Ku termenung di tengah sunyinya malam
Bersama suara diamnya angin
Terasa hembusan udara dingin
Yang memberikan seluruh tiupannya
Ku sentak terdiam...
Mengingat sebuah kisah cinta
Antara Kau dan Aku...
Di saat ku ukir tawa di wajahku..
Kau merasakannya..
Di saat sedih datang menyapa...
Kau hadir mengusir semua kesedihan itu...
Membuat hati ini nyaman berada di pelukanmu
Detik demi detik yang berlalu
Semakin teringat bayangmu di relung batinku
Terlihat jelas senyuman yang selalu kau beri padaku
Saat ini yang harus kau tahu...
Betapa aku merindukanmu...

The Perfect Husband
The Perfect Husband
There are several men sitting around in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone on one of the benches rings. One of the men picks it up, and the following conversation ensues:
"Hello?"
"Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
"Yes."
"Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It's absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?"
"What's the price?"
"Only $1,500.00."
"Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much ... "
"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2001 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he gave me a really good price ... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year ... "
"What price did he quote you?"
"Only $60,000 ... "
"OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
"Great! But before we hang up, something else ... "
"What?"
"It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we had looked at last year. It's on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property ... "
"How much are they asking?"
"Only $450,000 - a magnificent price ... and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover ... "
"Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $420,000. OK?"
"OK, sweetie ... Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
"Bye ... I do too ... "
The man hangs up, closes the phone's flap, and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those present: "Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?

Payment (Nasreddin Hodja)
~ Payment ~
A woodman was carrying a sack full of chopped wood on his back. His sack was heavy and filled beyond its limit. The man, bent under his bulky burden, was struggling not to drop any of the wood pieces as he walked. However, the poor man couldn't avoid tripping over a stone on the road and half of his load fell out of their precarious pile. Another man happened to be passing by and saw the mishap.
`If I load those fallen pieces of wood back into your back sack, what would you give me?' he asked.
`Nothing.' said the man carrying the wood.
`That's acceptable.' agreed the other man. He collected all the chopped wood scattered on the road and crammed them back into the sack of the woodman. When done, he asked for his payment. The woodman was baffled.
`I told you, I would give you nothing.' he said.
`Yes. And that's what I want. Nothing.' said the other, `Give me my nothing!'
After some quarrel, the two men decided to let the kadi solve their problem. Nasreddin Hodja was on duty at the time. He listened to both men earnestly. Then he addressed the man who was expecting his payment of nothing.
`My dear fellow, could you please lift the far right corner of that rug on the floor and check what is underneath?' The man did as he was told and looked under the rug.
`What do you see?' asked the Hodja.
`Nothing.' said the man.
`Well, take it and go home.' commanded the Hodja, `That is your payment!'
