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).

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.
