Grinned From Ear to Ear

Hari ini sama seperti kemarin, hujan deras tanpa henti sampai malam. Saya bertandang ke rumah Omchef, sambil menyiapkan persiapan untuk tes di Rabu dan Kamis siang. Lumayan degdegan, bukan karena persiapan saya kurang matang, melainkan terlalu banyak pikiran aneh yang berloncatan dari kepala. 

Sambil menyusun rencana menu baru, saya dan Omchef terpikir untuk membuka gerai makanan baru secara online. Berbekal konsep PSBB dan harga yang masuk akal, kami mencoba mengukur kelebihan dan kekurangannya. Ternyata tidak gampang dan tidak sulit untuk menentukan konsep seperti apa menu yang akan kami pasarkan, lalu juga mengenai persiapan untuk membeli bahan-bahan mentah yang segar di pasar, serta mencocokkan jadwal antara saya dan Omchef. Sehingga setelah resmi dibuka nanti, hal-hal yang terjadi di luar dugaan dapat diminimalisir.

Ah tadi saat menyiapkan hal-hal untuk tes besok, saya minta Omchef main keyboard. Tidak ada alasan khusus, tapi bukankah akan menjadi sesuatu yang romantis kalau ditemani kekasih sambil memainkan satu atau dua lagu? Anyway, Omchef juga jago nyanyi lho! Cuaca yang dingin tiba-tiba menjadi hangat, meskipun di tengah-tengah lagu, Omchef sempat mengutak-atik kord. 

Lalu dilanjutkan makan malam yang sederhana. Lagi-lagi Omchef yang masak, saya hanya membantu menyiapkan perintilan kecil. Lalu setelah semuanya siap, tiba-tiba ponsel Omchef berdering, tanda pesanan pasta harus segera diterima dan dimasak. Padahal tadi kami sedang lapar berat. Untungnya pesanan yang masuk hanya dua porsi, jadi butuh kurang lebih delapan menit untuk menuntaskannya hingga diserahkan pada pengemudi ojek online. 

Sekitar jam sebelas malam, saya diantar pulang meski sebenernya saya masih pingin mengobrol banyak dengan Omchef. Well, terkadang hal-hal sederhana mengajarkan saya untuk lebih banyak mengapresiasi rasa, waktu, dan tenaga yang dikerahkan Omchef saat bersama saya. J'te remercie mon amour, à demain matin. Que l'univers nous bénisse toujours.

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

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 ...
