Opa dan Masa Laluku

Pada malam Rabu, 9 Juni 2009 di rumahku..

Aku dan Raras sedang makan bihun rebus buatan mama yang sangaat.. lezat. Dengan sayuran, baso, sosis, mantap.
Opa atau kakekku sedang duduk memandang kami yang asyik makan. "Ehm.." Kakek berumur 65 tahun itu berdeham.
"Dulu waktu kamu di Tegal, kamu selalu minta jalan-jalan. eeh.. baru setengah jalan udah minta gendong.. hahaha.." katanya kepadaku diselingi tawa kami bertiga.
"Terus ada lagi. Waktu kamu kecil, setiap naik becak bareng Uti (nenekku), pasti suka teriak, 'OPAA...'" Lalu kami tertawa bersama.
Sayangnya sepertinya tidak ada cerita tentang Raras. Walau begitu, aku tetap senang, aku masih punya kakek yang menyenangkan seperti Opa dibalik badannya yang besar, dan kerjanya yang hanya duduk.
Setelah bihun rebus habis, kami mempersiapkan segala sesuatu untuk besok dini hari. Walaupun besok masih sekolah, tapi aku izin untuk pergi ke Jakarta sampai hari Minggu.

Sometimes you lose track of time when you're looking at everyone else's lives. Just like being in the supermarket.  Sometimes you lose track of time when you're in the supermarket. You're looking at the beauty of how things are organized well. You're looking at cute snacks or instant noodles, fancy looking utensils or various sheet masks. You're going through every corridor and every section but that's it. You're not going to buy anything. You're just admiring them. You even forget what you really need to buy. You even forget who you are going to the supermarket with and separate absently. Sometimes you lose track of time when you're looking at everyone else's lives because they are so perfect and beautiful to see. You're going through every person and every stories but that's it. You're not going to take any lessons for yourself to grow. You're just admiring them, and be jealous sometimes, or regretting your choices before. Y...

Truth or Dare

Been more than a year that I keep on hiding behind, literally, everything that I can see as shelter or coverage. It's like the secret will cause earthquake if spilled when the truth is it won't cause even a single movement of air. At some point, I feel like I could burst out because of this. I need someone to react to the secret. I keep talking to the air and myself in a quiet conservation, talking between the rain noises, talking to papers and then toss them away. At some point I feel like I want to be in a session of truth or dare game to be asked to tell the truth. Every time feels like not the right one. Every person feels like not the right listener. I feel so bad about this and it is a little weird that I'm hoping for a "bad" news as soon as possible so I can get over it. Please, pretty please, give me them bad news!! Thank you for reading my tedtalk everyone.
