Aline

"Tidak berniat mencari pacar?"
"Tidak."
"Mengapa tidak?"
"Karena namaku Aline."
"Lalu?"
"Yang berarti seorang diri."

Terkadang, ia tidak mengerti jalan pikiran orang di hadapannya ini. Aline, yang karena arti namanya, tidak ingin memiliki kekasih hati. Saat ia sudah berganti-ganti pasangan beberapa kali. Bahkan menembak dan memutuskan beberapa orang dalam satu bulan, gadis di hadapannya masih betah menjalani kehidupannya sendiri, tanpa pernah mendekati dan didekati laki-laki.

"Kamu suka laki-laki?"

Aline mengerutkan dahi, kemudian tertawa.

"Mungkin. Ya, tidak tahu."
"Mau kukenalkan dengan seseorang?"

Aline tertawa terbahak-bahak, kemudian menjawab.

"Minimal, dia harus setampan Zayn Malik, atau Harry Styles, dan mungkin, secantik Isyana Sarasvati. Jika tidak, maka aku tidak mau."

"Kau benar-benar membuatku ngeri sekarang."

Aline hanya tertawa dan terdiam untuk beberapa menit. Kemudian berkata.

"Hei. Jika aku bilang, aku suka kamu, bagaimana?"
"Jangan."
"Kenapa?"
"Karena aku tidak setampan Zayn Malik atau Harry Styles. Apalagi secantik Isyana."
"Kalau begitu, aku akan tetap menjadi Aline."
"Maksudnya?"
"Yang berarti seorang diri."

Thoughts on Birthday

Birthday should be one of the special day in a year. Not because of the present you will get, but for me, it's because of the prayer. Birthday is beautiful because of the people who celebrate your birthday come with all those good wishes. Have a long life, be happy, have a joyful birthday. Simple words, but i love it the most. Some people also add on extra beautiful words. Thank you for being born. Thank you for holdin on til now. Or even thank you for being my friend. Thank you for spending your life with me. I can't hold back my tears when i read all those words in my birthday greeting chats or letters. I'm so thankful. Receiving presents and foods on my birthday is indeed make me happy. But, a simple "happy birthday" is really enough. I'm so thankful even with that simple phrase. Birthday is not about gettin all those presents. It's also not about partying all night long in a 5 star hotel. It's about sincere prayer your families, your friends, or ev...

Pesan dari Seorang Teman

"Kalo gabut mah chat gue aja, kali." "Gimana, gimana? Cerita dong!" " Are you ok ?" "Lo kangen gue, ya?" Ting! Tanda pesan masuk. Perempuan itu menatap layar telepon genggamnya, membaca pesan, dan meninggalkannya tak berbalas. "Ah, basa-basi lagi," gumamnya. Layar telepon genggamnya masih menyala, menampilkan pesan dengan satu kata, kangen.

Basically, We are Alone.

Yap. Basically, we are alone. Most of us were born alone. At least, i was born alone. That's why i often feel like i spent most of my time alone. It's some kind of healing for me. I don't hate people, but sometimes, interacting with others drained my energy more than doing my assignments did. I don't hate people, but still, please let me be in my little bubble, where i feel the most comfortable. Before this covid things, i already love to stay in my room, scrolling down the timeline, reading a lot of books, or laying on my bed. Sometimes, i love to go out and hang out with my friends and family. After this covid happens, it got worse. Interacting with other people really make me tired. I might be go out for a day, chitchat with my friend for a day, but after that, i would definitely stay in my little bubble for a month to recharge my energy. I hate it when someone force me to visit someone house or to interact with other people. If i don't want to, then whyyy?! And ...
