Kisah Mengharukan: “Ibu Buta Yang Memalukanku”

"Terkadang Kita Tak Merasa Memiliki Sesuatu Sampai Kita Benar2 Kehilangan"
 Saat aku beranjak dewasa, aku mulai mengenal sedikit kehidupan yang menyenangkan, merasakan kebahagiaan memiliki wajah yang tampan, kebahagiaan memiliki banyak pengagum di sekolah, kebahagiaan karena kepintaranku yang dibanggakan banyak guru. Itulah aku, tapi satu yang harus aku tutupi, aku malu mempunyai seorang ibu yang BUTA! Matanya tidak ada satu. Aku sangat malu, benar-benar
Aku sangat menginginkan kesempurnaan terletak padaku, tak ada satupun yang cacat dalam hidupku juga dalam keluargaku. Saat itu ayah yang menjadi tulang punggung kami sudah dipanggil terlebih dahulu oleh yang Maha Kuasa. Tinggallah aku anak semata wayang yang seharusnya menjadi tulang punggung pengganti ayah. Tapi semua itu tak kuhiraukan. Aku hanya mementingkan kebutuhan dan keperluanku saja. Sedang ibu bekerja membuat makanan untuk para karyawan di sebuah rumah jahit sederhana.
Pada suatu saat ibu datang ke sekolah untuk menjenguk keadaanku. Karena sudah beberapa hari aku tak pulang ke rumah dan tidak tidur di rumah. Karena rumah kumuh itu membuatku muak, membuatku kesempurnaan yang kumiliki manjadi cacat. Akan kuperoleh apapun untuk menggapai sebuah kesempurnaan itu.
Tepat di saat istirahat, Kulihat sosok wanita tua di pintu sekolah. Bajunya pun bersahaja rapih dan sopan. Itulah ibu ku yang mempunyai mata satu. Dan yang selalu membuat aku malu dan yang lebih memalukan lagi Ibu memanggilku. “Mau ngapain ibu ke sini? Ibu datang hanya untuk mempermalukan aku!” Bentakkan dariku membuat diri ibuku segera bergegas pergi. Dan itulah memang yang kuharapkan. Ibu pun bergegas keluar dari sekolahku. Karena kehadiranya itu aku benar-benar malu, sangat malu. Sampai beberapa temanku berkata dan menanyakan. “Hai, itu ibumu ya???, Ibumu matanya satu ya?” yang menjadikanku bagai disambar petir mendapat pertanyaan seperti itu.
Beberapa bulan kemudian aku lulus sekolah dan mendapat beasiswa di sebuah sekolah di luar negeri. Aku mendapatkan beasiswa yang ku incar dan kukejar agar aku bisa segera meninggalkan rumah kumuhku dan terutama meninggalkan ibuku yang membuatku malu. Ternyata aku berhasil mendapatkannya. Dengan bangga kubusungkan dada dan aku berangkat pergi tanpa memberi tahu Ibu karena bagiku itu tidak perlu. Aku hidup untuk diriku sendiri. Persetan dengan Ibuku. Seorang yang selalu mnghalangi kemajuanku.
Di Selolah itu, aku menjadi mahasiswa terpopuler karena kepintaran dan ketampananku. Aku telah sukses dan kemudian aku menikah dengan seorang gadis Indonesia dan menetap di Singapura.
Singkat cerita aku menjadi seorang yang sukses, sangat sukses. Tempat tinggalku sangat mewah, aku mempunyai seorang anak laki-laki berusia tiga tahun dan aku sangat menyayanginya. Bahkan aku rela mempertaruhkan nyawaku untuk putraku itu.
10 tahun aku menetap di Singapura, belajar dan membina rumah tangga dengan harmonis dan sama sekali aku tak pernah memikirkan nasib ibuku. Sedikit pun aku tak rindu padanya, aku tak mencemaskannya. Aku BAHAGIA dengan kehidupan ku sekarang.
Tapi pada suatu hari kehidupanku yang sempurna tersebut terusik, saat putraku sedang asyik bermain di depan pintu. Tiba-tiba datang seorang wanita tua renta dan sedikit kumuh menghampirinya. Dan kulihat dia adalah Ibuku, Ibuku datang ke Singapura. Entah untuk apa dan dari mana dia memperoleh ongkosnya. Dia datang menemuiku.
Seketika saja Ibuku ku usir. Dengan enteng aku mengatakan: “HEY, PERGILAH KAU PENGEMIS. KAU MEMBUAT ANAKKU TAKUT!” Dan tanpa membalas perkataan kasarku, Ibu lalu tersenyum, “MAAF, SAYA SALAH ALAMAT”
Tanpa merasa besalah, aku masuk ke dalam rumah.
Beberapa bulan kemudian datanglah sepucuk surat undangan reuni dari sekolah SMA ku. Aku pun datang untuk menghadirinya dan beralasan pada istriku bahwa aku akan dinas ke luar negeri.
Singkat cerita, tibalah aku di kota kelahiranku. Tak lama hanya ingin menghadiri pesta reuni dan sedikit menyombongkan diri yang sudah sukses ini. Berhasil aku membuat seluruh teman-temanku kagum pada diriku yang sekarang ini.
Selesai Reuni entah megapa aku ingin melihat keadaan rumahku sebelum pulang ke Sigapore. Tak tau perasaan apa yang membuatku melangkah untuk melihat rumah kumuh dan wanita tua itu. Sesampainya di depan rumah itu, tak ada perasaan sedih atau bersalah padaku, bahkan aku sendiri sebenarnya jijik melihatnya. Dengan rasa tidak berdosa, aku memasuki rumah itu tanpa mengetuk pintu terlebih dahulu. Ku lihat rumah ini begitu berantakan. Aku tak menemukan sosok wanita tua di dalam rumah itu, entahlah dia ke mana, tapi justru aku merasa lega tak bertemu dengannya.
Bergegas aku keluar dan bertemu dengan salah satu tetangga rumahku. “Akhirnya kau datang juga. Ibu mu telah meninggal dunia seminggu yang lalu”
“OH…”
Hanya perkataan itu yang bisa keluar dari mulutku. Sedikit pun tak ada rasa sedih di hatiku yang kurasakan saat mendengar ibuku telah meninggal. “Ini, sebelum meninggal, Ibumu memberikan surat ini untukmu”
Setelah menyerahkan surat ia segera bergegas pergi. Ku buka lembar surat yang sudah kucal itu.
Untuk anakku yang sangat Aku cintai,
Anakku yang kucintai aku tahu kau sangat membenciku. Tapi Ibu senang sekali waktu mendengar kabar bahwa akan ada reuni disekolahmu.
Aku berharap agar aku bisa melihatmu sekali lagi. karena aku yakin kau akan datang ke acara Reuni tersebut.
Sejujurnya ibu sangat merindukanmu, teramat dalam sehingga setiap malam Aku hanya bisa menangis sambil memandangi fotomu satu-satunya yang ibu punya.Ibu tak pernah lupa untuk mendoakan kebahagiaanmu, agar kau bisa sukses dan melihat dunia luas.
Asal kau tau saja anakku tersayang, sejujurnya mata yang kau pakai untuk melihat dunia luas itu salah satunya adalah mataku yang selalu membuatmu malu.
Mataku yang kuberikan padamu waktu kau kecil. Waktu itu kau dan Ayah mu mengalami kecelakaan yang hebat, tetapi Ayahmu meninggal, sedangkan mata kananmu mengalami kebutaan. Aku tak tega anak tersayangku ini hidup dan tumbuh dengan mata yang cacat maka aku berikan satu mataku ini untukmu.
Sekarang aku bangga padamu karena kau bisa meraih apa yang kau inginkan dan cita-citakan.
Dan akupun sangat bahagia bisa melihat dunia luas dengan mataku yang aku berikan untukmu.
Saat aku menulis surat ini, aku masih berharap bisa melihatmu untuk yang terakhir kalinya, Tapi aku rasa itu tidak mungkin, karena aku yakin maut sudah di depan mataku.
Peluk cium dari Ibumu tercinta
Bak petir di siang bolong yang menghantam seluruh saraf-sarafku, Aku terdiam! Baru kusadari bahwa yang membuatku malu sebenarnya bukan ibuku, tetapi diriku sendiri….
 Mudah-mudahan kia dan anak-anak kita kelak tidak seperti tokoh yang ada dalam kisah mengharukan ibu dan anak diatas. Sejelek-jeleknya orang tua kita, maka kita wajib untuk mencintainya, menyayanginya, menghormatinya.
 Tulus Cinta Untuk Ibu Dan Bapak.

Aku Mencintaimu Karena Allah.....

Dizziness, Dizziness, Headache, Migraine, Vertigo: The reason Recognize and Avoid

Illustration / Admin (Shutterstock)
We all, young or old, male or female, the village head or the head of state, must have had a headache, headache or dizziness, squash-squash, and so on.
There are various flavors of the chief complaint, and also various ways we express it, such as:
headache or dizziness,
throbbing headache (cephalgia / headache),
head and neck pain,
headaches (migraine / migraine),
full flavor in the head,
flavors to explode the head,
sense as there is a gripping head,
squash-squash flavor (dizziness), or 'taste like rocked', or 'taste like an earthquake', or 'flavors such as on board', and
vertigo or 'spinning dizziness', or 'sense upside down'.
Not infrequently these chief complaints accompanied / followed by other complaints such as:
- Weakness / fatigue
- Cold sweats
- Ear buzzing / ringing
- Numbness and / or tingling in part or in whole body
- Nausea or even vomiting.
All variations chief complaint is it feels real and not contrived, because each chief complaint was no cause.
When the chief complaint is ongoing, almost all of us will soon feel / suspect / believe / accuse tension (blood pressure) is the cause. "This is probably the tension up / down ni", "It's definitely tension ni" ', "Dizziness dock, dock tension", that's what we often hear, we say, and we believe.
If we or our family members had complaints of head, usually the first time examined by medical personnel / doctors is tension. If the chief complaint is so serious / serious until we could no longer sit / stand, maybe we would be immediately rushed to the hospital, or perhaps we invite medic / doctor to the house to check on us. In all these cases, what is first checked? Tension. Tension! Tension! Tension! Tension is always considered as the cause. Because in most cases the chief complaint of heavy / severe increase in blood pressure obtained or high blood pressure (hypertension), we become accustomed to convict tension as the cause for it.

But was chief complaints are caused by hypertension?
NOT TRUE.
For most of our society, this statement may sound very strange and against the current. Are not we dizzy when, we rise or high blood pressure? true; when a person experiences chief complaints, often (but not always) there is a rise in blood pressure or high blood pressure (hypertension). But the increase in blood pressure or hypertension itself is always a cause. What causes the increase in blood pressure or hypertension, that is the cause of the complaints of the head. In other words, the increase in blood pressure and hypertension only a sign, not a cause.
There are many people who are very high blood pressure (eg above 200mmHg) do not feel the complaints and the head can still move as usual, still whistling and singing. Conversely, many people have complaints when bertensi normal head. This is strong evidence that the increase in blood pressure and hypertension is not the cause of the complaints of the head.
Why can a headache / dizziness / headache / vertigo?
There are many causes of chief complaints. Basically, at the time chief complaints that happens, there are several possible events that are taking place in the brain, among other things:
a. Blood flow within the brain slows down / not smooth, because the blood is too thick.
b. Blood too thin or lacking blood.
c. Blood contain toxic materials, such as cigarettes and others.
d. Increased pressure in the head.
Diseases or conditions that cause the onset of the most common chief complaints were:
Excess cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia / hypercholesterolemia).
Excess levels of blood fats or triglycerides (Hypertriglyceridemia / hypertriglyceridemia).
Excess blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) in diabetes / diabetes.
Cigarettes.
Lack of sleep.
Anemia or anemia (low hemoglobin, red blood cells or less).
Liming of neck spine area.
1, 2, 3 cholesterol, blood fats, blood sugar
Excess levels of cholesterol, blood fats (triglycerides) and blood sugar makes our blood curdle, slowing the flow of blood throughout the body-including the brain, causing complaints head. Which thickens the blood makes the heart work harder to pump blood, resulting in the increase in blood pressure or hypertension. So, in this case, the increase in cholesterol levels, blood fats, and blood-sugar was the cause of the complaints of the head, not tension.
4. Cigarettes
Toxins in the blood are most commonly responsible for causing complaint is the head of the cigarette. Thousands of types of toxic chemicals from cigarette smoke alone is enough to poison the brain. Plus a heap or accumulation of toxins in the blood cigarette smokers (active or passive) automatically thicken the blood, cause complaints head.
Without realizing it (and without being promoted), adverse effects often experienced by smokers and the people around him. So many smokers who regularly or 'subscription' chief complaints experienced, but less attention to the medical world / realize that cigarettes are one of the main causes. Lots of women / mothers who experienced domestic complaints heads because berpacar / covert smokers. Chief complaints are also often experienced by office workers who all day 'forced' to become a victim of smokers in the work environment. That is why, in developed countries, cigarette smokers have become "common enemy" for many people. In our country, the rules stay the rules, never enforced. Coupled with the high level of tolerance for cigarettes and smokers by all people-including the medical community, cigarettes are often not counted as a chief cause of complaint, let alone by a physician smokers.
5. Lack of sleep
Have you ever had a complaint chief after less sleep or not to sleep all day? Many of us have experienced this incident. For example, in the home is no celebration or party; we prepare for days to hours we sleep very less or no. Fitting in the event we must awake or 'literacy' day, the next head of the complaints arise. Another example is when we are traveling a lot, for example road trip throughout the day that makes us unable to sleep in the car / bus; complaints arise the next day head.
6 Less blood (anemia, low blood pressure is not)
One of the causes of the complaints that quite often the head is less blood. Less blood is called anemia, which lack Hb (Haemoglobin) and / or the lack of red blood cells (erythrocytes). As a result, the content of oxygen (O2) in the blood is also reduced, leading to complaints head. Due to the lack of oxygen in the blood, the heart must work harder to pump blood, resulting in the increase in blood pressure or hypertension. So, in this case, the one that causes anemia complaints head, not tension.
The causes of anemia are numerous, ranging from diseases that are 'light' up the weight. Some causes of anemia include: iron deficiency, intestinal worms, perdararahan excessive or prolonged menstruation, blood thinners, steroids are often misused as "rheumatism", herbs rheumatism and gout, disorders / kidney disease, and malignancy / cancer.
Low = Less blood pressure monitor? WRONG!
So far, the majority of the people of Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, believes that low blood pressure means less blood, or that less blood is characterized by low blood pressure (hypotension / hypotension). It is a false belief, but it was already ingrained in our nation.
As described above, less blood is anemia, which is a lack of concentration Haemoglobin (Hb) and / or the lack of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Less blood makes the heart have to pump harder / stronger, so that it causes the increase in blood pressure or hypertension. So do not be surprised if someone finds high bertensi anemic, or had someone bertensi high but less blood (anemia). The exception applies only to the lack of blood that is sudden and numerous, for example in the case of excessive bleeding during childbirth, heavy bleeding due to injuries resulting from traffic accidents; in these circumstances, large amounts of blood loss and a short time can make blood pressure go down. What we are talking about in relation to complaints head is anemia that occurs slowly and chronically.
Low tension, eating mutton / beef? WRONG!
Departing from public misconceptions about the causes of the complaints of the head, low blood pressure (hypotension) is also often believed to be the cause of dizziness or dizziness, or other chief complaints. It is complicated to the next misconception that lower blood pressure needs to be increased by eating mutton / beef, offal (organs in animals), egg yolk, and so on.
As a result of following the advice / suggestions are 'misguided', the cholesterol and blood fats will increase, thicken the blood, raising the tension. Most or almost all of those who follow this misguided suggestion does not feel his head repair complaints, because the increase in cholesterol and blood fats actually aggravate complaints were considered. The opposite happened; after eating mutton / beef or offal or egg yolk, chief complaints became more severe.
Increasing age is natural causes tension that makes us grow taller. Getting older, the higher the tension - certainly to some extent reasonable. In our country, people who as teenagers or young adults expressed bertensi low, will tend to maintain obsession or belief that he always bertensi low forever. If at the age / old high bertensi he stated, is usually concerned is difficult to accept; or to be able to accept the fact that the necessary debate with health workers / doctors stating hypertension.
Low tension does not cause complaints head; low blood pressure does not need to be raised.
7 Liming spinal area nape / neck
In human nape area, there are 7 vertebrae (vertebrae os). Because it is located in the area or the nape of the neck, vertebrae cervicales name. On the left and right sides of the spine row is - precisely from vertebra to vertebra to vertebra to-6-1, running each of the blood vessels (arteries) called the vertebral artery. The next blood vessels into the brain to the blood supply to part of the brain. Therefore, disruption of the blood vessel is automatically led to the complaints of the head. Disorder most commonly experienced is the calcification of the spine area nape / neck, Spondyloarthrosis Cervicales medical terms. This makes the vertebral artery calcification "choke", shrink in diameter, thus reducing the amount of blood to the brain. That is why the calcification of the spine area nape / neck often become one of the chief causes of complaint. Course of the disease in people aged, who have suffered bone loss and bone calcification.
Correctly Understand, Recognize and Avoid
It is still very much possible causes of the complaints of the head, and may not be discussed thoroughly one by one in this opportunity. High pressure in the head trauma caused by a tumor in the head or the head can also cause head complaints. The above description is only discusses some of the causes of the most frequent or most common.
If you or your family members often have complaints head, know in detail / detail the properties of the complaint; duration, intensity, complaints of side / aftershocks were there, and consider the possibilities (already discussed) above as the cause, including: food / drink what has been consumed in the last few days-especially in the last 24 hours; factor of exposure to cigarette smoke, and others.
Complete and detailed information so necessary to be discussed with your doctor, because it is very useful for you and your doctor to find the cause of the complaints of your head.
During the cause has not been revealed, drugs and medication tension headache / dizziness / headache will never solve the problem.
So, if you have a headache or dizziness, headache, squash-squash, or vertigo, or other chief complaints, do not blame the tension again. So whose fault? :-)

Hopefully this article can help remove the misunderstandings we had been complaints about the relationship between the head and tension; provide new understanding of the true causes of the complaints we often experienced heads, and realize that most of the heads of many complaints related to our life style and habits.
