Rantai dan Teman Lama

Kadang gue merasa… sepertinya masa lalu memasang sebuah rantai yang besar di kaki sehingga sangat sulit untuk melangkah dan pergi meninggalkannya. Kenangan masa lalu masih terus membuat gue terus dibayangi oleh kata-kata “Seandainya…”

Memasuki usia 25 tahun, seakan waktu ingin memburu gue agar menyegerakan segala hal. Menikah. Bekerja. Menikah. Bekerja. Menikah. Menikah. Menikah…. Sambil ia menjabarkan segala alasan logisnya tentang kenapa gue harus menyegerakan semua hal ini. Bagi seorang Introvert dengan social anxiety seperti gue, sebuah pondasi dalam hubungan menjadi sangat penting. Seberapa dalam gue mengenal pasangan adalah hal yang sangat gue butuhkan dalam melangkah lebih jauh. Kencan buta bukanlah suatu opsi. Apalagi dijodohkan. Tapi sekitar gue terus saja menyodorkan semua itu dengan harapan gue akan segera dipinang.

Gue berterima kasih atas kepedulian mereka ingin mencarikan gue pasangan hidup, namun tidak mereka ketahui bahwa tak banyak orang yang cukup bersedia untuk bersabar dalam mengenal seseorang dengan social anxiety seperti gue. Rasa panik, malu, takut memberikan kesan buruk, dan tidak percaya diri selalu memenuhi diri sehingga pada pertemuan pertama, kedua, ketiga... gue tidak mampu membuka diri pada orang-orang baru, sedangkan gue hidup dalam dunia dimana kalau kita tidak bisa bersikap ‘asik’ dan berbicara seperti MC pada lawan bicara, maka orang tidak akan tertarik. Yang mana hal tersebut bukanlah salah mereka. Siapa sih yang mau punya teman yang terlalu pendiam dan kurang asik diajak ngobrol, yang selalu sibuk dengan isi kepalanya sendiri. Apalagi pasangan…

Oleh karena itu, gue sangat berterima kasih pada sahabat-sahabat dan teman-teman yang bersedia memahami dan menerima gue hingga sekarang. Adalah sebuah perjalanan yang panjang bagi gue untuk akhirnya dapat memanggil mereka 'teman'. Bagi gue, teman sangatlah berharga karena ada sebuah pondasi yang kuat yang mengkokohkan hubungan itu. Dan gue sangat berharap, jika gue memang akan menikah, gue akan menikah dengan seseorang yang dapat menjadi teman, bukan sekedar pasangan. Teman yang dapat membuat kami dapat menjadi diri kami, dimana kami dapat dengan nyaman berbagi kekurangan dan kelebihan kami, dan mau bekerja sama untuk menjadi lebih baik.

Setiap kali gue ingin mencoba membuka hati, rantai masa lalu seakan menahan dan menarik gue kembali ke masa yang pernah menyenangkan dulu. Lalu, hati ini pun akan mengunci dirinya dan mengurung gue di dalamnya bersama seorang teman lama. Teman yang sekarang mungkin sudah bergerak maju dengan kehidupannya, tanpa tahu bahwa gue masih terjerat di belakang, kesulitan melupakan.

Mr. Wordless

Hari ini aku menggali lubang masa lalu yang telah kukubur dalam-dalam. Hanya karena sebuah lagu lama yang menjadi teman kisah kita selama beberapa tahun itu. Lalu, aku kembali jatuh cinta. Apakah padamu? Ataukah hanya pada kenangan akan dirimu? Yang aku tau, kamu adalah salah satu dari kisah favoritku. 

Boleh aku sedikit bernostalgia? Bercerita tentangmu? Sudah lima tahun sejak terakhir kita bertemu, tak sedikitpun bayangan tentangmu menghantuiku seperti hari ini. Aneh bukan, hanya karena sebuah lagu, aku membuka kembali sejarah lama yang masih tersimpan rapi itu, entah bagaimana bisa ia masih ada. Lalu, kamu tau apa yang terjadi? Aku menangis. Aku menangis begitu saja, seolah semua yang ada di masa itu kembali kepadaku. Tawa itu. Canda itu. Ledekan itu. Dan tanda-tanda itu. 

Saat itu kamu adalah orang yang digemari banyak orang. Lalu, kita bertemu, dan kita berfoto berdua untuk pertama dan terakhir kalinya. Aku hanya satu dari ribuan orang yang mengagumi kamu, lalu bagaimana bisa takdir membawaku pada sebuah pertemanan, denganmu? Bagaimana bisa, setelah dari sekian banyak yang menyapamu, hanya aku yang kamu tawarkan persahabatan? 

Saat itu aku hanya pemimpi, penuh khayal, bagiku kamu begitu tinggi, tak terjangkau, karena itu ketika kamu memberikan ku lebih dari apa yang aku khayalkan, aku merasa seperti dongeng telah menjadi nyata dalam kehidupanku. Kamu adalah seseorang, sedangkan aku hanya bayangan, tapi kamu melihatku, dan menjadikan aku penting, atau paling tidak membuatku merasa begitu.

Ada jarak yang jauh, hanya melalui telepon, YM, SMS, BBM, twitter, dan social media, kita berbicara setiap hari, hampir sepanjang waktu. Kamu memanggilku dengan sebutan itu begitupun aku. Kita saling mencari saat satu sama lain tak bisa dijangkau, saling meledek, saling berbagi kisah, dan akhirnya aku kembali menemuimu lagi, ke tempatmu tinggal, ke negeri impian itu, dimana semua mimpi menjadi nyata. 

Kita saling peduli dan mencari cara untuk tetap bisa berkomunikasi dalam rahasia, tanpa perlu menyakiti orang yang menyayangi kita. Tapi, pada akhirnya saling menjauh. Lalu, kamu datang lagi. Kamu berada begitu dekat denganku, lebih dari sebelumnya. Dan kita, bertemu lagi. Berbicara lagi. 

Lalu, semua berakhir. Kita menyudahinya tanpa ada perpisahan. Tanpa ada penjelasan, apakah senyuman dan pembicaraan setiap hari kita selama 3 tahun itu adalah tanda yang kamu kirimkan? Apakah pernah dalam sehari saja, kamu merasakan yang kurasakan terhadapmu? Apakah pernah terbersit sedikit saja dalam benakmu, tentang keberadaanku? Apakah dalam canda dan ledekan yang kamu kirimkan nyaris setiap detik itu, ada sedikit saja rasa untukku?

Kamu menghilang dari hidupku, begitupun aku menghilang dari hidupmu, setelah hampir 3,5 tahun kamu mengisinya. Tak ada satu hari pun dalam hidupku tanpa pesan darimu saat itu. Apa yang terjadi? Aku tidak tahu, mungkin itu memang waktu yang tepat, untuk aku mengakhiri apa yang selama ini menjadi khayalan, dan melepaskan yang ternyata akan selamanya terlalu tinggi untuk kuraih. 

Aku merindukanmu, mungkin bukan dirimu, tapi kenangan tentangmu. Kenangan yang sangat berharga bagiku, dimana aku belajar menjadi manusia yang lebih baik kala itu, dan bahkan berprestasi di sekolah dan bisa meraih PTN, itu semua kamu yang menjadi motivasinya. Kamu mungkin tidak tahu, dan tak akan pernah tahu. Tapi, aku ingin berterimakasih. Atas segala yang terjadi, atas waktu yang kamu berikan, atas pertemanan yang kamu tawarkan. Kamu mengubah hidupku kala itu, dan semoga dimanapun kamu sekarang, kamu menjalaninya dengan baik tanpa kekurangan suatu apapun.

Terimakasih ya, Anak Kecil. Merkuriusku. Mr. Wordless-ku.
Terimakasih pernah membuat khayalanku menjadi kenyataan.

Misleaded

Maybe I fell in love with you for longer than I thought
Maybe behind that laughter and togetherness, I secretly wish that you felt the same
Maybe I thought that you were just waiting for the right moment
Maybe I saw this friendship as something much deeper than what it really is
Maybe I thought that we had a future together

You were the first person who acknowledged me and needed me by your side
You were the first person who chooses to call me when you were sad
You were the first person who told me that my existence calms you down
You were the first person who made me believe that I'm good enough
You were the first person that showed me your weaknesses

And I didn't realize that I might have fallen for you for a long time
And maybe that's why it hurts so much to find out the truth
And maybe that's why I got disappointed 'though I probably already knew the truth
Maybe because I finally realized that I.... was in love with you

Now I know that all the calls you made were not for me but for someone else
Now I know that you needed me by your side only so you can have someone else

Now I know that I was just a shield you needed for you and someone else
Now I know that I was meaningless

I wish I didn't know
I wish I didn't find out the truth
I wish I didn't care too much
I wish I didn't meet you
I wish I didn't fall in love with you

Secret

For this one matter, I will keep it as my secret
For this feeling, let it be my own treasure
For the first time, I can't share it to anyone
Because you are just that precious
And I'm too afraid of their judgment

I swear I will let you lay on me forever
I will shoulder all of your sadness and fears
I will never leave you
But let it be my secret, you don't have to know
I just want you to feel that you will never be alone

This is my way to show how grateful I am
For all the laugh that you give to me when I can't even smile
You don't know how much that means
To find a reason to smile while fighting my own demon inside
Thank you

I'm just like them, longing for you
Just like them, I adored you
But unlike them, my feeling is true
And I don't need you to give it back to me
I just want to make sure that you will always have a friend

And that's what makes me different from them
Because I will cherish you
And even without me, I want you to be happy
So, I keep your name in my prayers
And ask for God to take care of you

Let it be my secret
For my feeling and for your existence in my life
Let it just be my secret

Music and You


You and music are my two favorite things
When you and music becomes one, it turns into a very beautiful thing
You will play the piano or guitar and I will sing for you
And then the world will froze for a moment, there's only you and me

The only thing that's left for me and you is music
Every single song I pick, I sing it for you
When you're not watching, I'm watching you
It's like my eyes were glued on you, they're keeping you in sight

When you're not around, the world around me turns to grey
Friends become strangers, and all colors disappeared
Music stops for a while, the room becomes empty
As if nothing else matters in the world anymore

You are the most beautiful when you're happy
And when I saw you cried the other day, my heart crushed into pieces
That's why your name is in my prayer all the time
Your happiness is what I'm always asking the most from Him

Music is the only thing that's left for me and you
'Cause that's the only thing that makes me close to you
I remember every moment when we sit behind the piano
And you tried your best to learn all the songs I pick

The things that seemed so small to you, become big things for me
I keep counting every moment we shared together
'cause the only thing that's left for me is memory about you
There is no expectation, there's only moment to cherish

Love at the First Sight

Love sparks at the beginning of the most wonderful journey
It was love at the first sight, something I never believed before
You are perfect in your imperfection and I'm captivated
Then, I started walking behind you, watching you lead all of us

I still remember everything about you, even more clearly now
I remember what you wore on the first day we met
I remember your gentle voice when you call out my name
I remember the warm feeling I get whenever I see your smile

The moment when I'm walking beside you
The moment when you're sitting beside me
The moment when we're playfully smirking towards each other 
The moment when we coincidentally got stuck in the lift together

You didn't know, because this is just my one-sided crush over again
You didn't know, because you're just too sincere and kind to everyone
You didn't know, because to you, maybe love is not your priority at that moment
You didn't know, because you focus your love to God only

We probably will never have continuation of what has never been started
I will probably be the one who thinks of you the most
You will most likely move on with your life and find your loved one
We're probably going back on being strangers

But meeting you is one of the happiest things in my life
It was too short, the time we spent together
But the feelings which grow within me is even bigger than before
I never thought that love could spark in such a short period

You are special that you make it possible to fall in love at the first sight
You are special because you make me want to make myself better
You are special because your existence reminds me of God
You are special because of the way you are

I don't know what to call this writing, it's not poetry I guess. But I feel the need to let out my feelings. Mekkah and Madinah knows how much I ask and apologize to God because of that overwhelmed feelings I had. This is dedicated to you, the owner of the pen I have now. I hope I will have the chance to return it to you. We're going back to our normal lives, but you will always be special. I will eventually move on, but you will remain as one of the strongest memories in my heart. I will always be grateful because I had the chance to feel your kindness and got to know you. I know from the start that this will be my one-sided love again, because you are just too good to be true, and I'm grateful to meet you... :")

About Feelings

You probably mad and felt like the most miserable person yesterday
You can be the most optimistic person tomorrow
Everyone has those good and bad days, it's a circle of life
One day you can be so wise and positive about everything
The other day, all you see is darkness and you feel like dying
It's normal. It's human.
But today, I just feel calm and relax
Today, I feel loved and I love you
The simple thing can erase the storm I see inside
Thanks to you

A Hardcore Lover


I can say that I'm a hardcore lover. When I love someone or something, I tend to do something crazy. Love in here does not only meant for your significant other but for something else too like love for parents, people, friends, organization.... etc.

❤ I went to a distant island to see my crush when I was 18. My biggest goal was, of course, only to see him. The all-time quote "I will go to the other part of the world only for you..." is actually something I will do.

❤ I stayed in a room only to make sure that he's okay when a teacher made fun of him and embarrassed him in front of many students. I stayed only to make sure he's okay, and to make sure he's not alone, although I had to stay for hours...

❤ I bought a lot of cakes only to make sure that he would have a wonderful, precious birthday. 

❤ I almost broke my feet when my dad got a severe stomachache and seemed dying. I was so afraid that I ran out of my room to find a doctor in the middle of the night, and ended up fell on the stairs and broke my feet. The fear of losing my father scared the hell of me to the point that I would sacrifice anything just to save him.

❤ I spent hours in a place where I feel I belong, although I know sometimes I spent too much time in it, time flies as if I only spent an hour. Maybe because my happiness is in that place that I don't feel like wasting any of my time.

I sometimes overdo it, I feel the need to express love by doing something real because I couldn't say love so easily. Heck! I can never say that magic word, but my body automatically does something to express it, sometimes it feels like I couldn't control it. I don't know why or how? Anyone could show me the way to control feelings? I'm afraid with my own overflowing emotion, drives me crazy sometimes to the point that I can almost hurt myself. My friend said... put only 50% of your feeling to someone you like so you won't get hurt too much... but hey, do I have the strength to control it? No matter what my brain said, my heart just doesn't follow the order. It has its own will and I have no power to control it. The only thing I can do is only trying to make myself as busy as possible to make me forget it little by little. But, magically, when I'm back with myself all alone again... BAM! Those feelings are coming back to me as if they never leave.

Quote

You said, ‘I love you.’ Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear? ‘I love you’ is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it we speak like savages who have found three words and worship them. I did worship them but now I am alone on a rock hewn out of my own body.
—  Written on the Body - Jeanette Winterson

Unspoken Words and A New Home

I just realized I was being selfish by saying "Don't disappear again...". What if the best thing for you is by staying away from me? It means if I'm forcing you to stay, I'd hurt you even more. I had so many things to say to you but what's came out was "Aaa... Eee... Hahaha..." It wasn't right. My introvert side actually won again. And yet I don't think we'd have the chance to talk again because I don't want to bring up this topic and make the situation awkward again.

Anyway, I have a new place to pour my heart out now. Well, not really a new place, I've been using it for years but I just started to write something very personal in it these past few days. Because apparently, I need it to make me feel relieved. It's not like I would stop writing in this blog; this will always be my favorite place to write my precious memories, write a poem that reflected what's in my heart, or just some silly opinions, but I need a place to pour my problems in the most honest way so it would decrease the number of my blue/complain tweets too lol.

I'll Blame Me

I'm afraid that 'mine' is too strong
I've been in this place and I always know 
I'm such a terrible lover
Because I'll love completely, wholeheartedly
Isn't that too much to take?
Wouldn't it become a burden when it's too strong for you?
And that strong feeling hurts me too much too
Because it makes me fragile for every simple reason
I worried too much, I expect too much, and I will miss too much?
Wouldn't that be too much for you to take too?
Can anyone teach me how to control feelings?
Because mine is overflowing and I don't know how to stop it
Not that I want to stop loving
I'm just afraid that too much feeling will hurt my precious one
Tell me how to soothe this burning emotion

In the end, if I ever get hurt
It's not you whom I would blame
It's me and my own stupidity
It's me who let myself burned in my own fire
It's me who let myself falling without a parachute
It's me who let myself consumed by that strong feeling
If I ever get hurt, it would be nobody's fault but me

PS: I drank too much coffee and my mind started exaggerating things. Before I realized it, I've written these on my cell phone. So, note this in your mind whoever read it: It's just fictional writing. I repeat, FICTIONAL WRITING! This means it's not what I'm really feeling since I wrote it when I was feeling sleepy and hungry and my mind just went super random 😛

One of My Dreams...

One of my absurd dreams is having a duet partner who actually knows how to sing a duet... if you know what I mean. Haha... somehow, I've been wanting to have a duet partner since I listened to duet songs when I was a kid. I think it's wonderful when two voices are mixed and harmonized beautifully. That's why when I'm listening to a duet song, I would learn the 2nd chords and notes as well, and master it, simply because I wished I would find someone later to sing it with me, LOL. What a random dream. It would be amazing if our voices and hearts are intertwined 😋

One of my Favorite Duet Moments and Couples~

I'm in Love with A Voice

I'm in love with a voice. It's the first time that I got this kind of goosebumps when I heard someone singing live. I was starstruck. I only felt that way when I heard my favorite singers such as MJ, Zayn Malik, and Yuya Takaki, and they're pretty much like a fairytale for me so I don't really care about it. But this one, this person, I saw and heard him live. It feels like I want to keep him so he will sing to me all day long. Crazy? Kinda. But, no... I don't think I'm in love with him as a person. I'm in love with his voice. Truly. One of the best voices I've ever heard. He's truly gifted.

Kata-Kata Papa

Karena gue tidak ingin melupakan, atau terlupa akan berbagai pelajaran berharga yang pernah dikatakan Papa. Sosok lelaki yang akan selalu gue rindukan dalam ada dan tiadanya...


1. "Hidup di dunia jangan takut miskin, takut nggak punya uang, takut melulu. Bumi Allah luas untuk seluruh umatnya. Allah lah yang merawat kita sejak kita masih dalam kandungan hingga akhir hayat nanti. Kalau bukan karena rahmat Allah, kita tidak akan hidup dalam perut Ibu, kita tidak akan selamat berkendara di jalanan, kita tidak akan selamat dari berbagai racun dalam makanan. Segala hal di dunia ini dari yang sekecil atom hingga yang terbesar, dikendalikan dan dijaga oleh Allah. Jangan pernah takut kita akan terpuruk. Selama kita punya Allah dan beriman pada-Nya, ia takkan pernah meninggalkan kita."

2. "Sholat bukan hanya sekedar hapal bacaannya saja, tapi memahami artinya, dan memahami maknanya. Kalau kita sholat tanpa memahami artinya, bagaimana kita bisa khusyuk dan menumbuhkan kecintaan terhadap Allah? Sama halnya dengan membaca Al-Quran. Sekarang ini bukan tentang mengkhatamkan Al-Quran, tetapi mengkhatamkan arti bacaannya juga."

3. "Kalau sewaktu-waktu di jalan, kamu melihat sosok yang perlu ditolong seperti Bapak-Bapak atau Ibu-Ibu yang menarik gerobak yang terlihat berat, hentikan dulu perjalananmu. Ambil waktu untuk membantunya mendorong gerobak itu sampai dirasa telah melewati jalanan yang sulit. Jangan malu sama pandangan orang. Jangan gengsi, karena perbuatan-perbuatan yang kelihatannya itu sesungguhnya sangat mulia, karena kamu telah meringankan beban orang lain."

4. "Coba dibiasakan jangan sholat buru-buru. Misalnya, pasti ada saat dimana kita tidak khusyuk di beberapa bagian ayat dalam sholat. Coba diulangi membaca bagian itu dalam hati sambil memahami artinya dalam-dalam. Berhubungan dengan Allah pakai hati, salah satu wujudnya dengan sholat, jadi nikmatilah."

5. "Biasakanlah untuk tidak langsung bangun begitu selesai sholat. Ambil waktu untuk berdoa dan mengucap syukur pada Allah. Waktu yang paling berharga dalam berkomunikasi dengan Allah itu justru adalah setelah sholat."

6. "Baca Al-Ikhlas dalam hati saat kehilangan sesuatu, sambil terus mencarinya. Biasanya ampuh. Kalau Papa kehilangan sasuatu di rumah, Papa baca Al-Ikhlas dalam hati berkali-kali dan barang itu biasanya ditemukan dengan cepat, kadang ada di tempat yang di luar pikiran kita sama sekali, tapi Allah entah bagaimana menuntun kita ke tempat itu. Lapangkan hati dan serahkan pada Allah. Jika memang hak kita, akan kembali pada kita."

Rindu

http://kayandanotherkay.tumblr.com/

Tragis
Hati ini begitu merindu
Namun tak lagi mampu meluapkan
Hanya bisa bersandar pada Tuhan
Dan meminta-Nya menyampaikan

Hey kamu
Apakah kamu juga merindu?
Masih mampu melihat senyum hangat itu saja
Aku merasa, cukuplah
Semoga ini yang terbaik

An Ending. A New Start.

"Do you still love him?"
I do.
http://eunikench.tumblr.com/
"How much?"
Still as much as the first time I fell for him. Nothing's changed about my feelings to him.

"Why did you take the decision that will hurt both of you?"
We're no longer highschoolers or youngsters. It's not about the relationship anymore. It's more than just that. I want to set him free, set myself free.


"How much he means to you?"

Honestly, he's the first person whom I ever have a real relationship with. I felt the deepest feeling towards him, but we can't continue like this. At least, I can't. Honestly, I'm the type of person who needs affection and attention the most from someone I love, and I know he has more important things to do than just taking care of me. I don't want to be selfish and ask too much from him. I think the best way is to set him free.


"Don't you regret it? If you really love him, you should stick together with him no matter what.."
I thought I regret it at first, but it has happened. We both have made the decision. It may sounds cliche, but I believe that if we are meant to be together, we will eventually find each other. Allah has His own way for us. I will just believe in that.


"Do you have any last words or wish for him and the two of you after this story ends?"
Take care of yourself, take care of your health, eat regularly, have confidence in yourself because you are worth more than you ever thought, I'm sorry if I ever did you wrong, and thank you for everything you've done. I'll keep them in my heart. I wish we both will find each other in the end. And if we don't, I wish that both of us will end up with the right person. I wish we can laugh together in the future when we look back to our past. To the present.

And the story ends here. Thank you for everything. May Allah always be with you, and I'm sure He will. :')

The Best Love Story


For me, the best love story isn't Cinderella and The Prince Charming. The best love story is not when the handsome prince meets the beautiful princess and then they fall in love. It's normal for two beautiful people to fall in love with each other of course. Even just from the look itself, they already make such a perfect match.

I found the best love story in the story like Beauty and The Beast, when Beauty loves The Beast with all her heart. There is full acceptance towards her partner. Well, that's just beautiful, right, when true love is no longer about outside appearance, wealth, or any other reasons, just the way you are is enough. And when that love helps us to become a better person, isn't that what true love is supposed to be? Ah, who am I to talk about love when I never really experienced it myself, hahaha...

Well, have a nice Saturday Night! :)

How would I know?

Sometimes I'm afraid that I've talked too much and you hate me for my grumbling

Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm too quite that you hate me for my silence


Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm too careless that makes you feel unsafe


Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm the only one who keeps holding on


The thing is....


You never told me


You never say anything


How would I know that?


How would I know if I ever did you wrong?


How would I know if you ever need a companion?


How would I know? You never told me


Not even once
