~~*-*~~DIBALIK PAHITNYA JAMBU MERAH~~*-*~~

Pada sebuah teras rumah, ada seorang gadis manis. Dia menggerutu lirih,
"Sepertinya aku selalu merepotkan kakak-kakakku saja," desahnya.
"Begitu juga aku sering merepotkan orang lain," sambungnya.

Kemudian gadis kecil ini membayangkan sederet artis idola yang pernah dilihatnya di televisi.
"Mereka manis-manis dan hebat, aku ingin seperti mereka."
"Seandainya bisa, aku ingin menjadi salah satu dari mereka," sambungnya lirih.

Tanpa disadari, kebetulan ada seorang kakaknya yang sedang berada di balik jendela mendengarnya.
Mendengar suara itu, sang kakak lalu menghampiri adiknya. Kemudian diberikannya sebuah jambu dan sebuah permen pada adiknya itu.
"Adikku, makanlah jambu merah ini," kata kakaknya.
Lalu jambu merah itu dimakan oleh sang adik.
"Gimana rasanya jambu itu dik?" tanya sang kakak.
"Rasanya sepet kak," jawab si adik.
"Walaupun sepet, tapi kamu suka kan?"
"Iya kak."

"Selain dirimu, di luar sana masih banyak puluhan bahkan ribuan orang yang suka dengan jambu merah ini. Ingat walaupun rasanya sepet," kata kakak.
"Nah, begitu pula perihal dirimu dik. Dirimu itu ibarat sebuah jambu merah kamu mungkin rasanya sepet. Walaupun engkau merasa dirimu merepotkan kakakmu, dia akan tetap menyukaimu, menyayangimu. Di luar sana masih ada puluhan orang atau bahkan ratusan orang yang kamu kenal akan tetap menyukaimu dengan rasamu yang sepet itu," jelas sang kakak.

"Jadilah dirimu sendiri, engkau tidak perlu menjadi permen agar terlihat manis," ujar kakanya sembari menunjuk permen yang dipegang adiknya.
"Walaupun permen ini rasanya manis, banyak ibu-ibu yang nggak suka anaknya makan permen. Kakak kira bukan ibu-ibu saja, banyak orang dewasa yang tidak suka makan permen," imbuh kakaknya.
"Tetaplah menjadi jambu merah bagi kakakmu ini, karena pasti orang tidak akan melarang kita menyukai sebuah jambu," ujar kakanya sambil memeluk adiknya.

"Aku yakin, suatu saat nanti, waktu dan pengalaman yang akan mematangkan pribadimu," nasehat sang kakak.
Si adik sangat terharu mendengar nasehat kakaknya. Mereka berdua saling tersenyum lirih.
Lalu, sambil tertawa riang, mereka berlari keluar halaman untuk bermain di lapangan dekat rumahnya.
