Dari Miss Bucyin Untuk Om Chef

Singkat cerita Om Chef telat masuk kitchen hari ini karena semalaman hujan deras Dan sekitaran kami yang turut banjir. Memang belakangan kalau sedang hujan, turunnya bisa berjam-jam, dari malam hingga pagi, dan disertai angin kencang. Sekitar pukul enam pagi kami turun ke bawah memeriksa kedalaman air, ternyata sebatas lutut orang dewasa. Dapat disimpulkan jika Om Chef memaksa jalan, air akan masuk ke mesin. Akhirnya kami putuskan untuk menunggu beberapa waktu sampai air mulai surut. Sampai pukul sembilan, ternyata keadaan belum berubah. Dalam posisi perut lapar, kami putuskan untuk jalan sebentar menerobos banjir untuk mencari kedai bakmi yang mau buka saat darurat.

Seratus meter pertama semua toko dan kedai makanan tutup. Bahkan pemiliknya ikut memantau kondisi air agar tidak masuk ke dalam rumah. Lalu kami putuskan berjalan lagi, barangkali akan menemukan satu atau dua kedai makanan yang menjual sarapan. Dua ratus meter lebih kami berjalan kaki akhirnya menemukan satu warung tegal. Buru-buru kami ke sana karena kebetulan setelah berendam kaki di tengah banjir membuat kami kedinginan dan makin lapar.

Terbesit dalam hati untuk bilang ke Om Chef, "Udah Ay, hari ini off dulu." Om Chef langsung komentar, "Sebisa mungkin hari ini harus berangkat karena tanggung jawab terhadap satu maskapai. Paling masuknya siang dan pulang malam, terus langsung lanjut tidur."

Yes! Hidup terasa simple jika usai mengerjakan kewajiban, kita bisa langsung istirahat. Ah satu hal yang terlewat saat saya tanya kenapa harus kerja kalau kondisinya sedang banjir dimana-mana. Om Chef spontan menjawab, "Biar bisa beliin kamu mendoan." Lol, bisa-bisanya melawak saat sedang dagdigdug begini.

Hari-hari kami dilewati layaknya seperti dua sejoli lain dilanda bucin. Ketika sedang off, kami hanya bersua selama beberapa jam saja. Tidak heran kalau Om Chef mau pulang, saya langsung sedih. Pinginnya dipeluk erat  dan tukar pikiran lebih lama. Ketika sedang konflik dan berselisih paham, saya bersyukur masing-masing dari kami tidak lari dan bahkan saling diam. Betul bahwa tidak hanya Om Chef, melainkan juga saya melakukan ritual introspeksi diri, memperbaiki apa yang masih kurang, dan apabila emosi terlalu meluap, kami mencoba mempertimbangkan banyak hal agar masing-masing tidak dibombardir dan dikecewakan.

--Om Chef jangan kapok ya untuk lebih sering menjenguk Missmut yang Bucyin ini meskipun dari segi jarak, ditempuh kurang lebih satu jam. Semangat ya Om Chef. Masih banyak tempat-tempat yang menantikan kita juga perjalanan kita selanjutnya. Ti amo, mucho!

Tabik!

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
