Jangan Berhenti Berjalan

Days went by and I just realized that since I quit my job as a “part-time shoulder to cried on”, no distraction coming along the way. It’s obviously the thing I look for in life since I was a bit off the track, a year back then.
Over time I realized that now it’s so important to reconnect myself with me and to keep walking regardless of what would happen.

I was talking to a friend of mine, who technically quit his job as “part-time shoulder to cry on” as well. We both agreed to be more disciplined and not easily heading back to the point where our heart hurts the most.
When you had someone who shared the similarity and been through the same path of life as you did, the decision making is a bit of wiser. Although the principle of decision is always on both of your hands, but one thing that all of us need to endeavor is to learn to make good, quick and accurate decisions.

There’s a time where I starred at mirror, I saw an image of man crying over the fact that he was lost. Lost in translation. The man who looked graceful in the eyes and once said he would never sweat the small stuff. But somehow, what do I expect to be? Look at where I was, why am I here? Where have all the passions gone? Could I still see myself beneath all the superficial things I’m dealing with now?

I had to face the fact that I suck being a boyfriend to my ex. I don’t play well, I tried too hard, my sense of care went downhill and my focus was all scattered. I looked at myself in the mirror once again, and I asked myself. I was devastated by the fact that I have been lost along the way. Along the way of trying to find myself, I came to dead end.

But then again, after all the things I’ve been through, after all the heartaches, after being lost in a world of lost people, I found myself with goose bumps, in front of my laptops writing and keep on writing.

The thing I’ve learned, jangan berhenti berjalan.

Undecided

When your life is in question and you're facing a real dilemma. You may be the one who is deciding should you stay or should you go. I feel like I need to get rid of this thing and yet how can I be sure?

Probably I have to got to find a way to put stop to this. Maybe this is all a dream and when I wake up things will be back to normal.

If I had known then what I know now, I would never have waited so long, especially since I would have been able to recognized the signs that it was long past time.

It's a best to keep a distance so I won't go through the same chapter again, maybe.

It doesn’t give any meaning by now

Sudah sekian lama rasanya aku tidak meluahkan minat dalam bidang sastera menerusi bentuk penulisan, apatah lagi yang melibatkan bahasa lidah sendiri. Bener kata manusia sekeliling, we work better under pressure. Karena pressure yang menusuk sehingga ke modula oblongata ini yang mendorong tangan-tangan kecil ku untuk petah berbicara.

Kesempatan melawat Jogja tempoh hari memang aku guna puas-puas untuk ke toko buku berdekatan. Jogja memang di kenali dengan hasil seni khususnya dari segi sastera penulisan. Teriak aku kuat-kuat tatkala mendapatkan beberapa judul buku yang selari dengan naluri diri ketika ini.

Jadi, sore tadi aku belek-belek hasil tuaian. Sambil meletakkan beberapa kepingan cookies ke dalam piring leper berserta air daun hijau panas, aku melayan sejenak perasaan. 

Apa yang berbeda ketika ini, jiwa aku tidak terikut-ikut akan hasil penulisan mereka. It doesn’t give any meaning by now. 

Memang bener, masa akan merubah segalanya. Dahulu, ternyata aku tak termampu melawan tuntutan alam , lalu hanyut bersama perasaan minda.

Beberapa purnama sudah berlalu, musim tak menunjukkan tanda-tanda akan kembali. Biar ia jadi kenangan, seperti apa yang aku selalu pinta.

Weekend Conversation

Weekend conversation with a friend of mine:

F: How's ya weekend?
Me : Nothing much, head to the city. Catch latest movie alone and photographed things around.

F: There's probably a much!
Me : *Goofy Emoji* and yours?

F: Went out of the city and had a coconut milkshake. We had fun!
Me : Who's "we"?
F: Why?
Me : I know you feel like you finally belong, but that isn't the point.You won't be there long!

F: What do you mean?
Me : Wait, so who's that we exactly?
F: I'm waiting something interesting to happen.
Me : This is your problem, that you should solve! (considering the fact that he dated so many people in the past)

F : Well, I guess I'm doing better than you.
Me : What's about me?
F : Waiting something to be happened, at least I'm find my way to it.
Me : another *Goofy Emoji*

F : So you messed up, still messed up.
Me : It's a little bit bigger than messing up.
F : Then what? Then whatever blew up these entire months? There's always a bad story in relationship.
Me : I wasn't in relationship!

F : And the worst is, you're so eager to belong, you even forget why you're here.
Me : I knew that person would come, but I swear I didn't know so soon.

Hari Bosan

Setiap dari kita berbeza pendapat mengenai satu ikatan. Begitu juga kau dengan aku.

Bagi aku, definasi ikatan adalah untuk bersama dengan aku ketika hari-hari bosan. Jika kau bersedia menerima ruang bosan yang aku cipta, jadi aku bersedia untuk meletakkan kau ke dalam ruang itu.

Juga bagi aku ikatan dapat di terjemahkan kepada companion. Sudah aku buang jauh-jauh ego aku di saat aku meletakkan kau ke dalam priority list.

Dan yang paling utama, untuk membawa kau kepada dunia pengembaraan aku. Kau juga mengerti akan taksubnya aku untuk keliling satu dunia. Jika kau ikut serta, banyak pengalaman hidup yang akan kita belajar dan kutip.

Mungkin pada satu hari kau akan datang dan bertanya pada ku, apa rencana kita hari ini?

Aku hanya akan menjawab ‘I just want to sit on the couch and having lemonade with you’

Karena hari-hari bosan aku tidak akan bosan karena kau. Karena rutin hidup yang terikat antara kita.

Mudah bukan?

Jangan Sungguh-Sungguh

Aku malas berpikir.

Karena apa yang menjadi rungsing kemungkinan berpunca dari aku yang selalu terlebih berpikir.

Aku cemburu menjadi kamu.

Yang kelihatan mudah dan bersahaja.

Bahkan sejak hari pertama juga kau seperti tidak merasai akan anjakan yang aku perolehi.

Kau lupa.

Anjakan ini yang kau cipta dulu.
Anjakan ini juga yang berikan pada aku.
Anjakan ini juga harapan yang kau janjikan dulu.

Mungkin benar kata sesetengah dari kita.

Jangan sungguh-sungguh dengan mereka yang anggap kau biasa-biasa.

Jadi aku ambil keputusan untuk pergi walau kau kelihatan seperti mau meneruskan.

Jika kau berniat mau aku bahagia seperti apa yang kau selalu ungkapkan, kau juga harus pergi.

Pergi dan jangan pernah untuk kembali.

RIN

Aku tau saat itu kau telah membenarkan aku berada di hati kau.

Bahkan, kau admit, I’m happy!

Happy setelah pertemuan pertama kita tadi.

Selang beberapa hari, kau mengirim pesanan, Rin,ketika aku sudah hanyut di buai mimpi.

Mungkin ini diri kau.

Gemar menyembunyikan apa yang terbuku di hati.

Bahkan, pernah beberapa kali kau memberitahu yang kau rindu padaku, mesti bukan perkataan rindu itu sendiri kau catitkan.

Can I call you right before and after my sleep? Pinta kau padaku pada suatu malam.

Itu tandanya kau rin padaku.

Hebat, karena kau bisa menyembunyikan perasaan kau terhadap ku.

Tapi aku lagi hebat, karena aku bisa membaca perasaan yang kau cipta itu.
