Ditatapnya kedua bola mata cerah perempuan itu. Hatinya tak henti mengucap syukur, Tuhan berikan ia sebagai teman hidupnya. “Kenapa kau mau menerimaku?”, ia masih heran. “Tuhan kirimkan kau untuk kucintai, dan mencintaiku.” Dapur di rumah mereka menguarkan harum-haruman yang membuat lelaki itu hanya ingin makan di rumah. “Uda mau makan apa?” diucapkan dengan suara paling lembut sedunia. Tuhan, inikah surga? Orang-orang melihat betapa...

As for some people, broadening their borders seems scary. Oh, forget about seeing. The idea of it already scared them to death. Those people are usually already too comfortable of being on their comfort zone. Too afraid to walk to a 'better area'. Too scared to make sacrifices.
