Ketika ke-bahagia-an dipertanyakan ...

Seorang sahabat bertanya padaku,
"Kamu mau apa setelah ini?"

"Aku mau bahagia. As simple as that!" aku menjawab dengan lantang, tatkala aku sendiri takut menengadah ke arah matanya dan meneriakkan itu dengan lantang.



"Jawabanmu itu abstrak." Dengan lugas ia menjawab sambil meneguk sisa kopi di cangkirnya yang sudah dingin.

Lain hari, seseorang menegurku melalui wajah-wajah tersenyum yang terpampang di halaman tulisannya. Dengan mudah, ia menuliskan, "Bahagia itu sederhana."

Aku memicingkan mata. Mencoba untuk mencerna tiga kata itu dengan sulit. Mencoba menelan mentah-mentah arti dari kata 'sederhana' yang ia paparkan dengan lugas disana.

Bagaimana mungkin kebahagiaan itu sederhana? Bagaimana mungkin seseorang puas hanya dalam hal yang sederhana?

Berjuta-juta pertanyaan melayang-layang dalam pikiranku hingga akhirnya aku sendiri mempertanyakan pertanyaan yang sama kepada diriku berratus-ratus kali,
"Apakah aku bahagia?"

.... lalu, "..dengan apa?"

sebuah cerita dalam keheningan ...

if a picture paint a thousand words, then spoken language itself won't be needed it already reveals lots of stories behind the smile and laughs, from each angels that God has sent from above ..  -  for people who's never met before, hug and kisses won't be a problem as long as there's love among them - -  all that they want is to be treated the same beside, they can do whatever we can do .. -   childhood is the happiest time ever! especially when we can be with our friends 24-hours a day non-stop play time .. -  our teacher is our hero! we complete each other in a magical way .. -  - just like people said, boys will be boys; and what we want to express is that diversity won't break us apart, even more, we're all just the same - in this case, same haircut! LOL -  - just as pretty as any other model out there - in life .. we've learned how to be  a good person...

A new perspective

Someone once told me that there is nothing wrong with changes. He said that it would give me new perspective. He said, with me being away, it would makes me appreciate the thing that I had before. And yes, sure, Lately, I have been feeling it to be true. To be away with the things that I used to hold on - makes me realize that I have been spoiled. And now, I need to learn how to survive. To learn how to be brave again. And, sometimes, inevitably -- learning how to be OK with the sound of nothingness. Of course, once in a while, I envy those people who are still surrounded by luxury things. Obviously, I would constantly complain about the absence of my old routine. And, also sometimes, I would try to run away -- find the best escape route, just to get rid of the pain. How I hate changes. I wish some things were just stay the same -- forever. But then, I won't ever learn how to fly higher. I won't grow. But then, I also kind of asking my self, ... do I real...
