Hello, Long Time No See

Hello "Dear Irin",
Almost a year I didn't touch you... So sad :(
I already graduated last November, and i also already got a job since March.
What else? I have a new room, smaller and more expensive but in the center of Jakarta.
I'm happy... no not just happy.. I'm glad... I'm grateful... I'm blessed...

I'm planning to make another short story, in Indonesian may be.
But i don't know how long it takes, since I already have a job :D

#1 Hiara and Fabian : A Joke

Malam ini, suasana kantor sudah sepi. Beberapa lampu ruangan sudah mati. Hanya lampu di kubik Hiara dan Fabi yang masih menyala. Mereka berdua masih berkutat dengan layar komputer flat didepan mata mereka. Deadline presentasi mereka jam sembilan pagi dengan klien besar pertama yang mereka tangani berdua.

Fabian dan Hiara, mereka teman dekat sejak lama. Duet cerdas. Sejak kuliah selalu satu kelas, satu UKM, satu himpunan mahasiswa, satu dosen pembimbing, satu sidang kompre, satu sidang skripsi, wisuda bersama, hingga satu kantor dan kini mereka berdua tergabung dalam satu tim untuk menangani klien utama untuk advertising agency tempat mereka bekerja. They’re partner in crime. Yang satu cantik menarik tapi tomboi dan yang satu lagi tampan tapi cacat mental.

Hiara menghela nafas, ia lalu menarik mundur kursinya dari meja komputer dan meregangkan badannya. Ia memutar kursi dan beranjak menuju kaca. Hamparan pencakar langit di depan matanya. City light membuatnya tersenyum senang.

“Cape ya!” Fabi ikut menarik mundur kursinya.

Hia tersenyum,”mau gue bikinin kopi ga?”

“Boleh… bagian Lo udah kelar belum?”

“Done! Bentar ya gue bikin kopi dulu abis itu kita diskusiin lagi.” Hiara berjalan menuju pantry kecil di lantainya. Hiara membuat dua cangkir kopi hitam dengan air panas dari dispenser. Ia kembali berjalan hati-hati menuju kubiknya.

“Gue juga udah, gue share ke folder lo ya,” kata Fabi seraya beranjak dan menarik kursinya ke kubik Hiara. Lalu mereka duduk berdua menyeruput kopi buatan Hiara seraya menatap layar komputer.

“Keknya acara ini ga cocok, rate-nya biasa aja. Sempet tinggi emang tapi kaya’nya bukan karena acaranya. Di minggu-minggu pertama doang acara ini melambung. Pas gue cek, bintang tamunya band yang dari Korea itu. Timing-nya pas, sama konser band Korea itu makanya penontonya banyak,” Hiara memulai diskusi.

“Hmm.. terus penggantinya?” tanya Fabian.

“Gue masukin ke acara lain. Pas tadi gue liat profil acara-acara, di acara yang ini,” seraya menunjuk satu bagian yang highlight pink,” dia mulai masukin unsur-unsur K-Pop diacaranya. Review drama seri, musik, sampe beberapa gossip artis-artis Korea. Jadi menurut gue kalo porsinya ditambah lebih bagus. Kalo bisa sebelum dan sesudah Korean session-nya.”

“Get it. Bagian gue keknya ga ada perubahan. Poin-poin utamanya masih sama kaya’ yang tadi siang kita bahas sama Mba Vina. Brand ambassador udah cocok sama event udah pas.”

“So now we can get some rests…” Hiara tersenyum.

“At least, lima jam dari sekarang. Mba Vina minta rapat lagi jam tujuh.”

“Lo balik?”

“Nope! Gue tidur ajalah di mushola. Gue ada baju di loker.”

“Haha… eh sekarang jam berapa sih?” tanya Hiara.

“Jam satu lebih sepuluh,” jawab Fabian seraya melepas jam tangannya lalu beranjak menuju kamar mandi,” gue ke toilet dulu ya mau nyegerin muka.”

Hiara mengangguk, ia lalu menyimpan file presentasi dan file data dalam satu folder di desktop dan menyimpannya ke dalam flash disk. Ia tersenyum melihat kalender, ia merapihkan semua barang-barang yang ada di meja kerjanya. Note, pensil, spidol, stabilo, netbook dan kotak make-upnya dimasukkan ke dalam tas. Hia melepas blazernya, meletakkannya di atas tasnya.

“Mau balik?” tanya Fabi.

Hiara mengangguk, ia membungkuk ke bawah meja kerjanya seraya mematikan terminal listriknya dan melepas beberapa charger dari terminal lalu dimasukkan ke dalam laci.“Lo, seriusan ngga’ balik?”

Fabi menyalakan Itunes-nya,”ngga’, lagi males, hehe.” Ia memutar lagu Adele.

Make you feel my love. Hiara terdiam sebentar lalu bertanya,”suka lagu ini? Dalem ya?”

“Hah?” Fabian menggaruk-garuk kepalanya,”dari temen, buat pengantar tidur aja biar gue ngantuk hehe.”

“Payah, Lo!” Hiara menghabiskan sisa kopi dicangkirnya,”Bi….”

“Apa?”

“I used to love you before….”

Fabi kaget, spontan ia menoleh ke arah Hiara. Hiara menatapnya lekat-lekat dan mengangguk,”Yea, I used to before…. Before my boyfriend now…. You know, so tired to wait for nothing. You’re so close to me but I can’t reach you…. Every girl around me always falls in love with you. Even you don’t, but still you never see me more than just a friend. But now, I’m glad… I love him.”

Fabi masih diam kaget, tidak percaya. Ia tidak tahu harus merespon apa. Hiara lanjut berbicara,”Like this song, it was so painful…. But, I grown up.” Hiara tersenyum lalu membawa tas dan blazernya mendekati Fabi. Ia menatap Fabi lekat-lekat.

“Gue… gue ga tau apa-apa… gue ga tau mesti ngomong apa.” Fabi salah tingkah.

Hiara tersenyum,”Gotcha!” lalu ia berteriak,”Surprise!”

Tiba-tiba semua lampu kantor menyala terang. Dan segerombolan orang datang dari arah belakang Fabi dan membawa sebuah tart seraya menyanyikan lagu ulang tahun. Fabi menoleh ke arah belakang lalu kembali menatap Hiara. Ia masih bingung.

Hiara tersenyum jahil lalu ikut menyanyikan lagu ulang tahun untuk Fabi,”tiup lilinnya dong!”

Fabi masih shock dengan kata-kata Hiara. Lalu semua orang menyuruhnya untuk make a wish dan meniup lilin. Fabi menurut, berdoa lalu meniup lilinnya.

Semua orang bertepuk tangan, Edith lalu memberikan pisau cake pada Fabi. Fabi menerimanya dengan lunglai, ia masih menatap Hiara untuk memastikan apa yang ia katakana benar atau salah.

“Potong kuenya potong kuenya sekarang juga sekarang juga,” semua menyanyikan lagu ini termasuk Hiara yang juga masih menatap Fabi. Hiara berbisik,”it was just a joke!”

Fabi mengangguk lalu memotong kuenya,” Makasih ya semuanya, rela nunggu tengah malem buat ngasih surprise buat gue. First cake-nya buat…,” Fabi menatap ke sekelilingnya mencari siapa orang yang pantas untuk first cake-nya,” buat Ara aja deh, makasi ya Ara, udah jadi partner yang keren dari kuliah sampe kerja.”

Hiara tersenyum lalu menerima potongan kuenya dan mengucapkan,”thanks.”

Fabi memotong-motong kuenya untuk dibagikan ke semua orang yang ada di kantor lalu membagikannya satu persatu.

“Eh sori ya, gue mesti balik dulu nih…. Almost 2 AM, anyway, makasi ya semuanya, Fabian, selamat tambah tua ya…” kata Hiara.

“Yah kok balik sih?” tanya Edith.

“Iya, ngga’ seru lo!” sahut Fabi singkat.

“Dih, I should back!” kali ini Hiara benar-benar mengangkat tas dan blazernya untuk pulang.

“Ati-ati ya, Jeng!” kata Fayya seraya bercepika-cepiki dengan Hiara. Hiara lanjut bercepika-cepiki dengan yang lainnya lalu keluar dari ruangan itu.

Fabi menatap Hiara yang pergi. But, I still in love with you. From the first time we met…. I have no enough courage to tell you…. I wish it not just a joke. Every stupid things I did just to get your attention. How pity I am?

“Ara, jangan lupa besok jam tujuh pagi!” Fabi mengingatkan.

Hiara menoleh ke belakang lalu menganggung dan tersenyum. Ia berjalan menuju lift. Ia masuk ke dalam lift lalu menahan pintu lift-nya berharap ada yang mencegahnya pulang.

It wasn’t a joke. How pathetic I am? I still have those butterfly feelings with you. Since, we became so close, in one class, one organization, and now one office. Since you’re acting like a crazy child to me. But having Banyu is more than enough. But at least, I confessed it to you. Since now on, I can feel freer.

Hingga akhirnya pintu lift itu tertutup, tak ada seorang pun yang ada. Hiara menghembuskan nafas dengan berat. Ia lalu tersenyum, ikhlas.

It should be hard living just two of you there...
I'm sorry.. I try to done it fast as I can
So you two, aren't bothering about how to struggle with a little money there

To get what's our family deserve..
Don't bother about how you and mom live tomorrow... how your college tomorrow..

You just need to be serious in school
Be a best as you can do and me too here

The theme of Martabak Manis in this year is Island of Paraadise .

What is Martabak Manis? Martabak Manis is a gathering of a Management Communication big family.. for students.. alumnus.. lecture.. 

 Last weekend, we first gathered in Pangdam then went to Lebak Tjawene together by bus.

These are our pictures, especially Mankom 2007 pictures from Yulvi's camera :

DAY 1 :

DAY 2 :

Morning photo session :)

THE COUPLE :

Strida and Alvin... Alvin sang Korean's song for Strida, and she recorded it :) so sweet

Sis Nita and Reinhard. Business couple hoho.. She said that after 2 years relationship she's still feeling "gemes" to him everyday :) 

Sadly, I didn't come with my bebo :(

The day first was greatly done. Even if in my opinion,  the show wasn't very good. It's too resemble with last year Martabak Manis. The people who came to Marman this year is more less than last year. Moreover there's no agenda in 2nd day.. we're really bored.

But me personally, very happy. After long time no see each other we met again in there and doing much fun.

Thanks to the committee of Martabak Manis 2011

Nightmare

I know.. it's morning already 1.35 AM. But I still can't sleep. I have 'jogging date' in the 6 AM and I hope I can keep my promise. 

It's about my thesis! That's why these several day I have insomnia...

From beginning I said to myself, you should make it with your interest topic, and then I did it on my seminar. I made it with the title "Creative Processes in the Production of Website Fashionesedaily" using media ethnography method.

I really have a big passion in fashion, that's why I choose it. Then I met the founder of The Daily Media, a company who held Fashionese Daily(FD) and also the Editor of FD. But unfortunately, they can't help me. And then I called Detik.com (And it means I broke my promise to myself to make my thesis with fashion topic) . My proposal is in processes to be accepted or rejected. May be on next Monday I'll call them again to follow up. 

I'm now on my pessimistic point, I have no idea for my thesis. I thought over and over again.. how to solve this problem.  My Mom asked me to done my undergraduate study on this midyear. Then my dad asked me the same demand. Yes I called it demand. It's just three months again to done it and I have nothing on my hand :(

Oh God, I need your guidance.. please help me... I want my undergraduate study finish soon. I know my Dad need more money to finance my brother. He'll be on undergraduate study this year. I believe in You, God..

I just need to pray, Detik accept my proposal or make a new thesis proposal and after that I need to move fast. Please help me to make a miracle happen. I trust You.. Amiin
