Kamu Bisa Apa?

 



Sebuah tanya keras sekali memeking di selusur kepala. Lalu kemudian aku cuma bisa tersentak, memikirkan dalam-dalam jawaban dari tanya yang bergema. Ku amati dengan seksama pantulan diriku di cermin, perasaan rendah berkecamuk segera. Belum terlalu renta, namun tak jua cukup muda. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Kali ini gemanya cukup keras. Cukup membuat sekujur tubuh lemas. Jawaban itu ada di antah berantah. Pantulan diriku terlihat tak terkendali. Kacau dan berantakan sekali. Apa ini potret diri tanpa filter dan riasan? Di sana sini penuh bekas borok. Sebagian bahkan belum sepenuhnya kering. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Gema suara itu laksana halilintar di tengah malam. Meraung di rapuhnya jiwa. Kini aku jadi muak sendiri melihat rupa diriku di cermin. Ku pejamkan mataku, menolak untuk melihat sosok yang ada di hadapanku. Tapi kupikir ini lah pantulan diriku yang sejujur-jujurnya. Tak satupun orang tahu. Lambat laun ku buka mataku lagi. Meski setengah bergidik, aku harus bisa menerima diri sendiri bukan? Ini lah aku. 


“Kamu bisa apa?”


Kali ini aku lebih berani ketika suara itu datang lagi. Lagipula aku sudah menemukan jawabnya.


“Aku tak berdaya, tak bisa apa-apa,” jawabku dengan lantang. Pasrah, ku biarkan diriku dikuliti sampai habis.


“Aku kalah,” pungkasku sambil menyerah.

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.

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 ...
