My Granted Wishes No. 1
“To go to school and finish until College.”
But
the road was not easy that time; I took the course which is none of my option.
But my father constantly insisted coz he believed it suited me so I give it a
try to at least make him proud. I Entered University year 1997, my first day
there was like I’m in 4th year high school... nothing makes
different until my year level up and encountered difficulties in some major
unit. I’ve got 10 real friends in the
University. They are individually amazing as well as good influencers actually.
They are academically active, adventurous, open-minded and God-fearing person
so I started to like my course and the University because of them.
Truly
that College life is one of the most memorable chapters in our life, because
this is the moment that you grow and develop physically, mentally, spiritually,
socially and emotionally. My friends and I had a weirdest motto ever and let me
share it with you... they say that “Friends is the reason that can destroy your
study” but for us “It is the Study that can mess up our friendship” lols. When
talked about it, we just only laughed. Indeed that because of the study some of
us are fights but thanks it ended smoothly and everything goes back to normal...
that what’s friends are for.
I
know God tested me many times. I was then timid, not vocative or expressive
person and when I get hurt, insult or bullied, I only just cried, write, or run
away and let it pass. I also experienced how to smoke cigarettes and drink
alcohol due to depression, failure and disappointment. It was because of a
friend, but because I love my friend and she asked for forgiveness, I embraced
her unconditionally and forget the pain. So we decided to retake the unit and
started to help one another. Plus I quit smoking and drinking alcohol. And I discovered my hidden capabilities.
Thanks to them.
Oh,
I didn’t have the chance to have a love life or sex life during college days, I
was boyish that time and finding male Idol who is good looking and brilliant in
mathematics was my interest. Lols.
Finally, we
graduated year 2002. So I achieved my very first wish hahaha.
My Granted Wishes No. 2
“To have a great Job”
Automatically,
the first thing that you should do after school is to find a job that matches
your interest. I have diploma and the guts to face the outside world called
“Reality”. My first experienced as job
hunter was so traumatic. Though I have
background on how to act and response during the job interview, that very first
day I failed. Why? Simply was because I
am amazed by his look. He’s so adorable, He’s so cute, plus he has a perfect
body built. And when he smiled and looked at me, I feel that my mini-skirt is slowly
moving down. And when I started to speak I choked, and when he shook my hands I
trembled. And my heart beat so fast. How can I help to managed that? That’s the
very first time I felt the electric charge moving upward to my neck! I tried to
calm myself and finally the word comes to my mouth... “Good day Sir... I just
want to back out... I need to go home now... Thank you!” after that, I caught
him in a quizzical look then smiled. He said, “Alright, hahaha I understand...
next time you have to be brave okay. Better luck next time. Take care!”
Hehehehe, but it was just okay. It just an experience after all and I treasured
it a lot. I tried to recall his name but can’t remember even the first letter.
I may say that I
achieved again my 2nd Wish, and that is to have a great job here in
our town and be part of the Government Institution. Luckily, I’m in 7 years of
public service.
My Granted Wishes No. 3
“To marry a man who knows household chores.”
My
former boss asked me about my age, why I’m still single and what qualities of a
guy that I’m looking for? So I replied unconsciously, He must be kind, does not
smoke cigarette or drink alcohol and most of all; I like a guy who knows
household chores. He laughed and some of
my officemate laughed too. They said, “Egie! You’re looking for a housemaid,
not husband.” So I explained my side, “what
if I’m too busy, got pregnant or sick? Who will do my task? Who will look after
me? So he must also know household chores. I’m not looking for a rich guy who
knows nothing when it comes to home.”
Then
months later, I got married! I married a man who is kind, don’t smoke or drink
alcohol and most importantly knows household chores. I never realized that it
was the stupid wish I’ve ever had. I forgot to wish that this guy must be
versatile also... lols, But it just alright, I have no choice but to accept my
fate. At least that wishes was granted for a reason. And I know its God’s will.
My Granted Wishes No. 4
“To have my own house and lot”
I wish to have my own house and lot. That
was only begun when I got pregnant. I started to think about my baby’s future
not mine. I wanted to provide and left something for him in the future. Good
things that I wasn’t able to spend money to buy house and lot coz I inherited
one from my father. The only thing that he wished for is to maintain it and
taking care of it, and to look after his youngest brother who is epileptic.
That’s fine with me. But still, there’s something inside of me that I really
want to do, one that I can consider mine of which aspiration, money and time
involved. So I get one which is payable for 2 years hehehe.... now I know the
feelings and I achieved again my wish.
***
That’s
all for now, my desire in life is so simple and plain ever. I’m more into eternal happiness and contentment
as much as possible. But struggling between material world and your desire is
not so easy to achieve. There’s a lot of hindrance that can stop you to dream
and to wish like that. Thanks that I have deep faith with God and I trust his
will.
