Momo I : The beginning of Momo

Since i started reading books,

Children book is the only one that i hardly touch. 

Don’t know why.

I love esop, cartoon but not a novel for children.

First one was Kappa. But the others had to say goodbye.

As “A little prince“.

Many people have read it a hundred time

but i just did it when i had to.

But who knows that a little prince had became the first lesson which taught me about friendship.

Why don’t i read it since 8 years ago??!!

The second one is Momo.

Six years ago, it was famous in my office.

Friends read that but i hardly looked at it.

Until one day i have found Momo in my real life.

No, not that little girl, Momo, came from the book to tell me to read.

But a real MOMO.

In a book, she’s a girl but momo i have met in real life is a young man.

I remember that day, we have talked about the world and people.

A co-incident meeting between two people which became a legend,

yeah it is.

A sudden friendship between two people and the others around us which became beautiful souls.

A different thought between two different ages but aim to the same target.

A time which we’re losing without knowing how quick it would meet the end.

An energy which was suck by people around us by touching us so close.

A travelling which has never been easy but the hardest has made us be a stronger.

A love which is all around has made us surprised how people could love each other easily.

A bond which can make us hurt if we do not tie it with a carrick bend.

Ending the conversation with a topic of a beautiful life which is less beautiful every single day.

Why the freedom is always walk pass in opposite side of the age? 

Something i understand, something don’t.

Then young man asked me “Have you every read Momo?”

“No, but i have heard”

“Why don’t you read?” (oh, boy. I don’t like children novel)

“Go for it. It’s a good book. Then you will understand … more.”

I might forget about it until the last day he said rapidly

“Don’t forget to read Momo by Michael Ende”

with the note in my book which said “A book you have to read!!!”

Ahhh… ok ok. I will find it.
