Suara kesenangan
"Bukan karena ketampanan kita, Bukan karena harta kita, bukan karna tingginya pangkat kita. Tetapi, tatakrama, sopan santun, tinggi adabnya, ulet cara berpikirnya, dan tak pernah terlupa lima waktunya untuk bekal saat menghadap kepada tuhan yang maha kuasa."
Ingat nasehat bapak, saat waktu asar bercengkrama. Menghadap ke utara, menyilangkan kaki, tepatnya bersilah. Kesukaannya kopi, camilannya pisang goreng.
"Sabar itu nak bukan diam, tak berkata tetapi bergemuruh direlung hati. Sabar sebenarnya tak ada penghalang, seperti mendapat pinjaman disaat engkau tak memiliki uang, gemmbira." bapak meneruskan wejangannya. Pikiran mudaku tak terima "Bukan sabar itu pak, tetapi bodoh." kataku dalam hati.
Pisang goreng disantap sedikit demi sedikit, agar gigi yang sudah rapuh tidak semakin terkikis.
Benar kata bapak, bila di telisik sedikit demi sedikit.
Benar kata bapak, bukanlah bodoh seperti pikir mudaku. Sabar bukanlah sesumbar, bukan menghilang dan pulang. Sabar adalah tetap riang disaat relung hati terbakar.

Pleasure sound
"Not caused by nice-looking, our wealth, even our high level. However, etiquette, also exactly high manners, tenacious way of thinking, and always pray five times a day which is one of the pillars of Islam equipped for encounter God almighty." Remember that father's advice, during Asar time we talked. Confront north, legs crossed, cross-legged. His favorite is coffee and a bag of fried bananas.
"Patience is not silent, son. No speak at all but rumbles in heart. Patience actually has no barriers, like getting a loan when you don't have money, keep happy" father continued his discourse. Young mind still doesn't accept "It's not impatient, sir, but stupid." I said to myself. Fried bananas were eaten little by little, so that the already brittle teeth are not further eroded.
What father said is right that as not as stupid as my youth thought.
Patience is not boasting, not disappearing and going home. Patience is staying carefree while the heart is burning
