Let's start with this : no one would buy a cake for everyday. But, most of the time, beautiful cake has a special way of creating a joy. It represents the joy and sweetness of life, especially for her. It isn't about a celebration, but it's about how she associate her emotions with it. Because It brings her favorite people together. Especially for the moment of Eid Al-Fitri or birthday, the most favorite day in her life.
Thinking about those day in her life, she knows what she truly needed - a time to contemplate. Taking time to pause. Let herself feel deep. Re-evaluate everything. Every part of her life. How her relationship with Allah SWT, how her relationship with family, how her relationship with other people. Contemplate her own fault. Contemplate how blessed she is for all the good friends in her life. Contemplate how grateful she is for the hard lessons and the wonderful memories in life.

The Day when Her Creator Choose for Her

Aku tak pernah sekalipun menceritakannya. Bukan, bukan karena dia tak istimewa. Justru karena ketulusan atas semua kebaikannya tak bisa ku gambarkan dengan apapun. Sudah berapa purnama yang ia lewatkan bersamaku meskipun kami sempat beberapa tahun terpisah jauh. Dua belas tahun bagiku bukan waktu yang sebentar untuk saling mengetahui dan memahami satu sama lain. Menerima diri yang biasa-biasa saja ini. Termasuk mengenal dan mencintai keluargaku. Dia yang juga menyayangi anak-anak dengan hati dan jiwanya ~

Sometimes, she's still somehow strangely nostalgic for the old days, where life was simple and quiet, where life was cute and beautiful like her favorite cake. The days where she could find peace in every pages books she read. Also the days where she made a super big mistakes.
But, all of it, has brought her to this moment, today. The miracles to describe how Allah SWT really loves her. To guide her being a better mom and a better Muslim.
May this day raise brightly, this year beautifully and life be blessed eternally (like her husband said)
Eat the cake with great pleasure, said "Aamiin" to every doa and enjoy the day with the heart full of Alhamdulillah ~
