Ayahku Kini 50 Tahun

Sejak aku bangun tidur pagi ini, reminder di HP menunjukkan bahwa hari ini hari lahir ayahku. Aku tak acuh pada informasi itu, sampai kemudian 2,5 jam setelahnya aku menutup reminder tersebut. Lalu aku baru mengingat-ingat, berapa tho usia ayahku sekarang?

50 tahun….

Seketika aku menangis…. sampai ingus ini keluar…. aku masih menangis meski air mata tak kuasa keluar lagi.

In that morning. I checked my cell phone immediately after waking up, as I do in the usual day. Oh, there’s no sms at all. I felt a bit sad but in the other hand I felt relieved. “My birthday doesn’t deserve to be congratulated. It should be a sad day because the remaining time of my life is decreasing. I’m not a teenager anymore and my responsibility’s getting bigger. Birthday congratulations from my friends can make me too happy and forget that I am getting older. It’s better not to get any congratulation at all.” That was I thought.
