Untuk Ibu
Apa yang udah kita berikan ke orang tua kita? especially nyokap... kalo pertanyaan ini ditujukan ke gw... maka gw akan terdiam untuk waktu yang lama sampe akhirnya ngga ada jawaban satu pun yang keluar dari mulut gw... karena memang sampe saat ini ga ada satupun yang pernah gw berikan ke nyokap untuk bikin beliau bangga atau seneng karena dah ngelahirin gw... "what a bad son in the world..."
Beda halnya sama "Rohaya", salah satu staff gw yang menikah sore ini diusianya yang memasuki 38 tahun... cukup telat memang untuk ukuran wanita yang menikah diusia segitu... tapi sungguh pernikahan itu gw bilang sebagai pernikahan paling berkah seantero jagad... "Rohaya" mengorbankan dirinya untuk tidak dulu menikah karena dia harus merawat Ibunya yang sakit untuk waktu yang lama ditambah dia juga harus bekerja untuk menutupi kebutuhan keluarganya, puluhan atau bahkan ratusan pria yang berusaha mendekatinya diabaikan begitu saja karena dia harus fokus terhadap kesehatan Ibu-nya yang akhirnya berpulang beberapa bulan yang lalu.... Dasar emang jodoh ngga bakal lari kemana-mana, berselang beberapa bulan setelah ibu-nya meninggal akhirnya "Rohaya" menemukan tambatan hatinya... berjalan beberapa bulan menjalin hubungan akhirnya hari ini "Rohaya" menikah... Salute to Rohaya... Oh Mother Whoa, oh, yeah, She was so young with such innocent eyes She always dreamt of a fairytale life And all the things your money can't buy She thought daddy was a wonderful guy Then suddenly, things seemed to change It was the moment she took on his name He took his anger out on her face She kept all of her pain locked away Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back Cause he'll never hurt us again So mother, I thank you For all you've done and still do You got me, I got you Together we always pull through We always pull through We always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother It was the day that he turned on his kids That she knew she just had to leave him So many voices inside of her head Saying over and over and over, "You deserve much more than this." She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide Covering the cuts and bruises (cuts and bruises) So tired of defending her life, she could have died Fighting for the lives of her children Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed (all of the tears you have shed) Oh mother, don't look back Cause he'll never hurt us again (he'll never hurt us again) So mother, I thank you (thank you) For all that you've done and still do (still do) You got me, I got you, (yeah you got me and I got you) Together we always pull through. We always pull through We always pull through Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother All of your life you have spent Burying hurt and regret But mama, he'll never touch us again For everytime he tried to break you down Just remember who's still around It's over, and we're stronger And we'll never have to go back again Oh mother, we're stronger From all of the tears you have shed Oh mother, don't look back (oh mother don't look back again) Cause he'll never hurt us again (cause he'll never hurt us again) So mother, I thank you (and I thank you for everything you've done) For all that you've done and still do (together we always move on) You got me, I got you, (you got me, I got you) Together we always pull through (always pull through) We always pull through We always pull through I love you mom
