Percakapan di Rumah Sakit - Is God Here, sis?

I was in hospital that day... Kept my grandma a company when the result of her monthly checked-up come out... I looked around here and there.. I saw no one... I really need to talk to someone, before this building freaks me out.. I don't know... I just don't like it...

I wear my earphone... Listen to music...

Then a young girl wearing a green uniform like patient used to wear running after me... Sshe also wears a blue handmade hat... There are three yellow flowers makes that hat so attractive... She was about 9-10 years old and she's so tiny... Her skin is so pale... And u know? After she get close enough for me to see... She also bald...

Shocking by that tiny bald head... I was just staring... When she said...

Girl : Hi... What r u doing here? R u sick? (Her voice was so calm but strong in the same time...)

Me : No... I'm not sick... I just came for my grandma's results...

Girl : Owh. My name is Elena. By the way... Who's ur name?

Me : Hey Elena, my name is Emmy... U can call me anything u want...

Elena : Can I call u princess?

Me : Me? Why? Do I look like a princess?

Elena : My mom said every girl looks like a princess..

Me : So, that means u're a princess too . . .

Elena : Yeah, sure... U and me are princess . .

Me : Okay... What r u doing so late? Don't u have to get rest?

Elena : Yah, I feel bored with activities here... I was just wish I'm not having this... (Then suddenly I realize, she's sick... Must be serious illness till her head bald down) (she sighs... And looks like she thinks about something)

Elena : I had this (That I notice it was leukemia... But she looks like cant even say what she adopt) since I was a child... I get collapse sometimes... But day after day it happens oftenly.. Then I collapse everyday... (i dont know what to say)

Me : I'm sorry to hear that...

Elena : No, you don't have to be sorry... I feel lonely sometimes... It feels like nobody cares about me...

Me : Yah, when we're down, it seems like everybody's left sometimes... U don't have to worry about it... It happens to everyone... All u have to do now is just believe u get well so soon...

Elena : Is God there, sis? (suddenly my world likes crumbling down)

Me : I don't know... I cant see him (stupid answer)

Elena : I can't see Him too... But I think He is...

Me : What makes u think like that?

Elena : I don't know, He lives through doctor's hand, nurse's words, and nice people like you who want to chat with me... (this part makes me want to die...)

Me : Do u think so?

Elena : I was thinking God isn't fair... I was just a girl... And I have to live my life painfully... if God exist... Why do I have to be like this? I want to play with the other girls but they're seem walks away when I come around... If God does exist.. Why He left me alone? but it was so yesterday... Somehow I know that God really here between u and me...

Me : What a brave child...

Elena : Honestly, I'm afraid when I know that I will die somehow...

Me : Who said u will be? U can be better...

Elena : Don't play on me... I know what is this... (I want to cry...)

A girl who notice that she'll be dead in a year... Being brave cuz she knows God is in her side... Live through the people around her... Me? Painless... But I cant be that strong...

Kata-kata perempuan dan artinya..

niCh juGag isenk"an..
Boleh percaya boleh nggak, tapii ini bener" terjadii di beberapa perempuann...

1. Fine = This world women use to end an argumen when they are right and you need to shut up

2. Five Minutes = if she getting dressed, it means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you just have been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house

3. Nothing = this is the calm before the storm. this means something, and you should be on your toes. argument that begin with nothing is usually end with fine.

4. Go Ahead = this is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

5. Loud Sigh = This is actually a word, but its a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. a loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing her and arguing bout nothing (read #3 to see what 'nothing' means)

6. That's okay = this is one of he most dangerous statement women can make to a man. thats okay means she wants to think a long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistakes.

7. Thanks = a women is thanking you, dont question or faint. just say you're welcome (i want to add some clause here - this is true, unless she said "thanks-a-lot" - that is pure SARCASM and she's not thanking you at all. do not say 'you're welcome' that will brings you a "WHATEVER").

8. Don't worry about it, i got it = another dangerous statement, meaning this is women has told a man to do several times, but its now she's doing her self. this will later result a man asking "whats wrong?" and then a women often say "...look at #3"

Kalimat Pengandaian - Conditional Sentences

Kalimat pengandaian digunakan untuk mengungkapkan suatu kejadian yang AKAN terjadi BILA penyebabnya (yang merupakan kejadian pertama) terjadi duluan. Dengan kata lain, kejadian "B" (katakanlah begitu, untuk memudahkan) akan terjadi bila kondisi-kondisi penyebabnya (kejadian "A") telah terjadi. Simpelnya, jika A maka B. Jika tidak A, maka tidak B pula. Jika anda masak nasi, ya akan dapat nasi. Jika tidak masak nasi, tentu saja ga punya nasi (kecuali dikasih tetangga.. hehehe).

Kalimat pengandaian bisa menggambarkan kondisi aktual atau nyata Real dan bisa juga mendeskripsikan harapan (terhadap sesuatu belum atau tidak terjadi) atau yang disebut Not Real. Jika memang aktual, maka hasilnya akan didapat di masa datang. Jika berupa pengandaian atau harapan, maka hasilnya sudah didapat sekarang hanya saja tidak sesuai dengan harapan. (duh...kalimatku kok kacau gini ya..)

Conditional sentence biasanya dimulai dengan kata "if" (jika) dan diikuti dengan klausa atau anak kalimat. Kalimat yang diungkapkan dalam kondisi past tense adalah pengungkapan harapan atas realitas yang tidak sesuai rencana/harapan. Makanya, hasil yang terjadi adalah kebalikannya. Here is an example:

1. If the bus hadn’t already passed by, we would’ve been on time for our meeting.

Kenyataannya adalah If the bus hadn’t already passed by means that the bus did pass by. Klausa lain, we would’ve been on time, malah berarti we were not on time. Busnya memang datang, tapi tetap aja telat.

2. If the bus had already passed by, there would be no people waiting.

Klausa pengandaian, If the bus had already passed by adalah kalimat positif yang mana artinya menjadi kebalikannya, negatif, the bus did not pass by, Klausa akibat, there would be no people waiting bermakna negatif yang mana berarti kebalikannya there are people waiting.

3. If the man had called the ambulance, the boy would’ve survived.

Kejadian sebenarnya adalah: Si anak laki-laki itu tidak selamat, karena si bapak tidak memanggil ambulans. This means the man did not call the ambulance and the boy did not survive.

Coba anda rasakan perbedaannya jika kita menggunakan present tense. Ini yang dinamakan kondisi sebenarnya karena klausa2 tersebut (baik itu pengandaian, akibat) tidak mempunyai arti yang berlawanan. Contoh:

If the bus arrives soon, we’ll be on time for our meeting. Jika busnya tepat waktu, kita akan tepat waktu untuk rapat. Kenyataannya ya... memang belum terjadi. The bus still might arrive soon, and if it does, we’ll be on time for our meeting.

If the man calls the ambulance, the boy will survive. Jika pria tersebut menelpon ambulans, si anak laki2 itu akan selamat.The man might call the ambulance, and the boy might survive.

Harapan (Wish)

Kata kerja "wish" bisa menggambarkan kondisi nyata dan tidak nyata. Seperti contoh yang diatas, jika diungkapkan dengan tenses yang "selangkah lebih mundur" dari past tense, maka itu berarti tidak sesuai kejadian sebenarnya.
