MODERN TANGGANG


For some reason, I feel the urge to write a post to wrap up everything.

First of all, modern Tanggang really exist. And most important of all, it exists among my surrounding. All my life, I've heard how a series of siblings had been neglected by their own mother. The mother even once abandoned one of the siblings by the dustbin. No one of the siblings has been raised by their mother. My grandmother and my grandfather took the responsibilities to raised them up. What burn my heart is, all of the siblings regretfully forget their deeds and never show up again to at least update how my grandmother's doing. My grandfather passed away in 2007 and my grandmother is still living healthily, apart from usual disabilities to walk properly and occasionally forgets the current situation. All I know, my father's sisters (two of them), and my mom (my grandmother's daughter in law) has been taking care of her simultaneously. That's not really the business here. When the siblings were little, my dad pretty much bear a part of responsibilities to take care of them. I believe all of them remember what my father did to them. How can they forget all the deeds? And, somebody actually framed me saying I called them 'anjing' (dog). Well, ''fitnah berleluasa di akhir zaman'' (the closer we are to the world's end, the larger slander occurs). I just wanted them to remember all the deeds people gave to them and remember, you will be paid as much as you give. You forget someone who raised you, just wait and see for your children to do the same to you. I'm sorry, but to all people that actually believe I said 'anjing' when I'm not, I promise you, I will never regard you as part of my family anymore. I wish Allah gave you 'hidayah' so that you guys won't stray too far. I hope your life will be blessed eventhough you treated the person who raised you guys this way. Anyway, 'ke mana tumpahnya kuah kalau tidak ke nasi' (apple does not fall far from the tree). See the mother who abandoned their child and never raise even one of them, that's why the children act like that.

Assalamualaikum.
