Uneasy

I have never considered my life as unhappy life. It is true that i had no much on material things or some beauty things or brilliant brain. But, when i look into my own eyes before the mirror, i was certainity happy. Back then and even now, i lived as my self, nothing to lose.

Some uneasiness come to mess around my heart. A friend of mine, told me that i am a kind of tough and rational person. That i wasn't offended it. But sometimes i'm fragile too. It is when you have to face people's emotions.

Suffocating by the your-really-close-relative is the uneasiness i have to face today. People keep me up and down, saying her life is miserable and she want terribly shutting down all we have build up together. Like i'm nothing. Like all my faithfulnes is no worthy to be concidered.

While she always said her life is miserable, sometimes i felt like drowning in deep river. I devoted everything to set something we meant to do from the beginning but her personal life trying to ruin it. Struggling with all those kind of something-need-to-get-rid-of thing, i pray to God, if He will kindly helping my friend.

Daisy

Before, i didn't realize about how beautiful daisy is. It comes like sunflower in more warm feature. The korean movie, Daisy maybe is rather not easy to understand but i feel the warm of that movie too. This movie came out in 2006, directed by Andre Lau, the director of Infernal Affair.

All of sudden, i got a chance to rerun. Impulsive. Just because, i want to see the story of Hye Yong, a young painter girl who wait for her love for a while and Park Yi, a man who live in silent, hidden and happy on his own happines. Is it similar with mine? I don't know. I'm just like both Hye Yong and Park Yi.


The love that i've been dreaming of is so close to me
But all i can do is just watch you without words to say
In this city of strangers i live day by day painting love
Waiting and hoping  that you'll be here with the scent of daisies

Gone Girl

I’ve finally came to an end of Gone Girl. That i know, why this Gillian Flynn’s could be the number one of New York Time best seller. This is a new brand marriage thriller story which i was not only immersed with the misterious side but also fascinated with the way Flynn told us about psychologic marriage life of Nick and Amy Dunne. I think this is not Marriage Can Be A Real Killer. I prefer to create a symtomp  Marriage Can Be A Thriller”, everyday’s thriller.

The story tell us about how marriage can be like after some years. I do not tell about the whole story because it’s to many. But for me, the dramatic scenes of this story are palpable by the both point of views. How’s Nick and Amy toward each other? How they’re going through the first five years of marriage? How’s they’re changed and made up ? There were interesting.

Nick Dune is the boy, the young man people always loved. He is funny-smart guy.Grew up as mama-boy who was close with his mother and his twin sister. It’s just Amy, who know Nick about hos he was aspired his father. Nick Grew up with father who never apoligized so when he has screw up he goes on offense instead of apologize. His father infused him with unspoken blame, he was the kind of man who skulked around looking for somethings to be angry at. It had turned Nick into knee-jerrk suckup to authprity. He’s literally lie,cheat and steal to convince people he is a good guy. Nick is complicated. He used to be journalist- magazine writer as his occupation before he moved to his hometown, running The Bar and becoming college profesor.

Amy Elliot Dune, is the young woman people always adored. Pretty, nice, sufficient, and smart. She is the representative of Amazing Amy, a children book about the life of perfect girl. Amy borned from smart and romantic parents as the only child. That was drag her to be the girl who can’t be unperfect and the next is, sociopath. They are actually complicated bomb couple.

Life began after Nick has got laid off and jobless. The laid off gave a specific impact to Nick. I see it from Nick and Amy’s perspective. Nick sometimes became inferior and offense everything he could. It made the gap between Any and Nick. How cold Nick toward Amy, they always made up in the night they’re went to bed.

Amy was quite wise wife according to her diary. She said Nick was witty, briliant man that made Nick fluttered. She gave Nick her saving money went through the unemployeed time. She budged in some way. In the diary, Amy said something after her husband critized her every anniversary’s treasure hunt, “ I guess that’s what husbands are for. To point out what we can’t see for ourselves, even it takes five years.” And Nick, before they got married, he always heard that Marriage is compromise and hard work and hard work and then more hard work and communication and compromise. 

We all see that, Amy’s gone to fixed her husband. It turned to be unpredictable and worse. Amy was totally sociopath. In the days she’s gone, she reached triumphant over her husband. Nick became suspect. That’s why he had more reason to hate his wife. They separated and hating each other and missing each other. That the husband and wife was.

Amy was back to Nick with too many shocking stuffs. Nick more hate with his wife. They were debate, menacing each other until they knew, they need each other. As a man, Nick has been his most impressive when he loved her and his next best self when he hated her. For him, Amy was toxic yet he couldn’t imagine the world without her. And Amy addicted to Nick.  That’s the way they make up. Despite all the weaknesses, the wrongdoings, the boredome, they know, they need each other to be a better human being. That is marriage should be work out.

“ I was told love should be unconditional. That’s the rule, everyone says so. But if love has no boundaries, no limits, no conditions, why should anyone try to do the right thing ever? If i know i am loved no matter what, where is the challenge? I am supposed to love Nick despite all his shortcomings. And Nick is supposed to love me despite my quirks. But clearly, neiher of us does. It make me think that everyone is very wrong, that love should have many conditions. Love require both partners to be their very best at all times. Unconditional love is an undisciplined love and as we all have been, undisciplined love is disastrous.”



I love the ending

Anna Karenina

These days, i've been watching the epic Russian story, Anna Karenina while reading the novel too. But i admit it, that reading such a classic story in Englishs not as simple as i tought. A classic novel contains too many unfamiliar vocabs that i had to search for. Nonetheless, it had some odd energy to continue. Yes, something classic has its own toughness.

I've always love Count Nicolayive Leo Tolstoy as my all the time favourite author. I defined him as spritual person ever after. His long way prilgimage through the life time swaned many great story who could affected human being. Many of them are realism on patterned.The one of that story was about Anna Karenina. who publised firstly as serial in 1873.

Anna Karenina is story about aristochrated woman who lived in St.Petersbug, Russian. Anna is the wife of General Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin who was twenty years senior and a famous statesman. We could say by any review that the main of this story is about the affair between Anna and Count Alexis Vronsky. As Joe Wright, the director of Anna Karenina 2012's movie said, a scandal shake the nation. But, the novel tells so many things beyond the main review.

First, even before reading the novel fully, i have adoring General Karenin so much. He is definitely a plain man, knowing nothing but work and politic. Like any plain men i've ever knew, they just could not uttering any affection but they love in certain. Anna, is like the other women who happened at 20 years under Karenin, needs all kinds of uttered affection. Just in case, she met the young charismatic guy, Count Vronsky who had an eye for her too. They did whatever they want, but Karenin, despite of his anger, he try to acted as wise as he could as a gentleman. In the end of story, after Anna commited suicide, he took care both of children, Seryozha, his son with Anna and  Annie, Anna and Vronsky's daughter. Jude Laws amazingly stole the view as General Karenin in 2012 movie production.

The second man i adore is Constantin Dmitrich Levin. He has a man with such a wonderful insights of  the world. He taught out of the aristochrated society did. Levin was landowner, lived in countryside with some farmer who lived in modesty. Levin was only know one girl Kitty, and he didn't love if it wasn't for marriage. Levin was such great scholar who lived near people. The concept of communism and other insights are explained either by his dialogue with aqcuitances or his mind conversation.

Honestly, i write this before i finish reading the novel. A half of my reading and after watched the movie, i conclude the two character i love most. This simple review is dedicated for General Karenin and Count Levin who i can say that "A gentleman should be like that"



Enjoy the day

Adios (part 2)

Padamu Damian, sesungguhnya aku tak ingin berandai-andai. Bahkan di dalam rindu yang begitu pilu aku sering kali mengingatmu, dalam lima belas tahun perpisahan ini. Namun keinginan terkadang berbeda dengan kenyataan yang sulit untuk dikendalikan. Perginya dirimu walau sudah berjarak lima belas tahun dari saat aku menulis ini sekarang masih begitu terasa. Teman bersahaja, musuh yang bijaksana dan manusia bebas, adalah dirimu. Mengimbangiku yang seringkali marah atas keterbatasanku.

"Maukah kau menghabiskan hidupmu denganku?" itulah kata-kata yang diucapkan Leo kepadaku saat kami berlibur bersama dalam sebuah acara liburan keluarga.
"Dan maukah kau menghabiskan hidupmu dengan seseorang yang tidak sehat sepanjang hidupnya?"tanyaku kepadanya. Leo hanya memegang tanganku. Tidak ada jawaban setelah itu. Berminggu-minggu kemudian, Leo datang meminta maaf sekaligus memberi kabar tentang pertunangannya.

Aku tak menangis di hadapannya, karena bahkan ia tak memberiku kenangan tentang bagaimana membangun jiwa. Aku sebenarnya memang tak benar-benar mencintainya, namun ternyata aku terpuruk. Bertambah parahnya sakitku adalah buktinya. Kadang begitu inginnya aku berdialog denganmu, bukan tentang kabar, bukan tentang kita, tapi banyak hal di dunia. Itulah yang membangunku, dan mungkin meneguhkann dirimu. Damian aku merindukanmu.

Malam setelah Leo datang memberi kabar menyakitkan itu, aku bermimpi. Damian datang memberiku mantel musim dingin di tengah gurun pasir yang panas.
"Nino" kau memanggilku.
Demi melihatmu saat itu,  aku hanya bisa tersenyum lalu bertanya, "Kenapa kau bawa mantel musim dingin? Disini sangat panas."
"Nino akan memakainya"
"Tapi kenapa?"
"Karena Nino akan pergi ke tempatku."
"Apa maksdmu? Kau sekarang disini?" tanyaku kebingungan
"Nino akan membutuhkannya."
"Damian, memangnya dimana kau?"
Damian tersenyum lalu meneruskan, "Nino, pergilah membawa luka jika memang ia belum hilang.Luka akan terhapus udara. Berjalanlah seperti angin agar kau bahagia."
Damian pergi meninggalkanku sendiri, dan aku terbangun dengan penuh air mata.

Pagi itu pula, aku terbangun dan menuliskan surat. Aku mengundurkan diri dari tempatku bekerja. Leo melihatku dengan tatapan penuh rasa bersalah. Aku tersenyum padanya, menggelang dan berkata "It's ok Leo. I'm ok now"
"Tapi ada apa? Kenapa? Aku minta maaf Shasha. Semua adalah rencana orang tuaku."
"Tidak, ini bukan karena kau Leo. Mungkin kemarin aku terpuruk, bahkan sekarang pun masih terasa sakit. Tapi aku pergi bukan karena itu. Di sisa hidupku ini, aku ingin mencari Damian. Kau tahu kan,sahabat kecilku."
Leo mengerti, mendoakanku dan memberikanku pelukan perpisahan. Aku tak menangis sedikitpun.

Aku dipenuhi gairah . Aku tak peduli berapa lama waktuku untuk hidup bersama lambung yang terluka ini. Hanya Tuhan yang tahu itu. Aku hanya ingin kehidupanku kembali. Maka pagi ini, kuputuskan memulai perjalanan mencari Damian. Kukabari orang tuaku tentang rencana ini. Tentu mereka menolak, namun kuyakinkan dengan sepenuh hati.
"Mama, suatu saat jika aku berumur panjang, aku akan hidup dengan kenangan indah, semangat yang lebih menyala."
"Tapi kau sakit. Kanker di lambungmu perlu dirawat terus menerus."
"Aku akan merawatnya mama. Aku akan membawa obat."
"Lalu bagaimana jika kau tak bertemu Damian?"
"Aku akan kembali dengan cerita yang tetap indah karena perjalananku."
Mama memelukku, papa melihatku di sudut ruangan dengan mata berkaca-kaca. Tak ada orang tua yang tak sedih melepas gadis kecilnya yang walaupun telah menua pergi sendirian.

Hidup adalah tentang masa sekarang, aku tahu itu. Namun sebagian orang, memperoleh kekuatan dari kenangan. Dan kini, aku mencari kenanganku yang hilang. Hanya untuk memastikan, dia ada dan mengenaliku sebelum waktuku benar-benar habis dengan penyakitku.

Adios

Pernah aku berkata pada Damian, bahwa ketakutan seringkali menjadi pembohong terbesar yang mempengaruhi hidup kita. Waktu itu, ia hanyalah seorang anak laki-laki remaja yang gamang terhadap cara bagaimana ia harus melangkah. Dia adalah anak yang paling berani yang pernah kukenal. Maka itulah, di saat-saat kegamangannya itu, ketika harus memilih antara pergi dari rumah menemui nasib atau menjaga adik perempuannya yang berkebutuhan khusus itu. Dan ia, merangkul kedua pilihan itu. Damian pergi dengan adiknya.

"Adios" katanya saat beranjak pergi dengan pandangan datar menatap raut muka sedihku. " Angin tetaplah angin saat berjalan. Pun walaupun begitu, pohon tetaplah pohon walau ia diam. Namun pohon butuh ratusan tahun untuk menjadi besar. Dan angin hanya butuh waktu sebentar untuk menjadi sangat berkekuatan. Bergerak akan membuatmu besar, hermana. "

Titik Balik


Februari, adalah titik balik.  Sometimes, the hardest decision is deciding whether to “walk away” or “try harder”. Maka pada hari inilah keputusan itu bermula. Sebab berjalan pergi pun sebenarnya adalah mencoba lebih keras lagi. That’s how the life began. Titik balik, transisi, di perbatasan. Apapun itu, aku memilih berjalan pergi. Memulainya kembali.

Menari tak pernah benar-benar menjadi duniaku. Namun aku mencintainya dengan segenap hatiku, di saat aku telah meninggalkannya. Tarian, adalah nafas panjang sebuah gerak kehidupan. Itu saja. Dan menulis, aku mencintainya bahkan sebelum memulainya.
Dulu hanyalah kebiasaan yang dilakukan di antara waktu luang. Kemudian, menjadi sebuah keterpaksaan untuk menghasilkan sebuah tulisan berupa prosa, curhatan, puisi atau apapun. Jika pepatah mengatakan bahwa menulis adalah jalan keluar, maka pada saat itu, bagiku, menulis adalah berlari, menulis adalah menari. Berlari tiada henti, menari seindah mungkin.

Sampai akhirnya kucinta dia dengan sempurna. Saat halaman blog terisi berpatah-patah kata yang biasa namun tak kupervaya aku mampu menuliskannya. Menulis adalah cinta, menulis adalah berjuang, aku sangat mempercayainya, apa yang dikatakn Helvy Tiana Rosa.  

Jika ku katakan ini adalah passion, maka lihatlah apa yang dikatakan Rene CC ini : “ Passion is adjective. Proving that with productivity.” Kau tak pernah benar-benar dianggap mempunyai dan bertanggungjawab terhadap keinginanmu sampai kau menghasilkan karya. Sampai kau mampu membuktikannnya dengan kerja nyata.

Maka setelah memilih keberpijakan sebagai suatu keputusan, disinilah aku berniat memulainya. Kelemahanku untuk menuliskan imajinasi dengan cara yang lebih realistis, seharusnya mampu kupupus dengan berlatih. Tidak maslaah jika sedikit-sedikit. Sebab hal paling sulit dalam hidup sejatinya adalah konsistensi pada hal yang sedikit. 

Pada akhirnya, kubuka lembaran blog baru ini. The dancing letter, adalah rangkaian huruf yang menari, rangkaian kata yang bergerak, rangkaian imajinasi yang terukir. Sedikit-demi sedikit, walau jauh dari sempurna, biarlah aku mecoba. 



Akhir Februari 2014. Rumah dan rumah berikutnya
