My mom hadn’t marry my father?
Or at least just’d stayed with her own faith.
Probably I would be fasting for one month and not being there in Saturday night.
Read Toni Morisson’s Love with a blue cyan big cup of cappuccino and one tiny nutella biscuit.
With my jeans soaked for the heavy rain, which made me took Rp. 70.000,00 for taxi.
And, gosh, I had to go there for a pee since I forgot to bring my room’s key. So dumb. More, I had to wait for my friends to come over.
What if…
My mom had not been that subordinate than my father?
Probably I would be heading for my grandmother’s house, far away in Central Java.
Not sacrificing my afternoon with the pervert society (again!)
With poetic realist novel in my hand and desperate jazzy sound on the stereo, which damn, I liked it a lot!
“…You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, na na na na na na na na… as time goes by…”
(actually, there wasn’t na na na na. Just forget the lyrics.)
and he’s heading to the east, and she’s to the west, little bit southy. She just couldn’t relax, for the stretch. The stretch that pulled each centimeter of her brain tissue to wander, to connect. But, it extremely faded the chance to
to what? To see? To smell? To feel?
She could only imagine.
What if…
The sexy girl, Dinda had not been the Public Officer for Culturaholic?
I didn’t get along with Taufik, who were Dinda’s General Secretary. Thus, it was him who connected me to Dinda?
I didn’t have much chits chats with this sassy lady, Sisie?
I didn’t join a pervert society and being introduced to Abi, by Disty?
I would had been drown into this purplish red covered little novel, and a book of the history of sense.
And she will would had injected each word she read to intensify the stretch.
For they were the guys I met in serendipity, that Saturday night, which usually people had left kosts for their homes, specially near Idul Fitri.
and they loosened the stretch.
Isn’t it funny, the way you choose whose people you are connected with right now, will affect your future. In a specific, tangible way. Probably, when you’re having a relationship with someone, you don’t know that it might cause a super practical impact for your future kids.
The way you choose someone to talk to, determine an act in your life, whether you’ll be delighted or not in your sour day. (just an obsessive thought of anticipation)
anyhow, Happy Idul Fitri for all of you... All the blessing with us

kalo kata orang determinis, itu lah sebabnya knapa manusia nggak punya free will... kalo kata orang fatalis, manusia gak bisa ngapa2in lagi... smuanya dahh ada yang ngaturin... dah disusun dari sononya knpa tiba2 lo bangun pagi ini dan menemukan mata lo sembab karena abis begadang sambil cekikikan kaya nenek lampir malem sebelumnya...
tapi gw lebih stuju pendapat yang bilang kalo semuanya itu chaotic, apa yang terjadi pada elo sekarang ini, dimana diri lo saat ini dan apa yang sedang lo rasakan saat ini adalah... yap.. hasil aksi reaksi dari apa yang udah lo lakuin (baca: lo pilih untuk lakuin) sebelum2nya... makanya satu2nya yang bisa disalahin ya diri lo sendiri... Tuhan? ya dia mah udah nggak punya urusan lagi dan bukan tempatnya jadi tumpuan untuk disalah2in...
kalo nyokap lo ga kawin sama bokap lo? ya kalo gitu kan lo nggak ada ya... he he he...
(apa sih gw...)
i didn't sorry for that, really. th marriage, i mean.
just imagine that i made writing with full of smiles, relaxed on my couch, and peaceful heart. because i did.
