the wishlist

When I opened my blog yesterday, I accidentally read my wish list tab and found out that about four (actually, five) wishes among eleven had become reality within six month.
I believe in the law of attraction though I don't always applied the law to almost everything around me. But here, once again it has proven to me to be true.
Thank the Almighty God for making the law works to me :D
It's been 6 month full of grace for me, and all because of Him.

Moon

when you looking for the meaning of my real name, you'll find "the moon" among the full meaning of it. My Javanese ancestor might call this moon goddess with many names, but here I'll call her specifically as "Ratri".

I incorporate the traditional cow-skin shadow-puppet style into this doodles, because I made this picture about a week after I got home from my holiday in Jogjakarta. If you ever seen me in person, you'll be agree that my skinny figure looks like a shadow puppet too :D

Me, lately............

a Black Cat named "Me"

There was a forest where every animal is colored white. even if they weren't born white, they paint their fur into white. everything was white, genuine and faux. A black cat named Kuro amused and wondering if she could live inside the forest too....
"..then you should paint yourself white, just like us here.." the snake said....

"...but why should I?" another black cat asked.
" That's because you'll ruin us all if you don't paint yourself white!" the hippo answered.
"what if we just want to be ourselves?"
" then you shouldn't befriends with us or staying in this forest!"
another white animal said.....

Noir was really sad..."I thought they could be my friends..."
"They didn't wanna be my friends too....so son't cry...." Kuro said to her.
Kuro and Noir became friend for each other,because the other animal in the forest thought they were bringing bad luck, and refused to be their friends...

They became good friends, but then came the day when they must choose the different path to go.
" You'll always be my friend, Kuro..." Noir said before she go.
"You too..." Kuro whispered.
Alone, Kuro walked through the path she had never know before....
Kuro had Noir as her friend, but from now on she must travel the road on her own....and secretly she feared of the loneliness, the pain, and the unknown road....

To conquer her fear she create an armored stronger version of herself, in which she hid and nursing her sad and broken heart.....she is safe inside the armor that looked tough, but the pain of being lonely and being an outcast are still there inside her.....

...until suddenly, one day, came a stranger that somehow seemed familiar, offering a helping hand.
" I won't hurt you, because I know how it feels like..." he said.
Kuro had never met anyone who treat her like this stranger do.

Kuro decided that she'll try to trust someone once more. She reach out to the hand, and somehow all of her armor and her other self disappeared....
"...now I can see the real you" the stranger smiled at her.
As long as she remembered, she never had a place that she could called "home". But strangely, inside this stranger's arm, she felt safe and happy to be herself.

" I will took care of you from now on...therefore, I'll give you this choker" he said.
"Why would I need a choker?" Kuro asked
The man smiled again at her and said,"...so that you'll remember you will always had a friend to live with now."

From then on, Kuro decide that this man is her master. Now she had a friend to go along on this unknown road ahead. Sometimes she still wearing her strong and cautious self to protect her master from anyhting they might stumble upon in this journey. But when Kuro is with him she could always show herself and being happy to be herself, a black cat that will never paint herself into white.
