Peace day
Peace is a word that every human always want.
We always want it, but to tell honest, it’s not easy to make peace. In this
world that we live in today, facing life without problems must be impossible. I
can tell that rather than peace, I always face so many problems in my life.
Yes, it’s true that we are surrounded by so many problems, but that doesn’t
mean we can’t make a peace.
I think I’m going to tell you about my childhood
story that can be an example for this case. I have a big family and I always
play with my cousins. There are more than 15 cousins that I have, but I used to
play with four of them because they have close ages to me. The first one is my
sister. The second one is a boy. His name is Rifqi and two years older than me.
The third is a girl named Najwa and she’s one year older than me. The forth is
in the same age as me. Her name is Rahma. We are a great team, incredible and
so powerful when we’re together, but back before it, there was a story when
broke up and messed up with our bond.
It’s just a simple case, but was then huge. The
problem is that we were fighting to claim who’s belong to a Disney character, Princess
Aurora. It was actually not all of the five’s problem, but the problem was
between Najwa and my sister. Yeah, but since we’re so close, sometimes the rest
might get involve too.
My cousin Najwa, she liked Aurora and she even
had so many magazines about the character. My sister, she liked pink very much
so that she liked the princess very much too. My sister was feeling betrayed
knowing that Najwa really liked Aurora too. My sister thought that she’s the
first person in our group who liked Aurora. My sister was feeling that she was
the only one who could love and like her. Then, the problem was starting from
that.
They were starting to not meet each other. They
were starting to hate each other. Everything seemed going to be worst. They
started a cold war between. My sister wanted Najwa acknowledged herself as the
only person who owned the character of Princess Aurora, but it was making the
case worst. Then, Najwa wanted to keep what she loved, but she started to fear
my sister’s angers to her. In order to do the best for those two considerations,
Najwa tried to say to my sister that she liked Princess Aurora, but only when
she wore the blue dress. Najwa thought that it would work because she guessed
that the problem might be because of the color. So Najwa did that, but unlucky
my sister just fell deeper into her greed. Still, my sister said no.
Unrealized, this cold war had gone too long and
gradually made our bond broke up. Everything was just not right. Back then,
when the five of us gathered, we always played with so much of joys, but when
that cold war appeared not really a good time that we got. We just made another
problem between. My sister wanted me in her side and not to support Najwa’s
side and be her spy to know what Najwa always said about my sister and told me
to report to her. I felt more uncomfortable because I couldn’t do that. I was
still Najwa’s cousin. So I couldn’t let Najwa behind.
It was going until year or years may be. Then,
Najwa was then hated this problem to go for another times on. So she decided to
solve this and end like what it should have been. She asked me and Rahma for
some advices. Najwa told me anything and even she told me how she felt and how
hard for her to face this. Yeah, I could imagine that too, because I knew how scary
my sister was. That time, I thought that it was a good idea and a great start
to do, because honestly I’d been tire to be in the middle of their cold war
too. So I did what I could do.
We discussed the way. Then, finally we found
the best way to solve this. It was with communicating. I knew best about my
sister. My sister was a stubborn and she would never tell a word like ‘let
someone won over her’. So I told Najwa to let what she loved first, asked for
forgiving each other and told to be a best family again. Najwa knew and felt it
was hard for her, but she even didn’t want this problem gone any further. So
she intended to do the plan.
The day came. Najwa tried to brace herself up
and went to speak to my sister. They communicated for few minutes. Then, I
could see that the conversation was going well, because I could see a smile
between them. They approached us. They said that they were going to get well
like before again and we were happy to hear that.
Time passed on, we started to get along well
like before again. By the time we grew up, we learned more about sharing each
other and to have a good communication between each other. So did my sister.
The time had already brought her to realize that loving something is the gift
and a right for every living. And to share what we love is the great moment that
we can get.
