Sayangku padamu sejauh seberani kau menarik halaman-halaman ini lebih jauh. Selamat membuka.

     Ia duduk murung di depan cermin. Langit di luar mendung. Angin tanda-tanda akan hujan merasuki tubuhnya setelah melalui celah jendela yang terbuka. Ia duduk murung di depan cermin. 

     Perlahan ia berdiri, kemudian berjalan menuju sudut ruangan. Di laci ketiga sebuah meja tua, sesuatu diambilnya : Sony Walkman tahun 90-an lengkap dengan kaset di dalamnya. Ia menekan tombol bertanda segitiga-sama-kaki-tertidur itu. Ia berjalan kembali ke depan cermin. Ia duduk. 

Sebuah lagu berkumandang di kedua kupingnya yang tercantol headset.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story..
All about the girl who came to stay?
She’s the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don’t regret a single day
Ah girl

Lagu The Beatles dengan volume mengimbangi bunyi rintink hujan di luar itu, membuatnya kembali murung. Lelaki ini menatap cermin.

     Perlahan, ia menggapai bayangan tangan di cermin. Menyentuhnya. Menyentuh masa lalunya. Tangan itu merambat seluruh bayangan di cermin dan berubah. Bayangannya berubah menjadi gadis manis berambut pirang terkepang tak beratur, lalu menatapnya tersenyum. Tangan-tangan itu masih bersentuhan. 

     Hujan semakin deras. Bayangan di cermin perlahan hilang. Sama seperti serpihan kenangan yang menempel di dinding-dinding benaknya. Gadis yang pernah menjadi bagian hidupnya, gagal menjadi tulang rusuknya. Gadis dihujani kasihnya semasa muda, menghilang ditelan semua kebohongannya terdahulu. Bahkan kini bayangannya pun kini perlahan lenyap tertutup gumpalan air mata yang mulai perlahan tumpah dari matanya. Sementara hujan di luar masih deras.

***

Menjadi aku yang melihatmu menangis, membuatku berpikir : “Mengapa aku hanya dijadikan kenangan karena semua kebohongan? Lalu mengapa aku hanya terjebak dan menjadi sebagian dirimu yang hilang di cermin ini? Apakah aku juga ternyata suatu kebohongan, dulu?”

Best thing I've read on tumblr.

  • Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
  • Student : Yes, sir.
  • Professor: So, you believe in GOD?
  • Student : Absolutely, sir.
  • Professor : Is GOD good?
  • Student : Sure.
  • Professor: Is GOD all powerful?
  • Student : Yes.
  • Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
  • (Student was silent.)
  • Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
  • Student : Yes.
  • Professor: Is satan good?
  • Student : No.
  • Professor: Where does satan come from?
  • Student : From … GOD …
  • Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
  • Student : Yes.
  • Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
  • Student : Yes
  • Professor: So who created evil ?
  • (Student did not answer.)
  • Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
  • Student : Yes, sir.
  • Professor: So, who created them ?
  • (Student had no answer.)
  • Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
  • Student : No, sir.
  • Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
  • Student : No , sir.
  • Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smell your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
  • Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
  • Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
  • Student : Yes.
  • Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
  • Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
  • Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
  • Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
  • Professor: Yes.
  • Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
  • Professor: Yes.
  • Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
  • (The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)
  • Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
  • (There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
  • Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
  • Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
  • Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
  • Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
  • Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
  • Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
  • Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
  • Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
  • Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
  • (The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
  • Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
  • (The class was in uproar.)
  • Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
  • (The class broke out into laughter.)
  • Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
  • (The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
  • Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
  • Student : That is it sir… Exactly ! The link between man and GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
  • That student was Albert Einstein.

Lalu, inilah engkau.

Matahari yang tak pernah menjadi pagi, Bulan yang tak pernah mengindahkan malam. 

Lentera yang tak pernah menjadi terang, Gelap yang selalu bersembunyi di balik gorden jendela. 

Sepatu baru yang kekecilan, Tas punggung yang tak bertali.

Permen karet kadaluarsa, Es krim caramel yang sudah meleleh.

Kau adalah kebohongan di atas segala. Kebohonganmu adalah kenangan pahit di sudut kepala. Memilikimu kemarin hari menjadikanku cinta yang sia-sia.

Memutuskan

Karena kecewa. 

Karena seringkali dibohongi.

Karena kerap kali disakiti perasaan sendiri. 

Karena sudah bebal dengan lelaki yang menjual bual. 

Seorang wanita akhirnya memutuskan untuk kembali sendiri.

Pada akhirnya, waktu akan mengajarkan kita untuk terbiasa dan menerima. Bukan dengan melupakan, tapi dengan mengikhlaskan.

Lalu perlahan, harapan itu akan mati dengan sendirinya.

Jangan hanya muncul di tengah bias warna-warni karena hujan yang rintik. Jangan jadikan rinduku sebatas itu.

I (Don’t) Hate You

Verse1

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair. 

I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. 

I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. 

I hate you so much and it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. 

Reff:

I hate it, I hate the way you’re always right. I hate it when you lie.

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you.

Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Verse 2

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call. 

I hate it when you tell your story, and you can make me to believe.

I hate to see your silly faces, at the end i give you embrace.
