BERTAHAN MENCINTAI SESEORANG YANG SUDAH PERGI,

Hal paling menyedihkan dalam hidup ialah bila kau bertemu seseorang

lalu jatuh cinta hanya kemudian pada akhirnya menyadari bahwa dia

bukanlah jodohmu dan kau telah menyia-nyiakan bertahun-tahun untuk

seseorang yang tidak layak. Kalau sekarang ia sudah tidak layak 10

tahun dari sekarang pun ia juga tak akan layak. Biarkan dia pergi,

lupakanlah.. ….

Teruntuk ,

YANG INGIN MENGUASAI,

Hatimu patah melihat yang kau cintai berbahagia dengan orang lain,

tapi akan lebih sakit lagi mengetahui bahwa yang kau cintai ternyata

tidak berbahagia denganmu

Teruntuk yang…….. .

TAKUT MENGAKUI,

Cinta menyakitkan bila kau putuskan hubungan dengan seseorang tapi

lebih sakit lagi bila seseorang memutuskan hubungan denganmu, tapi

cinta paling menyakitkan bila orang yang kita cintai sama sekali

tidak mengetahui perasaanmu terhadapnya.

Dipetik dari Majalah Mandailing, 1920an

Dalam perjalanan menjelajahi pulau Sumatra, Iskandar Muda sampai berhubungan dengan seorang gadis bunian, yang melahirkan seorang anak lelaki untuknya.” Anak tersebutlah kemudiannya ditemukan Sutan Pulungan di tengah hutang sedang ia berburu.

Makamnya Si Baroar, leluhur marga Nasution di Panyabunga

Kisah tentang Si Baroar sangat meyakinkan bagi masyarakat Mandailing karena sekitar pertengahan abad yang lalu kisah tersebut telah dituliskan oleh Willem Iskander (1840-1876) dalam buku karangannya berjudul Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumpuk-Rumpuk. Buku tersebut yang ditulis dalam bahasa Mandailing dipakai untuk bacaan di sekolah-sekolah sampai pada masa awal kemerdekaan Indonesia.

Hati itu sesuatu yang tulus, ikhlas dan bersih.

Cinta akan terasa indah saat kita bisa mencintai seseorang dengan tulus dan seseorang yang dicintai juga mencintai kita seperti kita mencintainya.

Namun keindahan cinta itu tidak akan hilang bila cinta tak berbalas

Karena cinta adalah pengorbanan yang tulus, ikhlas dan bersih.
