Video call pagi tadi sama mertua, beliau kembali nanya, “Kenapa Nina ngga menikah?” Saya bingung njawabnya. 😅 Kalau pun saya jawab, besok pasti beliau akan bertanya lagi hal yang sama.. 😁 Anyway, hari ini ekspresi wajah beliau lebih serius, bahkan terlihat sedih. Lalu beliau bilang, “Nin, mamah berpesan nih ya, kita sebagai perempuan harus menikah,…

Sometimes my heart needs to be listened.
my mother-in-law is my mother for life
❤️ My mother-in-law (woman with glasses sitting next to me) survived Covid. The virus cost her 3 weeks being hospitalized, and also claimed the life of 1 of his 4 sons. The burden so great, even I can’t bear to fit my feet in her shoes. Her husband passed away 2 years ago, so she’s…

When Allah Speaks
❤️ Lately Allah often speaks to me when I am in my most vulnerable moment. I just lost someone very important for me. No, not lost to the hands of death, but rather to the hands of ego—which is worse, tbh. And yesterday was our last conversation, by text. It went good and I’m glad…
When my Rabb said: Sabr
My cat, Pippi, she’s impatient sometimes. Every 5 hours she will meow, asking for food. When I opened up the fridge, she started to get noisier, impatient. I took a spoonful of canned fish onto her feeding bowl, she immediately munch herself in. Eh? I was about to give her two spoons, but well, I…
Kala Rabb-ku berkata: Sabar
Kucing saya, Pippi, kadang ngga sabaran. Setiap 5 jam dia mengeong minta makan. Saya buka kulkas, dia ribut, ngga sabar. Saya kasih ikan kalengan sesendok, dia buru-buru melahap piring makannya. Padahal tadinya mau saya kasih dua sendok ke piring makannya, ngga jadi karena terhalang kepalanya. Nanti deh nunggu kepala dia menyingkir dari piring makannya. Di…
It’s okay to move on
Life taught me, it’s easier to forgive others than forgiving yourself. 💐 But you have to. So that, you can move on. You see, it’s alright to move on and leave everything behind. Really, it’s alright.. 🤗 I know it’s very difficult to forgive someone you loved who had let you down, failed you, hurt…
the right choice vs the easy choice
I’ve heard this line, a lot. Especially from books and movies—The Core, Harry Potter (and The Goblet of Fire), are two of the movies. The first time I heard of the line was in 2004, or so, and think about it a lot ever since. I think hard and slow. My entire life—before stumbled onto…
if only you knew
If only you knew, how much Allah loves you,through me. Even though I am loving you one-sidedly,Even though every day I try my best to ignore this feeling,Even though every night I determined to make more space between you and I, As if our physical distance of two continents apart is not enough. I let…
the questions of loneliness
Is there love for me, God? Will I finally be happy, like everyone else who have found their better half? Why can’t I escape this hollow feeling, while I already have so many other things fulfilling me and be grateful for? Wise people always say, everything has its own time; things that are written for…
orang baik sering disia-siakan?
Orang baik lebih sering disia-siakan oleh pasangannya, kenapa? Hmmm.. Kenapa ya? Saya kok ya sering banget menemukan pertanyaan seperti ini. Mulai dari orang curhat, sampai baca komik atau artikel, rerata tercetus kalimat begitu, “Orang baik, kok disia-siakan? Apakah yang bersangkutan kurang baik?” KawaNina, saya sendiri nggak bisa menjawabnya. Apalagi karena saya juga termasuk orang yang…
