What to be grateful

(End of 2010, repost from my old blog)

End of 2010

                It’s been attained third year for me and my best friend Dewi for doing this kinda annual silly way. We firstly did it in the last year of jhs, and it eventually made each year we grow up means each year we’re gonna treat each other.

               Dewi, had been accustomed to my habit of being late. This habit is growing far more bigger as I entered shs errr! But today, this Saturday under the very glowing sun, she made it reversely. Kinda revenge? Nope, as she told me that she was being very busy searching for her mobile phone.

Bogor was a little town I live in throughout life. We only own two big malls here, Ekalokasari and Botani Square. The last one is very well known to foreigner for its location beside exit way from Tol Jagorawi. And today, it was the place I made a meeting with Dewi.

              I looked at my watch, it told me she spent more than half hour for me just sitting in front of mall. I stared around but nothing I found. Unless, a pretty skirt-ed girl in front of me. She suddenly caught my attention for her fashion style and I really wanted her skirt lol . I still waited for Dewi and keep regarded her until she coincidentally sat beside me! Gosh, she didn’t know how she already interrupted my mind. Later, she asked me something that I couldn’t even know for the first time. I might have no idea.. she was deaf. I switched my position, I listened to her carefully. After saying “pardon”, we made a little dialogue. She asked me whether I already found person like her; where I found them; was there any dissability school for deaf (SLB B) around here.

             Time said it’s been one hour for me sitting, waiting for Dewi to come. I’ve been mad inside. But, who knows, after a long time, I didn’t just sitting for nothing. God gimme an angel, for telling me how to be grateful for what I’m now.

              I was often been annoyed by chic-pretty-beautiful girls I thought having anything they want, having any-girl-want-needs perfectly. I was easily getting angry if some girls took the boy I liked just because they got a beatiful up-to-toe. Yet that girl woke me up, that everybody has their own flaws.

I didn’t get what she really wanted to know, but I guessed: she needed friends. That shocked me inside. Get real, this world hasn’t never been easy for them, even for just having friends. People saw they appearance. People judged them. People had problems with them. People went mad. I was just.. God’s tiny creature who never been thankful.

Thanks God, for making that sitting moment worth it, for making me learn again.
