Mitsalina M Hafizh our eyes were swollen from crying, on that farewell day
At that gloomy morning, 07 March 2017, I heard such a bad news when I just arrived in the office. My dad passed away. I couldn’t remember a lot of things that day, but I remember that the one who directly strengthen me was him. No words. He just kept silent and gave me time to cry alone in his cubicle. His eyes told me its okay, you can cry here now. After seeing me getting better, he drove the car by himself for about 2.5 hours to take me home with some of my friends. He chose to drive by himself rather than ordering office’s driver. On the next day, I realized that after I lost my dad, I got a person that same like a father in this world. If I could repeat the time, I wish I could say more thankful and appreciation word for him, Mr. Eko Purboyono. He is not just a leader, but also a father of my ex team. I would share one important point lesson from him, that is : treat human humanely, wherever and whenever. We don't know what other people are facing right now and how hard of the process they are going through, so at least we don’t make them feel harder. Don't judge persons by splitting who is the good one and who is the bad one, because actually everyone in this world has both sides. Whether someone is good or bad is essentially Allah's secret, because we don't know which people will be husnul khotimah and who won't. So, we can’t judge people just by looking how they are now. People can come and go, but the good ones leave footprints in the heart. And you know? His footprints are still exist. See you another time, Sir.
