Change or adapt ?

Assalamualaikum.

“CHANGE IT OR GET ADAPT TO IT”

Those were words that I learnt when I was 19 years old. I was in my matriculation time, still blurred about the course that I should take, still blurred with what I want to be in the future. It was said by my main campus’s Deputy Dean Student Affairs, Bro Z. He was already in his 50’s, a wise man with wise words.

I keep holding on to those words all this time. Reminds myself that I can’t change everything. Well, not everything can be change according to your will.

No matter how much it hurts, the pain will soon cured once you get adapt to it.

Don’t get me wrong. “CHANGE IT OR GET ADAPT TO IT” doesn’t mean that you have to just go on with the flow and accept everything that you have. No, it is not neccessarily that. It is also doesn’t mean that you have to stop fighting for your own needs. No, it isn’t.

You have to fight for your own will. Go on. Till you reach your limit. Then by that time you’ll notice whether it is something that you can change or the one that you have to adapt to it instead.

CHANGES, is not something that can be easily accepted by most of the people.

Sometimes when the fact obviously shows that it cannot be changed, tell yourself to slowly learn to adapt to it. You are not giving up, it just you are learning to accept the truth and stop lying to yourself that there are still hopes. If miracle happens, be grateful to Allah. But if the situation remain the same, be grateful to Allah as well. He won’t put you in such a test if he think you are uncapable to carry it.

Keep smiling. And focus for the future ahead. Don’t ever stop praying. May whatever test that we are going through keep us always in the firm faith to Allah. Amin. J

Mata merenung skrin laptop sepi. Dagu ditongkatkan atas kepala teddy bear pink miliknya yang diletakkan di atas riba. Otak kosong. Idea berterabur. Menjadikan laporan yang sepatutnya siap sedari petang tadi belum mampu disiapkan lagi. Mata yang tertancap pada keratan artikel yang perlu diulang baca untuk difahami dikalih pandang ke tab browser facebook yang baru dibuka. Newsfeed yang terpapar di scroll down ke bawah. Tiada cerita menarik. Status-status yang ada kebanyakannya masih berkisar tentang banjir yang kini mulai surut (Alhamdulillah). Itu cerita di pantai timur. Lain cerita mereka yang tidak terlibat dengan banjir. Sakan memuat naik gambar betapa gembiranya mereka hari ini (Tahniah).

“Bosan.” Lantas browser FB ditutup. Dan fikirannya mula menerawang..

“Jadilah orang yang sabar.” Lembut suara itu menuturkan bicara.

“Kalau saya tak mampu bersabar?” Dia menoleh pandang kepada sahabat disebelahnya. Ada air 

mata yang bergenang di tubir matanya. Orang yang berbicara semudah itu mengungkapkan kata. Bukan dia yang merasa. Bukan dia. Masakan dia tau..

“Awak tak rasa apa yang saya rasa..” Suaranya tertahan. Kedengaran sayu. Dia kembali menundukkan pandangan. Kakinya menguis tanah dengan hujung kasut snickers miliknya.

“Saya tau awak boleh.” Serentak dengan itu terasa tangan sahabatnya mengusap belakang badan. Perlahan dan menyenangkan.

“Terima kasih.” Dan air mata mulai berlinangan.
