Begitu Dekat

: Onyo

Hujan pun turun
Orang seperti kita yang terhitung jamak dan nampak kecil dari atas sini
perlahan memegang engsel pintu, membukanya sedikit lebih lebar dari beberapa hari yang sudah lewat
Selain angin, kabar burung mengenai hal-hal yang membawa sial dan aroma menyengat kaporit dari dasar kolam renang ikut terangkat
bercampur dingin AC, juga panggilan-panggilan yang tak terjawab

Kira-kira di bulan kedua, selepas menyaksikan tahun baru
juga lentik api
Menyerupai kembang-kembang mekar
cahaya berkilat dari kaca jendela
Kita mengintip, dari balik jaring-jaring gorden

Terompet dan nada dering ponsel meletup bersamaan
Di kaca jendela yang dingin
pertengkaran kecil dari sebuah DVD film bajakan terpantul
"Kita begitu dekat
mencengkeram leher dan punggung, menggigit daun telinga, mengecup kelopak mata yang didera kantuk"

Aku bangkit menuju kulkas, meraih botol kosong dan berembun
Kau menanak air hingga mendidih
Lalu menumpahkan sebagiannya ke mulut botol itu
Ketika sedang hening, tiktok jam menjadi lebih deras
berkelejatan, dan mengejang

Meski dijatuhkannya barang dari dalam bufet
Aku tetap khusyuk
menggamit kedua tanganmu dan panas yang terpencar

Kekasih, barangkali kau ingat
besok ada yang mesti dibangunkan pagi
lalu pulang setelah sore menggenap

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 ...
