This is Real

Years ago someone gave me a very nice and fancy pen with my name on it, for my 17th birthday gift.

"Aku yakin suatu saat kamu akan jadi penulis," was written on the card.

I thought it was only a lip service, and later I lost the pen (yes I cried at the moment).

Now, when I see my book (even it is not my own, but with 3 other writers) on that new-arrival-shelf, I cannot help but reminiscing the day I received the gift.

And this is the message I got today: "I knew it, Budiana. I knew it since the beginning."

How lucky I am to be surrounded by lots of supporters. Alhamdulillah ya Allah.
