what my mom said

this morning I phoned my mom and shared things happened recently.
when i told her, we were breakup, she was quite shock, "don't be silly, he has been with you for years, he's such a very good boy indeed"
then i explained to her all about these things. maybe i took 30 minutes until she said 'oh, so it's kinda a process? a phase? okay, I know, it's all up to you. but don't let this thing disturb both of you. you know yourself best. i know you've grown up now. take your time'.

yea, my mom likes him so much, so do all member of my family. but mom who likes best. everytime he would come to my home, mom always asks 'what is his favourite food?' or just 'let me see the refridge, what fruit we have, does he like apple?', and all kind of that.

my dad is not as agressive as my mom, but when boby was about to go home, he always accompanies him to the yard, says something like 'be carefull' and 'see you'.

hmmh, guys, it's difficult. but you know, i have to do this. we have to.

let me tell a story to you but maybe in Indonesian.

pisang goreng vs lapis legit. pisang goreng, bikinnya gampang, celup tepung,terus goreng. mudah ditemui, bisa dibeli di mana2, di pinggir jalan banyak. harganya paling mahal 2rb sebiji. what about lapis legit? bikinnya susah, komposisi bahan2 yang tepat, bikinnya selapis demi selapis. kalau gagal di satu tahap lapisan ga bisa dijual. but let's see. . . dia ga dijual di sembarang tempat. harganya ratusan ribu. padahal bahan2 awalnya cuma biasa, telur terigu gula. tp kenapa bisa mahal? karena proses. proses itu juga yang membuat bahan2 dasar tadi rasanya jadi berbeda.

contoh lain
kerang rebus vs kerang mutiara.
kerang rebus mudah diambil, waktu dilempar ke pasaran harganya ga mahal. gimana dengan kerang mutiara? kerang mutiara itu jenis kerang yang terpendam sedemikian rupa di dasar laut. kerang itu ngerasain sakit tiap ada mineral laut yg masuk ke dalam cangkangnya. dan prosesnya cukup lama hingga akhirnya dia bisa menghasilkan mutiara. cuma penyelam2 yg berani aja yg bisa ambil kerang mutiara. ketika udah ditaro di etalase, ga semua tangan bisa nyentuh dia.

jadi sesuatu yang istimewa itu emang susah. tp bagaimana pun hidup itu pilihan, mau jadi yg biasa2 aja, atau yg istimewa. semua terserah kita :)
