Jakarta

 By: Mohammad Zacky

What do you think when you hear the city of Jakarta? a very busy city with a bustle that never stops. It's not stranger to hear that Jakarta is the busiest city in my mind. Living in Jakarta is one of the gifts that God has given to me. The love Jakarta gave to me is like a mother who gives pain and affection to his child. It seems that through Jakarta, God gave me a witness that life is something that needs to be fought for.

I have been grown up, but Jakarta always teaches something that makes me feel like I'm not fully grown up yet. According to some people, living in Jakarta is a sin that makes people reluctant to make Jakarta a part of their journey. How it is for me, Jakarta is a place where some people find their lost self. Do you want to know the love of Jakarta? it gave me pain nonstop, but what actually happened was which made my heart feel more calm for dealing with the pain.

Jakarta is a hope that returns to some people. It is the hope that has been killed by the family and the feelings that make this city as mother in the eyes of some people. Jakarta makes us never give up pursuing what we dream of, unlike ourselves who often break those hopes. The frenzy of society makes some people feel that the hopes they have broken themselves are reborn. Do you know who kept me going? Jakarta

Talking about the people of Jakarta who have never been lost by time, who have never thought whether their souls will weaken when the city lights are turned on. Indeed, our hearts may doubt whether Jakarta is really our travel companion, but the city of Jakarta will not leave a warm story that keeps the soul alive in its hopes in this city of love.

The hope that was lost may not return, but Jakarta has always been a hope for everyone. A city that will not leave everyone behind, a city that does not know time and a city that is not weak knows that the city lights are getting brighter. Maybe jakarta according to some people is despair but for me jakarta is the one who saves me when I'm weak. Jakarta is still strong without me but I will not be strong without Jakarta.
