Catatan Perjalanan

In lebaran holidays, expecially after lebaran day, there is no house keeper at home. It makes me and my mother handled houses job, like clean our house and make our cloth clean and tidy. It is an exhausted job. No one help my mother besides me. I am the youngest child in my family. My two oldest daughter has been married and they live behind. They have their own family, so they are busy enough in take care their own family. Actually I have twin brother (male). But he can help us because he is work at a bank so he is busy, it seems that not too many holiday for him.
Usually before lebaran holiday, we was helped by house keeper. So, when she goes back to her hometown for a moment, there a condition unusual for me. First day, I feel very tired. It is more tired than teach at school for full day. I know this condition is not permanent. When I must go back to work at school on Monday, she will be at our house. Eventhough I am not sure of it, because I heard from my mom she will go back to Jakarta after being proposed by her boyfriend. So the worst condition is my mom will take care the house alone while I am work at school. But I wont make it happened. I’ll try to help her as best as I can.
Flash through my mind, it needs strong power or energy to be a tough woman. Expecially if the woman have an social activity. Can I being tough woman? I don’t know. “God won’t give us loads above our ability”. That sentences strength me when I feel weak with all of duty (amanah). Of course in my future I hope my husband will help me to take care children and house as best as he can. But as a woman, I wont forget my duty. It just a wonderfull family, husband and wife helps each other to solve their problem or difficulty.
As a part of god’s servant, family, and environment, woman needs to prepare herself by improving their readiness facing new life talenting. Sometimes tough, sometimes weak... From deep thinking may be we will get some power. Think anything positive can give us motivation or inspiration to stand up and take a moved.
