SAKIT Ingatan

Seorang lelaki datang ke rumah pacarnya dengan teka-teki. Seorang perempuan berlari, ia berteriak sambil melempar sebuah kail pada semangkuk sup kekasihnya yang tinggal separuh. Seekor ikan berenang-renang di wajahnya. Seorang ibu menghitung jumlah bulan yang tidur di kamar suaminya. Seorang anak memukul teman perempuannya yang tak pandai menendang bola ke dadanya sendiri. Sambil menangis, ia pulang mengunci diri. Dibantingnya cermin yang berdiri. Diinjaknya lantai yang baru saja nyenyak tidur sehari. Seorang nenek yang menyaksikan cucunya yang marah itu tertawa geli namun akhirnya ia kalap. Seekor burung bangkai dilepaskan dari tubuh bangkainya yang hamper mati. selepas itu ia lepaskan tulangnya satu persatu, tulang ditubuhnya yang gemelutuk segera diganti. Seekor ular betina bertelur. Lima ekor anak mereka menetas bergantian. Namun di antara mereka yang malu-malu mengaku jadi ibu cuma satu. Lantaran si anak punya sepasang kaki. Lantaran si anak lelaki yang bicara dengan bahasa mesin dan pemotong bawang bertanya apa aku seorang wanita : subuh hari turun dari gundukan gunung dengan sebakul marmer yang digali dari prasangka : sebuah perasaan yang merambat diam-diam. Menghisap debu. Kepul ombak yang diterjang. Sesampir sajak dan sesajen masa panen di sebuah lumbung di mana tuhannya lebih dulu takut kekeringan ketimbang kematian. Atau sepasang burung pipit dan burung apa saja yang melihat awan siklik berkemas datang dengan sekantung kesakitan.

And I Said Yes, I Will

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
