ALBUM FOTO

Rain's Rustle
An oil painting by Leonid Afremov
Aku tak menuntutmu pulang malam begini
Di luar angin berkejaran sekencang mungkin
Menampar daun jendela
Mengibaskannya hingga jauh terpelanting

Aku terbaring sendirian
Menatap layar monitor yang tidak begitu lebar
Sambil sesekali mengganti aplikasi
Dari sekadar Microsoft Word 
Kemudian berselancar di mesin pencari
Dan berakhir di Photoshop

Aku menemukan kita 
Tertumpuk di antara file tak bernama
Hanya tertera angka
Lalu Algoritma yang bekerja secara rahasia
Menyusun dengan acak nol satu nol satu 
Dan seterusnya, begitu katamu

Lembar demi lembar ditampilkan

Ceritanya seperti ini
Ketika masih kerap bermalam di luar
Di koridor lantai dua sebuah kedai makanan cepat saji
Kita duduk
Dan berdua saja

Aku mengubahnya ke dalam gambar hitam putih
Menyingkirkan yang tidak perlu terekam 
Kecuali sepasang senyuman
Semanis gulali

Kita bersandar di antara keheningan

Coba bayangkan sesekali
Malam selalu hujan 
Bulan dan bintang berseliweran tanpa henti
Di musim yang menggairahkan seperti ini
Apalagi yang dapat kita lakukan
Selain saling mendekap
Dan berharap esok berjumpa lagi

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...
