Tertunggu

Jam ini saya menunggu lagi. Sampai konser jantung segenggaman tangan saya ini, Sampai kebas lambung saya yang sedikit lebih besar dan sama-sama kembang kempis.
Saya pernah diceritakan (menguping) teman saya kalau hidup disini isinya cuma menunggu.  Bangun menunggu rasa ingin buang hajat, lalu menunggu air menghangat untuk mandi. Menunggu air meluncur di sela-sela daki. Menunggu rambut kering, menunggu nasi matang dam telur agak garing. Menunggu perut kenyang sambil menyuap nasi dan menunggu iklan selesai dan berita mulai. Kemudian menunggu hingga nada dering berakhir dan telepon tersambung. Menunggu hingga kaki sampai ke meja belajar. Menunggu hingga tidak lagi ngos-ngosan untuk memilih tumpukan diktat yang harus dibawa. Menunggu di trotoar, menunggu air mata melapisi lebih banyak mata yang kelilipan.
Dan itu baru jam 8 pagi. Bagaimana dengan jam-jam sibuk Anda? Dan apakah cuma saya atau cuma Anda yang menunggu jarum di jam analog berputar dua kali sempurna?
Oh iya, sekarang jam 8, setelah ratusan serial menunggu dari 12 jam yang lalu. Ayah sibuk. Ibu pula di dapur. Kakak magang. Adik tidak mau diganggu. Mbak yang suka bantu di rumah sebentar lagi dijemput travel pulang kampung.
Saya menunggu di halte, katanya sih 5 menit lagi. Eh itu!
Eh saya salah mobil! (Mobil memang benda pasaran)

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.
