Lifestyle The Diary Game // Simple happiness is seeing my daughter smile

accompanying my daughter to play the odong-odong ride

Tonight, cool air enveloped the area around Simpang Rangkaya. In the midst of the night crowd filled with the sound of children's laughter, colorful lights and typical children's music flowing from the odong-odong, my little family and I spent a very meaningful time. Our little daughter with sparkling eyes full of enthusiasm, couldn't wait to ride the odong-odong that usually goes around the intersection.

By paying only 5,000 rupiah, my daughter can ride the odong-odong as much as she wants. For some people, this might be a normal thing, but for me, especially for my little daughter, this is a source of extraordinary happiness. She laughed and waved her hands from the top of the odong-odong, occasionally screaming happily when the vehicle stopped and then started again accompanied by a cheerful song. My wife and I could only smile while capturing moments like this with my cellphone camera.

It was amazing to see how the simple right of riding a odong-odong could bring so much joy to my daughter. No expensive toys, no electronic entertainment and just a rotating vehicle with colorful lights and cheerful music, but our daughter's laughter was so genuine and irreplaceable. I realized this was a small moment that would become a beautiful memory in our memories as parents.

Time passed without us realizing it, and he continued to play with unwavering enthusiasm until we finally asked him to go home because it was getting late. Although a little reluctant, he finally nodded with a smile that was still blooming, indicating that this night was really fun for him.

Then we went home with a grateful heart. With only a small cost, we were able to give laughter and sweet memories to our little girl. This simple moment taught us that happiness does not always have to be expensive. The most important thing is togetherness, attention, and love that we present in every step of her growth and development.
