what was supposed to be a sketch turned into a messy full piece

[elegeia-unforgotten]

i havent really thought much about Kalo as Azem because my primary focus tends to be on them as they are for the actual on-screen game, not to mention Kalo is a character i've ported over from other spaces.

but they often have very common themes of hope. and while it is silly due to there being a location in game named it. i've been considering the original name of my azem being Elpis

I ran out of tags before i could list all the rune factory girls im really sorry ill do better next time...

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

Doaku diijabah.

Rasanya kalo bisa menuliskan semua hal yang aku doakan, pasti ada banyak yang sudah aku centang menandakan sudah banyak doaku yang diijabah.

Bahkan, adakalanya aku merasa doaku dijawab dengan lebih banyak kebaikan daripada apa yang aku minta. Allah kasih lebih banyak, Allah kasih lebih baik.

Maka dari itu, aku berusaha merenungkan apa-apa saja doaku, dan bagaimana aku menghambakan diri merayu Allah. Apakah caraku sudah baik, sudah mengiba, atau malah membuat Allah cemburu.

Mengapa membuat Allah cemburu?

Aku teringat perjalanan dari Madinah menuju Mekkah. Sudah berpakaian ihram dan mengambil niat umroh. Aku membaca pesan-pesan dari orang-orang yang menitipkan doa. Aku juga sudah mempersiapkan doa-doa yang ingin aku panjatkan. Aku menyadari, bahwa doa-doaku isinya duniawi.

Perjalanan yang cukup jauh ditempuh. Aku beribadah dengan mengharapkan keindahan akhirat. Tapi doaku mayoritas isinya dunia. Aku ingin mendapatkan A, aku ingin memiliki B, Aku ingin melakukan C. Semuanya tentang kesenangan dunia.

Walaupun tidak masalah semua permintaan itu. Sebab dunia seisinya pun milik Allah. Wajar kalau kita meminta kepada-Nya.

Tapi, aku menyadari, terkadang isi doaku bisa saja membuat Allah cemburu.

Maka aku belajar untuk menutup doaku dengan, "Yaa Rabb, aku menerima segala ketetapan-Mu." Selayaknya doa Nabi Zakaria, "Aku belum pernah kecewa dalam berdoa kepada-Mu Yaa Tuhanku."

Dan ketika aku terbiasa menutup doa seperti itu, aku menyadari, tidak ada doa yang tidak Allah dengarkan yang tidak Allah jawab.

Meskipun terkadang membutuhkan waktu yang lama, seiring kita selalu mengingat, apa yang kita terima hari ini adalah doa-doa yang sudah terucap oleh diri sendiri, ataupun orang-orang yang mendoakan kita.

Mari berdoa, minta doa, dan mendoakan. Kelak satu persatu kebaikan akan datang.

Baarakallahufiikum.

About Syir, from Pokemadhouse

TW: Mentions of R4pe and Abu53

If you follow me for a while, must have seen my Pokemadhouse rage about Syir The Gardevoir.

But unfortunally i never explained WHY i hate her so much and why my blood boils when i talk about her.

So, here is the big explanation, in topics.

1-So, who is Syir and what did she do?

Syir is a character from Poke Madhouse, a now deleted pokemon comic made by Lily and Mikaila Orchard that talks about a pokemon world and the lives of their ocs and their pokemon in a house.

In this world Gardevoirs are the most dangerous and powerful species of pokemon, and Syir is a Female Gardevoir whose trainer is nothless than Diantha, The Kalos Champion.

And not only that, she and Diantha are implied on being in a relationship, wich in Poke Madhouse world is seen as the worst crime a person can do, even if its consensual. Gardevoirs are the biggest victims in this, as Lily even said People call them "The Waifu Pokemon", and doesnt help they do a thing called Mating Bond, where they use their psych powers to fuse their lives together.

And in this case, if you think they have a very good relationship...

ITS NOT WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

Diantha in the comics is coerced by her Gardevoir into sexual relationships, even using her psych powers to rape her. And she cant escape or cut the bond, as Syir use it to control and track her, like a leash. Also, Syir kills anyone who discovers about the True nature of their relationship, and its implied in some comics that everyone knows the nature of their relationship but dont do anything in fear of getting killed next.

2-Why no one tried to stop her?

A thing from Poke Madhouse is that Gardevoirs are in risk of extinction and have very short lifespans because of excessive breeding to get perfect Gardevoirs and shinies (Basically Lily dissing People who do this). So they are an endangered species. Also, this was Lily decision, without any reason besides "why not?"

There were at least 3 People who gave reasonable plans to defeat her. Poison, Guns, attack with pokemons with type advantage. All good and reasonable things within pokemon universe. However, all Lily answered them was a meme.

This meme

Basically, the answer to everyone wanting to defeat Syir. Literally a "You cant" in form of a bad meme.

Lily says that Syir is too powerful and evil to be defeated, to the point there's nothing anyone can do. Even G and C!Lily couldnt. Hell even Bonnie cant stop her, lily said that if they met Bonnie would cry and hide.

Actually, this will be the final topic, the reason i hate her.

3-Snitches get Stitches

In 2020, Lily added a thing in Madhouse wikia Page of Syir, currently deleted by her. She added a small lore info about Diantha and Syir.

Diantha one day managed to escape Syir and tried to find Help on the last person who tried to stop her Gardevoir: C!Lily.

C!Lily was an enforcer, a kind of pokemon cop, who really tried to stop Syir. However, Syir almost murdered both her and G, wich made C!Lily abandon all investigation she made, and made her terrified of Syir.

Diantha begged her for help, to find a way to save her. But C!Lily didnt wanted to help, because Syir threatened to kill everyone who she loved if she tried anything.

So what C!Lily did?

She gave Diantha back to Syir.

She GAVE. AN ABUSE VICTIM. BACK TO ITS ABUSER.

Now you get it why i feel so much hate towards her?

I dont care about any drama of hers, i cant EXCUSE THAT SHE WROTE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WANTS ME TO LIKE HER CHARACTERS.

TO LIKE G, C!LILY OR ANYONE ELSE.

She May have deleted the original pages and only left the nuke attack she gave to Syir.

But i will never forget what she did.

And i will never forgive.

Hello, I am a huge fan of your work and I’ve been following you for a while! I am a gay Greek student at the History & Mythology department from Aristotle University. I had to do a lot of research and homework regarding certain subjects and one of them was Κρόκος (Krokos/Crocus). Crocus was in fact in love with a nymph named Smilax, but was never, in any valid story, involved with Hermes romantically. Contrary to popular belief, homosexuality was something that was condemned in the majority of most city-states of ancient Greece, especially Athens. In fact, they even had the derogatory term for gay people “kinaidos” (κίναιδος) and they were banned from participating in politics, banned from the Olympics, banned from participating in the war, banned from being priests and in worse cases, they were sentenced to death. :( “Αν τις Αθηναίος εταιρήση, με έξεστω αυτω των εννέα αρχόντων γενέσθαι, μηδέ ιερωσύνην ιερώσασθαι, μηδέ συνδικήσαι τω δήμω, μηδέ αρχήν αρχέτω μηδεμιάν, μήτε ενδημον, μήτε υπερόριον, μήτε κληρωτήν, μήτε χειροτονητήν, μηδέ επικυρήκειαν αποστελλέσθω, μηδέ γνώμην λεγέτω, μηδέ εις τα δημοτελή ιερά εισίτω, μηδέ εν ταις κοιναίς σταφονοφορίες σταφανούσθω, μηδέ εντός των της αγοράς περιρραντηριων πορευέσθω.

Εάν δε ταύτα τις ποιή,καταγνωσθέντως αυτού εταιρείν, θανάτω ζημιούσθω.” Translation: “If an Athenean performs this, he will not be allowed to become member of the 9 lords, he will not be able to become a priest, he will not be able to become an advocate of the people, he will have no authority inside or outside of Athens, he cannot become a war preacher, he will not be able to express his opinion, he will not be allowed to enter the sacred public temples, he will not be able to take walks happening in Agora. If he ignores any of these laws he will be sentenced to death.” - Solon Laws in book 5, chapter 5

Also, the term “Pederastry” actually meant “Mentoship” and it had nothing to do with sexual relationship between a male teacher and a male student. Many of the homosexual depictions regarding historical and mythological figures are created in modern times without any evidence to back it up. For instance, Achilles and Patroclus are often assumed to be lovers in modern media when in all actuality they were just cousins. Patroclus’ father Μενοίτιος (Menoetius) and Achilles’ father Πηλέας (Peleus) were brothers.

Alexander the Great was never in a relationship with his best friend Hephaestion as there’s no evidence to back it up besides him telling him his secrets and mourning his death.

The only historical figure that could be a legit bisexual was Sappho from the island Lesbos (which is why Greece now calls the island “Mytelene” to avoid any association with lesbians, despite it being the name of one of the cities there). She was accused of being a promiscuous woman who was sleeping with many men and that she was a woman-lover due to her poems, but this is still up to debate to this day.

The worst of all is that most pictures involving homosexual activity used as evidence to prove queerness have been modern remakes of an ancient artifacts depicting heterosexuality (or even the rape of women). Eros Kalos is responsible for many of these “queer copies”.

This deeply saddens me as I am a homosexual myself, but I don’t think Ancient Greece deserves credit for being “open-minded” on the subject knowing that they would treat me badly if I was born in my country in that era. I don’t feel comfortable with people trying to prove that it was gay when that’s not true at all. Anyway, I am very happy that artists like you exist and make their own fictional versions of the characters in ways that feel comfortable for us to look at. Stay amazing. <3

Wow, this was a super interesting read !!! Thanks for all the helpful info :3 It's sometimes difficult to discern what "love" between gods and mortals means in the translated texts, as sometimes it can mean romantic/sexual love, and other times it just means godly love, i.e. mortals who were "chosen" by gods to be their patrons (so just having a very strong spiritual connection in the same way the Christian God "loves his children") and I feel like sometimes those two things become conflated a lot in discussion around those stories, but that's why it's always important to listen to other interpretations and translations to try and get the most accurate recounting possible.

Mind you, I am not Greek so take ALL of my opinions on this topic with OLYMPUS-SIZED-MOUNTAINS OF SALT LOL

I actually had no idea about the Alexander the Great x Hephaestion thing, and upon searching it up, it brought up articles about a Netflix production? Would I be wrong in assuming that's what motivated you to clarify on that ? 😆 (or is it just a common sentiment these days? genuinely asking haha I'm not so sharp on my Alexander the Great lore these days 😔🤡)

I absolutely agree that Greece itself isn't exactly a pillar of LGBTQ+ representation or rights (it is, after all, predominantly Orthodox Christian and they just legalized gay marriage in this, the year of our suffering 2024) and it's important not to put on blinders or use our connection to the gods and myths to erase what's going on historically. It's certainly not a magical imperfect wonderland - no culture or country is - and the more people are aware of that, the more they can become aware of ongoing issues and fight for things like equal rights (as they should!) so they can move towards positive change.

I think there's definitely lots to be said about the fandomification of Greek myth as well, where a lot of people take fun in the cute / funny / easy-to-headcanon parts of the myths without recognizing where they come from, why they were written, and who they were written for. It's easy to be a non-Greek person consuming and engaging with all the fun parts of the myths, because we get the privilege of being outsiders looking in who can interpret the myths in our own way free of consequences or the reality of the culture these myths are from. And I say that as someone who's not Greek and absolutely falls into that camp! Some of us use that privilege responsibly, others... not so much. And again, that's something that can happen with any culture (though I can definitely name a handful that have become notorious for how fandomified they've become through pop culture cough Japan cough Korea cough Canada, yes I fucking said Canada-)

That said, as with any culture that becomes more popularized with people outside of it, as much as that can lead to harm and misrepresentation in many ways, it can also lead to a lot of joy and appreciation. I'm glad that so many people have found themselves in the myths and find their hope through them and reclaim their power through them even if they've had a messy history. I see this sort of reclamation thriving in Christian mythology as well, through those who want to reclaim the beauty of many of its stories and messages and express the joy and love and compassion in them, rather than using them for hate and discrimination as they're so commonly and systematically used. In that way I think you can easily have adaptions that aren't historically accurate, but are more reflective of the culture and hopes and dreams of the people who are retelling them in the modern day. I think it's important to keep both in mind.

IMO it's one of those "if we don't find joy in it and use it to spread love to others, that means the bigots get to use it for harm" type things, if that makes sense :'0 But that doesn't mean we should pretend like history never happened, because in doing so, we're doomed to repeat it. We should always do our best to respect where these stories came from, and do more to learn about them when we get the opportunity to do so, because not doing so is how we end up with adaptions and "retellings" that are so far removed from the source material - but still ingrain themselves so seriously without a shred of transparency - that they almost become erasure in and of themselves. As I say a lot here, balance is key, and we should always be making efforts to learn ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Gak etis dan menunggu

Dalam salah satu sesi QnA di laman biru, dari circle yang aku kenal, aku menemukan case dan pertanyaan yang menarik.

Intinya, penanya adalah perempuan 24-25 tahun, ditanya ortu untuk segera menikah. Ybs menjaga pergaulan dan prefer taaruf. Ortunya bilang "kalau kamu gak berteman/bergaul, sampai sekarang belum ada yang lamar, gimana mau nikah. Ga bisa cuma berdoa, harus usaha."

Lalu ybs bertanya pada temanku,

"Bagaimana ikhtiar yg benar dalam menjemput jodoh? Rasanya sulit dan kurang etis juga kalau pihak perempuan yang menanyakan duluan. Apakah doa dan belajar memperbaiki diri sudah cukup "ikhtiar" (menunggu ada laki-laki yg datang menghampiri untuk taaruf)".

Btw, enggak ada salah bener sih, sesuai prinsip masing-masing.

Aku membayangkan adik penanya memang se-menjaga pergaulan itu, se-minim komunikasi itu, ala ukhti-ukhti berkerudung panjang yang se-menjaga itu. Dan, kalau boleh aku memberi sedikit opini (walau ybs gak nanya ke aku), ada beberapa point yang ku highlight:

Kata-kata orangtua ybs bener. Enggak bisa cuma memasrahkan dengan doa, menunggu semesta, duh klise banget. Kalaupun memang se-menjaga pergaulan itu, setidaknya, kamu aktif di kegiatan A/B/C, kamu menunjukkan bahwa "kamu ada di dunia mereka yang potensial yang akan mengajak taaruf suatu saat, entah kapan". Kamu berinteraksi ya selayaknya pertemanan sosial pada umumnya, dengan perempuan atau laki-laki. Belajar biar gak baperan.

"Rasanya sulit dan kurang etis". Memang, masih banyak, yang mengganggap itu sulit, "duh gak mungkin nanya duluan, aku nanti dikira apa". Kalau memang terasa sulit dan mustahil, kamu bisa minta tolong teman/kolega untuk menanyakan apakah beliau available atau gak. Berkali-kali, aku selalu bilang ke teman-teman ku soal ini, "kalau kamu sudah di level sakit kepala kepikiran terus sama beliau, nunggu dilamar tapi gak dilamar-lamar, cuma bisa diam diam diam, mending tanya, either tanya langsung atau lewat teman". And it works. Kalo beliau gak available atau gak berminat sama kamu, done, kamu bisa move cari yang lain. Gak usah investasi perasaan kelamaan.

"Apakah doa dan memperbaiki diri sudah cukup sebagai ikhtiar?" Dulu, narasi "memperbaiki diri" untuk bertemu orang baik, aku setuju. Tapi sekarang, aku pikir, ya upgrade diri buat diri sendiri lah yang utama, perkara itu akan mengantarkan ke bertemu yang baik itu bonus. Kamu lebih rajin ibadah misalnya, rajin skinkeran biar muka terawat, ya buat diri sendiri dulu. Dan sekali lagi, hanya berdoa dalam diam memohon dipersatukan, menurutku klise banget.

"Menunggu ada laki-laki yang datang". Enggak salah, tapi jangan sampai terjebak kalau, kondisi atau praktek sosial dan komunikasi mu se-terjaga/se-minim itu. Era 4.0 ini, jalur komunikasi itu banyak. Kalau misal kamu bertemu dalam satu event panitia, biasanya event punya akun sosmed, ya bisa lah di-follow dulu, terus komen/react, intinya biar beliau notice kalau kamu ada di dunianya. Nanti bisa mengalir dengan sendirinya secara organik.

Ya, cuma 4 point. Ini berdasar pengalaman aja, selama gap 9 tahun dari lulus kuliah dulu. Jangan sampai menyesal hanya berdoa saja. Bahkan kamu lapar pun pas di kosan tengah malam, kamu perlu nyeduh indomie kan?, tanpa keluar kosan beli ke warmindo.

Oh ya, kalau memang tidak ada orang yang potensial yang kamu inginkan, kamu bisa minta tolong ke teman/kolega/keluarga untuk dicarikan.

[find-thy-voice]

really gotta use my art blog more SO introducing my The Blackout Club kiddo, and a little peek into what kind of headcanons exist in my head uwu

[elegeia-unforgotten]

i like to headcanon that kalo has had some near death experiences that didn't necessarily happen in canon.

specifically, the final steps of faith.

game wise, what had happened was most of my group had died and i had to use the T3 limit break to get them all back up, and then died myself while everyone else finished the fight

so i like to think. kalo collapsed from their wounds and managed to heal themselves just enough to be able to get up and tear the eye from estiniens body, chuck it over the bridge, and then just collapsed immediately afterwards.

theres a huge scar on their torso from the experience, and they spent a few weeks in recovery due to it.

[would-this-pokemon-be-a-friend]

Since you did Froakie, how would you rate Greninja? -💙🖤

Look, let’s cut to the chase: it’s really hard to say on a whim if a human-sized frog ninja would be a good pet. What do you think? You’re probably right. As far as the algorithm goes, it’s inconclusive. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though.

First things first, like I said, greninjas are pretty human-sized. Sure, they crouch down quite a bit, but at full length this species stands almost five feet tall! They’re pretty lightweight and mobile despite this, so space won’t be too much of a problem in most cases (though they would need a human-sized bed). Greninjas are so nimble, in fact, that they seem to vanish and reappear at will with “a ninja’s grace” (Y). In the wild, this species uses their smooth moves in battle to take down enemies with ease. To put it bluntly, greninjas are killing machines. Does that disqualify them from being a pet? Again, I don’t know.

On one hand, greninjas are a part of an evolution line that is commonly used for new trainers in the Kalos Region. On the other hand, they are able to form and throw shurikens made of compressed water with enough speed and precision to split steel beams in two (X). Sure, they are known to be friendly and loyal to their trainers. But they could find you wherever you hide by sensing movement in the air with their sensitive tongue (Scarlet), so if that good will ever runs out, you’re in real trouble. They are receptive to training. They can also blast you with water and slice you up and kick you around. Do you see my issue here?

No other starter pokémon I’ve covered has had such a strong contrast between their deadly-ness and train-ability. Surely they don’t attack humans, right? Why else would they give them to children in Kalos? But what if they do? Then you’re dead. It’s a really tough one, so I think I’m going to leave it to you.

Greninjas are cool. Greninjas are loyal. Greninjas could cut your head off with mucus and water (Violet). It’s a toss-up. It’s a C rank.

RnD Eps. 52 "Allah's love wins all"

Seiring dengan datangnya tahun baru Islam, saya tidak bisa tidak menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk melihat ke belakang dan mengagumi betapa cintaNya Allah telah mengizinkan saya untuk belajar, bertumbuh, dan berubah, Alhamdulillah. Satu hal yang saya tahu pasti adalah bahwa saya yang sekarang adalah hasil dari banyak nasihat lembut yang diberikan dengan baik oleh orang-orang yang saya cintai dan banyak doa-doa rahasia yang dilakukan atas nama saya. Sebab memang, “Cinta Allah itu memenangkan segalanya.” Ketika saya pertama kali membaca tulisan "Tutup Pintu" dari kak @gizantara , saya langsung jatuh cinta dan merasa terdorong untuk menyuarakannya melalui podcast. Terima kasih telah mengizinkan untuk menyuarakannya yaa, kak.

Selamat mendengarkan! Happy Islamic New Year everyone, may this Islamic New Year bring you endless blessings, and may Allah’s love and mercy be ever-present in your life. Aamiin!

My INFJ

Untukku yang masih banyak malu kalau mau post yang arah-arahnya merah jambu di kanal sosial media lainnya, tumblr jadi salah satu tempat pelampiasan yang tepat. Hehe, terimakasih telah menjadi ruang amanku, tumblr :)

Malam-malam sembari nyicil berkas akreditasi klinik, tetiba pengen mencurahkan banyak hal dari lubuk hati.

Barusan, suami ngechat.

"Yang, nanti sabtu aku visite ya.."

"Oiya gpp, nanti dania aku bawa rapat."

"Dania nanti aku titipin mba bentar aja ya.."

"Ooh kamu berangkat visitenya mau abis subuh ya soalnya.."

"Soalnya jumat malam kan kamu dines ya"

"Iyaa"

"Plan B nya gpp dibawa rapat. Soalnya kamu abis malem, yang."

"Iyasih XD"

Nggak sekali ini aja, suami lebih holistik dalam merencanakan daripada aku. Aku malah seringkali lupa, kalau mau melaksanakan agenda berat berturut-turut. Atau lupa sama kebutuhan sendiri. Suami yang inget.

Inget banget momen-momen mau lahiran.

"Aku tuh pengennya ya Yang, kalo bisa seminggu pertama abis lahiran tuh udah nggak usah ada tamu." Kata Paksu.

"Yaa gpp sih ada tamu. Yang penting kan kitanya udah sefrekuensi."

"Tapii kadang mulut orang ngga bisa dikontrol. Ada aja komentarnya. Belum tentu lahiran nanti kondisinya ideal kan. Nggak tau lahirannya bisa pervaginam atau engga. ASI nya lancar atau engga."

"Iyasih..."

"Melahirkan udah berat buat ibu, Yang. Apalagi kalo harus dengerin macem-macem."

Pada akhirnya sih kami tetap terima tamu ya, wkwk. Qadarullah segalanya lancar dan hampir nggak ada omongan nyinyir. Cuman yaa banyak saran-saran aja gitu buat ibu dan bayinya wkwk. Tapi kalau inget suami pernah ngomong gitu berasa, makasih ya :")

Dan sekarang adalah momen menjelang Dania MPASI. Kira-kira begini isi percakapan kami.

"MPASI tuh.. berat ya. Aku pernah lihat di tiktok anaknya ngelepeh makanan sejak hari pertama." Paksu said.

"Iya, apalagi sampai umur 2 tahun. Ada aja cobaannya pasti." Aku menimpali.

"Aku lihat tuh ya.. ibu-ibu tuh fokusnya ke, apa masakanku kurang enak ya.. bukan fokus ke apakah cara masaknya udah bener, teksturnya sesuai." Paksu said lagi.

"Iya.. banyak overthinkingnya ibu-ibu tuh. Makanya aku banyak cari referensi, tentang feeding rules juga. Supaya lebih banyak tau jadi lebih..."

"Lebih strict?"

"Engga. Justru aku berharapnya lebih banyak tau tuh jadi lebih fleksibel. Kalo anaknya gamau A, oh solusinya boleh B. Gamau C, oke solusinya D. Selama ga menentang prinsip utama."

"Iya Yang, kita perlu banyak belajar. Pasti sedih kan, kamu yang masak. Kalo Dania sampai gamau pasti kamu juga kepikiran."

Kira-kira dari percakapan-percakapan kami bisa kebaca kan ya, siapa yang lebih overthinking? Wkwkwk.

Sejak kami serius untuk menikah, kami sering membicarakan hal-hal terkait kepribadian kami. Suami memang mengakui, dirinya sangat bisa overthinking dalam banyak hal. Juga selalu ingin perfeksionis dalam hal apa pun. Dulu, kupikir aku harus sangat menyesuaikan diri dengan semua ini. Di saat apa pun kubawa santai :") Tapi rupanya, perfeksionisme yang suami anut, tidak irritable menurutku. Justru sangat mempermudah segalanya.

Aku, si INFP bersuamikan INFJ. Sangaaat helpful dan fit me completely.

Kalau sebelum menikah, mungkin mendengarkan apa yang dibicarakan Paksu akan terdengar so sweeet. Tapi sekarang, mendengarnya tuh serasa ada embun menetes di hati.

Adem.

Sampai kadang aku cireumbay sendiri haha.

Kadang bingung, kebaikan apa yang pernah kuperbuat sampai Allah karuniai suami sebaik ini? Meski aku dan dia teman SMA, aku nggak pernah menyangka dia se-pengertian itu.

Makasih yaa, sudah menjadi sekeping puzzle yang melengkapi cerita hidupku. Aku nggak tau ke depannya akan bagaimana. Tapi, semoga Allah selalu memberkahi keluarga kecil kita.

Dan semoga kebersamaan kita bermuara di surga-Nya.
