Thoughts On Inspiring Friends: Prof. Arie Sukanti Hutagalung, S.H., M.Li.


Okay, she's not my friend. She's my mom. But she's my friend too. My long-life friend, to be specific. We've been through best and worst moments in life together.

Anyway, the thing is: I miss her. So I'll just babble anything I know that reminds me of her.

1. She was born on September 29, 1951. That means her birthday is coming up very soon. And unlike previous years, I can't be with her in her birthday. My birthday present for her shall be postponed until I finish my study in the ANU (in December, hopefully).  Maybe I'll just write her a short story. Just like what I did for my parents' anniversary.

2. She is THE professor of Agrarian Law. What I mean "the" is the fact that she's one of the only three (or two? CMIIW, Mom) professor of Agrarian Law in Indonesia. She understands something most people in Indonesia don't understand. This is why I could never exceed her. She's too great.

3. She's a very devoted mother. Sometimes it's scary. She loves Dad, me, and my sister very much. Too much that sometimes I think I can't breathe because of her love. But that's what she is, and I love her the way she is.

4. She's nice but different. Indonesian people think she's far too loud in expressing her opinions. I think that's normal. Because most of the time she is right. It's the people who just can't get her. They're too stupid to understand her, perhaps. But yeah, I have to admit that sometimes she's just far waay too loud. That's her weakness, and my weakness too. We both need to learn to shut up. But why shut up when you know you're right? Why letting the stupid people talk as if they knew everything while in fact they don't? WHYYY??? *okay, stop it, Rim*

5. She's too nice sometimes people take an advantage of her. And I hate those kind of people. I hate people who hurt my mother. I wish them a very unhappy life. And may God forgive them, because I won't.
