(Not) A Real Man

Hello Readers,

How are you today. I hope you had a beautiful day :)

Well, today I want to share something to all of you. What's on your mind when i say the word ' real man ' ? What do you think a real man behaves?

always being nice...
speak and behave in manners...
never lie...
open the door for a lady....
pulled out chairs for a women...
do not mind holding a lift door for someone else...
willing to stand and give his seat to a woman, pregnant woman, or the elderly...

Well, I will not discuss all behaviour, only the last one.

Truly, a man ( the real one ) should give his seat to a woman in a bus. Especially, for the pregnant woman. But nowadays, many men don't even care about that manly thing. 

For example, today i took bus to Depok. It's a long way to get there, and the bus driver drive so slowly, so it takes maybe 1-1,5 hours to get to the place. And if you weren't lucky, you have to stand for hours. Luckily, i always get a seat because i took that bus from it departures, so the bus usually still empty.
But, there was a woman (pregnant woman) ride when the bus already full. I don't know there's a standing pregnant woman, because i was fell asleep when the bus ride. 

When the bus entering the highway gate, i awake. And then,  I saw the pregnant woman standing in front of me near the front door (fyi, i sit at the back of the bus). For the first time, i didn't realize that she was pregnant, but when i see her tummy, i knew that she was pregnant. Then, when she saw me, i called her to have my seat. I stood up and gave my seat to her. She says thanks to me. 

What makes me sad is, there are many young men were sitting and they knew there were a pregnant woman who stood in the bus. But they did not even bother to give their seat to her. Some even turn their heads pretending not see the woman. How ironic!

Were there no 'real man' left in the world? 

I just missed my grandpa. My mom told me that he was a real gentleman. He always open the doors (any doors; cars, house, etc) not only for his lovely wife but also for his daughters. He always gives a seat for the one who needed most (woman, elderly). Even though I never met him, I just knew that he was awesome! And fyi, he was one of Indonesians Hero. He was buried in Taman Makam Pahlawan Kalibata. I'm so proud of him!! So much!!

I hope, I can get a husband like my grandpa. A real man. Insya Allah. Aamiinn. :)

That was my sharing for today. Thank you for reading this post. Have a good day and good luck!
