A Strong Woman
A strong woman, a hard worker… my mind said that. But I can’t describe my feeling when I see this woman for the first time; sad… or … admire her strength?
Last weekend, I visited my father in-law in Bumiayu, Central Java, Indonesia. That time, I was having breakfast with my husband at a small restaurant. From the restaurant, I can see the small river flowing under-not far away.
I saw several people were walking up and downs carrying river stones and sand; from the river to the road above. The distance isn’t far, but the small path is sheer enough and slippery. Then I noticed that between those men, there was a woman…
It’s a pity that I haven’t got a chance to know more: how much she paid for and how many rounds does she do per day. Unfortunately, the wage is generally too small…
She’s doing this- a very tough job- only for surviving; to fulfill her family needs. Maybe she doesn’t have another skill or opportunity to have another job. The question is: till when she can do this?
What we can learn from her? For me, she’s so inspiring. I truly admire her spirit and her struggle power to survive…

Your mother-in-law is one of the many unsung heroines in your country.. She is truly a blessing for her family.
I witnessed the same scene in my hometown in the beach before. Old and young were doing the same thing for survival. But I am not sure whether people are still doing it for a living this time.
It's incredible what the poor had to endure to support their family!

Dia kuat karena keadaan yang menuntut dia untuk menjadi seperti itu.. Jangankan dia.. kita semua, saat dalam kondisi yang mengharuskan kita untuk berbuat sesuatu yang sebelumnya terpikir sangatlah berat untuk dilakukan, mau ga mau, karena tak ada pilihan lain, kita akan tetap melakukannya.. Dan setelah kita sadari, maka kita akan takjub.. karena ternyata kita bisa..
