After They Left

I used to like to be alone. I can do anything I want without worrying about others. I always enjoy my me-time. I like to go to anywhere with myself because going with others will make me be depending on them. I liked to explore new places with myself. Yes, my self is enough for my company.
I enjoyed being with my own. I liked to stay at my room for hours (with bunch of snacks, good movies, good dramas, good books). I didn't need any internet connection, I never touched my phone, and the door and window were always closed. Yes, I really enjoyed that.
Sometimes, I went to the public space just with my own. Looking at the people, taking picture, doing silly things, alone. Sometimes I just went around the city by motorcycle with no direction. Alone. Sometimes I spent hours in bookstore (Being surrounded by books is my mood booster). Alone.
No, I'm not an introvert. Ask my close friends or family, they know me really well. I just feel comfortable with my own company. I have many friends to talk to or to hang out with. But going out with my own company makes me feel very much independent. Of course you can gladly offer your company, but I will politely reject it.
But something strange happens now. Staying for 3 months in Bandung with my friends which I just know for 3 months too, have changed me a little bit. I never feel good when I'm alone now. I didn't enjoy my own company anymore. I feel like I need someone to talk to. I cannot take my eyes off of whatsapp group just to keep in touch with them. I thought I will be alright when they leave. Turns out, I'm not. There is something strange I feel after they left.
Here I am now, sitting alone in my favorite fastfood restaurant, with my favorite menu. Alone. But with different feeling. A-very-not-good feeling.
I miss my friends. This town is suddenly change. It turns to grey now. No more colors like it used to.
This burger and coffee cannot console me anymore. I miss my friends. I miss them so much.
Now I feel nothing but lonely.
I need companion to keep me sane.

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
