Kembali

 Malam itu Dinta menyetir ke Bandara dengan perut besarnya. Menjemput suaminya setelah business trip di luar kota. Tak lama menunggu, suaminya terlihat di pintu keluar melambaikan tangan."Kangen" ucap Dinta sambil berpelukan. Suaminya membalas dengan senyuman dan pelukan yang hangat. Lalu mereka menuju tempat parkir untuk bergegas pulang."Aku aja yang nyetir, kamu kan lagi hamil," ucap Firas."Oke,"...

Menuju Seperempat Abad

Saya jadi teringat, tahun lalu saya juga menulis tentang awal tahun ke-23 saya di sini. Waktu itu saya bilang saya nggak lagi hype ulang tahun, karena ya buat apa. Toh kita semakin dekat pada kematian. Tapi anyway, nggak lama ini saya baca blog-nya Kak Tirta alias @romeogadungan tentang postingan tahunannya mengenai usianya yang menginjak tahun ke-30. Isinya berupa kilas balik dan refleksi diri....

Sometimes

Sometimes, you need people to cheer you up when you're turning low. Sometimes, you need someone to just patiently listen to your complain and your story. Sometimes, you need somebody to tell you that you are stronger than you think. Sometimes, you need those people who can strengthen you to pass all of those obstacles. Sometimes, you need at least one person to talk to so you don't feel all alone. Sometimes,...

Her Last Dress

I saw my mom walking into my room while I was laying down in the living room. I didn't really notice what she was doing. A moment later, she was out wearing clothes I had never seen before. She showed me up her new dress then asked me whether or not it fit her. "Bagus kan bajunya?" said she. "Enggak, biasa aja." I, typically, answered. "Bagus ah," Then she went in my room again having another glance...

A Cup of Talk

I love spending time alone. So does he. There was one night when I went alone to a cafe with an intention to read journals. But not long after I had a seat, there was someone walked away passing my table. As soon as we noticed each other, we both were a bit surprised. As usual, we got silent for seconds then mumbling we didn't know each other. Of course, it was a platitude. We soon greeted each other....

Mencicip Eropa

A Moment to Reflect

It's one week to go till I'm exactly turning 23. No, this is not a reminder or something to remind everyone about my day. This is a kind of, let's say, the way I'm trying to reminisce and reflect what I've done and I have had to be. I suddenly remember one moment when my Indian buddy told me at my birthday, "You're not getting older, but you're just a little closer to death," and it was somewhat...

December

It feels like years I didn't write any posts here for these past months. I always thought that I had no time doing this while it's actually a matter of making it or not. Until I realize that it's already December! The last month we have in one year. Time to throw it back. There are many things...

Jogja at a Glance

Courtesy: jogjangangeni.com Nggak pernah terpikirkan untuk saya bisa tinggal di Kota Pelajar ini. Karena dulu emang nggak begitu berambisi buat milih satu kota tertentu untuk ditinggali selama kuliah. Dan karena 'kebetulan' universitas idaman saya nggak berada di Jogja, jadi aja saya nggak naksir-naksir...
