Tak kuasa diriku terbenam, dan tertohok dengan kehadiran sosok Kugy di dalam buku Perahu Kertas yang baru kubaca. Sebuah fase dalam hidupnya yang digambarkan dengan perubahan drastis dirinya karena cinta yang tak jelas itu lebih kurang mirip dengan apa yang pernah kualami. Membacanya, aku benar2 bisa merasakan kepedihan hatinya yang dalam. Sosok Kugy digambarkan menjalani proses metamorfosis dari sosok yang extrovert menjadi introvert karena kehilangan sosok Keenan. Lebih tepatnya merasa kehilangan sosok Keenan sebagai sahabat, dan juga lebih dari itu.
Sebelum hatiku porak poranda, aku adalah pribadi yang bisa dibilang..menyenangkan. Riang, kocak, penuh celotehan dan celetukan ringan yang bisa membuat orang2 di sekelilingku terkekeh garing, atau minimal mesam mesem ga keruan. Namun saat hatiku porak poranda, aku berubah. Persis seperti Kugy saat hatinya hancur. Kontan aku berubah jadi pribadi yang aneh. Aku kabur ke Bandung dengan maksud menenangkan diri. Sahabat2 yang menemaniku berjalan2 sepanjang hari2ku di sana pun berulang kali bertanya "lo knapa sih? sumpah ini nggak elo banget" atau "asli ini bukan Ayu yang gue kenal". Aku pun sesungguhnya bertanya2 kenapa aku begini. Murung, sering melamun, paling banter pura2 seneng yang cuman kedok atas kesedihanku. Aku kehilangan semangat, hidup hampir ga ada artinya kalo nggak karena kekuatan dari sahabat2. Hari2 kelabu, ga bergairah. Deadline dan kerjaan dikerjakan serius, semata2 untuk mengalihkan perhatian. Transformasi ini bertahan hingga suatu saat, aku memutuskan untuk pergi jauh. Hidup ini adalah pilihan. Kalau aku tinggal, aku tak tahu sampai kapan aku akan terus seperti ini. Sama seperti Kugy yang akhirnya menyibukkan diri, atau Keenan yang minggat ke Bali. Aku pun minggat. Ga pake da de do, ga pake banyak perhitungan, sebagian besar adalah faktor nekat, aku pun pergi meninggalkan negeri, teman2, sahabat2, dan keluarga. Memulai babak baru kehidupan, di belahan dunia yang lain. Kedoknya lebih dahsyat, mengukuhkan pendidikan. Sebagian kecil orang saja yang paham motif sesungguhnya di balik semua itu. Alhamdulillah pada akhirnya aku berhasil kembali ke wujud asalku yang dulu setelah melalui berbagai proses, termasuk sesungukan di jendela kamar mengenang segala yang pernah dilalui. Aku butuh momen itu, setidaknya itulah titik balikku untuk menyadari bahwa ada kalanya 'melepas' bukan berarti kalah dan kata hati tak pernah berbohong.
Mudah2an suatu saat seseorang itu bisa memahami bahwa aku pernah memiliki keteguhan hati atas aku, kamu, dan kita sehingga pada saat itu goyah...sebagian hatiku luruh... Ya..segitu berartinya kamu buat aku saat itu. Sebagai sahabat, kakak, teman berbagi, dan sosok spesial.
Perahu Kertas is a highly recommended book to read..four thumbs up for dee..

organt transplant
Udah lama gue nggak nonton Grey's Anatomy dan baru pas sampe disini aja gue mulai nonton lagi. Teteup masih doyan dengan segala keseruan di rumah sakitnya itu. Anyway di sebuah episode, Meredith ada di posisi yang paling eligible buat jadi liver donor buat bokapnya yang notabene ga pernah dia anggep, secara dulu bokapnya ngasih kenangan bukuk buat Meredith. In the end she did it, tapi bukan karena itu bokapnya, tapi karena adiknya yang minta.
Menghubungkan dengan apa yang hidup gue, if the same thing happens to my father, I have no clue what to do. Will I want to give him my liver? I don't have that sort of emotional connection with him. All I know is that he is my bological father, but he was never around. When he did, we have zero understading after all. It is like being with a stranger. I know its harsh, and sorry that truth hurts. So yes..I have no idea what to do if he ever need a transplant and I am the eligible donor. I might need some time to carefully think about it, and find a good enough reason(s) to be the donor.
But if the same thing happens to my mum, I am the first on the line. Too bad I don't have the same blood type as she is so it s a no. Oh yeah, I don't have the same blood type as my father as well!!! there is a very sall possibilities to have Meredith's case hapens in me.

flat..
Beberapa waktu lalu, hubungan kembali terjalin kembali antara gue dan si kampret itu. Cerita punya cerita, ternyata dia udah bubaran ama ceweknya, which means, gajadi kawin. Kalo ngeliat gelagatnya, dia pengen balik ama gue. Sepertinya kalo perasaan gue masih sama, pastinya gue akan menyambut. Yang aneh adalah, setelah gue tau dia putus, daya tariknya jadi hilang. Well, probably because I can proof that I finally win. But at some reason, I don't see the future in our relationshit. Sepertinya gue keras menentang rencana Tuhan kalo bilang ga mungkin, so let me put it this way. Gue ngebuka kesempatan buat siapa pun yang punya niat baik buat mengenal gue lebih jauh. But especially for him, I believe there are too many chances I have given that he just let it slipped away. Too many that I lost count. Too many that I had zero inventory. This time, he has to earned it. He has to fix it. And if he doesn't, I'm not the one who lost.
Wait....on a second thought, this feeling is probably not love, melainkan keinginan untuk memiliki. Kebutuhan untuk mengkonfirmasi kalo dia emang masih berada di bawah bayang2 gue. Dan setelah itu terkonfirmasi, I don't see the point of hangging around anymore. Gue gak lagi ngerasa kehilangan atas ketidak hadirannya di dalam kehidupan gue, juga nggak punya keinginan buat menghubungi atau cari tau keadaannya. Gue bener2 cuek, ampe bebek aja kalah cuek. Keributan ringan yang berujung dengan dia ngapus PIN bbm gue juga ga gue tanggepin dengan sakit hati atau berlarut2. Gue malah cuman ketawa ketiwi cengengesan tanpa berniat buat memperbaiki keributan itu.
Hell yeah, I'm not going to be the one who fixed it. He has to manage himself. Earn his respect by pushing himself to the very limit. I have no room for a lazy man who always wants things to be done instantly. Realizing that my expectations towards him (or any other man who wants to be around) is quite high, it means I expect him to change drastically. It also means that...I don't take him the way he is now...or in a bit sarcastic words, I sahll say that he's not the one that I want...
Oh dear, I do have a wicked bitch side after all...

cultural trap
HAri ini gue abisin di kampus buat nulis disertasi yang deadline-nya seminggu lagi. Ga keruan rasanya, blom lagi tragedi ama supervisor yang di satu sisi bikin gue drop, tapi di sisi lain bikin semangt. Anyway, tadi di library temen gue dapet ajakan makan malem, dimana dia ngajak gue ikutan. Well, why not kan?? Rejeki ga boleh ditolak cing...
Abis gue+tmen gue dijemput dan sembari nungguin pizza, salah seorang dari kita berlima di mobil Aki ditelpon ama bokapnya. Buat background, si Brinda ini orang India yang tinggal di Dubai. Setelah kuliah kelar, bokapnya stengah mati ngebujuk dan memaksa dia buat balik ke Dubai supaya bisa cari jodoh. Yes...JODOH. Bukan sekedar angan2 doang urusan perjodohan ini, tapi bokapnya emang bener2 niat nyariin dia jodoh yang seiman, sesuku, se kasta, dan sederajat. Bahkan bokapnya bikin webpage di sebuah website perjodohan serius untuk orang2 se-suku daerahnya itu, dan udah menemukan calon yang tepat. Tepat disini maksudnya karna bokapnya udah cocok sama bokapnya si calon suami dan si calon suami memenuhi kriteria yang ditulis di website itu.
Nah, sementara di satu sisi, Brinda ini bner2 ogah banget buat mikirin kawin. Menurut dia, dia merasa dia masih muda, banyak kesempatan yang terbuka, yang gabisa dia dapetin kalo dia ujung2nya balik buat dikawinin. Dia pengen banget ngerasain idup mandiri, lepas dari tata krama kolot ala keluarganya itu. Dia ngerasa kayak selama ini dia ada di genggaman bokapnya, dan sekarang kalo dia kawin, dia akan jatuh ke genggaman seorang pria. Dari genggaman ke genggaman, kapan waktu buat diri sendirinya?? Di sisi lain, gimanapun juga dia gabisa ngelawan arus keluarga. Urusan adat terlalu 'penting' buat ditentang. Kalau dia ampe membangkang, urusannya bisa ampe dibuang ama keluarga dan ga diakuin lagi. Jadi sebenernya nasib si Brinda ujung2nya tetep aja "ikut apa kata bokap, menomer satukan keluarga" at all cost.
Ngeliat si Brinda ini ngebuat gue jadi prihatin, ni anak pikirannya pasti galau banget. Dia cewek mandiri yang berpikiran maju, disekolahin di universitas bagus, dengan prestasi yang juga memuaskan. Sayang kalo talenta dan potensi yang ada hanya berakhir di pelaminan. Alias, ga balik modal. Kalo sekolah cuman atribut doang, musti ke Jakarta dia, buat beli ijazah, dan semua beres. Sebenernya Brinda pun nggak menolak buat kawin, asalkan: (1) dia dikasih kesempatan buat berdiri sendiri; (2) dia nemuin sendiri si CPP nya. I am totally agree when she said :
"it doesn't matter if he's qualified with the criteria or not, I just wanna make sure that I ended up with someone who can take care of me. And studying through a webpage would never guarantee such quality"
Responding to reason number (1), I think she is a young girl about to conquer the world, yet her free spirit is trapped in her own culture. Gimanapun dia mencoba lari, tetep ga akan bisa keluar dari pagar2 baja yang dibangun kokoh ama bokapnya. What's the point achieving Master degree then if culture still holding her back?.. I wish she could have the freedom I always have, I am sure she'll be a good one :)
No matter what happens, I hope she has the ability to nurture the spirit, maybe transform it in a different way, because whenever there's a threat, there lies oppotunities...It all depends on your point of view..

balik deui iyeuh mah...
setelah gue berusaha membuat lagu2 di blogspot ini, gue tertarik ama sebuah lagu yang walaupun ini tembang udah jadul berat, namun sangat tepat sasaran menggambarkan peristiwa yang acap kali terjadi di dalam hidup gue...ediaaaannn....
nih lyric-nya gue post di bawah...emng bener kok, tiap2 si kamfret itu hadeeiirrr...it's all coming back to me..still struggling kok gue..hopefully I'll be as good as new by January...
Its All Coming Back To Me Now
there were nights when the wind was so cold,
that my body froze in bed if i just listened to it right outside the window...
there were days when the sun was so cruel,
that all my tears turned to dust and i just knew my eyes were drying up forever...
i finished crying in the instant that you left,
and i cant remember where or when or how,
and i banished every memory you and i had ever made...
but when you touch me like this
touch me like this
and you hold me like that
hold me like that
its so hard to believe but its all coming back to me now
its all coming back, its all coming back to me now
there were moments of gold and there were flashes of light,
there nights of endless pleasure, it was more than any laws allowed
maybe baby
if i kiss you like this
kiss you like this
and if you whisper like that
whisper like that
it was lost long ago but its all coming back to me
if you want me like this
if you want me like this
and if you need me like that
if you need me like that
it was dead long ago but its all coming back to me
its so hard to resist and its all coming back to me
i can barely recall but its all coming back to me now
but you were history with the slamming of the door
and i made myself so strong again some how...
and i never wasted any of my time on you since then...
but if i touch you like this
touch you like this
and if you kiss me like that
kiss me like that
it was gone like the wind but its all coming back to me now
its all coming back, its all coming back to me now
there were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
there were nights of endless pleasure, it was more than all your laws allowed
maybe baby baby
when you touch me like this
when you touch me like this
and when you hold me like that
hold me like that
it was gone like the wind but its all coming back to me
when you see me like this
see you like this
when i see you like that
see me like that
then we see what we want to see
all coming back to me
the flash and the fantasies all coming back to me
i can barely recall but its all coming back to me now
if you forgive me all this
forgive me all this
and if i forgive you all that
forgive you all that
we forgive and forget and its all coming back to me now
all coming back to me now
we forgive and forget and its all coming back to me now...
ancuuurrr gue bangeeeeettt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
