I rejected aggrieved,
because I thought I deserve happiness
I refused wounded,
because I thought I deserve healed
I have counted all the bad things and forgot almost all the good things
easily.....
I found Her, sit on the corner of this gaudy cafe, fancy clothes, expensive bag, elegant shoes, luxury perfume, hmmm She wore almost two months of my salary for this presence....
She was smiling, looked bitter on her sophisticated face, waved her hands like a master order their minion to come. I just smiled at her and realized she never changed.
I was gazing at her eyes and found a deep sorrow, I knew she asked me to come for this reason.
Let me tell you who are these awesome women who sat in front of me......
She was a queen of my heart, my a half-life, the one whom I shared my joy, my jubilance. till she decided to choose luxury than love.
She threw me into the deepest mourning, and I have woken up from that after years.
" money can not buy a happiness....." She said.
I heard her deep breath, her eyes were looking somewhere....empty.....
I was silent, even in my mind I wanted to say something rude to make her realized that She said no happiness without money a few years back.
revenge is always as sweet as sugar.....but I did not want to do it, because sugar causes diabetic, and I don't want to get that LOL....
" At least you can buy a food with that" I tried to break the ice.
" yeah, but no food for your soul" her voice sounds weak.
And then the stories flowing smoothly as river water from upstream to downstream.
The story about anxiety,insecurity,faithless,painfulness,unlucky feelings,these causes ungratefully.
I rejected difficulties because
I thought I deserve ease
I refused hardship because
I thought I deserve favor
I have counted all the misfortune and forgot almost all the satisfaction easily.....
I saw tears on her eyes, but I couldnt replace with smile,because life is
only about choises and she took hers already.
Happiness is simply, but she chooses not to see.
Trampled away from the gaudy cafe, she tried to smile but failed, I let her away while continuing to pray for the best.
I rejected loss because
I thought I deserve benefit
I treated God as a business partner
once I invested my kindness
I thought I deserve profit
I have counted all the torrent and forgot almost all the triumphs easily.....
I walked away, tried to calm down....
I saw myself while seeing her. she looked like my reflection...how fragile we are as a human being, how susceptible we are while accept suffering...
How forgetful we are while receiving all the good things in life...
Tears flowing,I realized how often I forget to be grateful for all I gained. Keep chasing something bigger , a lot more and I slipped off all I held .

Dear Poinjan,
Language is so poor, sometimes word can't express our feeling completely, we must find the closest one.
And that's why I like to write, to fulfill the challenge to find the closest word to express my feeling and delivered the feeling to the readers.
thanks a bunch Poinjan
Dear Ratu,
Your blog was amazing. Words were chosen as if they are fixed ingredients of your magical potion that could be replaced with nothing else...
Cheers
Dear Eva
Sad but it's true, become melancholic is not only dominated by poor people, the wealthy, the rich can be live in melancholic situation.
dunno why cuz I've never been there...heheheh
thanks for reading dear.
Thank you, Mr. Dara Gino
I do agree with you, money can not buy happiness. but money can be a good tool to bring a happiness to people if we use it wisely
give us opportunities to do more, to help more, and to become useful to others.
its sounds cliche, but in our real life, many people with no money live in sorrow. because they can not do anything to bring the happiness for themselves and for the people whom they love.
Sangat bagus Ratu. One thing is certain that money cannot buy happiness. Thanks for sharing.
