SILK

Silk: a design work by Sarah Al Hanifah

Central Jakarta, 31 August 2023

My child's mother said “you are worthy of love. Your existence is not a sin that drives human opinion. You are worthy of all love in this world because you were allowed by God to be present."

I believed in her words because she never failed to put my mind at ease. Just her. Yes.

I also believe in the irony that runs through my life. Lies that always show the appearance of a sinner, they believe them. Some of them realized through connected hearts, and said, "You are a sinner who brings the heat of hell to the people who are with you. You're not worthy, why were you allowed to attend? You just hurt people without stopping. Stop, you're not worth it."

Hahaha, damn, I believe it too.

Her face was so beautiful with silky smoothness, and the most special thing was that she looked at me with a gaze full of light and a sincere smile that curved wide on her lips. One thing I am most proud of myself is making her the mother of my child. Perfect.

I don't want to wake up.

When I woke up, everything was just an illusion that I used as a goal in life. A belief, I believe that day will come and hug me then say "you're okay, I'm here". And she always says in my sleep "You Are Loved"
