Dunia LHuRi, Dunianya Anak Sehat

My mother is a supermom.

I think she’s a kind of magician. Orang sakti. Female version of David Copperfield. She’s great. I call her Bu Gendut. Bu Gendut the Great.

Great people somehow like to do weird crazy things.

So I ever thought that Bu Gendut was crazy too.

I’m gonna tell you why.

Waktu gue kecil (maksudnya LEBIH kecil dari sekarang, jadi tolong hentikan tawa sarkastiknya), gue adalah satu dari Top Ten Weirdest Creepiest Ugliest Babies in the world. Bermuka aneh, berrambut jarang, punya senyum janggal, dan bisa bikin perasaan nggak enak. Udah gitu penyakitan, bandel, pecicilan, dan konon susah banget dilahirin.

Tapi anehnya Bu Gendut nggak berniat membuang gue atau minimal tuker tambah sama bebek peking. Jadi gue sempat berpikir, ada kemungkinan emak gue waktu itu gila.

Coba ya, waktu pertama kali lihat foto gue sendiri waktu kecil aja gue membatin, “MasyaAllah, makhluk apa ini?? Kalo gue punya anak kayak gini, pasti udah gue udah bikin perjanjian sama keluarga Jin Tomang untuk menukar anak gue dengan anak mereka yang lebih layak pandang.”

(hahaha, nggak separah itu deh, seperti biasa gue ngawur ;p)

Menurut hipotesis gue, alasan kenapa gue tetap dipelihara adalah karena saat itu Mbak Ludi sedang ingin punya piaraan, dan dia lebih suka orangutan ketimbang bebek peking.

Ternyata hipotesis itu salah. Bu Gendut was completely sane at that time. Bu Gendut memang bertekad membesarkan gue karena menurutnya, saat itu gue adalah bayi yang sangat cantik dan oke punya. (FYI, baru-baru ini aja Bu Gendut beres-beres foto jadul dan mengakui dia dulu tidak sadar bahwa wujud gue layak disebut ‘the twin sistah of E.T’. Yeah right. She was blinded by motherly love).

Gue dibesarkan dengan penuh kasih sayang super tulus yang nggak pernah minta uang kembalian. Apalagi kalo receh.

So Bu Gendut is a good mother. She never mengutuks all her durhaka kids into crying stones, like what Malin’s mad mother did in Minang land.

Bu Gendut hardly ever gets any present from us on her birthday or Mother’s day. And she never asks for it you know. She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t demand.

Bu Gendut is smart. She loves to teach us pelajaran-pelajaran untuk pekan ulangan umum except PPKn because she thinks it’s all about rubbish. The pasal-pasal, the undang-undang, and all that peraturan Negara instead of good moral. Yes, crap.

Bu Gendut wakes me up early in the morning on my exam’s day. Even when she has just slept at 1 am, she sets the alarm at 4 so she can call me in kos-kosan just to make sure whether I have woken up and study or not.

Bu Gendut never complains about how weird her children are. She always likes our stupid jokes.

Bu Gendut doesn’t have enough sleep when her children are sick.

Bu Gendut is a very good wife (tentu saja bapak gue adalah good husband too). It’ll take too many words to explain why

Bu Gendut is super bawel. Especially when it comes to her idealism. It breaks her heart to know I cheat during the exam. She never allows Pak Sugeng to specially pick me up with mobil kantor kalo nggak ada urusan bokap di yang searah sama daerah-daerah kampus. She’s a kind of emak-emak bawel who holds high the value of trust and honesty

Bu Gendut never bergosips with tetangga about her family. She hardly ever talks about private stories among us to anybody else except to her kids. We’re the only people whom she talks to. That’s why it upsets her when we’re all busy with our stuff and no one of us is available to listen to her curhats. Maaf yah bu..

Bu Gendut is cool because she always be one of the top scorers in Feeding Frenzy, Dynomite, Zuma, and many other GameHouse’s products.

Bu Gendut loves the term “Bu Gendut” I gave to her. Very much. Yeah that’s weird.

Bu Gendut is great because she can do magic. She can turn a baby orangutan into an angel. (Alright, not exactly an angel. But also anak setan, bocah tengil, and female version of Malin Kundang who likes to menyampah in Friendster blog)

What makes Bu Gendut even greater is that because she loves me for what I am.

There will always be too many celebrations, important dates, and good days in December. And I never have a present for you like the years before, have I?  Actually I was going to post this on December 22. But it hadn’t been finished yet anyway. So I guess I should apologize for being late.

Aku tau lho ibu suka kurang kerjaan baca blog-blog di frenster, hehehee..

Jadi, selamat hari bu gendut, Bu..

Sayang banget sama Bu Gendut

[P.S. People, nanya dong..Am I the only kid who never gives present to her mother on Mother’s day? Bagaimana dengan yey? What do you guys do on that day? Hopefully you’re all being better daughters and sons than I am. Well, aren’t you? Hehe..]

[P.S.2. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year folks!]
