Bertahan

Lihat aku di sini
Kau lukai
hati dan perasaan ini


Tapi entah mengapa
aku bisa
memberikan maaf padamu


Mungkin karena cinta padamu
tulus dari dasar hatiku

---

Lagu di atas judulnya adalah Bertahan, dinyanyikan oleh Rama. Beberapa hari yang lalu, Nie mendengarkan lagu ini untuk pertama kalinya (maklum agak kuper untuk lagu-lagu baru). Karena tidak merasa ada yang special dengan lagu ini,, dan secara yang nyanyi juga tipe-tipe cowok yang mati segan hidup tak mau, Nie cuek aja mendengarkan lagu ini. Lalu tiba-tiba, Stefy bilang “ini adalah lagu yang menemani aku. Ceritanya persis banget sama aku.”

Trus, Nie dengarkan lagi lagunya dengan seksama.

Lihat aku di sini
Bertahan
walau kau s’lalu menyakiti

Hingga air mataku
tak dapat
menetes dan habis terurai

Mungkin karena
cinta
padamu
tulus dari dasar hatiku


Dengan cueknya, Nie bilang “Ah, berlebihan, mosok aku pernah menyakiti kamu segitunya!Dia diam. Tidak ketawa, tidak cekakakan, hanya diam, dengan wajah yang cukup serius. Nie bingung, kapan ya Nie pernah menyakiti Stefy sebegitunya. Perasaan dulu pas di Belanda nggak pernah melakukan hal-hal yang nista.

Heh, yang bener, yang, kapan aku pernah nyakitin kamu sebegitunya? Emang aku pernah buat apa pas di Belanda?” Stefy tetap ngga jawab. Nie bingung.

Lama Nie berpikir dan,.. voila! Ternyata yang dimaksud Stefy adalah saat Nie ‘main-main’ dengan Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned. “Ya ampun, itu toh maksudnya!” (ungkapan yang sangat bego untuk diucapkan di saat-saat mellow-bellow seperti itu). Kata Nie dengan segala kepolosan.


Kejadian you-know-what sudah berlalu, kira-kira 1,5 tahun. Nie ngga pernah nyangka kalau peristiwa itu telah menorehkan luka sedalam-dalamnya di hati Stefy. Nie pikir itu adalah sebuah kebodohan yang everybody does it, dan Stefy must have understood that. Ternyata tidak! Ternyata peristiwa itu benar-benar membuat Stefy bertanya: “is this pain worth the love I have for this woman?

Dan pada saat itu pula, Nie bertanya “Do I really like this guy (read: Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned) that I could love him?

Hidden crisis, itulah yang terjadi pada saat itu. Nie, yang sekarang bingung kenapa dulu ngga bisa melukapan Mr. the-name-should-not-be-mentioned, pada saat itu sangat susah untuk tidak berhubungan dengan Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned. Stefy, yang sangat benci pada Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned dan tidak habis pikir what was on my mind, merasa udah give up menasehati Nie dan merasa kehilangan harga dirinya.

Nie tahu, hanya ada satu pribadi yang memegang kuat hubungan kami. He is called Jesus Christ. First, Dia memegang kuat tali hubungan kami, dan kedua, Ia meletakkan everlasting forgiveness in Stefy’s heart, sehingga ia mampu mengampuni Nie dan menyayangi Nie seperti sedia kala.

Meski
kau terus sakiti aku
Cinta ini
akan selalu memaafkan

Dan aku
percaya nanti engkau
Mengerti
bila cintaku takkan mati


Praise the Lord, semuanya sekarang much better dari sebelum-belumnya. Nie sekarang sudah tahan mental, biarpun Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned tiap hari nongol di chat room atau kirim SMS or telpon, Nie sudah tidak ‘tergoda’. Mungkin benar kata Iphien, once upon a time, “kamu tuh cuma penasaran, Nie!

Sekarang, yang Nie takutin mungkin cuma satu, kalau one day Stefy ketemu (lagi) dengan Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned, karena Stefy uda janji, dia bakal ngajakin Mr. his-name-should-not-be-mentioned having Men’s talk (please help me to define what Men's talk supposes to mean)

Sigh,…..

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live...
