So Sudden

Semuanya begitu tiba-tiba, atau saya yang terlalu lambat menyadarinya. Brainwave, saya dan teman-teman lain berada dalam perjalanan yang sama, perjuangan yang sama, namun ada yang sudah berhasil naik ke dalam kereta dan berjalan, sebagian ada yang menghabiskan waktu cukup lama untuk menunggu di stasiun, menunggu giliran keberangkatannya.

Hanya saja, perjalanan dengan kereta ini tidak semudah realita. Tidak cukup dengan niat ingin kemana, membeli tiket dan menunggu jam keberangkatan. Kami bahkan tidak tahu tujuan kami kemana. Atau mungkin kita tahu, hanya saja kereta untuk tujuan kesana belum datang. Kami harus menunggu dengan sabar, sabar dan sabar.

Rasanya mudah sekali untuk orang lain. Tapi bagi saya tidak. Rasanya sebentar sekali bagi yang lain, tapi bagi saya tidak.

Mengeluh tak berguna. Menyerah apalagi. Mau bagaimana hidupku kalau saya menyerah? Hanya saja semua perasaan yang tiba-tiba ini menyeruak dalam satu ruang dan waktu yang melahirkan kecemasan yang luarbiasa.

Apa yang saya bisa lakukan? Untuk apa semua kegiatan organisasi saat masih mahasiswa dulu? Untuk apa pernah mendapat beasiswa belajar ke Amerika kalau tak bisa berguna untuk mencari peruntungan? Ah, semua hanya menjadi pertanyaan yang tidak bisa terjawab.

Menyerah itu mudah, Ri. Atau semua yang saya lakukan masih juga kurang? Usaha dan doa masih kurang? Ya, mungkin memang begitu.

Saya berharap keberangkatanku akan tiba. Saya akan menaiki kereta dengan tenang dan riang. Perjalanan itu akan membawaku ke tempat-tempat baru dengan perasaan yang baru pula. Ke masa depan? Entahlah. Saya hanya perlu bergerak dan pindah ke langkah atau tempat selanjutnya. Itu yang saya butuhkan. Saya butuh diterima di suatu tempat, tempatku berkarir, mengembangkan minat dan bakat, bekerja…

Mungkinkah cepat atau lambat saya tetap tidak tahu. Masa depan itu misteri. Dan mungkin saya memang harus berusaha lagi lebih dan lebih keras.


Sunshine

“Anas r.a. berkata: Ada seseorang duduk di sisi Nabi SAW, tiba-tiba lewatlah seorang laki-laki dan berkatalah orang yang duduk di sisi Nabi SAW tersebut: “Wahai Rasulullah, sungguh saya sangat menyayangi orang itu.” Nabi SAW bertanya, “Apakah sudah kau beritahu padanya, bahwa kau cinta kasih…

It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some loves grow, and it is a mystery why some loves fail. You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do any more than take the life out of the experience.

Love is more than the sum of the interests and attractions and commonalities that two people share. And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its time, the coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways.You need to treat what love brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart.If you find someone else in love with you toward whom you feel no love, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage; do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how love will deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are very different.If you fall in love with another who falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know it in time, but time itself will choose the moment.Remember this and keep it in your heart. You don’t choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it to you. Give it to others who seem poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can.Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. If it chooses to leave your heart or the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and nothing you should do. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life. If you keep your heart open, it will surely come again.

Josh Hutcherson talks The Hunger Games
Total Film recently caught up with Josh Hutcherson, and, unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for talk to turn towards The Hunger Games.

                  Hutcherson, thus far best known for turns in Bridge To Terabithia, Journey To The Center Of The Earth and The Kids Are All Right, plays Peeta in the upcoming adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ wildly successful novel…

Ready to be Read

Everybody has a secret. We all knew that, right? Dari rahasia, kita bisa tahu siapa saja yang menganggap kita sebagai sahabat dekat; dari sedalam dan segelap apa rahasia yang mereka bagi ke kita.

Here are my deep and personal confessions (bisa dibaca: rahasia)

  1. Saya punya tulisan sekitar 50 halaman pas putus sama Brainwave hampir dua tahun kemarin, semacam jurnal. Sampai sekarang tulisan itu masih ada dan saya suka buka-buka lagi kalau sedang galau. Saya rasa wajar (atau tidak?), karena Brainwave itu pacar dan mantan pertamaku. :)
  2. My ever first crush: pas waktu SD di Sinjai, teman kelas 3, namanya Jaka. Pas Facebook booming, saya menemukan akun FBnya, tapi sayang, dia sudah meninggal. :’(
  3. Sempat naksir sama senior di kampus; Kak Cokke (who’s not?). Tapi kandas saat tahu betapa serasinya dia bersama Kak Sari.
  4. Pas jadi remaja SMP dan SMA sama sekali bukan anak gaul, asli kuper. Tidak memahami arti ‘masa-masa paling indah, masa-masa di sekolaaah”. Lebih bahagia masa-masa SD di Ikip. 
  5. Setiap lihat, kenalan dan berteman sama cewek-cewek cantik, bahkan berada dalam radius sekian meter saja, selalu merasa terintimidasi.


Sekian.
Semoga dengan postingan ini, tantangan dari Kak Ema, Kak Dwi dan Kak Rahe yang tiba-tiba di Twitter, bisa terpenuhi. Sekarang tantangan ini saya ingin teruskan kepada,… ehem!

Umroh. Astrid. Vby. Kak Nani dan Kak Anbhar : Bloggers Astamedia. :)

Love, :)
