SUPERDAD

Is there any opinion about your dad?

I believe every one of you must have had different appreciation about him. I do so…

Ump… but I have no appropriate words to show what a great dad in a great family he is. I just wanna tell about him as can as possible.

Maybe, like most of other dads, he is more silent than talk too much.

Agree???

He always gives me susu kedelei in the morning. He is the one who always notice me to use anti-mosquitoes’ lotion when I will go to school, and always sends me those lotion beside my pocket money since I’ve been staying at boarding house. Then, when I was in Senior High School, he always give me some fresh milks (susu segar…sometimes SMJ or STMJ…hehehee…as well as some sate keong, my favorite :D).

Nevertheless, in fact, he definitely did more than that, right?

Well…now, how about superdad???

Is it like a Superman? Or the other superheroes, who wear some unique costumes, have special power or special marks on their bodies, and are loved by the citizen in the place they live…???

Ump…

I don’t think so…but, he has some characteristics that nearly similar with the characteristics above. That is why I call him ‘SUPERDAD’, certainly, because he has something caused me consider him ‘SUPER’.

First, wearing some unique costumes, my superdad doesn’t wear those costumes, he wear the ordinary one, batik with various motif frequently. Maybe, some next time, there will be a Superman or superhero wearing batik…hehee…and my superdad included in its criterion…hehee…

Then, having special power…

Yes…absolutely he has. But, his power is also absolutely different. He can’t fly and hasn’t X-ray like superman, but he always tries to bring his family reaching the paradise, flying high to get there…and his wisdom is more powerful than the X-ray.

He can’t jump from a building to the other one like Spiderman, however his words make my soul jumping gak beraturan, sometimes it can be as high as the sky, but sometimes also can fall down so deep. Beliau gak bisa nempel di dinding kayak spiderman juga, but…his advices awfully nempel bangetz inside my mind. One of those advices is he’s ever said like this (original version with some modification)…

“Nduk, kowe kie sak iki sekolah neng jogja…tambah adoh ko wong tuwa.mu…maka.ne sak iki kowe kudu pinter2 ngurus lan njogo awak.mu…

Bapak ae isoh koq ngurus.i cah songo, sepuluh karo ibuk.mu…ngopo kowe ngurus awak.mu dhewe ura isoh???”

Yupz…that is one of his advices I remember most.

…

…

…

…

…

And then, being loved by the people in the place they live.

Es, of course he is loved by them. He lives in the place called our homey home, rumahku surgaku exactly. And the people who live over there are us, a wife and nine children…

What a big family we are!

Superdad in a superfamily……

Hehehee…

However, we must be known that ‘tak ad gading yang tak retak’, right?

As well as, my superdad as a main character in this story, he is a round character (Round character is a dynamic character who has multidimensional personalities. It is possible if he has more than two traits, not only black and white. This character is unpredictable because it has possibility that the character in the beginning of the story can be different with the character in the middle part and or in the end of story). So, refer to the statement ‘tak ada gading yang tak retak’, although he is a main character, round character who has multidimentional personalities, he must be had some weaknesses, because weakness is natural indeed and it is necessary. But, for many reasons, I won’t describe it in this story… ;)

We love him, whoever he is, whatever his strengths and weaknesses. Weakness is natural. Weakness is manusiawi.

Well…

Then, he is my daddy. First time I know him is when the first time I realized that I was able to remember. It is a really long time ago… J

Something that he doesn’t forget to do everyday is ‘DZIKIR’. I do like this…

Sometimes, he does it together with praying (berdoa-red). His dzikir is heard-able; I mean when he’s doing dzikir, his voice is loud enough to be heard. So, unconsciously, I often hear what he said is when he does it…hehehee…

And something that I often hear most is a pray of us ourselves; us refers to my brothers and sister, and me…his children… (I hope ALLAH bless us, even if his pray is heard by someone he prays :D). Soal.e,syarat terkabul.ny doa jika orang yang didoakan tidak tahu kalau dia didoakan…begituuu… I‘ve ever heard that

When I heard that at the first time, I’ve heard he said something but I forget it…some part I heard most is that he mentioned his children’s names… (I absolutely fond of this…J)

Firstly I heard, “mitha…nur…ipul…ayub…yusuf…ghani…”

---About five years later…----

Some day, in the same way he did his powerful saying, sit on her favorite chair and tell me that he didn’t want to be disturbed, he said…”nduk…pak’e meh dzikir sik…adhi.mu jaga.nen…!” (Original version) then, at few moments soon, I heard, “mitha…nur…ipul…ayub…yusuf…ghani…nasrul…”

Is there something different?? :D

And…

About 2 years after that, when my daddy was doing his dzikir as his habitual activity…I heard the same as before, but there is a little bit different thing, because he said, “mitha…nur…ipul…ayub…yusuf…ghani…nasrul…sandri…”

… 2 years passed away …

Just some times ago… I heard it again…unconsciously again… (Pardon me, daddy…)…and there is something different with the names he mentioned…hehee…

There is an additional name in the last sentence…because he has one more children named Rofi Zainy…his last child I think…hehee…

So…what would happen then???

I suppose you can guess what he would say is…

Yes…he said, “mitha…nur…ipul…ayub…yusuf…ghani…nasrul…sandri…rofi…”

Hehehee…

Ump…he always prays us indeed…yesterday…now…and next time…he is never change… (Except, the names of his children he mentioned, right…hehehee…)

Just wanna say, “What a great daddy he is…”

---For my daddy---

---Thanks for all, and forgive me if I can’t make you ‘happier’ yet…but, I’m sure I will---
