Being Old

I've stayed in the hospital for the last couple of days, taking care my dad had a nose bleed. Even a scary place like hospital can be so relaxing for me..

Cikini hospital is a unique type of hospital which very big and the only hospital which has no storeys but has a beautiful park to walk to..
As I sitting in a park bench, I start to write about a girl not yet a woman story... I looking at children chasing each other, play "masakan", running and circling.. listening to Ebiet G Ade songs through hospital speakers.. it's really view from heaven sent that situation for me at that time..

Meanwhile, I also notice a very old man, sitting on his wheelchair, and got nothing to do.. his wife pushed the chair and talkin to herself because I didn't see the old man response..
and as always, a question poppin up me mind.. where we gonna end up?
are we gonna end up healthy, with children and grand-childs, watched they grow older and live happily ever after?

Most of us are afraid of being old and do everthing to keep us away from ageing.. use tons of night creams, visit dermatologies to stretches our face and things you need to do to keep in shape..
for me, I don't really care so much of being old.. I really enjoyed and its supposedly a sign that we grew wiser and wiser everyday..
