Lover of Book

People maybe knows that book is my lover. Well... not kind of Encyclopedia or something like that. My mind is full of non-fiction stuffs. I love reading lots of novels in every genre.

Book can set you free. Book can let your imagination fly away. Book can express everything in every words. Book is better than movie. Book knows how to do it.

I used to read Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, or even Beauty and the Beast. Just say it, I already read every single of them. It feels like your childhood is complete with those stories. It makes you to pretend to be one of them, a girl who lived in a palace and bla bla bla.

Then I read about true story, like Helen Keller, Isaac Newton, Sidharta Gautama, Mahatma Gandhi, Hans Christian Andersen, Walt Disney, and many others. That time... I felt I wannabe one of them. I wannabe Helen Keller who has been a great inspiration for every single of us. I wannabe Mr. Andersen who made lots of wonderful story, I wannabe Walt Disney who made a mouse as his inspiration.

The first ever love story novel I'd ever read was Fairish (Indonesian novel by Esti Kinasih), and I read that when I was just in the 2nd grade! :O Then I read lots of Indonesian novels like 5CM, Laskar Pelangi, Touche, Bali to Remember, and LOTS. In the 9th grade, I read the prequel of Ilana Tan. It's Summer in Seoul, Autumn in Paris, Winter in Tokyo, and Spring in London. Those books are great! I mean... SUPER DUPER GREAT! It sets my mind to travel the world. Then today I borrowed a book from my friend (Dara) named 8... 9... 10... Udah Belom? AAAAAHH.... It's so amazing.

But the point of these are... Book travels you. Book sets you free. It can express you.

Sincerly,
The lover of Book.

Keputusan Besar

Just like that. We finally decided that we'll go on our own way. :) Lega. Campur aduk. Deg-degan. Nggak ada perasaan sedih ataupun marah. Tapi, aku memang penasaran.. apakah aku dan pasanganku bisa memulai hidup sendiri tanpa kehadiran satu sama lain? Pasanganku saat ini memang banyak membawa pelajaran hidup. Dia membuatku menjadi lebih melihat dunia, lebih luwes, lebih santai, bisa tertawa daripada pusing memikirkan berbagai hal, dan bisa beristirahat sejenak. Sifat negatifnya pun banyak sekali, yang melatar belakangi aku memikirkan kembali hubungan ini. Rasanya, sudah cukup kami mendapatkan pelajaran masing-masing. Kami sama-sama mengakui, kami tidak bisa melihat masa depan kami secara bersama. Kami saat ini hanya menjalani rutinitas yang sudah terbiasa karena terbentuk bertahun-tahun. Kedua anak kami layak mendapatkan cinta yang utuh sebagai keluarga, namun kami tau kami tidak akan bisa memberikannya jika tetap bersama. Kami sama-sama berhak mendapatkan cinta yang utuh, hati yan...

Hey, Stranger

The first time I met you, I was paralyzed by your charm. Hypnotized and feeling warm. Then sat beside you, didn't know who you were. We were stranger back then. Your dazzling eyes knocked me down, that you did. I didn't even know what was it. It was something new for me to feel. You were always there whenever and wherever I was. Though it was just in a mind of mine. Hey, stranger, what have you done? Months passed earlier than I thought. Weird... cause God brought you to my life. Ten hours a day though I felt it wasn't enough. Everyday was like a real fairy tale, that it was. Hey, stranger, did you even remember how we were here? The first time I met you, I knew what kind of person you were. Cold hearted with guts, that you were. This feeling was true and pure. I was right because I got hurt. But I'd stay not retreat. Autumn and winter had passed. Left us with spring and new hopes. Hey, stranger, didn't you see that?

Mama ❤️

"You have to keep going with him. Think about your children," they said. "You were the victim of a broken home child. Don't let it happen to your kids," they said. Meanwhile, my mama: "Nita,⁩ gimana kabarnya semua..? Mama akan laporkan KDRT klu dia tidak bisa menepati janjinya ke mama utk menjaga baik² Nita, Hagia, Melodie. Nita hrs lawan KDRT ya, dan selalu lindungi dg penuh kasih sayang Hagia dan Melodie ya sayaang.. 😇🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖" Like, she always texts me like that. She said I need to leave him as soon as he hit me or my children. I think it's already in her instinct. I don't tell my mama that we fight, hit each other, and I have bruises because of him. She would kill him. Although I'm already a mother, I'm still her daughter. When I find a better man, who loves me deeply, who's soft and kind, she will let her guard down because she knows I'll be in the right hand. I realize now, I love my life so much. And, I won't...

I think my boss is right. I forgot to taking care of myself. I can't balancing my life as a mother, an employee, and a person. I'm overwhelmed. I'm tired. I'm exhausted It's time for me to take a rest. I will keep going, but, first, I need to put myself together again. Terbentur, terbentur, terbentur... terbentuk.

Sampul Buku dan Lembarannya

Boleh nggak saya memohon satu hal? Cukup sederhana. Kebanyakan dari kalian hanya memandang sampul sebuah buku. Jika sampul itu berupa kulit, kalian akan langsung mengambilnya. Kalau buku itu hanyalah buku usang, entah siapa yang akan mengambilnya. Disini bukan tentang menilai buku dari sampulnya. Tapi tentang siapa yang akan mengambil buku itu. Munafik memang, kalau kita mengaku tidak melihat orang dari penampilan. Tapi entah kenapa saya letih dengan semua itu. Letih dengan tipuan paling sederhana. Saya ingin kalian tetap menatap saya dalam keadaan terburuk, terjelek. Bukan dalam keadaan sebaliknya. Apa terkesan saya sombong? Tidak, bukan itu maksudnya. Saya hanya ingin kalian membuka buku itu setelah melihat sampulnya. Saya bukan buku bersampul kulit. Saya hanya buku biasa. Lembarannya putih, polos, tanpa coretan. Saya butuh kalian yang dapat mengisi lembaran-lembaran ini, bukan hanya menggeletakkan buku ini ke lemari hingga usang.
