“Your own feeling tells you that you were not what you are. I am. That which promised happiness when we were one in heart, is fraught with misery now that we are two. How often and how keenly I have thought of this, I will not say. It is enough that I have thought of it, and can relase you.”

“Have I ever sought release?”

“In words. No. Never.”

“In what, then?”

“In a changed nature; in an altered spirit; in another atmosphere of life; another hope as its great end. In everything that made my love of any worth or value in your sight. If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now? Ah, no!”

“You think not.”

“I would gladly think otherwise if I could. Heaven knows. When I have learned a truth like this. I know how strong and irresestible it must be. But if you were free today, tomorrow, yesterday, can I believe that you would choose a dowerless girl— you who, in your very confidence with her, weigh everything by gain; or, choosing her, if for a moment you were false enough to your guiding principle to do so, do I not know that your repentance and regret would surely follow? I do; and I release you. With a full heart, for the love of him you once were.”

Ibu adalah Pembohong yg Baik…

Seorang ibu dlm hidupnya banyak membuat kebohongan:

1. Saat makan, jika makanan kurang, ia akan memberikan makanan itu kpd anaknya dan berkata, “Cepatlah makan, Ibu tdk lapar.”
2. Saat makan, ia selalu menyisihkan ikan dan daging untuk anaknya dan berkata, “Ibu tdk suka daging, makanlah, Nak..”
3. Tengah mlm saat sdg menjaga anaknya yg sakit, ia berkata, “Istirahatlah Nak, Ibu msh blm ngantuk..”
4. Saat anak sudah tamat sekolah, bekerja, mengirimkan uang untuk ibu. ia berkata, “Simpanlah untuk keperluanmu Nak, Ibu masih punya uang.”
5. Saat anak sdh sukses, menjemput ibunya utk tinggal di rumah besar, ia akan berkata, “Rumah tua kita sangat nyaman, Ibu tidak terbiasa tinggal di rmh besar..”

Saat menjelang tua, ibu sakit keras, anaknya akan menangis, ttp ibu msh bs tersenyum sambil berkata, “Jangan menangis, Ibu tidak apa apa.” Ini adalah kebohongan terakhir yg dibuat ibu.

Tidak peduli seberapa kaya kita, seberapa dewasanya kita, IBU selalu menganggap kita sbg anak kecilnya, mengkhawatirkan diri kita, tp tdk prnh membiarkan kita mengkhawatirkan dirinya.

Smoga smua anak di dunia ini bs menghargai setiap kebohongan seorang ibu….karena beliaulah malaikat nyata yg dikirim TUHAN untuk menjaga kita.
