Tangisan Sunyi.


Tik.

Tik.

Tik.

Suara air jatuh dari atas atap.

Sisa - sisa keriaan tarian hujan.


Sepi.

Sendiri.


Ada laba - laba menyulam kebahagiaannya di pojok.

Membuat ilusi indah untuk menjebak mangsanya.

Bayangan santap malam yang lezat hari ini sudah di depan matanya.

Namun ia masih sendiri.


Merajut mimpi indahnya di pojok itu.


Sementara berlarian di bawah, semut - semut yang bergotong royong.

Membawa ini, menggotong itu.

Asal bergerak sang ratu pun senang.

Riuh rendah perintah berkumandang.

Ayo, kerja, ayo.


Tik.

Tik.

Tik.

Tetesan ini bukan air lagi.

Kali ini lebih kental dan lebih pekat.


Sang laba - laba melirik ke arah sana dan melihat raksasa berdiri sendiri.

Sama sepertinya.


Namun, bedanya sang laba - laba masih mempunyai harapan sedangkan raksasa itu tidak.

My Prayer, Only You

My Prayer, Only You.


For every moment like this,

i'm thanking God for you.

For every laughter you give me,

And for every tear of joy.


For every moment like this,

i know that you're special.

For every moment that we have shared,

And the ones that we're going to make.


I'm so grateful that i have you.

I'm so grateful that you love me.

From the bottom of my heart i sing for you,

My prayer for you, only you.


I know that life isn't fair at all.

And i know that i might be down.

But you will always have that something for me,

Your faithful prayer for me, for me.

Kuat

Kuat.


...

Wah, langitnya cerah.

Lihat, birunya seperti bajuku hari ini.


Hmm, perasaan apa ini.

Seperti rasa geli di perutku,

yang mengatakan bahwa ini tidak benar.

Menonton langit yang diam saja sendirian.


Ah, hanya bayanganku saja.


Wah, hamparan bunga ini begitu indah.

Berwarna - warni mencerahkan hari.


Perasaan itu lagi.

Berdegup pelan saat aku melihat bunga itu.

Menyiratkan rasa sesaat mengenai kefamiliaran ini.


Bukan apa - apa. Bukan apa - apa.


Ah, hujan.

Ayo berteduh di sana.

Di bawah pohon rindang yang terasa tidak asing itu.


Tetes hujan ini terus mengalir deras.

Membasahi wajahku juga.


Tidak, aku tidak menangis.

Truntum: A Happy Ending Unrequited Love Story

Chapter Six.

Page 158 of 365.

Truntum.

Dear star,

Have you ever been so lonely up there?

Are we dealing for the same problem?

They say, i'm a damn lucky girl.

Living in all abundance,

Having everything at my finger tips.

They say, i should be grateful.

Being the chosen one,

for millions of girls are willing to be where i am now.

I think, they just don't get it.

I never chose him because of who he is.

Or who he is going to be.

I love him.

I just do.

So, can you tell him how much i miss him, star?

Can you send him my love?

Can you whisper him the sweet memories we had?

I know we are going to be together again in the end.

I just can't afford the truth that now he is with someone else.

Writer's note:

This is the first time i make a post on the girl's point of view. This one is inspired by the history of truntum, a batik motif. You can read the history here. It's in Bahasa Indonesia.
