Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday to Me - 80

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

Syifa just fell silent she sat next to the woman with her feelings of wanting to cry. Honestly, he was tired of facing everything.

"Say! Tell me what has made you sad?" ask the blind old lady.

He moved his fingers trying to reach Syifa's wrist and upon seeing it made Syifa quickly move her hand.

He grabbed the blind old woman's wrist and made her quickly touch Syifa's hand.

"It seems like your weight is getting lower," said the blind old woman, making Syifa laugh.

He laughed, but his heart didn't. I think she wants to cry.

"No need to be sad! Everyone has their own life problems. Don't get too late in the problems you're facing right now! Face everything so well."

"If you deal with it well then all the problems you will face will also work well. All problems will be solved without the need for you to be sad and exaggerate what is given by God."

"All that God has given you has been rooted and God will not give you problems if you can not face everything."

"But Syifa is tired. Syifa is very tired."

"What's tired, son? If you want to say something to Grandma then talk Grandma will hear it Grandma will hear what you will say."

"It would be a good listener Grandma wouldn't even tell this to the people she met."

"Only Grandma knew. Grandma will not divulge it, right," she said gently making Syifa laugh even though her tears had hung in the corner of her eyes.

He resuscitated his head on his shoulder while the old Grandma let. The blind old woman immediately stroked her hair gently as if this blind old woman was a figure of a woman who was not very affectionate yet.

I don't know why he felt he had a good approach.

"The good guy. A good girl. A great girl like you would be a figure that would truly be loved by the crowd."

"But no one wanted a syifa" Syifa said.

"Who? Wh why? Who doesn't love you?"

"Everyone."

The old woman smiled.

"Those who have good qualities will be met with good people."

"Syifa wanted to tell people something but Syifa wanted this not to tell people."

"of course. Grandma can keep the promise that Grandma while leaking everything then Syifa does not need to bring Grandma bread with pineapple jam as usual but Grandma promises, Grandma will not bring it all."

Hearing the explanation from the blind old woman made Syifa laugh a little.

"Syifa is sick."

"What pain?"

"It hurts so bad."

"Great?"

"Syifa does not want to live anymore. Syifa was ashamed if everyone saw Syifa and would laugh at Syifa."

"Syifa does not want to laugh it is very painful to be laughed at by the crowd even more so there are some people who do not like Syifa and do not like Syifa."

"Syifa was so embarrassed by this bald head, Syifa was embarrassed," she explained, then returned to tears.

He sobs. Her tears fell down her cheeks..he rubbed with his hand trying to remove the trace of sadness on his face but the cheek was wet again when it was pierced by tears that flowed endlessly trying to hold but not very difficult to do.

"Is it just baldness that makes you sad and ashamed?" the blind old woman asked, leaving Syifa silent for quite a while.

He did not answer until he finally replied, "Yes Nek. The baldness made Syifa ashamed until Syifa did not want to see Syifa."

"Son, listen! Not that Grandma is patronizing or lecturing you but is there nothing more painful than vision loss," the woman's speech made Syifa immediately glanced at the old woman who was now her eyes were not staring indeterminate direction.

"Let Grandma tell you. Grandma wants to tell you some little things you have to hear and you have to understand so you know the meaning of the word gratitude."

"You know why Grandma was blind like this?Why?"

Syifa did not answer. He remained silent until the blind old woman spoke again."

"Here Grandma was not blind. My grandmother was a woman who could see everything. This Syifa can see the color of the leaves, the color of the sky, the color of the houses, the rainbow, the clouds and everything."

"It was very happy, but the beautiful things didn't last long until God took both eyes away."

"Why was it an accident so you could go blind?"

"No."

"Then?"

"Causes of blindness can be from various conditions, but often caused by diseases of the eye or disorders of health in general. When one part of the eye is damaged, either due to illness or injury, blindness can occur."

"Here Grandma was so sick that she finally did not know why this view slowly became dark and blurry and could not see anymore. Grandma just saw the darkness it felt like the sun was keeping the light away so Grandma couldn't see anything."

"Grandmother wants to go back to seeing things that are so very beautiful but God seems to be blocking this from doing it. How else would God have taken it."

"God created it, and for what it must be sad. God only takes what he's right is his."

"At first Grandma also felt very upset by the test given by God but must how else crying was not an answer that only left a wound."

"If it is always charged to yourself to learn to make love, you only lose hair, not lose vision. Granny who lost an eye can still smile happily and what about you who just lost hair."

"You must be excited! Don't just give up! There are many people who determine happiness there."

"Never give up the spirit if people can not make you happy then you must be a person who can make people happy because until whenever people who always make people happy will be sought until he's dead though."

Silent, silent and silent. The sound of the vehicle became a rhythm in the explanation as well as the speech uttered by the blind old woman. He can only be silent.

Syifa was silent not knowing what to say. This time what the blind old woman who could no longer see said was true if only losing her hair was not her life.

He just lost his hair not his world. He just lost his hair, not his happiness.

Hair, only God allows it to grow then why should he grieve if God only takes it temporarily.
