The reason why I can do what ever I want,
The reason why I can break the rule,
The reason why I can bluntly crazy,
The reason why I can be so selfishly be me,
The reason why I can be a spoiled brat, is because,
I have my sister.
Because I have dia, as my sister.
Because I believe that she will cover everything for me.
Because I know she will backed me up no matter what
wrong I have done.
Because I know that she will never able to mad at me for
such a long time.
Because I know that her love for me is just too much.
Because I know that she will forgive me despite of my
rudeness and harsh words.
Because I know that she will stand by me, no matter how far I try to push her,
and because I know, how deep her love for me, and may be greater than any love I have received so far.
Because I am her best girl and no one can replace me, and having that thought, I am secretly jealous with my youngest sister, but no matter what, I believe she love me more than my other siblings. Hhaha.
That is why, I never want to want her place.
I never want to replace that eldest-child position, because it's too much burden for me and frankly speaking, I don't have the ability to bear with that burden and that is why I turn to become second child, hhaha.
Even it means, that mamayah love her more than me - I secretly, seriously do not mind.
Okay, as I have touched this issue, let me tell you more. We (human beings) can never lie about one thing, that is LOVE. Love is not something that you can give fairly, even you try to show its equality. And as I'm growing up, I come to realise this thing and start from that day onward, I never complain about my parent's love towards their children.
Hey, don't mistake me okay. I love my parents very much, and even for every single sacrifices that they made for me, I could never pay them with something equal to that. And no matter how much I love them, it will never surpass their love for me. It just, they love my sister more.
I know my parents and even all parents said that they love all their children equally, no one receive more and no one less. But every parents say that to make sure none of their children feel offended or unneeded, because kids tend to misunderstood. While actually, they need us, and love us and feel very thankful, grateful towards Allah because give us as a gift, but there is always one child that they favor most. Why? it depends on many reasons.
And as for me, I have found the reason.
I still remember, the day my parents read my diary. I've wrote a lot of despicable things which a 9 old kid shouldn't say. I wrote in my diary that I feel like I was an adopted children, because my parents always scold me. They are so fierce with me. And the most saddest part that night is,
I am waiting for my dad who should fetch me after tuition BI at my teacher's place. It has been so late, so I decide to wait at the front of residential area. So I walked from my teacher's house saying that I am fine, because I think it will be more easy for my dad if I waited for him at the roadside. I will jump on the car when they arrived, I waited patiently. When my dad's car stop, I didn't see smile on his face. I feel scared looking at everyone in the car, who mute their voice.
As soon as we arrived at home, my dad talked to me angrily. I was puzzled for a while. And I don't know how, my dad saw my diary and he opened it and he read the part that I wrote "I feel like I've been adopted". He was really angry back then after read that. He asked me, what else that he didn't give me and what else that I want that he didn't fulfill, just what in the world that make me feel like an adopted kids.
At that time, I know that my parents were actually truly hurts with my words and I really hope that my parents could forget it by now. Because, I know what ever happens, they will never traded me for something else. I know that they love me so much and really grateful to have me as their daughter. Even if I am not a mother yet, I can already imagine when my kid tell me that they're not mine. Auch, having a thought about it, already hurt me. My parents scold me for good reason, to shape me into a good person but I always mistook their intentions. Why I was so blind at that time? After that moment, my parents always say something like this when I did wrong "nanti kalau kita tegur/cakap sikit, kata kita tak sayang, habis nak cakap macam mana?". Aww, that break my heart you know. I regretting it more and more these days. They mad at me less. They advice me less. Maybe they think I will rebel. Maybe they scared that I will run out from home. Hey ya, forget to tell, I ever run off from home just because I want to get an ice cream. I wouldn't want to wait for my parents to come back home, so I sneak out from my baby sitter's house and walk to my mom's school, to get an ice-cream. See, how I make a scene? I hope I wont give birth another one of me.
At the end of the day when I starting to realize, it is me, who feel so wrong. Just what have I done, to be blessed with such a goddess parents and siblings? In this world, I don't have any one friend who can accept my weakness like my family did, so when people asked me, who is family to me, my answer is, family is what my family is to me. My brother ever told me once, that he never able to figured out who I really am. He couldn't say that he know me well either, because he say that I am unpredictable. If I am in a good mood, that everything is okay, but when I got mad, I become crazy and sometimes, I could become a monster who say what she feel w/out ever think what others would feel. What kind of torture do I give to my siblings. They think of me as a scary person. Who should I blame when something like this happens?
Okay, back to my story.
Throughout my 20 years of life, I have received a lot of love from my parents and until now, I only give them pains and disappointments. My sister is too good if people want to compare me with her. She study hard for our parents (of course for herself too) and always get a good grade, while I am not a really study person, so my parents couldn't say anything about me. Maybe they scared that I will rebel. So, they never really questioned when I got not-so-good-result, unlike my sisters and brothers. My dad will questioned, why they are not in TOP 5, what a lucky bastard am I, right?
Ha, I remember this one thing that my mom said, which make me feel like I am getting a hard slap right on the face. She said to my youngest sister that if she talked to me, she will never win. Because for her, I am really hard to handle, and I was too cold-hearted. She didn't know what should say to me anymore because to her, what her says will no longer matter to me anymore. And as she growing old, instead of I taking care of her feelings, she in the one who will watch what she says because she doesn't want her children feel offended. Looking at that, people can tell how rude I am, how bad I am, and how ungrateful I am. How sinful I am yet my mom still welcoming me everytime I throw myself into her arms.
I know, that I care less about their feeling. I hurt them. I simply hurt people who love me most. Because of that, seeing my parents who love my sister more, won't hurt me anymore. Sometimes, I really want my dad talk to me like he did with my sister. He always told her his problems and sometimes, he entrust her with big responsibility and both of them always have things to say to each other. I secretly jealous for that, because I have nothing to share with my dad or my dad have nothing to share with me. But, I shouldn't feel that way. I have hurt them too much and I think I deserve it now.
Above all of that, what I want to say is that - I love my parents so much. Too much, and will love them more and more. Looking at them who growing old, I hope that I will die first because living w/out them, I can never imagine. Ayah always like it when I massage his feet. That rough feet that he used to work for giving me a good life, everytime I touch it, there is one unnamed feeling lingering in my heart, which make me feel like I want to cry out loud. While mama, always like it when I play with her hair. Mama character is exactly same with my granny's who just passed away. She never want to trouble people. If she can do it, she will do it by herself, and what can I ask from Allah is to grant both of my parents happiness and a good health. I wished that they will be happy by the happiness that her children gives, and I really hope that me and my sibling could do what will make them feel happy.
And as for me, I will start to work harder, to at least tebus balik all the pains that I give.
Wow, quite long post so far, masa raya haritu, siap buat peace dekat ayah and say "{selamat hari raya ayah, maaf zahir batin tau)" hahha, how well I hid my feeling away, but today, I can't hold in it anymore.
Till here.
