Kereta Takdir

Kereta takdir menjemput aku yang terserang lelah akut.

Tiba-tiba aku ada di penghujung tahun. Aku harus menutup segera apa yang disebut rutinitas. Aku harus rehat untuk memulai kembali. Mungkin semesta ingin aku rebah sejenak. Tak tahu dibawa kemana oleh Sang Masinis. Aku tak ingin membakar harap, aku takut terbakar.

Aku sudah pernah tertatih menempuh garis hidup, meregang pada kerasnya terpaan badai, hampir usai tertelan gelap. Tapi lagi-lagi aku mencapai titik terangku sendiri sembari menopang tubuhku sendiri.

Aku belum renta, aku masih lah sebuah kuncup yang hampir mekar. Tapi di pundakku diletakkan banyak harapan orang-orang yang menopangku selama ini. Aku harus bisa menopang mereka kelak, karena aku adalah tumpuan harap mereka.

Aku tak tahu harus mempersiapkan gelak tawa atau tangis di depan. Karena di masa perehatan ini semuanya serba kelabu, semuanya serba misterius. Jadi aku menanti saja, sambil menikmati bekal bekas kemarin.

Aku baru terbentur sedikit pun belum penuh terbentuk. Mungkin di masa yang akan datang, jika aku diizinkan melihatnya, aku musti terbentur keras.

Di kereta takdir ini, sebenarnya banyak aroma intensi menyeruak, tapi aku lebih memilih menghirup parfumku yang berona lelah. Aku masih mencerna sembari merenungi dulu kisah-kisah yang baru saja ataupun telah lampau ku alami. 

Kereta takdir melaju lamban, aku pasrah ditawan waktu. Kereta takdir membawaku ke aroma rindu, aroma yang aku hindari karena tak ingin didekap pilu terlalu lama. 

Lalu aku terpaksa menghirup rindu itu, rindu yang menyiratkan pilu, pilu yang mendatangkan hujan di langit kelabu.

Benakku berserakan di segala penjuru kereta ini. Aku kelimpungan sendiri memperbaiki diri. Segala memori temu dan pisah terputar bagai kaset film.

Aku lalu bertanya lagi pada diriku. Diriku yang dulu melempar sumpah serapah pada rutinitas yang menjenuhkan ini. Diriku yang ingin sekali membuang jauh hari-hari ketika aku harus bersentuhan dengan segala macam kesatuan dari rutinitas. Bukankah ini yang aku inginkan dulu? 

Memberhentikan rutinitas ternyata sama saja seperti menghilangkan seperdelapan bagian jantungmu. Ada seperdelapan degup yang tertinggal di tempat yang kemarin ku jajaki.

Kepada semesta, mari bekerja sama. Aku ingin terbentuk lagi dan lagi

Kepada si waktu, semoga kamu membawakanku madu

Norwegian Wood

The place we used to hangout Pic of me was taken by him     For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesn’t begin at all.  ―  Haruki Murakami,  Norwegian Wood I agree with that statement. As of now, I'm feeling it too, starting to love someone since the first time he told me that Norwegian Wood is his favorite Beatles song. The more I discover about him, the more my affection grows. His manner of speaking, his thoughts, the way he treats me, his talents, style, hair, laughter, soft snores, voice, dreams, taste in music, choice of books, idols, art—every facet of him captivates my heart. Have you ever felt such a strong liking for someone that your chest hurts? That's how I feel about him. I don't know how to describe it, but my feelings are undeniable. But, on the one hand, there's a fear lingering within. Some say beauty fades quickly, and I worry about the possibility of him slipping away one ...

Two Weeks Since We Break: From Vinka’s Pov

Oct 9 I’m beginning to believe that I'm crazy, unworthy of love, and scary. Like an unwanted fetus, what should I expect? I don't belong in this world. Thank you for the lessons. You made me feel alive for at least 6 and a half years, you added colors to my life, you were my oxygen. Sometimes I still cry. I'm sorry. Oct 10 Still, everything reminds me of you, in both my busy hours and free time. All my friends convince me that it's all your fault. But all I want is to bring you back. Will you come back? Oct 11 My friend told me that I'm different now, my eyes look sad and miserable. I feel you getting closer to her, and here I am, getting sadder. My friends tell me I should focus on myself and be happy. But all I want to do is reach you, be in your arms. Oct 12 This is the girl you left and called crazy. She's still trying to figure out what happened and gather all her confidence. By the way, I went to the places we used to go. Everything reminds me of you. I ca...

Dear Cewek Kikuk dan Pemalu

Thanks a million for snatching somebody else's boyfriend and sliding past the 'just friends' zone. You're a maestro in wrecking relationships, and after the break-up, you manage to cozy up even closer to him. You know, your casual gift of a selfie pic and playlist to someone else's boyfriend was such a nice touch. You should be commended for shattering my dreams and my heart, really, bravo! How does it feel now, basking in the satisfaction of seeing me torn, pleading, while he pushes me away and rushes to your defense? And for staying so quiet, trying to snatch his attention. So somebody's boyfriend can take you out and become your personal videographer. How sweet! Congratulations, Desss ! You've successfully bagged my great lost love, my whole universe, and my future. He was everything to me. How's it feel to be the belle of the ball, the boyfriend-stealer? Oh, the shy girl with sly tricks. Yet, he keeps defending you like a loyal knight and shoving me ...
