Suatu Hari

Dear Ms Mut

Ketika di depan sudah ada
- laptop dan kamera
- radio dan oldies mancanegara
- buku-buku bagus dan kursi baca
- spidol dan kertas berukuran A3
- sepasang running shoes dan legging hitam
- bluder, serundeng ikan gabus, dan ikan gabus bumbu kemiri
- air mineral dan setoples sugary biscuits
- aroma terapi dan gemericik air kolam
- body butter dan kimono berbahan satin
- lipstick merah dan kacamata
- pipi yang lembut dan angin di sekitar yang bergerak, sejuk dan menentramkan
- perabot bergaya mid century dan segelas susu vanilla yang hangat

Selain yang disebutkan di atas, itu bukan dunia saya. Akan lebih komplit jika rumah dalam keadaan sepi dan tenang. Biarkan ibu, ayah, dan adik-adik menghabiskan akhir pekan di luar, tapi saya cukup di rumah saja, menyibukkan diri dengan hal-hal menyenangkan sambil menikmati menit-menit yang berlalu secara perlahan. Sewaktu mengantuk, saya tidak perlu beranjak kemana-mana. Cukup menarik selimut sulaman, sedikit merebahkan tubuh di kursi baca; inilah posisi tidur siang kesukaan, sambil menanggalkan sejenak ambisi dan peluh untuk satu minggu ke depan.

Ah, seandainya Nenek dan Oma di sini. Tidak mesti duduk di sebelah saya, cukup di ruangan lain tapi saya masih dapat sesekali memerhatikan mereka yang tengah asik membaca, mengenakan kaos kaki dan kacamata berlensa bulat dan tebal. Barangkali pads dimensi yang lain, kita akan berjumpa.

/kupejamkan kedua mata, menarik dan menghembuskan napas, kemudian berkata dalam hati, "yang terjadi ketika kau mati ialah orang-orang yang menyayangimu, kelak merindukanmu."/

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 ...
