RIRIS AND I

Mengapa Aku Kenang Lagi?

Setelah berbulan-bulan tiada komunikasi

Tiba-tiba aku ingin berjumpa kembali

Dear, dear, dear, diriku sendiri,

Apa kabarmu hari ini?

Kau tak akan salah sangka, ya,

Pasti kau langsung tahu ini aku,

Siapa lagi?

Memang ada orang lain yang seiseng ini sama kamu?

Tidak pernah ada, bukan?

Ya sudah, langsung saja kalau begitu,

Tidak perlu ditebak,

Meski orang lain masih menebak-nebak,

Tapi tak penting,

Yang penting adalah:

Apakah aku masih jadi orang yang penting di matamu?

Tentu aku berharap iya,

Sebab bagiku kau masih jadi orang yang berarti,

Apalagi dalam hitungan bulan kau ‘kan pergi jauh ke Kediri,

Meninggalkan aku yang pasti sangat sedih,

Dari :

Wong Kurang Kerjaan Yang Sayang Sama Kamu Sebab Takdir Tuhan Pertemukan Kita Yang Bernama Panggilan Sama, Selisih Tanggal Lahir Hanya Satu Hari

Maaf sebelumnya, tapi tolong setidaknya beri kesan yang baik sama aku agar aku tak perlu bersedih hati sebab kamu tiada respek/hormat sama aku

DAY 1

Today I’m so happy because I met Adek after nine months separated. I never thought of seeing her again since I heard from Itak that she hated me so much. However, today she was nice. She laughed with me, shared stories, and stared each other as if we didn’t want to lose a moment.

I knew from her that she still keep my letters. I was surprised. I thought she was mad to me and threw away the letters long time ago. Well, she didn’t. It proved that she still has much care to me.

After I got the permission to send Nia home, I was stopped by her mother and I could not refuse it. They took me to Samba cafetaria near the police station. It was not the best meal I ever had that day, but, I could never be able to describe the feeling inside. I kept smiling until darkness dropped me into bed(Riris).

DAY 2

If you asked me who is Intan two months ago I would probably say that she is my rainbow, but now, the answer will be different. Who is she? Well, I don’t know. I haven’t met her for weeks. The last time she saw me was about three weeks ago when she came to type her assignment. So, it’s not too strange to say that today, she’s no one.

To make it clear, I didn’t celebrate my new year’s eve with her. In fact, I traveled around the town with Nia and Riris. I asked permission from their mother and she gave it. That morning I went straight to her place and couldn’t stop smiling for Nia had not taken a bath yet, and she smells so horrible.

We went to a net center nearby until eleven o’clock. It was raining hard outside. Their mother sent me SMS worrying we would go far to Surabaya. I told her that we were so close to their dormitory.

Riris met her friends at the net center and I knew one of them, but I kept silent. I took them around to Giant, Matahari, and Plaza. Nia and Riris always refused my offer. I didn’t understand why. Fortunately they accept it. So, we had fun that day (Riris).
