Kita di mata orang tua tidak akan pernah cukup dipandang. Dan itu tidak pernah bisa disampaikan pada orang lain. Anak akan menelannya dan mencari jalan untuk mengatasinya sendiri.
Aku sampai sekarang sendiri. Tinggal bersama ibu yang dominan dan selalu berusaha mengaturku membuatku berpikir panjang untuk menikah. Buat apa? Untuk diatur ibuk bagaimana hidup dengan suamiku? No way. Aku saja tidak pernah dianggap cukup baik oleh dia, selalu ada kurang di matanya. Pasti dia akan mendikte dari A sampai Z rumah tanggaku. Tidak mau.

Menarik direnungi bahwa keadaan 'hidup' sama dengan belum pantas mati. Menjadikan mati sebagai tujuan hidup, (ultimate) purpose of life.

My mother spent more time with my father than hers with other members in her family. Her father passed away when she was 9 years old. Then my grandma got remarried and my mom and her three brothers and sisters lived with their aunt, my grandma's older sister, who has already 4 children of her own. My grandma moved to live with her new husband, they didn't conceive any child. I would say, my mom has literally lost her parents since then. In her 19th years of living, my mom married my father. They are together until my father died a month ago.
Sometimes I heard my mother's crying. And it teared my heart very deep. I can feel her loss. She is sad and lonely. She lives for my father. She served him. Now that he's gone, she really has noone to go😭😭😭.
Life may be cruel if you want to see it that way. But life has so much to offer too. Again, if you're willing to see it that way. The question now is, would you or would you not see it? Griefing has no expire date. One may be living in grief for the rest of the life yet continue living its life as well.

This November, rain come and go. Do you know that when in rain, we can uninteruptly cry? As raindrop meet the tears. They will merge. Together they build creek that runs through our cheek. Noone notice your crying. It is a perfect moment because you don't want anyone to notice it.

I miss him. This hollow feeling, an empty place somewhere in my heart is aching. I am in pain. I miss him so much that it hurts me. There's a place that noone can't ever replace. There is a love that I would always crave for. Those thinking eyes, reflecting how smart and kind he is. Funny man, wise man. How are you there ? I miss you. I want to hear your voice, your laughing, and your asking: "kenapa? Kangen?"

I try to cheer my self. And I knew I definitely can. There I smile. I made jokes. I laughed at jokes. I am happy. Putting some foggy and shimmering curtain around the feeling, giving a slice of thinking it too shall pass.  Alfatihah for my dad. You are my teacher, my clown, my hero, my mentor, my role model. I miss you so much. Thank you for raising me as your daughter. May you rest in peace. I love you🌹

Sad but true. Terkadang memang benar seperti itu. Ada beberapa konstruksi kalimat bahasa Jerman yang "mengisyaratkan" keberadaan kata kerja/verba di akhir kalimat alias sebelum titik. Tapi ada juga yang tidak seperti itu jadi jangan khawatir lalu mundur dari belajar bahasa Jerman ya. Perlahan kita akan mengenali pola-polanya dan tanpa disadari akan terbiasa dan menikmatinya.

Secara garis besar, letak kata kerja dalam susunan kalimat bahasa Jerman selalu di posisi kedua. Contoh:

I do my homework today in cafe.

1. Ich mache die Hausaufgabe heute im Cafe.

2. Die Hausaufgabe mache ich heute im Cafe

3. Im Cafe mache ich die Hausaufgabe heute.

4. Heute mache ich im Cafe die Hausaufgabe.

Semua kalimat di atas adalah benar. Mereka ditulis dalam bentuk waktu sekarang atau disebut Präsens/Gegenwart.

Kapan kata kerja TIDAK berada di posisi kedua?
1. Jika kita memakai kata kerja modal.

Ich mache heute die Hausaufgabe.
Ich will heute di Hausaufgabe machen.

Kata "will" di sini adalah kata kerja modal yang berarti mau/akan. Pada konstruksi kalimat tunggal dengan modal verb kata kerja yang bukan modal verben akan ditulis di akhir kalimat dalam bentuk infinitif.

2. Jika kita sedang menggunakan pola kalimat lampau partizip perfekt. Contoh:
I have done my homework.
Ich habe meine Hausaufgabe gemacht.

Sama-sama menggunakan kata kerja bantu, bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Jerman membedakan diri dengan letak kata kerja bentuk perfekt-nya. Lihat pada contoh di atas.

3. Saat kita membuat kalimat majemuk dengan menggunakan kata penghubung tertentu, maka kata kerja yang "normalnya" di posisi 2, akan berubah posisi menjadi berada di akhir kalimat.

(a) Ich mache die Hausaufgabe im Cafe.
(b) Es ist laut zu Hause. (It's loud at home)
Kedua kalimat tunggal di atas akan diubah menjadi konstruksi kalimat majemuk dengan kata penghubung "weil/karena" menjadi:

Ich mache die Hausaufgabe im Cafe, weil es laut zu Hause ist. ----> kalimat (b) menjadi anak kalimat dengan kata kerja dipindah ke akhir kalimat.

Contoh lain:
(a) Ich bin im Cafe.
(b)Ich will die Hausaufgabe im cafe machen.
Menjadi:
Ich bin im Cafe, weil ich die Hausaufgabe machen will.

#prinsip mudahnya: kata kerja yang diposisikan paling belakang dalam anak kalimat adalah kata kerja yang berada pada posisi ke-2 dalam kalimat normal👍

Tidak semua pola kalimat majemuk memiliki susunan seperti itu, tergantung kata penghubung yang kita gunakan, misalnya: weil/karena; dass/bahwa, wenn/kalau, wenn/ketika, obwohl/meskipun dll (tinggal lihat daftar kata😁)

Kembali pada pembahasan postingan IG di awal tadi, maka wajar jika ketika kita menghadapi produksi bahasa Jerman, entah itu berupa wicara maupun tulisan, kita sering harus SABAR/TEKUN/TELITI menunggu selesai satu kalimat karena kata kerja, yang merupakan inti maksud pembicara/penulis berada di akhir kalimat. Ya anggap sebagai latihan kesabaran. Belajar bahasa saja sabar, apalagi mengarungi hidup bersama🤭.

Can you feel it? Rain came near. Finally. Though he stayed not for long. The traces it left, were real. Leaves looked so fresh, so green, so young. As if they said, rain was just here. The chirping birds, singing frogs (they are unbelievable😅) dancing trees, swimming Fish they too were head over heel from joy.

Rain was sitting here next to me. He was happy. I can see. He has given it all, you know: prosperity, fertility, smiles, laughs, abundance, everything. See there, overthere? That cheeky little smile on those children's face?  It was too due to his effort, pouring water for them to be able to play in.

I was talking to the rain and it was endless. He wanna make sure that he was hoped. That everybody wished him to come.

"Did you? You did wish me to be here on earth, right?"

He keeps asking the same question again and again. It's pretty hard to convince him. I never thought that rain could be this insecure. By all means, he is the mighty rain. He turned mountain to valley. He swept forest and pain as well. I mean, c'mon! Think about it. Has he not ever come, what could human do? We are all depending on him as on the sun, the air, every single anorganic thing on earth. I think rain should view himself better than this. I observed him from the corner of my eyes. Now since I catch a glimse of smile on his face, I think he get the message clear.

"What makes you think that we don't want you? "

My asking after a while of silence. I kind of get annoyed by the singing frogs from the ponds. Do they ever stop, I wonder.

"I see some mourning. Saddening eyes. I see them start watering as soon as I came. I don't want people to be sad. I want to see them happpy. I feel like..."

He doesn't finish his line. I know. He feels like he is unwanted. Poor rain. We, human will always be like this all the time no matter what or who comes, wether it's in rain or in the middle of heatening sun. Sadness and happiness come hand in hand. One moment you cry, the other brings you to cloud number nine.

"So it's oke then?" He asked.
"Of course. Eventhough it is not oke. It has nothing to do with you. On the contrarary some do feel inspired by you, healed from you. Hurts are soothed and wound have been sealed in rain. Tears run with you leaving only new person with new heart. You have no idea, how you are wanted"
"Really?"

I looked at him, noded and sighed.

"You may not believe me. But I love you. Your coming has managed to save me from feeling too much of humankind"

"I feel whole in rain, can think myself clear and see myself better"  I continue my sentence.
"As long as I don't get soaked in rain. Because sometimes you're acting unfriendly and so stupid with your pouring water like there'd be no tomorrow. Makes me mad when you're doing that"
"Hahahaha. Sorry. I can't help. It's trully fun, you know"
"There you go now laughing. It's good. I hate seeing you being sulky. Not cool"
"Allright. Thanks"
"You're welcome"

We both held in silence. I listened to the rain. I got mesmerized with the way he excluded me from this life without making me notice it just by watching water dropped from ceiling, gather themself together and then march to the ponds. A perfect action, that is wellplaned.

"I see you have been writing poems now" He broke our silence.
"You notice that"
"Barely. But yes. Like you said. I inspired humankind. So I assumed. It's because of me"
"No kidding. Are you serius? Really? Poem about you?" I laughed jokingly.

I remembered one scene from Harry Potter, where little Harry stand in front of the magic mirror and unwilling to leave because there he could see something, that he doesn't have in real life. He saw him self with his parents on his side. To those, who is not familiar with Harry Potter, FYI, he is an orphan, within few days or weeks after his birth. So he doesn't have chance to meet his parents as real person.

Does it hurt? To be able to open your heart and then being forced to shut it again.
Does it hurt? To be able to be under the same sky yet becoming stranger to one another.
Does it hurt to fall for someone who seem to be all perfect outside but have terrible characters inside,  to fall for someone who treats you horribly yet you still can't do anything about it?

It does hurt. But then you know. Everything happened for reason. The line he crossed is way too deep that you can't follow. You won't follow. You mustn't follow. The way of adultery, of zina is too much to follow. You two are not one of a kind. The day he went checked in in a hotel with a woman who isn't his mahram is the culprit. The cut, a deep sharp cut between you both. The one who did zina made only for each other, the same person that do zina too. Bare in mind, You are not. So he is released. Let him alone delusioned with the flower he has chosen. You are now free. Be grateful indeed.

Ibu, hari ini anakmu ulang tahun. Karena itu kah bapak dan ibu datang di mimpiku tadi malam? Untuk mengingatkan aku akan hari penting anakmu. Terima kasih. Aku senantiasa bahagia mendapat kunjungan dari kalian berdua. Walau dalam mimpi saja. Aku senang kalian nampak baik serta sehat.

Ibu, hari ini anakmu ulang tahun. Jangan khawatir. Aku tidak melupakan hari baik ini. Bahkan sejak detik pertama pada pergantian hari, meskipun tak terucap lisan, segala doa pemujaan kebaikan terkirim kepada langit untuk anakmu, Bu. Demikian juga kepada kalian berdua. Tidak akan cukup terima kasih kami anakmu atas jasamu, tidak akan mampu membalas budi kami kepadamu. Hanya melantunkan doa kami bisa. Semoga sang maha mengasihi mencurahkan kasih sayangnya senantiasa kepada ibu dan bapak. Tetaplah membersamai kami.
Kami butuh ibu, dan juga bapak tentu.

Ibu, hari ini anakmu ulang tahun. Ibu tahu? Jelang hari ini berakhir berganti menuju pagi esok hari, hujan turun. Hujan itu baik kan, Bu? Dia mendinginkan panasnya bumi. Di malam hari ditenangkannya para jiwa, mengistirahatkan raga yang kelelahan setelah seharian terjaga. Kalian berdua, tidurlah dengan nyenyak di sana. Dan anakmu juga. Semoga tidurnya berkelimpahan doa dan cinta, harapan dan kasih sayang tak berkesudahan, penuh syukur dalam kerendahan hati yang ditenangkan dan menenangkan karena sekali lagi Ibu, hari ini anakmu ulang tahun.

I decided to stop my working today exactly at five pm by leaving some more work for tomorrow. I stumbled over an article from the internet that I read happily as I turned off my laptop. It’s about (not) taking lesson. While common advise tells us to always take lesson in life, this time we are kind of being encouraged not to. It is not an order, I assumed. It is an inquiry, something to think of. In my honest opinion the reading and then thinking of “this” means also taking lesson. Because it is too persuading us to learn. I mean, what would you call it, if you are contemplating, deep researching something if not as an activity of taking lesson? In what time does human not learn?

" _Does everything have to be a lesson?"_ It said. "We can make a little tiny pause, relax and chill and let things be". Surely we may think, this is such a provocative opinion. Furthermore it asked us, "if any lesson, there is to be learned, will come naturally and intuitively" Again, I must admit that this is not wrong too. Natural and intuitive learning processes? You may google it and find some convincing discussion about it.

Kadang pertanyaan di atas, kalau saya bosan menggunakannya, akan saya ganti menjadi "Belajar bahasa Jerman untuk apa?" atau kalimat tanya yang semakna itu. Intinya sih tujuanmu apa. Karena menurut saya itu penting bagi saya dan juga bagi si pembelajar sendiri untuk langkah kami ke depan. Ya memang harus begitu kan? Nge-chat orang saja biasanya, normalnya, ada tujuan bahkan chat model ga jelas yang pakai awalan P, P, P itu 😋. Lah ini lo belajar bahasa Jerman. Bahasa yang sulitnya luar biasa. Memang dia tidak ada unggah-ungguh seperti bahasa Korea, tidak pakai huruf khusus seperti bahasa Jepang, Mandarin dll, namun dia punya seperangkat artikel dan keturunannya yang lumayan menguji kesabaran dalam belajar. Dan jangan lupa masih ada aturan komposita serta tata bahasa yang bisa membuat orang mundur, mending putus pacaran dan ga dapat orang Jerman ketimbang gila saat belajar bahasanya orang tersebut hahaha🏃. Kidding. Ga segitunya juga kali. Bahasa Jerman itu menarik, unik, dan cantik. Logika kita akan amat sangat bermain di sini. Khusus untuk artikel memang tidak ada logika (paling tidak bagi saya). Dia main hajar maskulin-feminin-netral. Mau tanya kenapa? Gak. Ga usah tanya. Terima dan telan saja apa adanya, kelak mungkin akan dipahamkan. Dan kalau tidak juga paham akan alasannya, ya tidak mengapa. Yang penting bisa memakainya dengan baik dan benar.

Karena nggak tahu juga kenapa:

pintu = die Tür (feminin)
Jendela= das Fenster (netral)
Meja = der Tisch (maskulin)

Seriously, ga akan rugi belajar bahasa Jerman sebagaimana tidak rugi pula belajar bahasa-bahasa yang lain. Oleh karena itu penting sekali untuk tahu kenapa belajar agar tidak salah tepat dalam memilih sebab banyak bahasa di luar sana. Why German then??

The problem or should I say my problem about writing is to decide, wether you want to go and make it public or keep it to your self only. To me it has been an on and on never ending struggle and inner war. It does cost time and energy. Considering that what you have written yourself was still in a very small amount, it bothers me so much because I think, I have given up my energy for nothing. Instead of writing you're busy doing/thinking something else.

A dear close friend of mine has told me once that she would rather write everything pop up in her mind. Yes of course by saying "everything" she means all, including her deep intimate private thing that only she and God know. It was her energy chaneling. And after finishing her writing thing, she will just erase or delete the whole text with no regret at all. There she goes: inner peace. Of course there'd be time interval to that. Depends on its degree of confidentiality you may size from one hour up to two weeks. Or more or less.

I think I can relate to her argument quite well. She's right about writing serves an energy transfer. The act of erasing itself doesn't mean that the materials are gone. The thought is out there still. To sum it up. In my friend's case, she doesn't go public with her writing exept if it related to her work, I assumed. Because she writes papers and ESL handbook as she is now a postgrad student and also a teacher.

Take a look at another example of going public with your writing. I knew someone who's been actively writing in blog for ten years. Speaking about consistency 👍.  But, this person never reveals anything about personal identity except for few like hometown or school, which pretty common to add details in story/naration. And should you know the reason, it was the unwillingness to be known and seen by others, who might gain knowledge about this person. Here we have then an anonymous writer goes public.

Depends on what is shared on public, there is another type I should mention here too. It's same as the anonymous with slightly difference. It called the *publicly secretive writer. I should work on this terminology more I think. And what is that supposed to mean? To be honest, I don’t have any idea at all. Publicly secretive is paradox. One side you are secretive, yet on the other side you’re blabbering yourself and sometimes also your life too over the internet. When someone is not easily voicing their thought or their feeling to just anyone around but here. One is spilling theirs throughout the world, while the personal identity is kept anonym, still it felt vogue and cringed. Or not? Does that mean one started to loose his or her trust in humankind? Once again I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because you think internet is less harm compared to human. You see, sometimes the one you trust with all your heart turned out to be your silent evil lurking at your back, a wolf in sheep wool around you. Or to make it sound wise enough I should say someone isn't ready to let his or her true self known in the society for one reason or more and see their way out in internet.

Reading and writing should go hand in hand. The more you read, the more headache you got. Ups. No. Of course not. That won't happen. I mean, how come? Reading enriches you, makes the heart grows to its fullest. It is the act of opening windows to the other world. Wait. Why is that to me "to the other world" sound creepy? I should put it neutral and as wise as I can be. No second guessing. The other world means "other world", the one that is not belong to us, we don't live there, yet apparently interesting enough to us. Oh well. I shouldn't discuss this matter. It isn't a big deal. You do know for sure, what I mean right? It's just an October air brings not only cold but also spooky one near. Hellow there halloween🤭

Nevertheles please just read. It's wonderful. It's not about how many or what kind of books you read, it's about the way books transform one person into one meaningful.
