Aku, Kamu, dan Hujan

"Aku benci hujan". kataku. 

Malam itu, saat kita terjebak hujan deras. kamu tersenyum kecil, seolah meremehkan apa yang aku katakan.

"Kenapa?" kamu bertanya.

"Karena waktu hujan, aku selalu sendirian, dan kesepian." kataku lirih.

Ya, aku selalu merasa begitu. Hujan mengingatkan pada orang-orang yang aku sayangi, yang pergi dan meninggalkan aku sendiri bersama rasa sepi yang menyesakkan. Mata kamu menerawang jauh. Sepertinya kamu juga merasakan hal yang sama.

"Aku tau apa yang kamu rasakan, because we're just the same. Tapi sekarang ada aku, kamu gak akan sendirian lagi kan?"

Aku terdiam. sejauh ini cuma kamu yang gak meninggalkanku. Aku senang, aku punya kamu sebagai teman berbagi sepi. Meski kadang keberadaan kamu gak sepenuhnya menghilangkan rasa sakit dan kesepian itu. Seenggaknya, rasa sakit itu berkurang sejak kamu ada dan menemaniku.

"Kamu tau, hujan selalu buat aku menangis. It bring back memories. so irritating." kataku lagi.

"Sabar, hujan memang buat kamu menangis, tapi setelah hujan, akan ada pelangi yang bisa buat kamu tersenyum". kamu berusaha menghiburku.

"Aku gak terlalu suka pelangi yang cuma bisa buat tersenyum untuk sesaat, lalu menghilang."

Stranger with Some Memories

Inspired by : 
a song titled 'I always remember you that way' -bowling for soup 

I met you. In a place where the wind whispered through. We started to talk a lot of things. It seemed like we missed something for years. I felt a little happiness when I see you smiled during our conversation. I hurt when your smile disappeared by some parts of your words. 

Suddenly you reached out and touched my hand. My heart was racing. I took your hands off.

"Sorry," I said without looking at you.

"It's okay. Everything had already changed, but feeling remained the same. I thought you felt it too,"

You said quietly. I could see the sadness in your eyes.

"It seemed like you were special for me. But I'm not sure.  Everything was strange for me.."

You took a long breath. You may blamed me for this things. I might forget about you or our memories before. I thought this was the first time I saw you, and for you, this was the first time we met after many years. I tried to remember and searched the memories which left behind. But a part of me didn't want to remember it. We kept silence for hours until the sky went dark.

"I should go home now," you broke the silences.

"Oh, me too." I answered.

"Okay, anyway, thanks a lot for your help,"

"What's help?" I asked.

I didn't remember what I've done for you before. You glanced a smile and didn't answer.

"Nice to see you, bye".

Then you walked away. I faintly heard you whispered a song's lyrics . 

I'll always remember you 

The years have gone 

The times have changed 

I don't recall much from those days 

I'll always remember you that way ...

And felt something rumbling in my heart. I felt the pain in my head when I forced to remember that song. I wanted to call you. But the pain in my head went worse. Damn. 

Suddenly, the other part of that lyrics remain in my head.

The moon and the stars , The back of my car 

That song that was on , The back of my car 

The memories are different 

But we felt the same

And I'll always remember you that way...

I didn't know what was the memories between us. There were pictures in my mind. You were left. And I was standing all alone. But it was blurred. I forced myself to remember.   

Hi stranger, Who were you? You just came and brought back memories. And what was the song? I felt loneliness inside the lyric. So irritating.

Always remember you...   

I'll always remember you..  

(always remember) 

I'll always remember you that way...

This song still haunted me. And my tears dropped so that I couldn't stop...

An Evening Talk and A Piece of Dream

"I was reading book at the cafe. If you want to come, I will wait".

Hah? I was about to sleep when I read you messages. I wonder if you send the wrong message for me. Then I asked you to confirm.

"No, It's for you.  We could share anything here".

"Okay, I will go there, just wait for me". I replied.

 I needed someone to talk, then you asked for it. 

It seemed like you knew about what I want, or maybe, it was a trap of fate. I didn't expect too much for this thing, because I won't hurt so much.

I arrived at the cafe. It was so crowded there. I looked at every side of the cafe, then I found you. You were looked cool with the white shirt and headsets in your ears. I walked and took a seat in front of you.

"Hi, how long you had have been here?"

You took your headset off and smiled at me.

"For many hours, how was your day?"

"Nothing special" I faked a smile.

"Oh, I will discuss our business plans. So, I will give you a job for designing our brand," Then you told about the concept and the deadline.

"I accepted, because I want to increasing my ability in design,"

"You knew, your ability must be explored to this business. And sometimes, I wonder what my ability was? " You asked....
