Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Seasons 2 - National Monument
By noon arrived, as Radit had promised earlier that he would take Arsyilla for a walk, it turned out that this time the man drove his car to the National Monument. A place that his wife had coveted a moment ago. Without informing Khaira of his plans, Radit secretly took his wife and son to enjoy the weekend with a walk on the National Monument.
National Monument or often called Monas or Tugu Monas is a memorial monument built as high as 132 meters. This monument was established to commemorate the resistance and struggle of the Indonesian people to seize independence from the Dutch Colonial. This monument is more charming because it is crowned with a flame coated with gold sheets that symbolize the spirit of the burning struggle of all the people of Indonesia. The existence of this Monas became an icon for Jakarta as the Capital of the State of Indonesia, and a flame that continues to flare that confirms that the fighting spirit of the Indonesian people has never been extinguished.
Arsyilla who had visited Monas for the first time seemed so stunned to see the great monument before her, “Pa, this is us where Pa?” ask her by continuing to walk with her Mama and Papa hands on her right and left.
Radit also pointed to a hard building and historical value in front of him, “ini his name is Monas, Syilla. In it there is a musem, Syilla likes to learn right? Later we see the diorama of the struggle of Indonesia in it yes.” Radit explained to his daughter.
Arsyilla nodded, “iya Pa .. yeay, Syilla likes Pa,” the girl screamed a little and then pointed at the top of the monument, “Pa, is it fire or gold Pa?” Arsyilla is indeed a critical boy and easily interested in things around him, so it is not uncommon for many questions asked by this 3-year-old boy.
Hearing Arsyilla's question, Radit and Khaira both smile, although impressed cherry, but they remain grateful because Arsyilla grows optimally. Again, Radit's index finger pointed to the top of the monument that Arsyilla asked, “it's the tongue of fire dear, but it was made with gold coated. Later in the museum, there are photos of the making of this Monas. There is architecture that makes it. The tongue of the fire is coated in gold as a symbol that the Indonesian nation has a fighting spirit that never breaks,” his explanation to Arsyilla.
Upon entering the entrance, Radit immediately took out his wallet and bought three admission tickets. They entered the museum first. Various dioramas of the Indonesian struggle, photos of the construction of Monas, which was architectured by Freidrich Silaban and R.M. Soedarsono, also photos of Monas from time to time. Arsyilla seemed so happy to study at the museum, with explained directly by Mama and her Papa, the girl asked a lot of questions. Sometimes Arsyilla also ran to see something in the museum that caught his attention.
“Pelan-pelan Syilla Darling .. the road slowly yes, if running Mama is not strong Dear.” said Khaira who asked her son to be able to walk slowly. His current condition, which was young pregnant, made him unable to run around here and there to pursue Arsyilla.
Radit then chased after Arsyilla who ran, “Syilla .. walking slowly yuk. In his stomach Mama is having a baby sister, pity Mama if chasing Syilla. Mama can't run around, pity her sister in Mama's belly. Syilla want to go slow?” Pinta Radit asks Arsyilla not to run around and explains the condition of Khaira who can not run after him.
Arsyilla was then silent, he seemed to think, “Mama can not catch up to Syilla again Pa?” Ask the Papa.
“Now can not Darling .. later if the baby in the stomach Mama how sick. Poor baby, Syilla wants to have a baby sister, right? So let her baby grow healthy in Mama's stomach yeah ..” again Radit explained to Syilla slowly.
The girl nodded her head and showed her two blinking eyes, “iya Pa... Syilla will walk slowly, Syilla will be a good kayak.” After saying that word, Syilla ran and hugged her legs up to her waist, “forgive Syilla ya Ma.. Syilla will not run, let her baby sister healthy in the stomach Mama.”
Hearing Arsyilla who was only 3 years old but was so understanding, Khaira's heart felt so warm. The woman crouched down and hugged Arsyilla, “thank ya Unfortunately Mama .. Syilla really so good Big Brother, must be her baby sister here very dear same Sister Syilla.”
“Iya Ma .. kan Syilla wants to be a good sister. We go for a walk yes Ma, see the museum, Syilla likes to take a walk to the Museum,” said Arsyilla while holding her Mama's hand.
Radit and Khaira also throw views, both then smile to see Arsyilla, “Arsyilla want to be an architect huh? Later if you start school, diligent school yes Darling ... whatever the ideals of Arsyilla later, Mama and Papa will always support Arsyilla,”, Khaira said to her daughter.
He also applied not wanting to expect high to Arsyilla, as a parent, he would provide space for Arsyilla to achieve his goals, pursue his dreams. Just as her husband told her the other day, let Arsyilla as an adult do what she likes and pursue her dreams. Her job as a parent was to direct Arsyilla to pursue her goals later in life.
Same with Radit, he also agreed with the words of his wife just now. The man then crouched down and looked at Arsyilla, “right what Mama said .. Syilla will be a diligent school huh. Whatever Syilla's ideals, Mama and Papa will always support Syilla. Want to be an architect can also, pursue Syilla's dream later ya.” The man tells Arsyilla to pursue her dreams as an adult.
3-year-old Arsyilla nodded her head, “Iya Mama and Papa, Syilla will wake up a cool place for Mama and Papa.” he said while staring at his parents with his clear eyes.
After being satisfied around the museum, then Radit took Khaira and Arsyilla to ride an elevator to the Plateau Peak and Fire Independence, from there Arsyilla takjud see the beauty of the Capital from a height of 115 meters above ground level. Do not forget to receive three help the panorama of the beauty of the Capital by using binoculars that are up there.
“That's Pa buildings, visible from these binoculars.” Arsyilla spoke excitedly while using her eyes to look at the buildings she saw from behind binoculars.
“Arsyilla can see any building from the binoculars?” Ask Arsyilla.
“Many Pa... The Palace of the Country, Pa.” said Arsyilla with so much enthusiasm.
“Iya Darling .. in the Palace of the Country, there is a President staying. The president is the leader of this nation,” he explained to Arsyilla.
Allowing Arsyilla to see with binoculars, Radit moved and grabbed his wife's shoulder, “why are you? Tired ya?” He looked at his wife's face from the side.
Slowly Khaira shook her head, “enggak. Arsyilla asked a lot, maybe for others he was cherry, but in fact Arsyilla is clever and critical. I was just grim. Thank you for being taught to Monas.”, she told her husband.
“Iya Bumilku Darling .. only taught to Monas aja already happy, cravings really very dear. This Abis we just relax sitting in his cup Monas, baby, Arsyilla so we can play around there. You just sit down. Why has he been obedient right Bumilku Beautiful?” Ask his wife while continuing to stand behind Arsyilla who is excited by binoculars to see the panorama of the Capital.
