what we ask for, but with God would provide the best for us. Most of us do not understand, know, do not even want to accept God's plan, even though they were the best for us.

GRAIN OF SAND

2010-05-03T19:24:00.000-07:00

The first conqueror of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak in the Himalayas, Sir Edmund Hillary, was once asked a reporter about what is most feared in exploring nature. He then claimed not to fear the wild beasts, a steep cliff, a giant iceberg, or a vast desert and arid even once!
Then what?
"An sand tucked in between the toes," said Hillary.
Journalist surprised, but the explorers went on to say,
"An entry in the sand between your toes every so often be the beginning of a disaster. He could get into the skin or penetrate through the nail foot. After a long time toe infection, and then rot. Without realizing it, kakipun not be moved. That was a disaster for an explorer because he must ditandu. "
Tigers, crocodiles, and bears, though wild, animals instinctively are afraid of humans. Is dealing with deep ravines and desert ganasnya, an explorer already have adequate preparation. However, if facing a grain of sand that will go to the toes, an explorer could not prepare her. He tends to ignore. What Hillary stated, if we contemplate, actually the same as those who ignore the small sins. People who do minor sins, such as experimenting tasted liquor or speak ill of others, often find it is a minor sin. Therefore, many people are too far to small sins so that gradually became a habit.
When it became a habit, small sins that will turn into a big sin that is very dangerous to himself and others.
Underestimate the job - a small job will also give the same bad effect on our work performance.

There was a young girl who really loves dancing. Cleverness dancing very prominent compared with colleagues - colleagues, so he is often become champions in various competitions held. He thought, with what they have today, a moment when you grow up he wanted to be a world class dancer. He imagined himself to dance in Russia, China, America, Japan, and watched by thousands of people who give him applause.
One day, the town was visited by an expert in dance from abroad. These experts are great, and has a lot of cold hands born world-class dancers. This young girl wanted to dance and show his skill in front of these experts, even if it may get the chance to become his disciple.
Finally the opportunity came. The young girl managed to meet the experts behind the stage, after a dance performance.
The young girl asked "Sir, I really want to be a world class dancer. Do you have a moment, to rate my dancing? I want to know what you think about my dance." "Okay, dance in front of me for 10 minutes," replied the expert.
Yet another 10 minutes passed, the expert stood from his chair and leaving the young girl passed away, without saying a word. What destroyed the young girl's heart to see the attitude of the experts. The girl ran out. Come home, she immediately burst into tears. He became a hate towards itself. Apparently during this dance that he is proud-proud of nothing - my ass in front of the expert. Then she took her shoes tarinya and throw him into the barn. Since then, she vowed never to dance again.
Dozens of years passed. The young girl has now become a mother with three children .. Her husband had died. And to support his family, he worked to be the servant of a shop on the corner.
One day, there was a dance show which was held in the city. The experts appear to be among the young dancing backstage. The experts seem old, with hair that was white. The young mother with three children also came to the dance performances. After the event, the mother was carrying her three children into the back of the stage, looking for the expert, and introduced her three children to the expert. The experts still recognize this young mother, and then they talked intimately.
The mother asked, "Sir, there is one question that lump in my heart. It's about my appearance while dancing in front of you for many - years ago. So much jelekkah my appearance at the time, so you leave me to go straight away, without saying a word word? ".
"Oh yes, I remember the event. Frankly, I've never seen such a beautiful dance you do at that time. I think you will become a world class dancer. I do not understand why you came to - came to retire from the world of dance", replied the expert.
The young mother was very surprised to hear answers to the expert. "It's unfair," cried the mother. "The attitude you've stolen all my dreams. If I have a nice dance, why you left me just when I just danced a few minutes. You ought to praise me, and not just ignored me. Should I become a world class dancer. Not only clerk! ".
The expert replied quietly: "No .... No, I think I've done it right. You do not have to drink a barrel of wine to prove the wine was delicious. It also happened to me. I do not have to watch you 10 minutes to prove you dance good. That night I also really tired after the show. So I leave you for a moment, to take my card, and hope you will contact me again the next days. But you were gone when I get out. And one more thing you have to mind you, that you should focus on your dreams, not on words or my actions. Then praise? You expect praise? Ah, then you are growing. Praising it as a double-edged sword. memotivasimu sometimes, can also melemahkanmu. And I saw the fact that most of the praise given at the time a person is growing, only to make him happy and stop its growth. I actually prefer ignoring you, so that it can grow even faster melecutmu. Moreover, the praise should come from the desire of my own. You should not ask for a compliment from you others. You see, this is really just a small matter. Had you at that time not ignoring what is happening and keep dancing, maybe today you have become a world class dancer. maybe you hurt at the time, but you will quickly hurt lost your train back. but it hurt that you regret the day this will never be lost for ever ... ... .. ".
Have you ever met a thief `dream '?
Knowingly or not, today we live in a very negative environment. Once we got up early, probably faint - faint've heard grumbles next door neighbor, and went to the bus office, met with several singers who asked for money by way of force.
At work, some colleagues may complain about work very much. Then one of your other colleagues also complained about a small salary, and do not ride-up since last year.
That is the environment faced by most of us. And the `dream stealers' that lie between them. They may associate our office, our neighbors, our colleagues, or even our own spouse. The problem is, because we too often hear negative things all the time around us, the utterance of the `dream stealers' such as - if it is something that is considered true, and we are wrong.
Thieves `dream 'can not be avoided, because they are always around us. They must be faced. One way to deal with it, is to ignore anything they say about our dreams. We went forward with our strong determination.
But in certain positions, sometimes things we can not do this. For example if the `thief's dream 'is someone who rank above or parallel to us, such as parents, wife, brother, or sister. In this case, we also need not argue with them. Actually they're not like us achieve our dreams, but they can not bear to see our struggles in the process of achieving that dream. But they say this with no words, may not, does not need and so forth.
We can still achieve your dreams in another way, namely by keeping our dreams alone. No one else who needs to know our dreams. We will only inform the person - people closest to us when we are already achieving it. So we're just giving goalnya, but they do not need to know the process. This method is quite effective in keeping our dreams remain on the right track, without `interference 'from outside. But this method requires tremendous mental patience, particularly because as social beings, we always want to tell the neighborhood about ourselves, our lives and our dreams.
Try to imagine the story the girl dancers in the story above. What if he's still dancing, without ever meeting with the experts? Maybe he has been a dancer world. But an encounter with the expert, has made the girl feel that the expert is `a thief's dream '.
Now, what about you, Which means you use to maintain your dream? Whatever way you use, focus is always on goalnya, but not on the process. Use your brain when you're chasing him, and use our hearts when he reached the summit!
Success for our dreams!

HOW TO WRAP RICE

2010-05-03T19:07:00.000-07:00

There was a rich man who lived in a village. She had two twin boys, named Dodo and Didi. They are two intelligent and friendly to everyone. Once, the wealthy people are eager to share all their wealth to his sons, after that he wanted to go migrate to other places.
Long story short, Didi Dodo and the estate agreed to invest by setting up shop in their village rice. Dodo shop located in northern villages, while Didi store located in the south. Initially the two stores are pretty crowded. But in the long run only shops that remain lively Didi, while the Dodo began deserted shops. Even most of the customers of Dodo also moved into the store Didi. It lasted for months, till one day the father of the twins returned to the village. He wondered why only Didi a crowded store, while the Dodo not. Almost no difference between their stores. They are the same - the same kind, selling for the same price, and the rice was being sold have the same quality.
When observed closely, eventually the rich man saw a small difference that causes customers to move to Didi Dodo. That difference lies in the way of Dodo and Didi wrapped rice. Suppose there are buyers who purchased one kilogram of rice, the Dodo using a big scoop to take the rice, pour the rice into the plastic and put it on the scales. Because using a large bucket, then the number of the above scales are always more than 1 kg. Dodo then use a small bucket, taking advantages of rice until the number of exactly one kilogram.
Didi is another thing. He uses a small bucket to pour the rice into the wrapper, then put it on the scales. Because using a small bucket, certainly less than one kilogram. He then slowly increase the amount of rice
up to one kilogram. Then wrap it up.
If you are the buyer, what's your opinion?
Rice which would you buy?
When it is asked the rich man to customers store their children, they say that Didi's good, because it's always 'embellished' their rice. Instead they argued, the Dodo cheat, because the rice bought always `minus'. Logically, the customer understands that the amount purchased together one kilogram, but they apparently unconscious brain to distinguish between the `good 'and the` dirty'. Indeed, at first, this is also not recognized by the customer, but when they start comparing and Didi Dodo, `cheating 'it began to appear. And feel the `Dodo kecurangan'nya to losing customers.
What is the meaning of the above stories in our lives?
Occasionally, we unknowingly, we behave like the Dodo to others, so that others may also be different for us. For example, in the office, your boss is more friendly with your colleagues and be joking, but when talking with you, he will be presenting a formal manner. Unfortunately, most of us prefer to think negatively about it, blaming other people first without wanting to look at ourselves. We may always argue that our colleagues are more beautiful, because he has connections, and a thousand other reasons. But rarely do we want to see ourselves, why are we treated different way.
Why do not we try to introspection, in fact whether the small differences that make a difference from the bosses treat us and our colleagues? Maybe we're the same - the same clever, just - just like working hard and together - together have a high commitment to the job. If we want to watch, maybe we'd be surprised, because it may be true - right thing so small. Maybe we work very seriously, whereas our colleagues prefer to work with a smile. So naturally bosses prefer to talk with people who are friendly rather than a serious person. Or maybe from the way we delivered the report. We delivered the work report fully and at length, whereas you peer more concise and brief.
So ... How about the way we dress? Are we pretty neat and good looking. How does the way we greet people? Do we wait for someone to say good morning first and we respond, or do we first spoke to you?
True, it is not possible we make ourselves perfect. But that does not mean we should not fix our mistakes. And fix a small error at least will make our lives better, both for ourselves and in our relationships with others.

THE POWER OF DISABLED CHILDREN

2010-05-03T19:05:00.000-07:00

"Huuu .... uuura!" Cries of joy from a mother who receives a telegram from his son who has many - years to disappear. Moreover, he is the son of one - only. It's known these kids go to the Vietnam war were assigned to four years ago and since the last three years, his parents have never received word back from the son's only child, so that his son allegedly killed dimedan war. We can imagine how happy feelings of the mother. In the telegram stated that her son will be home tomorrow.
The next day everything has been prepared to welcome the arrival of single-favorite son, even at night there will be a special party for him, whereby all family members and associates - a business associate of her husband invited all. Bank Director's known her husband was famous throughout the capital city of the Great.
Later that day the mother received a phone call from her son who was in the airport. The child asked, "Mother may I bring my best friend?".
"Oh, of course, our homes and kamarpun big enough, take it, do not be shy - shy, take it!", Replied the mother.
"But my friend shortcoming, because the victims of war in Vietnam?".
Oooh "...... not be a problem, may I know what part of the handicapped? ", The mother's tone was slightly decreased
"He lost his right hand and both legs!".
With the tone a bit forced, because they do not want to disappoint her mother said, "If only for a few days, I think does not matter."
"There's one more thing to my mother tell me the same, my friend's face were also damaged as well as the skin, because most burned, it's known at the time he wanted to help his friend he stepped on a mine, so that's not the hands and legs are broken but the entire face and body part on fire! ".
Mother sounded disappointed and upset said "Son, next time your friend invited us home for a while just tell he was living in a hotel, if you need to let me pay for lodging costs!".
"But he is a good friend of my Mom, I do not want to separate from him!".
"Try to think about my son, your father is a prominent conglomerate, and we often had guests high-ranking officials or people - important people who visited our house, let alone later tonight we will feast tonight even be attended by a minister, what do they say when they will see a misshapen body and face damaged? How common view and how the environment can accept us later? Do not be lowering our dignity? fact do - do later could damage the image of your father's business binis. " Without any further answers the phone from her son decided and closed.
Parents are the child, as well as the guests wait until the night turns out the boy did not come home. Her mother thought her son was angry because it hurt, because her friends are not allowed to visit their home. At three in the morning, they got a call from the hospital, so that they will come there, because they have to identify the bodies of people who committed suicide. The corpse of a young ex-soldiers of Vietnam, who have lost arms and legs and wajahnyapun been damaged by fire. At first they thought that it was the body of his friend, but in fact the young man was his own son! To defend the name and status, they eventually lost son solo!
We will assess that the parents of the child is cruel and the only important names and their status alone, then what about ourselves? Do we have another of them?

"I could feel his presence, he was sleeping soundly," the mother said in between tears.
Surroundings give moral support to the couple, saying that this is God's will. When the wife make us closer to God, arrived - arrived he realized that God must have a plan behind all this. This makes them more resilient.
The couple struggled to accept this fact. They are looking for information on the Internet, go to the library, met with many doctors, to learn more about the problem of their baby. One thing they found was that they were not alone. Many other couples are also experiencing the same situation, where the babies they can not live long. They also find that some infants will be able to survive, if they are able to obtain donor organs from other babies.
A very rare opportunity. Who wants to donate organs of the baby to someone else?
Long before their baby is born, the couple named the baby, Jeffrey and Anne. They continue to prostrate to God. At first, they sought a miracle that the baby recovered. Then they knew, that they should be begging to be given strength to face whatever happens, because they believe God has a plan himself.
Miracles happen, the doctor said that she was well enough to be born, but he would not survive more than two hours. The wife then discuss with her husband, that if something bad happened to her, they'll donate his organ. There were two babies who are struggling to live and dying, who are waiting for an organ donor baby. Once again, the couple were in tears. They cry in a position as a parent, where they were not even able to save Anne. The couple were determined to bravely face the impending reality.
Birth day arrives. The wife successfully gave birth to two baby safely. In those precious moments, the husband was carrying Anne with great care - the heart, Anne looked at her father, and smiled sweetly. Anne was a cute smile will never be forgotten in his life.
There are no words - words in this world that could describe the couple's feelings at that time. They are very proud that they've done the right choice (by not abort Anne), they are very happy to see Anne, who was so tiny smile at them, but they are very sad that this happiness will end in a few hours.
Really no words - words that can represent the feelings of the couple. Perhaps only by the tears that continued to fall in flow, tears coming from their wounded souls?
Both the grandfather, grandmother, and relatives of the family has a chance to see Anne. Miracles happen again, Anne still survive after 2 hours. Provide more opportunity for families to share their happiness. But Anne was not able to survive after six hours?.
The doctors worked quickly to make organ donation procedures. After several weeks, the doctor contacted the couple that the donor is successful. Two babies were rescued from death.
The couple are now aware of the will of God. Although she only lived for six hours, but he managed to save two lives. For these couples, she is their hero, and his little Anne will live forever in their hearts?.
There are two important points which we can contemplate this story:
1. Indeed, it does not matter how long we live, one day or even
one hundred years. The right thing - really matters is what we have we
do during our lives, which is useful for others.
2. Anne's mother says "The most important thing for parents is not about how
his career in the future, in which they live, or how much
money they could generate. But the most important thing for us as parents
is to ensure that children - our children - Merger and blessed
his life, so that when death met them, they will reach heaven. "

"Mother, until when the mother will continue - constantly embarrass me? Why not mother die? ", I snapped at my mother. My mother was quiet and my eyes she looked like a chump. Because the mother was never angry or punish me, so I just snapped delicious - every day he snapped.
One night I woke up and saw the mother crying alone in the kitchen. Tears rolled from his eyes that just one but his voice was muffled, almost inaudible ... It seems he was afraid that woke me up.
Plus I hate one-eyed mom!
I want to quickly - quickly leaving rumah.Aku determined to be a successful person. Therefore, I study hard tireless. Thanks to my hard work, I could finish college, though I admit, it was also the mother of the money earned from their work shameful.
Immediately after getting a job in town, I married a beautiful woman of good heart. I left my past as well as my mother is embarrassing. I also began to forget my mother, especially because now in my house already have 2 children - my son is agile and intelligent.
I really - really happy ...
Until one day, the joy was disturbed by a knock at the door. My little girl who opened the door screamed in fear. One-eyed I saw my mother standing in the doorway.
"Hey, who are you?". I snapped pretending - pretending not to know. When my mother would explain, I just throw her, "Go away! You've made my fear! ".
With difficulty - the brick he said, "Sorry, maybe I'm wrong address."
Immediately shut the door of the house and reorganize the troubled breath.
And now, I'm lying limp once read a letter from my mother that I hate. Sentence by sentence, composed very simply, devastated me, "Son, let mom told me about something you might not want you to hear. When you were little, our calamity strikes. Accident that killed your father, it also removes one ball in your eyes. Mother does not want you to face the world with only one eye, then transplanted into the mother's eyes kurelakan your eyes. And I'm very happy, because now you can see the wide world through an eye from me. When you read this letter, I did not know was where, because our old house had been purchased people ".

"Mother, what does that mean bastard?", I asked one night, after `Isha 'in congregation with my Mother who looked tired, but his eyes still radiate shade.
Mother gasped at that time. Did not think that question would come out from between my little lips, her little girl who was only five years.
"Why honey?" Mother asked as he held me in his chest.
'People call me like that. They say, hey bastard! So ... "I replied with a very plain. Mother of the more closely hug and feel his protection.
At other times, I ask the question to her, "Mother, what do I have a father? Those people said I did not have a father," I asked.
Mother had just finished telling stories to me at that time. Mother stunned so long. "There!" Mother firmly assured.
"Where? Why can not I see him?" Mother led me out of bed berkepinding wood. Walking into the courtyard without lighting.
"You see the sky up there?" Mother asked without taking his hand.
I nodded yes.
"Is your father there?" Mother answered convincingly. I do not see anything. In addition to the black sky and a sprinkling of millions of stars. No images of human faces seen there. But I do not want to ask again. Perhaps my father was one of the flickering stars. Tomorrow if the kids were teasing me again and said I did not have a father I've got answers.
Well ... yes, since childhood I only got the Mother. Women who are poor, without property but loving. Which always provides his chest to absorb the injuries. With modest wages as clothes washers in some families, the Mother always saved. She says I have school as high as possible and so people are clever. In order not stupid and wretched as himself. Mother of all life through his own weight. Parenting that continues to grow without a companion at his side. Not easy, but I did not even see him grieve. Except once on one night I woke up and saw sniffed on a piece of mat.
Every time I ask that in Mother, it's just water matalah which later became the answer. Like reveals the wounds that never dry completely. Then I so never have the heart to force Mother to answer. Because Mother was too noble to get hurt. I do not want to disappoint my mother.
What matters is that his struggle should not be in vain. His desire to see schools as high as possible, encourage the spirits to learn diligently. I've always managed to reach the championship since sitting dibangku elementary to high school. Then later I had parted with Virgin. I received in without a test in one of the leading universities in the city. Now I have even hired one of the leading Islamic Bank recently founded. I wanted to ask her to pick up the Mother moved to this city. But Mother refused.
I thought by leaving the place of birth, I will be able to live in peace. All the childhood nightmares about my father who will not be chasing me down to this city. But no. He seemed to be a curse that followed transformed where to go.
I have an adult present. Ready to get married and have a family. Already three pious men who come to me an offer. But three times also, I was forced to reject it. I was afraid to tell my family. I can not say that I was a child a star.
"Rabbi, I just want to know who the man who became my father. That's it. What I was rebellious to the Virgin?"
"You're lucky to still have a Mother. I was raised in an orphanage, never knew who my family." Asti, one of my friends tried to comfort me. I am aware now. I was very fortunate to have a Mother. In sujudku that night I cried. Please opportunity to Allah for a happy Mother. The woman who created a thousand flowers.
One day, a visitor, one of our neighbors in the village before, had come to visit me. He preached that the Mother was ill. "Actually he was sick for a long time. But do not want the story. Mother says if your job will not be disturbed. But I think you really need to know!" I was fast - fast home and at home I see Mother lying in bed. The same bed as my childhood. Mother usual place of holding, storytelling and prayed over me before sleep.
"Why did not you tell me Mother?" I asked, after kissing his hand.
"Mother would not mind disturbed," she replied, still carve a smile on his face. But I just see it getting weaker. "Mother wanted to say something about your dad, he ...,"
"No, Mother," cut in quickly. "Do not say anything. There is nothing to the Mother explain about the past. Bunda Bunda remains. Women who are created from a thousand flowers!" I am no longer care. Mother of an ordinary human. Probably never err in his past. But for me now Mother is the greatest gift of Allah in this life.
Mother passed away two days later to Rahmatulloh. That night back I watched the sky. Such as a child when I asked where my father's mother. Mother will be pointed toward the sky. Place the dark night light decorated countless stars.
Mother is now gone. Following my father in a place that is eternal. And I know now. If a pious man came to applying for and ask about my family, I would say that I was a child star pair!

MOM, PLEASE BATHED ME

Often times people do not appreciate what he has until the end ... Rani, call it as the name implies, slumped in a deep penyesalam.
Rani is brilliant and female brains have high ideals. Since incoming campus, attitudes and self concept was clear: achieve the best, in the academic field and profession that will they do. "Why not" the best ", he said, always, to quote a former president of the United States. When the University sends students to study International Law at the Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands, Rani, including one of them. I prefer to finish medical school. Next, Rani got my level''companion''; are both outstanding, although the different professions. Alifya, the fruit of their love, born when Rani was named a diplomat, to coincide with the completion husband she took a PhD. Complete their happiness. It is said that their son's name was taken from the first letter alif hijaiyah''last''and''yes''letters, be a nice name: Alifya. My thought was, what they intend to make it as child's first and last.
When Alif, calls it his son, aged six months, Rani getting crazy busy. Bath garuda, almost every day he flew from one city to another and from one country to another. My sincere once asked,''Would not the Alif is too small to be left to live?''
Rani swiftly replied,''Oh, I already anticipate everything. Everything is OK!''Remark that he really prove. Care and attention to their children, are handled professionally by a baby sitter expensive. Rani lives Alif control schedule by phone. Alif grow into a child who looks lively, smart and easy to understand. Grandparents to grandchildren always infuse pride mere puppets, about the greatness of their parents. About the title and big names, about flying, and a lot of money. Father-mother''Contohlah Alif Alif when you grow up.''As always Alif grandmother, his mother Rani, gave orders at the end of the tale before sleep.
When 3-year-old Alif, Rani's brother told me if he asks. Surprised by the unexpected demand, Rani and her husband returned to claim her child understanding. Their activities has not been possible to bring a sister for Alif. Again, this little boy his parents''understand''. The proof, Rani said, she did not whine ask brother. Alif, apparently inherited her mother's character is not a whiner. Though her parents often come home late, he rarely sulk. In fact, Rani said, Alif is always full of cheerful welcome. So, my little angel Rani''hello''.
It was a happy family, I thought. Although his parents super busy, full of love Alif keeps growing. Secretly, I envied this family. One day, towards the Rani went to the office, somehow refused to bathe the baby sitter Alif. Mother bathed Alif''wants,''he said hopefully. Rani erratic course, the second to the second timing is calculated, rage. He dismissed the demand while remaining nimble Alif dress up and prepare for office purposes. Alif also helped persuade her husband to take a bath with Tante Mien, his baby sitter. Again, with the understanding according to Alif, although his face sullen. This event was repeated until nearly a week. ''Mother, bathed me!''Alif sound more and stressful. Toh, Rani and her husband thought, maybe it's because Alif is in the pre-school, become a bit more for attention. Once persuaded, cajoled, finally Alif could be left behind as well.
Until one afternoon, I was startled closer Mien, the baby sitter. ''Bu doctors, Alif fever and seizures. Now in Emergency.''Half a fly, I sped to the ER. But it was too late. God Almighty had other plans. Alif, the little angel, trigger was called back by him. Rani, when told about Alif, was inaugurated the new office. He was shocked. Arriving home, the only thing he wants is to bathe her son. After last week began demanding Alif, Rani's commitment to a store when bathing her own. And that afternoon, Rani promise materialized, even after; little body lay still. ''This is the Mother of LIF, Mother bathed Alif,''she said softly, the quiet amid pilgrims. One by one colleague to get away from Rani's side, trying to hide the tears.
When the red soil had buried the body of the child, we still stood motionless on the side of the tomb. Many times Rani, a strong friend, said,''It's a given, right. Same thing, I was next to or across the ocean, when it's time, yes he's gone too right?''I said nothing. Rani did not have to taste the entertainment of others. Her husband still like lifeless. His face was pale, his eyes vacant. ''This is a consequence of a choice,''Rani continued, still trying to tough and strong. There was a pause.
Twilight wind blew the smell of frangipani flowers. Rani suddenly knelt down. ''I ibunyaaa!''She cried hysterically, then tergugu great. It only seems this time I watched Rani cried, all the more a cry that burst. LIF''Arise, Mother would bathe the Alif. Give it a chance once the Mother of LIF. Just once,''Rani .. Aliiif pleading whimper. Seconds later, he bumped into the grave and lying facedown on top. The tears were flooding the body shade of red dirt Alif. Dusk was getting old. Rice has become porridge, regretfully no longer helpful. Seemingly trivial things often lead to regret and profound loss. Many times busy people 'in the outcome', cool with his world and his own ambition is not to ignore people - people who cared for nearby. Will still have time 'later' for them so just ignore them first. Often times people arrogant and feel confident that the understanding and affection they receive will not be lost. Feel they will understand because they love him and will always be there.
