A Paid-Off



I used to live the days with you as the lighter to get happiness up. You were genuinely witty — you made me giggle! You gave me some butterflies just by thinking of times when will I see you again or catched your sweetnesses.

Yet, you let me down since I found you were easy come easy go as just the way how you live. Lastly, I did leave it off and moved forward — as if you had never existed.

I thought you would never be a merry-makerIn the wake of separation. But your unexpectedly arrival when I didn’t even wish for, made a laughter was unbearable, with a sarcasm face — nonetheless it urged me to change the storyline.  

And choosing a no way back as the end of tale It’s a paid-off,  just so you know my presence was once there for you who were always a cryptic, now I have unhooked the line and you notice every little piece of you — missing me. 

Too late.

A Fairytale

What is the best part of dreaming?
What is the happiest thing of imagining?
Let me tell you a story ....


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl, named Allesia, she lived in a small wooden house in the middle of forest.
She was lonely. She didn't have anyone but her friends that were just the sparrows which always sang to wake her up in the morning and the owls which always hooted and made twit twit a woo to remind her the evening already approached.
She loved gardening. Everyday, she watered her own flower garden. She always looked sunny when bees perched and butterflies flew around her flowers.

One day, she heard a hoof nearby her house. She peeped through the window and she looked a prince charming with a perky noble clothing herding a horse.
He looked confused, so she finally decided to go outside.

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this garden?" he greeted first.
"Yes, I am. May I know who are you and what is your intention coming here?" asked Allesia.
"My name is Prince Aaron. I come from Kingdom of Parthia. My dad is ill. I'm looking for a rare medicinal plant called Arne. I heard that it can only be found in this forest," he answered.
"Oh. I planted some Arne. I can pick it for you. But, this plant needs to be genuinely formulated or it can be a toxic." explained Allesia.
"Ah, I have not known yet about it. Can you help me, Miss?"
"Yes. Sure."

Allesia concocted the potion and the Prince could not stop staring at her. He found this girl was so beautiful, kind, dexterous, and something that he was not able to explain. Allesia knew she was stared but she pretended not to care eventhough she could not deny she was nervous.

"May I come over here to meet you tomorrow, Miss?" Prince Aaron asked after she had done.
"Ah... I... I... Mmm... Sure. But I have nothing worth to welcome you, Young Majesty," she lowered her head.
"No. It doesn't matter. I just want to see you again," he smiled.
"I should go back to the kingdom and thank you for your help," he said again. Allesia stood in front of the door watching him went away riding his horse until he disappeared behind the big trees, out of the forest. She unconsciously smiled. She could not believe what had just happened on that day.

On the next day, Prince Aaron truly came up to meet Allesia. They both became close and even almost everyday spent their time together. They realized they had fallen in love to each other.

One day, dry season suddenly stormed and caused the death in blossom. She became sad. When Prince Aaron arrived at her house, he got Allesia was crying in the corner of her bed. She looked in misery.
He hugged her and whispered on her ears, "I know what you feel and you can cry as much as you want. I'm here for you," then he touched her chin to turn her head to see him, "Hey, look at me. You know, I love you with all of my heart. I found something that I could never find in someone else when the first time I looked at you. I can't live without you."
"Eventhough I am not a princess...?" asked Allesia, was still bursting out tears.
"You are my beautiful princess. You have knocked my door with your tender heart. You give me a precious love that I've never felt before. You are the queen of my heart and it will always be. I will bring you to live with me and you can take care of Kingdom's Garden and re-plant any flowers that you want.
"May I?"
"Yes. So, will you marry me?" Prince Aaron wiped her tears away and held her hands. Allesia nodded and hugged her beloved one.

They finally got married and lived together at the Kingdom of Parthia. Allesia had a 'Princess' in front of her name. And she had her garden back over there, even it was bigger and more beautiful than hers in the forest.

At one night, Prince Aaron and Princess Allesia sat in their lovely garden.
"Hey, can you see those fireflies? They are so shining like you. They are the ones which light up the night and so do you. You have brightened my darkest side," said Allesia.
"And can you see those stars in the sky? They are like you who have adorned me and my life," Prince Aaron pointed a star with his forefinger and continued, "Look at the brightest star above. It's you. You are the one and only who will always be my brightest love in the deepest of my heart." Then he kissed his beautiful princess softly.
"I love you..."
"I love you too..."
Prince Aaron and Princess Allesia lived happily ever after.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I often imagined love stories with a happy ending.
I was a fully dreamer who sadly got afraid to be a catcher.
I used to try to be, but I only got pains and it gave me a very deep wound in my heart.
Sometimes, I had the wounds that were still wet, were repeatedly wrecked again.
I did even have no time at all to heal.
It caused me never want to believe in love no more. 
I built a fence around my heart for not being shattered again since I knew real life ain't as fancy as a fairytale.
All hope was lost. There were only fears and doubt since I felt real love ain't as sweet as a fairytale.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until one day .... When I was dreaming for the umpteenth time of my life ...

"Hey, can you hear me?" someone whispered me. "Open your eyes," he sounded tenderly.
I could hear him.
But I was too afraid to lose my beautiful dream.
I was too scared to destroy my imaginations.
This life is so cruel, I told myself.

"Open your eyes, Princess." I could feel he was warmly holding my hand.
And oh! He just called me Princess! It brought my mind up into the deeper fantasy of mine. I wondered why did his sound make me really want to wake up. I couldn't even control my breath.

Thereafter, I slowly opened eyes. There was a good looking man sitting beside me. He hadn't taken my hands off yet. I felt a tremble that I couldn't explain.
He moved closer and in a second later his face was truly close to me as there was no distance between us.
I could hear his breath blew my face. My heart started beating so fast when he looked at my eyes.

"You fell asleep again, Miss Sleepyhead," he awakened me from my reverie.
"Ah. Sorry... I overslept," I giggled.
"It's okay, come on get up, You remember we have lot of fun things to do today, don't you?" he smiled.
He was just about to stand up to leave my room when I suddenly pulled his hand and made him turn around,  "Hey...."
"Yeah, beautiful, what's wrong?"
"Umm... I just want to say thank you for coming to my life and bring back all hope that seemed lost."
He sat back beside me, softly caressed my hair and said, "I'm happy I can be the part of your life. You are so special to me. You enliven my life. I will never leave you. I love you..." Then he hugged and kissed me gently.  
Fairytale becomes real !

xxx Hey, show me that my own fairytale will become infinitely wonderful! Together, we'll make and sing our melody of love.  :) xxx

The One You Once Loved Is Leaving



 


You came such the sun after the rain.
I was crying and smiled afterwards.

You stayed such the moon in the night.

I was blind to see the happiness of love,

then you lifted me up, enlightened my days.

You loved me such in a Cinderella Story that has its happy ending.

You promised we would always be together forever.

And now the one I once loved is leaving…..

You were gone such thorns in a rose.

You looked beautiful but I had never thought,

it would be a deep wound that I didn’t even know how to heal,

when I was seeing you finally walked away.

I had been hurting such 24 hours in a day.

It was going on without know when would it stop.

And now the one that already hurt me so is springing to my mind....


I remember you such we only had good memories.

As if I’ve never been hurt.

As my heart is still calling your name.
______________________________________________________________________

I Remember Even When You Haven’t Asked Me Yet

I know you are gonna get mad and disappointed that caused by what I said to you a few minutes ago.

I know you wanted me to say something sweet in our eight months anniversary.

I know you wished I will remember our day.

I know too much things, even things that you do not say to me.

I know because I always get the flash of pieces of incidents which automatically come to my mind and form to be a short story.

Do you know that knowing too much things can hurt me so badly?

It brings me into hard situation whether I have to act according to the flash or I have to act like I have not known anything.


Do you ever spend a little bit of your times to think about these:

My feeling is so sick. Sick of missing you. Sick of knowing that I just can say “I Miss You” without can to meet you.

My heart is filled by pain. Pain of only be able to get your texts. Pain of having you who cannot even talk sweetly for once in a while.

I do not ask you to be romantic. For me, we already got better in talking without want to hide anything.

I am happy everytime we are teasing each other and sharing a joke, even using ourselves as a spoof.

But there will be a time when I want to be serious. I want to hear you saying something nice on my ears. I want to feel your love through your sweetness and careness.


I don’t want to force you to give me such a compliment.

I don’t want to make situation as if I am not worth to get it. Because I am really worth. That’s why I have been questioning “Is it hard for you to do?”

But  I just want you to take a little time,  keep silent, think clearly, and answer this with your deepest heart.


As long as you stay with me,  haven’t you realize that I am actually a sweet person that always loving you with my tender heart?

I am a girl who always show and take care of you by my own ways.

I am a girl who still care even when we are getting fight and comprised by anger.

I am a girl who honestly crying in the silence everytime I pretend or try not to care about you.


We know there are GIVE and RECEIVE in a relationship. And we have to keep it balance.

Everytime I do GIVING, I never wish to RECEIVE as many as what I have given.

But when it doesn’t keep balance, my heart will be filled by pain and hurt.

So I try not to give much, but I choose to equalize you by reducing what I always give to you.

That’s better than I should continuously give you much but receive hurt too much.


And that’s a thing that recently always make me think hardly till crying without known by you there.

And this disappointment is growing more than I thought.

I was trying to act as usual when you sent some text and questioned “Do you forget one thing today?”

I answered, “Forget about what? I am so sleepy,” replied me, still crying.

But from the bottom of my heart, I answered just to myself, “Today is a sign that we have reached eight months being together.”

I am neither your head nor follower. If one of us is in too far ahead or left behind, there is something wrong in us. So we should being together to work it out!

Then I wrote this.


My dear……..

I felt so sad pretending like I forget about our day. Sorry……… I just……… I just wanted to finish this letter without having to cry louder.

I was writing this letter when I said going to sleep.



My dear………

I didn’t forget this day. I already remember even when you haven’t asked me yet :)

I cannot say something sweet that you probably wished before. But these are words from the deepest of my heart. 


 ♥HAPPY 8 MONTHS ANNIVERSARY!

Teruntuk 'dia' yang pernah mengecewakan aku, kemudian kembali datang hanya tuk mengulangi kesalahan yang sama.

Teruntuk mereka yang pernah menyia – nyiakan seseorang yang sesungguhnya adalah yang paling berarti.

Teruntuk siapa pun yang pernah dikecewakan, di sia-siakan, namun kini telah terbebas dari belenggu luka akibat ‘MEREKA’ :)



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pernah ada suatu masa dimana kita berpisah bahkan tanpa saling mengucapkan selamat tinggal.

Hari itu kata – kata yang tidak pantas tuk diucapkan banyak terucap dari bibirmu.

“Betapa percaya dirinya kamu! Aku takkan pernah merindukan kamu.”

“Ada baiknya bila kau mengubah perilakumu bila masih ingin ada seseorang yang menginginkan kamu suatu hari nanti.”

“Aku bukanlah pria bodoh. Aku bisa mencari yang lebih dari kamu.”

Hari itu cinta seakan tersembunyi. Ia tak lagi tampak.

Atau bahkan tak dapat terlihat lagi sosoknya.

Atau mungkin cinta telah jatuh tenggelam dalam lautan ego.

Hari itu ego seperti hembusan nafas tuk menghidupkan benakmu yang sesungguhnya mati sekaligus melumpuhkan hatimu yang sebenarnya masih menyimpan cinta.



Hari itu luka yang kuterima darimu menganga semakin lebar.

Tanpa sempat kuselesaikan waktu tuk memulihkan bagian yang pernah terluka.

Tanpa sempat untukku menambal lagi luka baru yang masih basah satu – persatu.

Hingga ku memilih tuk menikmati seluruhnya.

Hingga ku memilih tuk berusaha tak memunculkan keluh meski peluh seakan tak pernah berhenti.

Aku membiarkan diriku mencecap seluruhnya.

Sampai nanti segalanya mengering.

Aku membiarkan air mata menjadi teman sebelum tidurku setiap malam yang bahkan tak pernah lagi bisa lelap.

Sampai nanti takkan ada lagi air mata akibat menahan pedih – perih.



Dan hari itu juga aku tahu....

Suatu hari nanti kamu akan kembali....lagi....

Kembali dengan berpura – pura lupa pada kata – kata yang pernah terucap di hari kita berpisah.

Suatu hari nanti kamu akan kembali....lagi....

Entah untuk memperbaiki kembali cinta yang pernah koyak.

Atau untuk menorehkan kembali luka untuk kedua kali.

Dan hari itu juga semilir angin bagai menjelma menjadi sosok pengingat, berhembus membisikkan beberapa penggal kata, “Yang kedua....Dia datang untuk tujuan yang kedua.”

Saat semuanya hanya baru sebatas dugaan. Sebatas angan.



************

Enam hari yang lalu. Pagi hari.



Aku terbangun dari tidurku dan mendapati dirimu kembali datang.

Sempat tak percaya hingga aku berkali – kali mencubit kedua pipiku.

Hanya demi membuktikan bahwa ini bukanlah mimpi.

Ya……. Memang benar kamu.

Sosokmu datang di setengah perjalananku membenamkan seluruh kenangan tentang kita.


Kedua bahuku yang mulai terasa ringan melepaskan beban yang membelenggu,

kini kembali terasa berat seperti dihantam sebongkah batu besar.

Kedua kakiku yang mulai melangkah ringan tuk beranjak meninggalkan masa lalu.

kini kembali terasa berat seperti terantuk sesuatu di tengah jalan.

Luka di sana-sini yang perlahan telah mulai mengering seiring berjalannya waktu.

kini kembali terasa pedih sebab luka baru seperti rindu untuk hinggap dalam diriku.

Dan satu – satunya hatiku yang pernah koyak menjadi kepingan – kepingan yang patah,

hatiku yang mulai dapat utuh kembali,

kini perlahan seperti mulai kembali retak.


Aku mendapati kenangan yang berusaha aku kubur dalam kotak yang tak ingin kubuka lagi kembali terkuak.

Aku mendapati diriku kembali berharap tuk bersama – sama dengan kamu.

Aku mendapati hatiku kembali ingin diperjuangkan oleh kamu.

Namun aku pun mendapati logikaku kembali berseru untuk tak menerima kedatanganmu beserta luka yang sudah pasti kau bawa untuk ditorehkan lagi.

Sebab hati hanya mendahulukan perasaan. Sementara logika menyingkap kenyataan.



Aku mendapati kamu kembali datang.
Bertanya berulang kali, "Apa yang harus aku lakukan agar dapat bersama - sama dengan kamu lagi?"
Bodoh. Lantas apa gunanya kamu kembali?  

Aku mendapati kamu kembali datang.

Tanpa ada cara tuk memperjuangkanku kembali.

Tanpa ada usaha tuk membuatku mempercayaimu kembali.
 


Aku mendapati kamu kembali datang.

Dengan membawa luka.

Dengan menggoreskan lagi sayat sembilu untuk kedua kali.

Dengan menciptakan kekecewaan untuk kedua kali.

Dengan menghadirkan tangis untuk kesekian kali.
___________________________________________________________________________________   
"Mereka yang hidup di masa lalu, kemudian kembali, seharusnya datang dengan perjuangan lebih. Bukan hanya membawa sesal namun tak berbuat apa - apa."

"Atau mungkin memang aku sudah semestinya menutup pintu rapat - rapat tanpa harus membukanya kembali sekalipun kamu datang?"
___________________________________________________________________________________


Aku mendapati diriku baru saja menoleh sejenak ke belakang. Menyakitkan.
___________________________________________________________________________________
“Manusia boleh menoleh ke masa lalu, namun tidak untuk berjalan mundur. Itu sebab mengapa kepala hanya dapat menatap lurus ke depan, namun tidak pernah bisa untuk diputar ke belakang.”
___________________________________________________________________________________


Pada suatu masa. Terletak di hatimu.



Aku pernah berdiri di sana.

Malu – malu menatapmu.

Meski akhirnya kamu mengundangku masuk,

dan aku membiarkan diriku terhempas dalam sosokmu yang memesonaku.

Aku pernah berdiri di sana.

Menikmati adanya segumpal rasa bahagia yang tercipta.

Menikmati rasanya dicintai dan dijaga olehmu.

Namun sayang, perlahan segalanya berubah sebab waktu berputar terlalu cepat.


Aku pernah menetap di sana.

Merelakan diriku mematung.

Menunggu kepulangan ‘sosokmu yang menyenangkan’

Seperti saat pertama kali kita bertemu.

Namun sayang, sosok itu tak kunjung datang.


Aku pernah menetap di sana.

Mengorbankan hampir seluruh perasaanku.

Mengesampingkan hampir setiap lelah.

Menyembunyikan hampir setiap tetes air mata.

Demi sosokmu yang bahkan tak pernah dapat sedikit pun melihat meski tuk sejenak.


Aku pernah menetap di sana.

Berusaha tetap menghadirkan seulas senyum.

Dengan berangan – angan kisah kita akan berakhir bahagia,

seperti cerita dalam dongeng.

Berusaha bertahan.

Namun sayang, hatiku menolak tuk bertahan.


Aku pernah menjadikan diriku sebagai rumah.

Rumah untuk tempatmu pulang.

Saat dirimu tak tahu harus berlari kemana.

Saat dirimu tersesat dan tak tahu dimana tempat tuk bersandar.

Saat dirimu tak punya siapapun tuk berbagi keluh – kesah.

Saat dirimu masih memiliki aku.

Namun sayang, rumah itu telah tiada. Kini.


Aku pernah sempat mengharapmu datang.

Namun sayang, kamu terlambat pulang.
______________________________________________________________________________________


Pandanglah ke cermin. Bayangmu 'kan menunjuk dirimu dan mengucap, “Itu adalah kamu…… Dan ‘rumah’mu t’lah hilang.”



Pandanglah aku. 'Kan kutunjuk dirimu dan mengucap, “Itu adalah kamu……… Dan ‘aku’ pun t’lah hilang. Karenamu.”



"Sebab untuk mencari yang lebih dari aku adalah mudah. Namun untuk kau mencari kembali 'rumah' yang hilang? Sulit.Terlebih ketika kau pernah melepaskan satu."
 

“Sebab aku tak mungkin lagi menjadi tempat perhentian untukmu, kenanglah aku sebagai tempat persinggahan ternyaman yang pernah kamu miliki.”
