Fly Me To The Moon

Well it took 2 hours long riding on a motorcycle, dari rumah ke antah berantah. Sekadar menikmati malam lebaran bersama pasangan. Dari dalam hati saya terus-menerus menyanyikan Fly Me To The Moon. Niatnya untuk mencari angin segar, sebab seharian ini kami puas beristirahat.

Bagi sebagian orang, dapat dikatakan ini hari libur. Tidak bagi saya, semalam sekitar pukul 23.00, tugas baru berdatangan di kotak masuk email. Berhubung mata kelewat mengantuk, saya kerjakan di pagi hari setelah berdandan à la Idul Fitri, yakni serba putih. Kebetulan itu warna kesukaan saya.

Ah anw, saya mau cerita. Satu minggu saya melipir ke official online store, berburu dress untuk dipakai pada saat lebaran. Ketika barang sampai, seperti biasa kebiasaan yang saya lakukan adalah mencuci dan menyetrikanya. Kesalahan terbesar saya adalah tidak mencoba memakai dress itu terlebih dahulu.  Berbekal percaya diri yang tinggi, langsung saja disimpan dalam lemari.

Datanglah saat yang ditunggu. Pagi-pagi saat saya pakai, ternyata belahan pinggir di bagian sisi kedua kaki terlalu tinggi. Mungkin dress ini untuk dipakai oleh yang bertubuh tidak terlalu tinggi. Solusinya adalah, saya mau tidak mau mengenakan Palazzo pants. Untungnya berwarna abu kebiruan, jadi cukup bagus untuk dipadupadankan dengan dress putih saya.

Untuk Om Chef, meskipun kita banyak melewati masa-masa sulit yang tidak pernah habis, mudah-mudahan segenap kebaikan semesta memayungi dan memeluk kita dengan mesra. Ti amo, more than koala loves eucalyptus, more than insect-eating birds love Rosella flowers.

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 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 ...

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 🤍
