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,…

Mimpi tentang 3 Lelaki
Tadi subuh saya tertidur dan mimpi tentang 3 cowok. Yang satu cowok superkreatif (jago lukis digital) berusia belasan, baru lulus SMA dan lagi “ditembak” cewek (tapi cowok itu ngga ngeh segitu saya udah nyemangati dia untuk nerima cewek manis yang menembaknya). Satu lagi, usia 25an hobi memodif motornya. Bodi gempal rambut ikal dan putih kulitnya….
I miss you, mommy
To be perfectly honest, I envy people who are able to take their aged moms for a walk. I, we, never had such privilege. But then again, my mom always says, she doesn’t want to age and be a nuisance for her children and grand children. Surely, Allah granted her wish, even if it costs…

Last night, my son was about to leave the house when he heard a kitten’s cry on our terrace. He snapped a pic of the kitten, asked me what to do. At one glance I replied, take it inside, then my son left the house to pick me up from the office. When we’re back…
HBD, my littil bunny

A note for my daddy
Hey, Dad. My bus just went through The HI circle in central Jakarta. Seeing the row of vegetations somehow remind me something. I remember walking down that street, maybe 33-34 years ago, with Mom. I was obviously still a little kid back then, holding on Mom’s hand. We were swimming in the Pool of Hotel…
the truth about death
It’s true that death doesn’t come by age. First, my mom. She was 58. A year later, my grandma. She was 77. And last night, my cousin. He was 4. My mom, Ida Husein died of a heart attack. She died merely an hour after feeling a massive chest pain. Finally a stroke hit her,…
