The Lady & The Duke


There was The Lady in Red. She was faithful and thoughtful. She had a soft and cheerful personality. But, once you knew her dark side, The Lady was not good as what it seems. The Lady could be very sensitive and easily feeling emphatic toward the others. She could cry in a moment, then laugh it off. Sometimes, The Lady was confused with herself.

Once, she met The Duke in Black, the mysterious guy from another town that visited The Lady's town. At first, The Lady only admiring The Duke without having a courage to talk to him. He was quite, sensible, and over analyze with his sharp eyes. He was the type of man that could break women's heart easily. Somehow, they met and finally talked. They became as close as siblings.

As the time passed, The Lady drowned in his affection though she hated it because she couldn't resist her own feeling and that was upseting her. The Lady couldn't believe that The Duke was like her own world. Ironically, The Duke was as cold as the ice. He looked down at The Lady's feeling and never falling in love with her. Love made a person looked dumb. Though The Lady was smart, she was dumb and clueless about love. She never stopped loving The Duke, though sometimes he was ignorant, reckless, and careless to her. Guessed she was blinded by love.

Finally, The Duke went back to his town, leaving The Lady empty hearted all by herself. He said farewell to her by embracing her in his arms. The tears dropped from The Lady's face. She didn't want to be left by him, she needed him as her dear friend because she knew The Duke would never ever love her. By staying by her side, she could give The Duke all of her love endlessly. She hoped for The Duke's happiness.

As days turned into years, many men tried to approach The Lady but she could only think about The Duke. She was afraid that her love turned into an obsession, she was afraid that she didn't love The Duke sincerly. She was afraid of her own feelings and she was getting confused by the word of 'love.'

"Do I really love him?" She asked to herself.

Deep down, she wanted to believed that oneday she could melt the ice heart of The Duke. (Or at least someone would).

(Different) Twins

Dear Nadia, I never thought that I can befriend with you. It's nice having a good friend, a dear good friend, that's an introvert version of my self. You're the INTP and I'm the ENTP, so I'm feeling like you know me better than anyone else. As I said earlier to you, maybe we're like twins. It's just the one tiny different that makes us different, and I'm glad with it. Honestly, before I met or knew you, I thought you're an arrogant and selfish woman because you look soooooo quite and you're classy (SERIOUSLY), LOL. Even before our introduction, I always love your sense of fashion... Your sense of fashion is a little bit similar to me. And once again, I think we're twins from different womb, lol. But then things changed and we met. It was a little bit awkward at first but I still remember how we think about the same thing at the same time, and before I knew you're an INTP, I had this feeling that you're like me, something about you r...
((relapse)) Kalo diinget, gue nggak pernah nangisin ini cowo, atau biarin emosi gue luber. Mungkin itu alasannya gue susah move on, ya? Gue kebanyakan menekan emosi gue selama ini, memilih diam, menghilang. Tapi tanggal 27 Agustus 2026 kemarin, tau-tau gue menangis. Bukan yang histeris hingga sesak napas, tapi air matanya keluar begitu aja tanpa henti. Mungkin akan ada kambuh berikutnya. Tapi gue jadi semakin yakin lagi dengan kapasitas diri gue ketika mencintai. Kalo gue bisa mencintai orang lain sedalam itu, maka gue tau, gue juga berhak dicintai orang lain sedalam itu dan gue tau orang itu akan selalu mengusahakan gue sesederhana karena takut kehilangan gue.

OHANA

Haiiiii! This time, I'm too excited to tell you about my OHANA a.k.a Family. Seperti yang kalian udah baca di postingan pertama gue, Sisterhood Last Forever, kalian tahu kalo gue itu anak bontot, anak yang paling kecil, anak bungsu. Di post itu gue udah menceritakan tentang Mba Tita dan Mba Andes. Tapi... rasanya ngga lengkap kalo hanya mereka yang diceritakan. Left - Right: Mba Andes, Mama, Me, Mba Tita di suatu acara pada tahun 2011 Mama gue itu rambutnya selalu aja pendek. Dulu waktu gue masih 5th rambutnya masih panjang sihh, tapi sejak itu juga rambutnya jadi pendek :p Sedangkan Mba Tita dan Mba Andes itu dulunya ngga hijabers. Rambut mereka sebelum pake jilbab itu.... Badai. Angin topan. Wuss. Tsunami. Tapi sejak selesai kuliah dan udah beberapa bulan kerja, kira-kira pas gue kelas 2 SD mereka baru pake jilbab. Gue akan seperti mereka kalo udah sukses. Hehe Left - Right: Me, Mba Andes, Eyangti, Mba Tita, Mama di Lebaran tahun 2012 Di foto yang diata...
Kita memang nggak bisa menyelamatkan orang lain kalau orang itu nggak mau diselamatkan, kan? Sebesar apapun rasa cinta gue ke dia, gue nggak akan bisa memberikan itu semua dan dia nggak akan bisa menerimanya. Karena dia tidak mencintai dirinya sendiri terlebih dahulu. Gue bisa memeluk lukanya, apabila dia sudah berani memeluk lukanya sendiri. Gue bisa memberikannya cinta terbesar yang pernah dia rasakan, apabila dia sudah mampu mencintai dirinya sendiri.
Just when I about to send the message, a sudden realization come to me. Thus, I shall keep my pride. However, My heart can't lie. My brain can't lie. So, with the little prayer, I shall say... A year has passed. May you always find good things in life. Have a blast.
