Tali Tak Berujung

Post pertama dan terakhir di minggu terakhir bulan Maret.

Bulan ini menjadi bulan yang sibuk untuk aku, sebagai seorang pelajar, sampai-sampai menjadi tidak produktif untuk hampir satu bulan ini. Sibuk dalam menghadapi try out. Sibuk mengikuti pendalaman materi. Sibuk "menghantui" guru-guru. Dan sibuk memikirkan hati ini.

Sebenernya hati ini pun sudah sibuk sejak aku belum sesibuk ini. Sibuk mencari sebuah kebenaran. Sibuk mencari sebuah jalan keluar dari sebuah "gang buntu". Sibuk mencari sebuah kejelasan.

Sebuah tali. Tak terlihat. Hanya aku dan kamu. Kamu tidak mengerti kalau aku menggenggam tali ini begitu erat, tapi kamu? Hanya mengikatnya di batang pohon depan rumahmu. Kamu tidak tahu kalau aku menjaganya agar tidak lepas atau terputus, tapi kamu? Hanya tidur-tiduran santai di bawah pohon. Sampai pada akhirnya kamu menghampiriku dan berkata, "Untuk apa kamu memegangnya erat-erat? Menjaganya walaupun hari sedang terik. Sudah, lepaskan saja. Apa kamu tidak lihat kalau aku tidak memegangnya? Aku tadi kan sudah bilang kalau kamu bisa melepaskannya saja dan mebiarkan tergeletak di tanah ini. Untuk apa kamu terus berjuang? Aku juga sudah memilih untuk menggulung tali ini dan menaruhnya di dalam gudang. Aku akan mencari pergi sebentar, kamu diam saja di rumah ya." Aku hanya bisa menganggukan kepala dan kembali ke rumah. Sudah hampir setengah hari dan dia belum pulang. "Kemana saja dia? Jam segini belum kembali.", kataku dalam hati.

Akhirnya, lime menit kemudian dia kembali. Aku hanya bisa terdiam saat aku membukakan pintu. Dia kembali dengan seutas tali baru. Tali yang semua orang bisa melihatnya. Tali indah berwarna merah muda dan berhiaskan kerlap-kerlip. Sontak aku terdiam. Aku tidak mengerti untuk apa tali itu. Aku melihat dia memegang erat ujung talinya, dan aku mencari keberadaan dimana ujung satunya lagi. Setelah ku telusuri, ternyata ujung satunya lagi berakhir di sebuah ruangan. Samar-samar aku melihat ada seseorang yang memegang ujung itu. Siapa dia......

Diam....... Hanya itu yang bisa aku lakukan. Aku hanya bisa terdiam dan terus menatap ke seberang. Tanganku gemetar dan kakiku lemas. Hampir aku roboh karena kaki ini tidak bisa menopang berat tubuhku dan juga berat perasaan di dalamnya. Dunia seakan terhenti. Sekarang aku baru menyadari maksud perkataannya tadi siang. 

Aku memang bodoh. Aku tetap saja bertahan padahal tidak ada yang harus dipertahankan. Toh, dia tadi bilang kalau aku bisa membiarkannya tergeletak di tanah, tapi aku tetap bersih keras untuk menggenggam erat. Sekarang semuanya sudah jelas. Jelas sudah suruhan dia untuk membiarkan tali itu tergeletak di tanah.

Untuk apa aku mempertahankan tali yang tidak jelas itu? Untuk apa aku bertahan seorang diri? Sesungguhnya aku tetap bertahan untuk mencari sebuah kejelasan. Kejelasan bahwa aku akan berakhir tanpamu.

Modern Rutherford's Theory

You know, there's an unseen boundary in an atom, and so we as human beings also can relate to that. Looks like you're the core and I'm the orbit that covers you. Some electrons are found in the orbit. The particle keeps the core and the orbit away and stable. People see this figure as one form, but actually the electron can not fall into the core and this theory can not be explained. It happens to us as well. We know we're so close... but something will not let us meet just like the electron and the core. We still preserve each other without impairing the system. We are one with a transparent barrier.

Happiness.

Orange-and-cloudy-waving sky.
Desired place.
Pleasurable atmosphere.
Unstoppable laughter.
Thread of memories.
A little bit regret.
Grateful love. 
A "used to be" relation.
Bothersome past.

These things are called, happiness. You may disagree with my statement. Instead of mourn these lists, I persuade you to flip your next page and write a list about your present nor past and beautify that pages. I believe you will see a grateful thing.

It Doesn't Matter

In the beginning of the third grade, my physics teacher taught us about electrostatic. There's a formula explains if the distance between two point charges is farther then the force is weaker, and the opposite, if the distance is nearer then the force is stronger. 

"This formula is like our love life. If the distance between you and your boyfriend or girlfriend is far, so that the force is weak. Hahaha," he said and laughed. I kept silent for awhile and started thinking. Is this formula in effect in our life? Does long distance relationship work in real life?

Most of teenager who deal with long distance relationship can't keep it work. So many factors that can be excuses for the break, such as distance (for sure), own business, communication, schedule,  and trust. The hardest thing to keep is trust. It's like a jar, once you break it, you can fix it but the scratch still can be seen. 

Let me tell you an important thing. For me, as long as they are able to care each other, trust each other, and wait patiently, distance means nothing.

The Shadow

At coffee shop. It's 6 o'clock and still raining heavily outside. I'm sitting on the corner, alone. A cup of hot vanilla latte and a slice of red velvet are being my friends now. As the time flies, I have been sitting here almost an hour and I'm just watching at people who come either with their friends or family or maybe her boyfriend or his girlfriend. On the next table, a long-blonde-hair girl is playing with her unicorn doll and her brother is busy with his chocolate pancake. At table number five, there's a couple who are cuddling each other while waiting the waitress brings their orders. Suddenly, my iPhone turns on and there are some notifications come up at the same time. I take a look for awhile and reply it all.

As I'm too busy to stare at those creatures and reply notifications, my vanilla latte is getting cold. I'm sipping my drink, cutting my cake up into small chunks. Let's taste it. Hem..... I think this cake is pretty good with its moist red cake and sweet cream cheese on top. Don't worry, I almost always do this, two activities concurrently.

By the way, I'm still sitting here while everyone starts leaving this shop. I'm still waiting. What are you waiting for? I'm waiting for................... Him. This post is over as he comes in, I finish this last sentence and turn off my laptop.
