I only read for under 20 minutes because I borrowed the book from a friend. In those few minutes, I fell in love with the book and decided to read it.
The first part is related to moms. You know there's a quote: "Don't talk back to your mother; she is the one who taught you how to talk." Reading the first chapter reminded me of that. We often think we are smarter and more modern than our parents, sometimes degrading them.
Selama ibunya pakai celemek, apa yang ada di dalam otaknya cetek
That’s one of the sentences in the book that hit me hard. You think you are better than your mom, but the only reason you can be better is because of your parents. They are one of the reasons. They try their best for you, their child.
Just as you want to be accepted with all your strengths and weaknesses, your mom needs that acceptance too. She needs to be accepted by the people around her. Most importantly, she wants and needs to be accepted by you, her child. She wants to hear that you are grateful to be born, raised, and loved by her. That she is the best mom you ever had. Have you ever told her that?
Another story I love from this book is about a driver and his boss.
Tak kunjung meledak tapi terus berputar dan bercabang, Ihsan merasa lumpuh
The dedication a driver can have for his boss is incredible. No matter how close you are to someone, you never know exactly what's going on in their mind. Their life might look perfect, they might have everything, and not need to worry about the future, yet they feel so hopeless that they decide to give up.
But love can go beyond that. You can love your leader as a leader, you can love your boss as a boss. The love that comes from kindness, trust, and dedication. The quick decisions made out of pure love for someone who hired you, even if it takes away some of your sanity you still do your part.
