I'M IN LOVE WITH MY DAD

This time, I would like to declare I AM DAD'S #1 FAN!

Pernah gak sih, lo get so excited dengerin cerita bokap lo tentang kerjaan2nya (yang bidang pekerjaannya sendiri bukan hal yang menarik buat lo), listening to every word he says and keep those words in your mind (when everybody knows that you are not a good listener), you don't even realize that your eyes are glued on him - you don't see anyone else, and having this words on your mind 'Oh God, you must be in the perfect mood when you made this amazing creature!'

He told me much about his job and what he does at work. Amazing stories came out from that mouth. About his partners, his co-workers, how he chose this job, how he decided to quit his last job when he got offered as a president director, take risks by making his own business, having no money and being underestimated by others. Gimana dia nolak tawaran2 kerja jd 'orang besar' dgn jaminan wealth and money di bbrp perusahaan bagus dan bilang
"Saya nggak berniat jadi 'orang terhebat' di perusahaan anda. Saya berniat jadi orang hebat di dunia."
Wow.
That includes "Even if I have to suffer di tahun2 pertama ini and have no money at all. I'll fight for my dream."

Dia jg cerita banyaak banget ttg kerjaannya skrg dan tawaran2 kerjasama yang rada 'melenceng' dengan kerja cm bbrp hari dan uang yang wow, yang sebenernya sah2 aja kl dia ambil, but my dad's just not the other man yang tergiur sama hal begitu. Itu bikin gw mikir banyak dan gw bener2 tercengang. Sampe akhirnya perusahaannya udh kyk sekarang, dia cerita banyak banget hal yang nawarin kesenengan dunia. You can take it and blinded by it, IF you're searching for your world's happiness. Or you can also ignore it and back on chasing your dreams even if you have to let go some 'good' chances. Dan itu terbukti, salah satunya dari org2 yang sempet underestimate perusahaan bkp gw pas br awal berdiri, sekarang mereka angkat topi. "Yang namanya idup itu yang penting integritas diri" kata bokap.


Bokap gw itu, satu2nya orang yang bisa bikin gw cinta sama agama gw; Islam. Dia bukan orang islam neko2 yang "Kamu pokoknya harus solat 5waktu!", "Kamu pokoknya harus pake kerudung!", "Gak boleh minum bir!", "Gak boleh begini-begitu!"
He even said "IF you don't feel comfortable with this religion, DON'T EVER say Syahadat"

Pernah suatu saat gw kesel bgt sama SD gw yg islam banget, cuma bisa kasih peraturan, dan nge judge orang lain, tanpa nunjukin apa sih yang bikin gw suka sama agama ini, kenapa gw hrs diatur2 mulu? But hey somehow this man showed me how beautiful this religion is. Sampe ada orang bule dateng ke bokap gw dg sombong nanya2 ke bokap gw ttg Islam. Dia udh nyiapin sejibun pertanyaan buat bokap gw yang kira2 gak bisa dijawab lah. Tp pertemuan ini berakhir dg si Bule nangis ke bokap gw dan told my dad how he interested on this. "You are the only person who can make me interested in this religion."


Pada saat itu gw nggak peduli bahwa bokap gw nggak bisa beliin gw Lamborghini atau rumah super keren. Dan gw nggak peduli sama bokap2 orang lain yang bisa beliin apa pun buat anaknya. "Kita idup bukan ngejer uang Mut. There is something more important than anything in the world ; your dream. Chase it, with integrity and faith."
Gw gak bisa ngomong apa2, dalem hati gw bilang "Ya Allah, how thankful I am to be chosen as this man's daughter. Thank you, God"

I love you, Dad.
Ps. I've never been this serious in my whole life saying those 3 words
