Tuhan Ada di Mana?

Dear Ara...
Siang tadi kamu sangat ingin keluar rumah. Namun, saya melarangmu. Di luar begitu panas. Listrik mati. Dan teman-temanmu masih istirahat di rumahnya masing-masing. 

Kemudian, hujan turun. "Ara berdoa sama Tuhan. Biar hujannya reda pas sore nanti", kataku. 
"Tuhan, hujannya berhenti ya kalo Ara mau main. Aamiiinn", doamu. 
Kemudian tiba-tiba kamu bertanya, "Tuhan ada dimana?"
"Dimana coba?", tanyaku balik. 
"Tuhan ada di angkasa. Di langit. Di awan-awan", jawabmu.
"Jadi kalo naik pesawat liat awan, bisa liat Tuhan dong", kataku lagi.
Kamu cekikikan. "Tuhan ada di planet", jawabmu lagi. 
"Tuhan alien dong", kataku lagi. 
Kamu tidak bisa menahan tawa. Sepertinya konsep itu cukup kamu mengerti mengingat planet-planet adalah rumah para alien. 

Kamu lantas terdiam. Berpikir. "Jadi Tuhan di mana". 
"Tuhan ada di hatinya, Ara. Kalo Ara baik, berbahagia, tidak sedih dan marah-marah artinya Tuhan ada di dekat Ara. Kalo suka menangis, marah-marah artinya yang ada di hatinya Ara adalah setan". 

Air muka berubah ketika mendengar kata setan. "Karenanya harus jadi anak yang baik. Yang patuh. Biar Tuhan selalu dekat", kataku. 

Demikianlah diskusi ketuhanan kita siang itu. Dan Tuhan mengabulkan doamu, hujan reda saat sore dan kamu pergi bermain mamah-mamahan.

Di Braga Saya Jatuh Cinta Pada Bandung

Hampir 10 tahun tinggal di Bogor, sepertinya hanya tiga kali saya ke Bandung. Di tiap kedatangan itu Bandung selalu memberikan kesan tersendiri buat saya. Kali pertama ke Bandung, tahun 2013. Kala itu belum pindah ke Bogor. Saya, suami, dan Ara yang masih berusia 3 tahun menghadiri acara nikahan teman di Jogjakarta. Ala backpacker kami lanjut naik kereta ke Bandung. Perjalanan yang memakan waktu cukup lama yang bikin pantat tepos. Belum lagi sambil momong anak yang pastinya ga begitu nyaman duduk di kereta. Dalam kelelahan kami menjelajah Bandung. Belum ada gocar atau grabcar kala itu. Seingatku kami hanya ke gedung sate. Itu pun sambil jalan kaki. Bandung ini first impression tidak berhasil membuat saya kagum. Kami ke Cihampelas Walk. Selain malnya yang berkonsep eco friendly, tidak ada yang istimewa. Bandung failed to make me wowing.  Perjalanan kedua kala Anna hampir dua tahun. Pakai mobil via Cianjur. Berangkat jam 5 pagi. Ketemu macet di Cianjur. Jam masuk kerja para peg...

I got homework from my mentor in Briton “if you can choose your couple, what things considering to fulfill it? I don’t know, but I really like this homework. It’s different from many kinds of homework some days ago. What things considering?mmmmm……it’s hard. But actually isn’t hard. I always discuss about this with Mr. Yusran Darmawan. I always ask him what the criterias of the girl that looking for. And he also ask me with the same question. And if he ask me, I always answer it with this “first, I want someone who have a high Quality IQ. I wanna that men become my partner of my discuss. I like asking about everything, so I must find someone who can answer all my questions. spesific for my knowledge focus. Second, I want some who can also make me laugh when I’m sad. Someone who always give support when I’m give up. Someone who can be so adult when I become childist. Three, I want someone who more adult than me. Maybe more 2 years older than me. Because I always think that I...

We Spent Time Together

For many days, I never hanging out with my daughter Ara, never walking around Court Street and doing sight seen. Winter season was very cold. I couldn't stand outside without wearing winter coat and feeling frozen. It was also hard for Ara to go outside when she felt uncomfortable with her big winter coat. That’s why I stayed at home and played with her in my comfy apartment to watch snowflake fallen from the sky. We felt warm. Flour power cupcakes Yesterday was a breezy sunny day. The wind was cold, but the sunlight kept me feel warm. I went to OU-mini farmer's market in OU Howard Park, near the green statue. There were a lot of local vendors. They sold many things such as bakery, cake, pretzel, jellies, and many more. At the first time I just planned to sight seen, until I met the lady who sold flour power cupcakes.  I bought her brownies. When I saw cupcake, I suddenly remembered that I ever read information about these cupcakes in B Magazine. ...
