He is more.

My Childhood friend is really strong.

“The things I regret this day is I never realize how he lives every day with that conditions, losing a savior when he was just a child, he is my strong friend at elementary school, you are strong as rock”

I never and never can imagine living without my family, a mother and a father, who play a big role in our life. Mom teach you how to be a good girl and a good boy, she teaches you about anything that basically you need to know, she whisper every good words as a pray every second she could remember in every day. She teaches a daughter to be beautiful inside and outside, and also teaches a son to be handsome inside and outside.

And a father teach you to be a strong human that also teach you to have a behavior like a diamond. A father is the savior of our family, the one who builds a strong wall to save us from dangers, and the one who will stand in the very front when we get down, and the one who will sleep late after all of the family member slept. A savior.

Mom and dad are our very first role models in our life.

Remembering about a friend on my elementary school in a small village named Desa Danger Utara. As I remember when were a children, he was funny and also happy, I personally never saw him cry or sad. But, nowadays I try to imagine how his feeling live every day without a father is, lose one of his role models since he was just a child. His father was sick, kind of a psychological disturbance (my friends say and the people say that his father is going insane).

The things I still remember is :

“Ketika anak-anak berlarian di jalanan dan mencoba bersembunyi dimanapun mereka bisa dan meneriakkan nama ayah dari temanku itu. Bisa dibayangkan betapa kecewa dan sedihnya  teman kecilku ini ketika orang-orang di desanya sendiri berlari berteriak ketakutan akan kehadiran ayahnya, bahkan ada yang sampai melempari dan mengejek ayahnya. Sementara si ayah hanya berjalan tersenyum sendiri dan terus berjalan.”

It must be really hard for him living like that every day, having a father but his father is not his father, just a man who live as a “father of him” but he losing the figure of his father. A father who should be the first role models in his life is lost into a stranger, a person that never knows his face, a person that never calls him “my son”. And I am not sure that he ever call his father, on a very young age, he must accept (or maybe push to accept) the conditions of his father with a psychological disturbance, and he tried to adaptation with that.

“Ketika aku berlari pulang dari sekolah dan menjulurkan kedua tanganku ke ayah, dan lantas digendong dengan hangat, maka apa yang dia lakukan ketika pulang sekolah?”

Fortunately, he lives with a really great and a strong women as a person that he call as a Mother. I don’t even know how his mother keeps up his spirit every day so they can live to be strong and stronger. A mother who also being a Father for her children at once. Happy to see your mom is always there beside you all the time and the conditions.

Dear my strong friend, I am really sorry if that time I was also doing a bad thing to you. From now on, always pray for you, I wish you will be a great man and be useful for the others. And I wish that things will always get better and better. aamiin.:)

Miss you old friend,,,miss you Danger Village, Miss you Dad :)
