Sudah
Lari saja
Sudah lelah jua
Hati ini merana
Meratapi realita
Yang tak mencipta bahagia
Sudah
Mau apa lagi
Mustahil untuk diingkari
Biar aku ikhlasi
Biar aku yang pergi
Sudah
Bawa serta ingatan itu
Kau tahu
Walau tak mau mengaku
Dongeng manis itu semu
Yang ada hanya kenangan pilu
Antara kau dan aku

Lagi
Matahari menggenggam janji
Bulan menyimpan mimpi
Siang malam silih berganti
Merangkai cerita dan puisi
Melewati hari sendiri
Bulan menyimpan mimpi
Siang malam silih berganti
Merangkai cerita dan puisi
Melewati hari sendiri
Perlahan tapi pasti
Esok yang dinanti
Akhirnya akan kembali
Esok yang dinanti
Akhirnya akan kembali
Satu fajar lagi
Satu senja lagi
Hingga rindu yang menggunung di hati
Akan siap untuk pergi
Satu senja lagi
Hingga rindu yang menggunung di hati
Akan siap untuk pergi
Selamat datang kembali,
Sang penghuni hati.
Sang penghuni hati.

(un)happy
Most of the kids
Afraid of the sound of the thunder
I was frightened of my father's voice
Afraid of the sound of the thunder
I was frightened of my father's voice
Most of the kids
Yearn for a pack of crayons for their birthdays
All I've ever wished for was the love from my mother
Yearn for a pack of crayons for their birthdays
All I've ever wished for was the love from my mother
Most of the kids
Amused themselves on the playground on their spare times
I filled my free times with inexhaustible clashes and bawls with my sister
Amused themselves on the playground on their spare times
I filled my free times with inexhaustible clashes and bawls with my sister
And now the rain is pouring
The shower is trickling
And the tears are falling
The shower is trickling
And the tears are falling
Ten years later
And I haven't got all that I've ever wanted in life
All I gained are calamities and gloom
And I haven't got all that I've ever wanted in life
All I gained are calamities and gloom

Dissever
The nights are unfilled
No more late night chats
No more lullabies
No more counting stars
It is just me
Forlorn
Melancholy
Though you went away
Your scent stays
The memories of you stay
The space next to me remains empty
It is just me,
The tears,
And the quietude.
No more late night chats
No more lullabies
No more counting stars
It is just me
Forlorn
Melancholy
Though you went away
Your scent stays
The memories of you stay
The space next to me remains empty
It is just me,
The tears,
And the quietude.

Niin Kauan, Isoäiti
I knew in one point, I have to
cope with the death, again. I will no longer sitting next to her in the
hospital at midnight, witnessing her with my blurred eyes. I will no longer
surrounded by the medical equipments and the beeping sound and being petrified
if the screen shows the straight line. I could visualize my father crying for
his death mother at the funeral.
Perhaps that explains why I never
said ‘Get Well Soon’ at the first place. I knew it would be the biggest lie for
this kind of situation. Wishing her to get better soon is an irony. She is
dying. Everyone will eventually die. And we all here just waiting for the end
to come. Hearts beaten fast. Sweats soaked up the faces. Fear haunted the
souls.
At midnight, I always scrutinized
my phone. To make sure that there was no text that came to my phone to inform
me that she is gone. The message was never shown up. Yet the news was spreading
as quick as the sadness filled my heart. She was gone.
I never liked the flowers. It
reminds me of death. Funny how such beautiful things bounded with the death.
Flowers rimmed me everywhere I went. Sadness were levitating around the
atmosphere that morning. Between the tears I saw faces I rarely see. Cousins, elders,
friends, neighbours, they were all here. Probably this is the reason why she
left us alone.
No, we are not alone. We have
each other. She united us with her death. The death found its way to show its
beautiful side. Was this the reason why I saw her smiling in her eternal sleep?
Because she realized her vocation was complete, and she is now enjoying her prize
for the triumph. In heaven.
And I found myself sinked in my
own confusion. I still could hear her voice recited in my ears. I still could
feel her appearance amongst us. But as the sobs were getting louder, I realized
it was just my imagination. Reality slapped me one more time. She is gone. Left
me with regrets and sadness.
But why her? Why now? But then
again, I asked myself again. Why not now? She said she couldn’t endure the pain
anymore. She was tortured by the disease. And she wanted to go. But she made
herself numb, and wait for another moment. Until all of her loved ones came and
see her. But now she saw them all. She kept them in her head. And she was
taking away the memories of the faces of the one that she loves. And we are
here. Reciting endless prayers for her. To finally let her go. Goodbye.

Apa Masih Ada Cinta?
Kutengok
jam di dinding sekali lagi. 7:18. Entah apa yang menghambatnya, tetapi ia
seharusnya sudah berada disini 48 menit yang lalu. Aku mengeluarkan handphone-ku dan mencari namanya.
Cheila. Jemariku bermain lihai diatas huruf-huruf handphone.
“Gue diterima program beasiswa disini. Ibu gue bilang lebih baik diambil. Lagi pula, gue orang Indonesia. Mungkin emang harusnya gue disini,” jawabku. Ia mengangguk tanda setuju. “Wow. Emang keliatan pinter ya. Kalau gue, buat masuk universitas kita sekarang ini harus belajar siang malam buat diterima. Tapi untungnya, semua ngga sia-sia.” Senyuman bangga nampak diwajahnya. Ia terlihat cantik malam ini. Mungkin memang aku menyukainya. “Jadi gimana di Jepang? Udah punya pacar disana?” tanyanya lagi. Aku tertawa dalam hati. Apa ia bercanda? Orang sepertiku? Pacar? Rasanya tidak mungkin. “Ngga semudah itu punya pacar orang Jepang. Jadi ya, gue belum punya pacar. Gue rasa gue ngga tertarik untuk punya.”
“Terus gimana lo menunjukkan cinta?”
