MEMBIARKAN ATAU TIDAK MEMBIARKAN




Pesanmu berjalan jauh. Ketika yang kau tutup rapat cuma pintu, aku mesti menangis pada hujan yang turun menggumpal, mesti mematok pisau pada trali jendela yang baru terkelupas. Aku ingin bagaimana jika caramu mengunci rapat, adalah mengunci yang tidak baik, yang luput dari sebotol pil diare . Aku ingin kau mengunci pintu rapat dengan setan-setan golok yang memenuhi kepalamu. Rumah ini lebih ringan dari segala dosa yang kita coba hapus tadi malam. Waktu tidak pernah terlambat memasukkan kosa kata baru ke dalam tubuh anginnya, ke wajah bintangnya

Dan kepala yang dituntun merapat ke wajah pintu, barangkali cuma tembok yang memantulkan silau pagi, air yang menggenang di ujung mata, udara yang disadap oleh tanganmu.

Aku bayangkan lima menit lalu semenjak jantungku melepaskan uratnya satu persatu, aku bayangkan ubin-ubin di depan yang kau tinggalkan bagai nyeri yang terus sakit - menjelaskan ombak seperti perahu yang tenggelam di kilang cuaca,  dan aku belajar menikmatinya hingga kukulum darah, kepergian yang kau banting, dan menyaksikan partikel debu terkecil menggeliat manja, meringkuk tubuhku ke dalam hening dan surga, maka aku saksikan pula kemana aku mesti menyerahkan jantungku, mengingat jalan melemas memerhatikanmu dan segalanya telah menjadi arah.

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 ...
