Kapan hari sepulang sekolah, Malik, 8 tahun, tiba-tiba nggremeng sendiri sambil nyanyi-nyanyi, ngomong gini,”Ik heb seks met Liane, Ik heb seks met Liane.” What?! Langsung dong telinga ku berdiri dengernya. Waduh, anak gw mulai ngomong-ngomong soal ginian, pasti dari temen-temennya nih, mulai panik dong diriku, kuatir temen-temennya udah meracuni dia yang enggak-enggak. Aku yang ada di lantai dua sampe turun tangga dan mencoba mendengarkan lagi baik-baik takut aku salah denger. Tapi enggak tuh, Malik bener-bener ngomong gitu, dan aku tahu banget, Liane itu satu-satunya temen perempuan sekelas Aik yang dianggap temen sama Aik. Temen perempuan lainnya kata Aik bukan temen, bener-bener cuma Liane seorang. Jadi menurut Aik, temen Aik itu adalah temen laki-laki yang deket sama Aik (ada 10 orang) plus Liane, padahal ada 30 orang anak di kelas Aik.
Miss You So

I woke up
You were not there
Didn’t know why
There was a pang
There was a frightening
There was a longing
In my heart
Couldn’t imagine
If you and me
have to be apart
I will miss you
I even miss you so
Now.

When my beloved one, goes for a while.
“When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they’re full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don’t consider the past. And they don’t worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.” ( Bodhidharma quotes)
Yesterday, I had a Grey day. Then, my husband sent me this quote and I was touched. It reminded me not to worry about the future and to enjoy the present time, moment to moment. I’m learning to live in the present time, moment to moment, but I never know that in fact it is just easy to say, very hard to do. My thoughts, my monkey minds, always grips me, like a tiger grasps its prey.
Pulang sekolah Malik ke dokter gigi. Aik udah bete di sekolah, bunda dateng pertanyaannya langsung gini,”Aik ga mau dicabut gigi!” katanya sambil merengut. “Ga dicabut koq Ik, kan kata dokternya cuma ditambal.”
Sepanjang jalan Aik bete, pas nunggu di ruang tunggu juga masih bete dan ketakutan kalo dicabut. Pas giliran masuk, Aik nangis. Dokternya langsung bilang,”Kenapa kamu nangis?”
