its just like there is an unfinished business between us. we barely talk to each other anymore since that day. we never see each other as well. you live your life and i live mine. are you happy with your life? because i am - i really am. are you better off without me? i couldn't really remember why we ended up this way. its a pity. i honestly just wanna make peace with myself. and with you.
(some night, some place, some time)
i sometimes imagine how life would be if i had you in my life. would it be better? would i be happier? and with you by my side, would life be easier? or would it be too complicated for both of us? what do you feel? what do you think? don't tell me, i think i know the answer - at this very moment, i have the best i ever had. and i couldn't ask for more.
(some feeling at some evening in a pouring rain)
are you real? are you a permanent thing? or just some temporarily regulars? you don't have the answer and i don't either because nobody knows. all we know is that we are happy about the way things are, about the summer that will come very soon. its simple, its easy - just like a cup of coffee outside a cafe on a sunny day. and with you, i know what i wanna be : be better for any sake.
(seem to be a conclusion)

tanggal cantik
itu kata hampir semua orang tentang hari ini. gw jamin jalanan Jakarta macet dan semua gedung fully booked karena banyak yg nikahan. dan semua dokter kandungan lembur karena banyak yg lahiran. for me, its just an ordinary day just like every other day. its windy and cloudy, just like it should be in November.
kenapa banyak orang milih tanggal cantik buat nikah dan melahirkan anaknya? they said because its special and easy to remember. but hey. you've been pregnant for 9 months, carrying your baby in your tummy every second in those months, so how could you forget when exactly they were born? my grannie has 6 children, she is 71 years old now and still can remember clearly what day what time her kids were born. whats wrong with mommies nowadays? and hey you newly weds. this is the day when you said I do to each other, followed with sugar sweet promise till death do us part. this is your day for God's sake! impossible to forget unless you are a goldfish who only has a 30 seconds memory. not being cynical here, I just don't get the idea. but that's none of my business anyway.
hmm. gw sih lebih milih punya tanggal cantik buat urusan lain. to take off from this world, for example. lo bisa milih tanggal cantik buat nikah dan melahirkan, tapi lo ga akan pernah bs milih tanggal cantik buat berpulang. kalopun dapet tanggal cantik, paling itu coincidence. orang bisa maksa melahirkan sebelum waktunya demi tanggal cantik, tapi gw yakin ga akan ada orang yg nyopotin selang oksigen keluarganya supaya mereka bs berpulang di tanggal cantik. definisi tanggal cantik disini bukan cm sebatas digit yg berulang or whatsoever. ada banyak hal² lain yg bisa mendefinisikan bahwa tanggal tertentu itu cantik, baik, tepat.
bokap gw berpulang tanggal 15 october 2011. secara kasat mata, ga ada yg istimewa dari tanggal itu. ga cantik, ga ada digit yg berulang. tapi tanggal berpulang bokap cuma selang kira² sebulan dari tanggal ulang tahunnya. tanggal 6 september kemarin, siapa yg mengira kalo dia akan take off bulan depan? gw juga ga menyangka, 1 hari di bulan october tahun lalu akan jadi hari terakhir gw ketemu bokap dalam kondisi masih hidup. ga mengira bahwa kali berikutnya, gw harus menunduk di atas peti dan say goodbye. forever. and he won't talk back to me. anymore.
if you ask me, gw juga gatau kapan tanggal yg cantik, baik dan tepat buat bokap untuk berpulang. tanggal yg cantik, baik dan tepat menurut gw, bukan tanggal yg cantik, baik dan tepat menurut the Chairman. the Chairman has his own timing and its not just good, its perfect.
its okay to pick tanggal cantik as your special date. apapun yg lo lakukan di tanggal cantik, ingat, tanggal itu lo pilih dengan harapan semoga sesuatu yg lo mulai atau lakukan di hari itu bisa berjalan secantik dan sebaik tanggalnya. maybe till the end of time. so don't take it for granted. do your best, seize your day. supaya nanti saat lo harus take off, ga peduli tanggalnya cantik atau ga, you could say to yourself : yes, this really is the perfect time.

let me tell you something. no, its not something big or extraordinary.
i just want to tell you i love him. but i also love her.
i dont know whom i love more, i dont think i have to know.
its just, you know.
people say you cant love two persons at the same time. you have to choose.
i love her since the first time we met. i cant live without her.
we have a very strong bond between us. she knows every single thing about me, she knows me really well.
and i love him since the first time we talked to each other. he literally got me.
my very best friend and companion. we have lots of things in common.
and i know that you know.
if you ask me to choose one of them, you know i cant.
you know its not an easy thing to do.
you cant just choose one and leave the other one stranded by the sidewalk.
there are feelings between you and them. feelings, memories, stories, tons of them.
you know i cant. yet.

prayer of the night
Good God,
please hold my hand, teach me Your way, lead me on Your path.
Let me be a blessing for my Mom.
Let me be her happiness, let me be one of the reason she's thanking You for.
Because she is the most reasonable reason I'm thanking You for.
Only in Your palm I lay my present, my future and my whole life.
Amen.

i have the best mom in the world!
4 minggu. 28 hari. 672 jam.
selama itu nykp dateng dan nemenin gw disini. 2 di 4 minggu itu jg grannies gw ada disini. thanks for coming, loves. thank you for being a very sweet part of my holiday. i miss you all already *sniff* there wont be any review about those weeks. not that they werent interesting, just because its too sweet to remember i have to cry a little if i talk about it. *i even shed some tears as i type*
all i can say is, i have the best mom in the world. and my mom has the best mom in the world, so i have the best grandma in the world. we all have the best moms in the world. sebawel apapun, se-banyak-aturan apapun, seribet apapun mereka, sampe² kita ngerasa kaya anak kecil umur 5 lg saat sama mereka, trust me, setelah kebawelan itu berubah jd sepi, setelah lo lagi² sendirian di rmh lo, you'll miss it. A LOT. i am still missing my mom so bad, every morning i wake up i walk straight in the kitchen, hoping to see her there cooking. after she left on sunday, i cried in the airport restroom, in the train back home, on my bed until i fell asleep, on monday morning soon after i woke up.
i know, i know all these words sound hyper. but maybe you will get what i mean if you were the only child who lives for years with only your mom (eventhough you also have a father). who shares every single thing, goes almost everywhere and sleeps in the same room with her for more than just one decade. or maybe if you were, you still cant get it. but its okay, i dont care. i have the best mom in the world, i am proud of her and really thankful to have her in my life.
love you, Mom!
