Or start counting on your fingers\u2014what woman is as lucky as Kustrini? On her golden anniversary\u2014her 50th birthday\u2014Kustrini received a poetry book as a gift. Through this book, she found a love as deep as Qais for Laila and as grand as Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for Arjumand Banu Begum. Yes, like the Taj Mahal, this beautiful poetry book is titled <em>Merenda Hati (50 Poems for Wife).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hardi is no ordinary man in many ways. Even in matters of the heart, he is as disciplined as a samurai. &#8220;I deliberately compiled a number of poems I wrote between 1982 and 1986, more than 30 years ago. I kept these poems in a diary, a book I have carefully preserved,&#8221; Hardi wrote in the preface of this book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to scholars, 30 years ago was an era of romance and sentiment for Generation X (<em>Gen X \u2013 The Baby Bust<\/em>). A time when emails, chatting, and social media interactions were not yet imagined. Love messages and heartfelt longings were respectfully expressed in hard copy format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Consider Hasan Aspahani&#8217;s words in the book&#8217;s foreword: <em>He knew that in the afternoon, on that same bench, a sweet junior girl would sit in the same spot and receive the letter. This was an eternal modus operandi in a country where educational facilities were still inadequate, requiring classrooms to be shared in shifts. But from this, the earliest poems in this book were born, along with a poet who never cared about labels.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This book undoubtedly moved Cik Puan Kustrini, instantly transporting her back to the prime of her youthful infatuations. Tuan Hardi is indeed remarkable\u2014as a husband, a senator, and a poet of love. Even among the Hood lineage, he is recognized for his poetic stature by fellow poets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>&#8220;Even though I was famous and Hardi in Bandung had already heard of my exploits, I still realized that the true poet was Hardi.
