Cukupkah hanya cinta?

Bahagiakah pasangan yg menikah hanya krn cinta?

Barangkali kisah ini bisa menjadi renungan bagi kita, utamanya yang ingin berumah tangga :

Alkisah, seorang pemuda miskin bernama Yogi Prasetyo, berasal dari Purwokerto, Jawa Tengah. Keluarganya hanyalah keluarga sederhana, kalau tidak bisa disebut miskin. Ayahnya sehari-hari bekerja sebagai tukang jahit di desanya.

Karena kegigihannya, Yogi berhasil kuliah di FE UGM walaupun dengan biaya seadanya. Semasa semester 4 di kampus, Yogi jatuh hati pada seorang gadis bernama Ayu Wulaningrum, juga sama-sama kuliah di fakultas yang sama.

Ayu adalah putri seorang bupati ternama di daerah Yogyakarta dan juga masih keturunan keraton. Walaupun secara ekonomi mereka jauh berbeda, namun tidak menghalangi keduanya untuk saling mencintai.

Ayah Ayu yang mengetahui putrinya begitu mencintai pemuda dari keturunan biasa, tak mampu mencegah gelora cinta putrinya. Maka begitu keduanya telah lulus, pernikahan keduanyapun diselenggarakan dengan megah. Pesta besar-besaran digelar untuk mengiringi pernikahan putrinya.

Ayah Yogi yang tak punya banyak harta, hanya bisa memberikan bantuan sumbangan pakaian, sprei, sarung bantal, yang semuanya ia buat dan ia jahit sendiri khusus untuk pernikahan putranya.

Bahagiakah Ayu bersanding dengan Yogi ? Ternyata kebahagiaan mereka tidak berlangsung lama.

Tibalah saatnya malam pengantin tiba. Mereka berduapun memasuki peraduan dengan bahagia. Namun, ketika Yogi membuka pakaiannya dan tinggal memakai celana kolor, berteriaklah Ayu dengan keras, sebelum akhirnya pingsan tak sadarkan diri. Semua penghuni rumah dari kerabat dan keluarga Ayu pun berdatangan melihat kejadian itu.

Yogi masih dalam kebingungan dan mencari tahu kenapa istrinya histeris dan pingsan. Dilihatnya celana kolor yang ia pakai. Aduh, Yogi lupa kalau celana kolor itu jahitan ayahnya, dibuat dari kain bekas wadah tepung terigu. Di tengah celana kolor itu masih terpampang jelas tulisan, "BERAT BERSIH 25 KG".

Tentu saja Ayu langsung pingsan melihatnya. Ayu tidak bisa membayangkan seberapa besar isinya dengan berat segitu.

wekekke *nia iseng*

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her.  But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
