"Let her cry cause she's a lady"
I meet a woman, a warrior one. People know her with her strong personality. She's brave, and even claimed herself as an independent well being. However despite of it, no one can denies that she's just an ordinary human. Have weaknesses, feelings and emotions that somehow make her break into pieces for sometime.
Sometimes life makes her felt hopeless. Sometimes she felt that she's being cursed because challenges and struggles poured heavily on her plate. A heavy loads of burdens makes her hopeless. So I reminded her that she isn't being cursed, because no one would, she's just being tested. God won't punished His children's, rather He always cared for them.
This past few days I saw her crying in one corner. She's crying silently as she doesn't want people will saw her with tear's. Her fate is giving her heavy loads of challenges to train her well, and become a strong warrior of her own battles in the future.
Her fate allows her to see, that being independent doesn't mean she must always be brave. Doesn't mean she must have to fight each battles that crosses her way. Because sometimes all she needs is to let the fight pass and she must remain calm.
However she caught me watching her crying, she immediately wiped up her tear's and smile at me. She's really great on pretending. Her fate trained her well on pretending, because from her face, no one could ever really saw any signs of weakness. She's indeed brave, but still fragile inside.
I smiled back at her, and pretended like I didn't see anything. I want her to open up but she keeps her silence. I initiated and asked her to lean on to my shoulder and waited her to say something but she didn't say anything.
She's trying to be brave, but I know she's dying inside. She's already wounded I know.
I hold her hand and let her feel that I am willing to listen, and then she looked at me and tears began to fall. She cried heavily.
Her tears is already enough for me to understand her struggles. I didn't say anything, I let her cry until she feels better. Eventually she stops from crying. She wiped her tears. She fixed her self. She stand up, and smiled with confidence again.
... I'm okay! She said.
She made me proud of her. Even if her whole universe keeps on pulling her down over and over again, she's still willing and willing to stand up. I smiled. Indeed, life is tough but she's tougher. And this woman is ME.
Chaaarrr π..
Anyway this article was in my draft, this is actually my article last Tuesday but I failes to publish it. I'm frustrated, stressed, and at the same time so exhausted that day.
