I Never Walk Alone

I rarely make a story. but, just enjoy!

***

Sophie Smith. Itulah nama yang diberikan oleh ibu angkatku. Seseorang yang memberikanku nafas kehidupan. Pasti engkau bertana-tanya mengapa bukan ibuku yang asli yang menamakanku.

Aku lahir di tengah keluarga yang sangat berantakan. Sebenarnya, bukan keluarga. Tetapi sebuah kesalahan. Aku tidak punya ayah. Aku dilahirkan oleh ibu yang berumur 19 tahun dan belum menikah. Lalu aku dibuang begitu saja. Ibu kandungku memberikan aku kepada tetangganya dan dibesarkan dengan penuh kebencian. Aku selalu dimaki-maki saat membuat kesalahan, aku disamakan seperti anjing yang ia pelihara. Saat aku berumur 13 tahun, aku berusaha untuk pergi dari rumah itu. Dan akhirnya, aku memulai hidupku yang baru dibawah jembatan di New York. Setiap hari aku hanya mendapat uamg dari uluran tangan orang yang berbelas kasihan untuk mencukupi kebutuhan perutku. Terkadang, aku melihat anak-anak sebaya denganku sedang berjalan-jalan dengan orang tua mereka. Dan mereka membuatku iri karena mereka mendapatkan kasih sayang. sedangkan aku? Orang tuaku yang mana saja aku tidak pernah tahu. Aku merasa bahwa tidak ada orang yang menginginkan aku ada di dunia ini. Rasanya ingin mati saja. 

Pada suatu hari, ada perempuan yang kira-kira berumur 40 tahun lewat di bawah jembatan dimana aku tinggal. Ia sangat cantik. Topi yang berwarna cream melindungi sebagian rambut coklat yang menjuntai sampai ke punggung. Ia terlihat sangat ramah dengan jaket kulit yang membungkus badannya. Dengan nada bicara yang lembut, ia berkata kepadaku, "kamu sedang apa disini,nak?" Dengan suara yang amat pelan, aku menjawab, "saya sedang mencari uang, bu." lalu ia membalas, "dimana orang tuamu?" aku terdiam sejenak dan berkata setengah menangis "saya tidak tahu siapa orang tua saya." Perempuan itu setengah kaget lalu tersenyum dan berkata " kalau begitu, ayo ikut aku sini." tanpa berpikir panjang, aku langsung ikut perempuan itu ke rumahnya. Sesampainya dirumah perempuan itu, aku sangat terkesima melihat rumahnya yang sangat megah dan besar. Lalu, ia mengajakku untuk masuk ke dalam rumahnya. Aku makin terkesima melihat apa yang ada di dalam rumahnya. seperti istana! kemudian perempuan itu menyuruhku duduk di sofa yang sangat empuk dan menyuduhkan secangkir teh hangat dan cookies. Ia mengajakku untuk berbicara. Ia berkata, "Panggil saja aku bibi anne, oh ya, siapa namamu nak?" aku berpikir, ah? nama? "aku...aku tidak...aku tidak punya nama, bibi anne" ia sangat terkejut dengan jawabanku itu. Kemudian ia diam dan kulihat sepertinya ia sedang berpikir keras. Tak lama setelah itu, ia mulai membuka mulutnya, "mulai sekarang, kamu kuberi nama Sophie. Sophie Smith. Sophie artinya lemah lembut. Smith diambil dari namaku, Anne Smith" "Sophie Smith, nama yang bagus bibi anne! aku suka nama itu" sekarang namaku sophie. aku sangat senang karena aku telah mempunyai bagia yang sangat penting dari identitas seseorang. Bibi anne tersenyum hangat dan menatapku. Ia mulai berkata lagi, "mulai sekarang, kamu tinggal di rumah ini, kamu mau kan?" aku mengangguk menandakan "aku mau." ia tersenyum lagi. Disinilah aku memulai kehidupanku sebagai seorang Sophie Smith, anak angkat dari Anne Smith. Aku diajari banyak hal olehnya. Mulai dari pelajaran sekolah sampai etika. Aku juga diingatkan untuk banyak membaca literatur supaya dapat menambah wawasanku dalam berpikir. Hari berganti, bulan berganti, tahun berganti. Tak terasa sudah 5 tahun aku bersama dengan bibi Anne, seorang yang cerdas dan juga murah hati. Sejak itu, aku baru menyadari, hidupku ini sangat berharga, dan aku harus banyak berterima kasih kepada bibi Anne, yang menjadi pelita dalam kegelapan dan nafas kehidupan. Oh ya, sekarang aku telah menjadi salah seorang penulis novel di New York City. I Never Walk Alone

a precious thing called Friendship

what do you think about friendship? is friendship worth as a diamond?or gold?or maybe nothing is as precious as friendship? how about making friends? maybe it's really easy as pie.. don't you ever think if you don't have any friends at all?

this is just a little note about friendship:

Friendship is something that grows through the years withstanding feelings of anger, joy and tears. It is something you cannot live without

A friend you can turn to when in doubt and listen to you fully without speak a word. For you would do the same when they want to be heard.
A person you can confide in, learn from and trust

This is a friend and everyone must be able to have someone just like this.
Not a boyfriend to hug, cuddle and kiss
Not a person so special, faithful and true.

Friendship is strong, healthy and great. Through years with wonderful fate, a fate of laughs greatness and fun.

We have only one life to live and this.
The past -- full of memories that runs through your head. The bad ones never talked about or said.
every moment of life should glisten with fresh morning dew
This will reminds you of the greatest friendship one ever knew

" there's nothing better than having someone you can share your stories, dreams, laughs and wishes with. There's nothing better than having someone gives you shoulder that makes the perfect tissue when you cry :) "

Sincerely,

Chikitamanda

A-Tips

Poor me. I had pimples a few days ago. really. i'm really sick of it. and the evening I tried some simple tricks (and simple stuffs too) to get rid of them. and it works! yeaah!
so i'm gonna share to you the methods..

what you need :

• facial cotton 
• Hot water (well, not too hot)
• acne medicine (I use Nutrimoist-a CNI product)
• alcohol
• facial soap
• small bowl

Steps :

1. wash your face, especially on the pimple(s) with facial soap
2. put the hot water in the small bowl
3. take 1 facial cotton and wipe your hands with alcohol
4. take another facial cotton then put in the hot water
5. take the facial cotton and put it on the pimples. do it again and again (it itches a bit)
6. you will see the pus will start to come out.
7. slowly, rub the hot cotton from top to bottom of the pimple
8. if it doesn't turns out, really slowly use your hand to make it comes out (make sure your hands are really clean)
9. then, put the hot cotton on the pimples,so the all the bacteria are die
10. Finally, put the acne medicine to the pimple

P.S : you may change the water if it become cold  

That's all of the beauty tips ;) hope pimples won't make your day suck (and hope my tips work) :D
