Just a Story of My Life…

They used to associate my name with the rain.

Well, I’ve no objection against that.

I love rain…in fact I always have mixed emotions for the rains…

It may calm me down…drifts me away to my solitude wonderland…

It may rage me up…as it ruins my well-organized plans thru the day…

But as my Ibu always taught me…be grateful for the rain…

I love the way it feels as the water drops fall into my face…on the tips of my fingers…

Like last night…on the ride back home…

Aa’ picked me up, as usual…with his motorcycle…sitting there, in the back…complete with my helmet and raincoat, as the rain poured down along the way…

I raised my left hand to feel the rain…it tickled my palm…fell so good…

The sensation took me back to PAB ’95…as I shivered in cold…my lips got blue…then turned white…common symptom of hypothermia…the combination of heavy rain, mountain’s thin air, cold, excessive fatigue, and lack of food consumption for the last 2 days…

However, this memory never frightened me…it always makes me love the rain even more…

The sensation brought me back even further into my past…to my sweetest childhood time…as I ran into the rain…played, sang, shouted happily in this natural shower…making myself soaking wet and trembled in cold…putting myself in trouble of my nanny’s anger…

(Renee…trouble is really your middle name!!!)

Ah…rain…

If only I could took-off my helmet last night and feel you touching my face last night…letting you seep into my hair strands once again…

I miss you, rain…

tadi siang ade bungsu gw, dimas, mampir ke kantor. dia pengen sendal crocs & kebetulan di bazaar kantor ada yg warna gelap ‘n ukuran gede. tau sendiri kan genetik keluarga gw yg berkaki sepanjang perahu ternyata ada warna abu2x & dimas sreg. dia beli deh. bayar sendiri lho! padahal gw udah tarik dompet! kaget juga…ade gw udah punya duit sendiri, nih

trus kita beli donat. buat ayah & ibu 10 pcs & buat pengajian di goals 20 pcs. eh…dimas nambahin 10 pcs lagi buat cemilan siang ini di goals. bayar sendiri juga! ck3x… kaget lagi deh gw…

naaa…berhubung dia lagi disini, gw suruh aja dia promo goals ke rudi yg koordinator futsal. kaget lagi deh gw…liat dimas dgn pe-denya mem-present goals ke rudi, mulai dari spesifikasi lapangan, gedung, fasilitas pendukung, sampe program promosi. heh! beneran nih dimas yg ngomong???

masih ter-kaget2x dgn 3 peristiwa itu, gw dikagetin lagi sama inisiatif dimas MESENIN DAN BAYARIN gw makan siang!!! dimas bahkan menolak duit gw!!! gila!!! bagus jantung gw kagak copot!!! bener dimas nih??? akhirnya siang ini gw cuma keluar duit 3 ribu perak buat beliin dia minum beneran…suwerrr…!!! duit gw cuma laku 3 ribu perak sama dimas!!!

sebagai pelengkap rangkaian kekagetan gw DIMAS NANYA DIMANA MUSHALLA!!! katanya dia mo shalat dzuhur dulu sebelum balik ke goals & meeting sama kelme (?) hah??? ade gw nih??? subhanallah… alhamdulillah… terima kasih yaa Allah… Kau gerakkan hatinya utk mendekati-Mu…

beneran gw shock lho…tapi dalam artian positive. dimas udah banyak bgt berubah setelah kerja di goals. dia lebih banyak di rumah, jarang banget kelayapan malem, hampir gak pernah nginep2x lagi, tiap ditelpon selalu nyautin, makin care sama ibu, kakak2xnya, aila, & sodara2xnya, lebih punya sense of responsibility, dan yg penting GAK MOROTIN DUIT LAGI!!! hwehwehwehwe XD gak ding! gw bangga aja, dimas bisa beli apa yg dia pengen pake duitnya sendiri, bahkan berinisiatif buat traktir gw tanpa gw minta!

ade gw udah gede…udah kerja…udah bisa traktir mbar-nya pake uangnya sendiri…udah bukan baby dumpret lagi, yg tiap pagi jadi rebutan gw & ade buat digendong… udah bukan dimas kecil, yg nangis di pelukan gw pas ayah & ibu berangkat haji (tepatnya sih kita bertiga nangis rame2x waktu malem pertama ditinggal haji :D)…

hehe…time flies…masih inget jaman2x gw sama ade sirik2xan sama dimas & ngerjain dimas abis2xan…inget jaman dimas suka main tamiya tapi gak bisa ngerakit, jadi gw deh yg ketempuhan ngerakit. sekalinya dia ngerakit, tamiyanya larinya mundur!!! XD inget waktu dimas dgn malu2x nanyain gimana caranya nembak ceweq…trus nitip beliin kado buat ceweqnya…juga waktu dia parno setengah mati abis dipalak ‘n minta gw ngajarin gimana ngadepin preman

dim…thanks bgt ya utk kunjungannya siang ini…ini lunch paling enak dalam hidup gw & siang paling indah sepanjang gw kerja disini.

I LOVE U, BRO! i’m so proud of you!
