kepada seorang ibu,

sekitar seminggu yang lalu, kedua orangtua saya pergi ke dokter. babap mengantarkan mamih dan sepulang saya bekerja, babap bilang, "ada daging yang harus diangkat dari rahim mamih." saya kaget. jujur saya kaget setengah mati. babap bilang, "kamu telvon mamih gih. aku lagi ga di rumah, dia di rumah. coba semangatin ya."

dan saya pun segera menelvon mamih. dia dengan nadanya yang seperti tidak ada apa-apa bertanya pada saya, ada dimana saya dan kenapa belum pulang. saya pun tanpa basa basi langsung bertanya, "mih ada daging yang harus diangkat yah?" dan nadanya berubah. dia masih berusaha menutupi dan menjawab, "iya, harus operasi katanya. gatau tuh tadi katanya ukurannya udah berapa besar. harus check-up segala macem dulu, sih.." masih juga berusaha menutupi. lalu saya bertanya tentang obat apa yang harus dikonsumsinya dan sebagainya. tapi dia masih berusaha bahwa semua baik-baik saja. tapi nadanya berbohong. dan saya lebih jago lagi berbohong, menyuruhnya makan dengan benar dan beristirahat dengan nada suara saya yang seperti biasa saat berbicara dengannya di telepon dan berusaha riang.

saya tau bagaimana ibu saya dalam menghadapi dokter. dia bukan orang yang sering berurusan dengan dokter. batuk sedikit ya meminum obat seadanya di rumah atau minum jeruk nipis dengan kecap, bahkan lebih senang dipijit ketika badannya mulai sakit atau kepalanya mulai pusing daripada harus menenggak parasetamol. saya tau, dia sendiri pasti kaget dan berusaha tidak mau saya kenapa-kenapa. dia suka menyembunyikan sakitnya padahal sudah terlihat bahwa dia sakit, tapi dia tidak pernah membiarkan orang lain mengurusnya, bahkan ayah saya. ya paling cuma minta pijit.

beberapa hari yang lalu mereka kembali ke dokter. babap bilang si mamih mau check-up. dan sehari setelahnya, saya menanyakan keadaannya. mamih bilang, "gatau tuh, mamih juga ga ngerti." lagi-lagi berusaha untuk menutupi sesuatu. saya sendiri bingung harus bertanya apa.

mamih, mamih itu kebiasaan deh, nutupin sesuatu yang bikin mamih pusing dari anak-anaknya. ayo dong mih, jessica udah mau umur 23 lho, tahun ini. bukan anak 3 tahun yang ga peduli sama dunianya selain playground dan bukan anak 13 tahun yang baru tau dunia. kenapa sih mamih selalu susah untuk cerita apa-apa ke jessica? kenapa mamih harus dipaksa-paksa cerita yang? ini kan tentang mamih sendiri, tentang kesehatan mamih juga, tentang kesehatan psikologis semuanya. apa iya aku harus tau semua hal belakangan? kenapa ga dari awal aja mamih share semua ke aku? apa aku harus jadi orang yang ga ngerti tentang keadaan orangtuanya? mih, maaf kalo mungkin mamih ngeliatnya aku ga care. aku coba tanya ke mamih dan mamih ga menjawab. aku sendiri ga bisa paksa mamih untuk cerita kalo mamih belum mau cerita karena aku takut kalo aku maksa mamih buat cerita, mamih akan senewen sendiri dan berefek ke pikiran dan tekanan darah, dsb. tapi bukannya dengan mamih cerita malah akan mengurangi pikiran mamih ya? sebenernya aku ga tau harus kaya gimana. di satu sisi aku sangat ingin tau semua hasil check-up mamih, tapi dengan sikap mamih yang menutupi, aku merasa aku ga perlu menanyakan detailnya ke mamih. sekedar cukup tau, tapi aku takut dibilang ga ada peduli-pedulinya. mungkin emang perlu pendekatan-pendekatan lagi, ya..

sejak mamih pulang dari dokter yang pertama itu, mamih keliatan agak cranky. wajar. saya berusaha menerima semuanya dengan wajar. ibu saya itu selalu was-was bawaannya kalo udah medical check-up. ibaratnya sih lebih baik dia ga usah medical check-up. semuanya lebih normal tanpa medical check-up karena sebelum check-up pasti dia kepikiran ini itu dan tegang sendiri yang akhirnya yaaa tekanan darahnya suka lebay, padahal sih ga darah tinggi juga.

mamih, jessica ga pernah bisa bilang kalo jessica sedih. karena aku tau itu akan bikin mamih tambah sedih. aku juga ga akan bisa menunjukan ke mamih kalo aku khawatir karena aku tau mamih bukan orang yang suka dikasihanin. tapi aku anak mamih, dan mamih ibu aku. sebenernya ga ada yang bisa kita tutup-tutupin. mungkin mamih sendiri sekarang tau kalo aku khawatir. aku sedih sih, liat mamih makan cuma dengan bubur sama telor. aku tau mamih pasti pengen macem-macem. keadaan mamih tuh sehat-sehat aja kok. percaya deh, kalo mamih yakin ini semua akan baik-baik aja, ya semua akan baik-baik aja. jangan nervous ya, mih. jangan khawatirin segala sesuatu. jalanin aja dulu masa-masa pengobatan ini sampai pengangkatan dan recovery-nya. bener deh, ini bukan masalah besar kok asal mamih nurut dan ga merasa tertekan dengan bubur yang harus mamih makan atau jajanan yang ga boleh mamih cemilin. hehehe.. mamih sendiri kan tau, kalo orang yang lagi sakit terus segala sesuatu dipikirin atau merasa kalo sakitnya itu sangat berbahaya dan sebagainya, ya bahayanya adalah dia jadi tambah sakit. yakinin diri mamih kaya babap yakin waktu mau pasang ring ya, mih.. yakinin kalo semua akan baik-baik aja dan berjalan normal.

aku sayang sama mamih. maaf kalo aku ga bisa nunjukin ke mamih. tapi tolong percaya ya mih, aku akan selalu sayang sama mamih dan ini bukan sesuatu yang harus kita takutin. Allah pasti akan sembuhin mamih kok :)


untuk teman-teman dan keluarga yang membaca blog ini, mohon doanya ya agar si mamih bisa ngejalanin operasi pengangkatan dagingnya (apapun nama keren si daging itu, entah kista atau mium atau apalah itu).

dan tolong dong tolong, jangan bilang-bilang sama mamih kalo saya nulis blog ini, bukan karena gengsi! tapi terutama untuk keluarga saya, saya cuma takut kalo sebenernya si mamih masih nyembunyiin dari keluarga yang lainnya dan gitu deeeh dia ga mau orang lain juga jadi khawatir. dan dia bisa pundung kalo tau saya cerita-cerita di internet begini (biarpun punya fb, tetep aja dia merasa kalo internet itu sumber dari segala informasi yang ga selalu perlu diketahui. ya kaya gini ini :p) hehehee..

terima kasih untuk doanya dan perhatiannya :)

HELLO 2011!

hello. this is 2011 and how do you do? hmmm.. weeeeelllll, where should i start it from? do i have to introduce my self again? i'm still jessica, or maybe i'm familiar as jeje. some things have been changed. i'm no longer a high school student like the first time i wrote in this blog. i am an employee. now! and it sucks. yes, honestly. life has been changed. daddy has been retired, my brother now stays at bandung for college. and my mom's easily getting worried about things.

my beautiful tante nia married a man with 2 daughters. he's om awan, but his daughters idya and dinda who lives with their mom. we usually meet at the family gathering. my grandmother whom i called "Ibu" passed away on april 2010, about a week before my birthday. i kinda miss her, there's no more "ibu-gendut" who used to asked me when will i graduate from college like over and over each time i met her. and she's no longer on bed when i come to visit her house and take a nap on her room. things are come and go. after Ibu passed away, months later, i've got another cousins which is another girl in the family. she's falisha and she looks like Ibu very much, her chin and most of her face! she's ditta and icha's new sister - daughters of om didit and tante dewi whom are expecting a boy in the family because there are to many girls when my mother's siblings are gather. but God gives us another girl, so we thank God for His gift. and after the newborn baby girl, tante iris starts a new life with her 'bule' husband - uncle olaf - at Houston, Texas. I know we had too much cat-fights but it was sad when i went to the airport and saw her left her family. but for God sake, she's doing great with her new life.

my life was upside down. had too much fight with my boyfriend but he's the one who always understands and being so patient. i'm so glad and i can't believe it, we're gonna have the second years anniversary this february. oh-i'm-so-thankful-and-so-in-love. this is the longest period of relationship in my life, although not for him. rrrggghh. hahahaa.. i got mad easily and i was so temperament. it looked like everything he did was wrong. i got mad when he stayed late at campus because i knew he did nothing, there's nothing important. got drink drank drunk and i really hate it. i thought it was better for him to made a portfolio and get a job. in the other side, i knew he was quitted his job for about 2 months after 9 months worked as a freelancer and he needed some times to chilled before another job. arguing, complaining, ignoring, teasing was kinda things i did and i forget how things back to normal. those shits were happened at the end of the year and i just wanted to spend the last day of 2010 on a good mood and the first day of 2011 and the other 364 days should be great, with him and with my life. on new year eve he's the person who hugged me and we watched the fireworks together. since the first time i fell in love with someone, i was dreamt about that night. a night with so much fireworks on the sky and that someone, hug me and we're just staring at the colorful sky. and he made it, dewa pratama did it :p we spent the NYE at puncak with our friends. it was good and we're so happy. lemon on beer made me cool. hahaha.

anyway, i am currently working as a graphic designer at Lancome, one of L'Oreal's beauty products. this is my third week on this office. so far still good, and not much to tell. after i graduated, i spent a month jobless. the opportunity came on november until december, The Brand Union, a big company in branding called me for an internship. two months flies like a week. i really like The Brand Union. i could learn about brand and branding, the subject that i haven't learnt a lot at college. there were only 5 persons on The Brand Union. first, Yasha Chatab the managing director, Primo the account manager (we only met for a month because he was resigned, and replace by Efrat), Diana the graphic designer, David the financial-man, and Mimi the administrator.

what else to tell? cookie? he's already 1 year old. my parents already get along with his noise and when he runs around the house. dad always likes to take him for a walk and back home with stories to tell from their 'trip'. almost every weekend, dad wakes me up in the morning and ask me to put a leash on cookie because he can't do it. cookie barks and wave his tail whenever dad go to my room with leash on his hand. cookie knows that he will have a walk with dad. he is very excited. hahahaa..


wheeeww i post a blog. finally! cool! and i wrote it in english, which i know there must be many mistakes written. hahahha.. don't worry, people learns from their mistakes. i hope this year, i'll be back to blogspot and share my stories like i used to. if there's a place to write as much as you like, why should you write on the 140-character-media?! jokiiiiing! i still need u, twitter! :p

how i miss writing, honestly :)
