Lost Sight, Found Strength

The path is so dark and dim, but Julie keeps walking. She is scared, yet her adrenaline makes her look back several times, urging her to walk faster with each step. She wonders why she can't move faster and then realizes it's just her thoughts getting wilder the longer she's on the road. She shouldn't have chosen this path—terrified and confused. She's already halfway through. It sucks. The only way is to adapt, over time. She has one more block, two more, and again she convinces herself it's just one more step to her destination. She's no longer afraid when she starts looking at the sky instead of the road. The evening feels scarier when it's right in front of our eyes, but when it's above, the stars are beautiful. The cold air on her skin feels warmer as her mind grows calmer. Gently, she realizes that she's no longer worried. In fact, she's arrived, in no time. -- I think loneliness comes from the mind. It's not about being surrounded ...

Do you know why it's hard to say goodbye? Because we afraid if our memories might not be able to remember them, rightly. The fact is, goodbye means good. No matter how hard.

Putaran Lagu Sendu

Arka membuka layar notebook nya. Rambutnya yang pendek acak-acakan di bagian belakang, matanya sembap, dan ruangan kamarnya masih belum dihidupkan lampunya. Cahaya terang hanya bersumber dari mesin ketiknya. Ia duduk di kursi lipat besi dan Arka mulai merenggangkan sendi-sendi di badannya. Arka menunggu proses hidup layarnya ke dalam Windows. Ia sendiri sedang mengumpulkan nyawa.
Arka menguap sebentar dan di samping notebook nya, Arka mengambil kaca mata bulat nya yang tebal. Ia memakai dan menekan besi tengah kaca mata itu supaya dapat pas tersanggah di hidungnya. Arka mulai memandang layar mesin ketiknya. Ia membuka jendela-jendela aplikasi di dalamnya. Lalu, ia sempat tertawa sebentar. Ia membaca pesan line dari Endina. Arka hanya bergumam,
       "Bodoh."
Lalu, Arka membalas pesan itu. Arka menutup jendela tersebut. Ia membuka jendela Word. Arka mulai segera menekan 'Tab' pada keyboard. Arka menarik nafas dalam-dalam. Ia pun memulai tulisannya.

Sendra dan Hayutra
Sejak kecil tak pernah bertemu
Sejak muda juga tidak
Hingga beranjak dewasa

Sendra dan Hayutra
Bertemu di persimpangan
Laser melesat tanpa arah
Hayutra dikejar penjahat
Sendra keluar dari pintu
Klub malam berlampu neon

Sendra dan Hayutra
Tiga tahun lalu
Tatapan saling menegur
Hari ini seakan lampau
Hayutra berteriak
Sendra dan wanita lain
Sama saat pertama
Sendra berlari
Wanita lain sembunyi
Hayutra memeluk
Pakaian tercabik
Sendra melindungi
Laser tertembak

Sendra dan Hayutra
berlari keluar
Penjahat mendatangi
Sendra memerangi
Hayutra tersudutkan
Ia melihat pahlawan
Dan Sendra menang
Tangis membasahi
Hayutra aman
Waktu seakan cepat
Pertama kali bertemu
Tak kan pernah terlupakan

Sendra dan Hayutra
Tiga tahun lamanya
Sebuah rumah terbakar
Hayutra berteriak
Sendra dan wanita lain
Tak ada yang berubah
Air tak bisa memadamkan
Sendra memohon
Hayutra tenggelam
Lebih kejam dari penjahat
Berlari tetap tertangkap

Sendra dan Hayutra
Saling memandang
Hanya salah satunya
Sudah tidak bernyawa
Seseorang menyesal
Putaran lagu pertama
Terdengar jelas
Kembali dari awal
Seluruh kenangan
Terulang lagi

Sendra dan Hayutra
Siapa yang terbakar
Siapa yang tenggelam
Keduanya mendengar
Putaran lagu pertama
Di akhir kisah cinta
Satu hidup berakhir

Arka memandang layarnya dan suara ketikan keyboard tak terdengar. Arka menekan tombol 'stop' pada keyboardnya lalu ia mulai membuka-buka jendela di desktop dan folder di dalam notebook. Arka dengan cepat menekan-nekan, ia seperti tahu apa yang ia cari. 
Arka mendapatkan lagu berikutnya. Ia pun segera menekan tombol 'play'.

People thinking : Gay

 “Hey, no judgment, all God’s children, it’s fine! I was gay once for a while, no big deal. We all do it, it’s okay.” – Olive’s Dad from Easy A. I hate to find people to be gay because it's wrong. People murder also wrong. People do many mistakes. I'm not supporting them, I hate their wrong dos. But, it doesn't mean we should hate the people. So, Easy A really break down the whole issues and I appreciate it. How Olive's Dad mentioned the issue was really enlightened. So, what should we do? Telling gay is wrong, but no being mean.

Kelly's Night

Kelly's night was really weird. She saw a man has another man as his lover and wouldn't let him go. She was kind a jealous because he's so romantic with that man. Those two just didn't want to get separated. Later, she went to many places with the two. Like, looking at exhibition. Her mind got distracted. Until, that man's lover went leave the two alone. Kelly didn't realize she's alone with the man, instead she's been focus on a painting. Like in a room, on a bed there's a man, half naked with jeans, put his one warm hand on his own stomach and other looking at a phone. It's like a gesture of seeing a screen, but he seems happy and chat. Like a video call. There's something about deep love the person in that painting by giving that look. And, somehow Kelly heard someone's talking. That man was standing all the time next to her. He asked about what she was seeing in the painting. It was something else. Something else that put the man ...
