"Dear Love"

Dear Love,

This is the last day

Of the 31 days we promised to walk together

In the river of words

I'm sorry, Love

I'm sorry I couldn't keep the promise I made

I couldn't let the words flowing freely

I'm stucked, Love

I don't know what's wrong

I just couldn't find the right trigger

But you know something, Love

All through the lots of pictures

That I browsed

I found one particular one

That screamed louder than the others

It felt like I could make the story even longer than I already did

I don't want to promise you anything else, Love

Cause I'm so very afraid I can't keep it either

And make you disappointed one more time

Dear Love,

Thank you for all your patience

And your neverending supports

But I know I have to step in conscious to make it

In the end it's all up to me

To make it come true or not

Cause what a writer should do is just one thing, write

Yupp, writing, Love

And I should do it for me

Not for anyone else

Cause this is my own dream

Not the one that has been planted by others

So I should do what's needed to make my dream a reality

Dear Love,

Thank you for this 31 days' journey

I know it's not much that I can share

But I'm glad it's over

Cause the end is the beginning of something new

And I hope this new beginning will give a different ending

By doing different things during the process

Dear Love,

One month will officially end within hours

One whole month in the new year of 2012

I still have eleven months left before 2012 will soon pass me by, too

Help me find the inspirations, Love

The inspirations to let out all the words

And create some stories from them

Will you do that, Love?

For me, please?

I know I need lots of determinations to finish this through

But I truly wish I could, Love

For I want to leave something behind

Even when I'm no longer breathe in this place called Earth

Goodbye, January 2012

Like it or not, you're always be a part of me

That I can't turn back

May whatever lesson you're giving me this month

Will make me learn and not make the same mistake

So long, so long.. until we meet again another time

Picture Talking : Watching Over You

"Watching Over You"

I liked doing people-watching

It fascinated to see what they did

When they thought no one was looking

Like that man over there

Who was playing games with his friend

He shouted loudly and pointed at his friend's back

That made his friend turned around and not seeing

When he then switched his cards with better ones

Or the woman near the river bank

Who secretly slipped a small wallet to her pocket

The wallet that I was sure wasn't hers

Cause she took it from the pile of clothes she was washing

Can you see the little child near the watermill?

Do you have any idea what he just did?

He stole a slice of cake from the red wagon

And put it in his mouth

As he was running away

How about the couple who were sitting under that tree?

Looking at them, you might think they were such a lovely couple

Who loved each other so dearly

But let me tell you something

They hadn't been faithful to one another

Cause a moment before both of them were seeing someone else!

Oh, how amazing the things you could find

If you don't believe what I've just told you

You could ask Silver, my black cat

For he's always with me

Whenever I came down to Earth to watch those people

Hey, who knows, one day you might be the one I'm watching over

So, be very aware of what you're doing

Whenever you think no one is watching

Cause I might be somewhere up in the tree

To watch over you

"Little Fairy"

I came across a little fairy

On my way back home from my friend's house

She was sitting on an icely branch

The ice fell on me as I walked down where she sat

She laughed merrily

When I looked up and found her

She was so small with a sparkling star on her head

And a pair of golden wings on her back

Her voice was crystal clear when she greeted me

She said her name was Flora

Flora, the Flower Fairy

I liked that name

I looked at her closely

She smiled broadly at me

She asked me, "Do you have any special wishes?"

"I can grant you your wishes, you know," she continued

Wow, not only pretty but she also could grant wishes?

I must have been dreaming!

I pinched myself to make sure it wasn't a dream

And happy to find out that it was indeed reality

I was thinking hard to pick

What wishes I wanted to come true

After a while I was stunned

To realize I didn't want something more

I already had what I wanted

And I need not anyone or anything else

I shook my head and thanked her

I waved her goodbye and continued walking home

I stopped before I opened the door

Asked myself if I regretted my decision

But all the sounds I heard from inside the house

Made me sure I had made the right one

I loved what I already had

And I wouldn't want to trade them for anything in the world

Sure it'd be nice

To have some addition of happiness

But anything could go wrong

I didn't want to take the risk of losing my beloved ones

Yupp, all that made me happy

Were already within my reach

I smiled happily when I opened the door

"I'm home", I said

Yes, I'm home

And in this very home I know I'm loved

"The World of Wonders"

There's a world out there, I'm sure

The world that isn't like ours

Where all the magical things

Still happen

A world where all the fun begins

A world full of love

A world of peace within hearts

A world fills with wonders

Would you like to enter that world

If one day you find the secret passage

That allows you to go

To a place you've never been before?

A world where imaginations come true

A world where wishes won't just stay as wishes

A world that makes your heart's desire become reality

A world where happiness isn't just an illusion

Now close your eyes for a second

No, no, no peeking, please!

Breathe deeply and hold it

Tell me what do you see

Everyone holds the key in their hearts

But only few were able to find

Only when your heart's free of hatred and worries

That key will appear

Now you know the secret

That I pass on

It's now up to you

To find that world or not

"Friends We Are"

Friends we are

Forever friends we will be

All through the ups and downs in life

I know you're always be there for me

And I promise to do the same for you

Whenever you're in need

I know the time we shared together

Ain't always smooth

Sometimes we hit the bumpy roads

And get tensed with each other once in a while

We might need some time

To be away from each other

But just want to let you know

I don't ever want our friendship to end

The laughs are still far more valuable

Than all the angers

Jingling through the problems of life

Hand in hand we're gonna make it through

I know I may have not been a good friend for you at times

I'm sorry for all the wrong things I've said and done

The road ahead of us is still very long

I cannot see what awaits in the future

But I can say for sure

Meeting you is one of my life's treasure

No matter how much longer our time left

Thanks for spending time with me

All those time and emotions

That create some bitter sweet memories

I hope when you look back in time

Whatever you might feel regret of, I'm not one of them

Friends we are

Forever friends (hopefully) we will be

Picture Talking : A Letter For You

"A Letter For You"

I've been wanting to tell you this

Since a very long time

But I really have no idea how to start

And I don't dare to say it out loud

But as time goes by

My feelings hasn't even changed

Only growing stronger and stronger

As each day passed me by

So I decided to write you a letter

A letter to let you know what I feel inside

To let your know how I feel about you

How you've made my world a lot brighter

Since you first stepped into my life

With your warm 'hello' and your sincere smile

You've changed something inside of me

Something that had died for long

I had shut down myself

From the outer world

Cause they've been so very mean to me

And only caused me pains

I had build some walls around me

So no one could come and hurt me

It was comforting for a while

But then I started feeling lonely

I never realized

That I've build those walls so high

So high that I couldn't climb them myself

To get out and start living outside again

But one day you just appeared out of nowhere

Standing right in front of me

Giving me your smile

Offering your hand for me to shake

A little 'hello' came out from your mouth

My frozen heart suddenly melted

And I felt warmth flowing freely in my heart

That made me smiled back at you awkwardly

It remains a mystery to me

How you could break down those walls

To help me see the light again

And take me out of darkness

I'm really not good with words

And I don't expect you to treat me any better

After you finish reading this

Oh no, that's really not my intention

I just want to say

Thank you..

Thank you for what you've done to my life

Even if you might not realize it

I'd better stop now

And send this letter immediately

Before I lose my courage

And only keep this for myself

For once in my life

I want to be true to my heart

To say what I truly feel inside

Even only in letter I can do so

"Dear Santa"

Dear Santa,

I know we just had Christmas

So this might be wayy to early

To write you a letter

But I'm the most forgetful person

So I'd better start writing now

Before I forget

What I want to say to you

Dear Santa,

Thank you so much for making my last Christmas

So wonderful and full of magical

I never expected it to be that great

Don't get me wrong

It's not that I wasn't hopeful

But I was just trying to be realistic

Just like what everyone else always told me to do

Dear Santa,

Do you like the cookies I baked especially for you?

I put them on the table near the Christmas tree

I hope you didn't forget to take them home with you

The next morning they were already gone

I hope they were taken by you

And not by Flurry, my cat

She's always hungry and often eats what's not for her

Dear Santa,

I have a very special request for you

For my Christmas this year

Hope you don't mind I'm asking it from now

Cause like I said earlier

I might've forget to wish you this

when Christmas is around the corner

But this is something important for me

Dear Santa,

I'd better start writing down my wishes now

Cause I can feel they're slipping away

To the thin air

Mm.. let's see

I wish not for things this time of year

For I've got so many

And I have no more rooms to keep them

Dear Santa,

Can you guess what I'm about to ask you?

They say you're a good mind-reader

So I'd really love to know whether you're also right this time

But I guess I don't have much time right now

I've been sick the last couple of days

I can feel my time is coming closer to the end

I might not be able to celebrate Christmas this year

Dear Santa,

If I couldn't make it that far

Can you promise me one thing?

I really hope you can keep your promise

Please take a very good care of my family

Don't let them stay sad for long because I'm no longer around

Cause I know when I leave this world

I'll be in a much better place

Dear Santa,

If I forget to say it myself

Can you please let them know

How much I love them?

I know they've tried their hardest

To make me healthy again

But I'm tired of fighting

I want to have my peace, my final peace

Dear Santa,

Please don't lose this letter

For this might be the last one

I ever write to you

And when the times finally comes

Can you please send back this letter to my family

So they know they're always in my heart

Forever and always

I've been blessed to have come to this world

And be a part of them

With all the ups and downs in our relationship

I want no other family but the one I already have

Dear Santa,

Hope you haven't changed your address

Cause I'm gonna stop writing now

And send this to you

Thank you for all you've been doing for me

And for all the children in the world

I sometimes feel you're not real

But I don't mind about that

See you later, Santa

And if I can meet you in this world

Maybe we have our chance

In the life afterwards

My very warmest regards,

(you know who am I, right, so I need not to write down my name)

"Waiting"

I usually don't like waiting

For me it's one of the most boring thing to do

Why waste time by waiting

Especially waiting for some uncertainties

Isn't it a lot better

To do something useful?

But I don't know

You've changed me

I've now spend my most nights waiting

Waiting for a call from you

To hear your voice on the phone

To hear what you've got to say

Don't you know you've got the most beautiful voice?

I could listen to your voice all day and won't get bored

And this is what I've been doing right now

Waiting..

Waiting for you to call

To hear your voice again

I wonder what you've got to tell this time

But I know for sure I wouldn't mind waiting

"What If (Different World)"

What if I told you

I was not from your world?

What if I told you

I was from far far away?

Would you believe

Everything I said?

What if I told you

I came from a different world?

A world with no limitations

Where your imaginations are floating freely

Anyone can grow wings here

And fly fly away up in the sky

Dive into the deepest ocean

And meet the mermaids

Or climb the highest mountain

And not get lost in the track

You can go deep into the forest

And discover a new world within

What looks good

Can be bad

What looks bad

Might actually a good thing for you

You cannot and shall not

Depend only with what your eyes see

For looks can be deceiving

So you need to open up the eyes of your heart

Learn to trust your intuition

And let your heart guide you the way

A world of love

A world of peace

Where the happy vibes

Filled the air that you breathe

The tears we shed

Won't harden the heart we have

All through the struggles and pains

Yet the love remains

What if I told you

We were not that different at all?

What if I told you

You could have all those in your own world, too?

Would you believe me

And everything I said?

For only wishes that come from the deep of the heart

That may come true in the rightest of time

When that day finally comes your way

I'll be part of you that lives in your imaginary world

Only you can take me out from there

To live in a reality world of fantasy

What if I told you

You were capable of doing so?

Would you believe me

And everything I said?

I'm waiting for you

So please come and get me

"My Own Little World"

I live in my own little world

A little world that I've known

My whole life

There isn't much here

Only few people around

But we know each other so well

I know them by heart

And they know me

Inside out

We have nothing to hide

All the good and the bad

Are shown openly

We learn to accept

Each other flaws

And make the most of our strengths

Sure we still argue from time to time

But the arguments ain't last forever

For we sort all out before the sun goes down

We promise not to bring the past

Whenever we discuss our current situation

We can learn from it, but not make it a burden

In my own little world

There are lots of colours

Not just black and white

We have set our own boundaries

In which others can interfere

And where we put the lines for them to stay out

They can give me advice

Without being asked

But the decision is on me

In my own little world

Sometimes things can be chaotic

Once in a while

They give me headache

They make me feel sick

They make me thinking of running away

But always always

Whenever I'm such in need of help

There's always a hand's ready for me to take

My own little world ain't perfect

And I'm still adjusting myself

While creating my own space that fits

But seeing their smiles

Feeling their hugs

Not to forget their endless supports

I know that I need not finding another world

For in this little world I'm living in

I know I'm loved and that's all I need right now

What if they're against us?

Let them be but I will stand by you

What if they throw you out your throne?

I don't mind as long as you're still with me

Why are you so kind to me?

It's no hard to do that for someone like you

But they say I'm wicked and cruel

That's only because they don't know the real you underneath

But.. but..

"(Loving Me) Shopping"

I've been wanting to go shopping

For a looong time

But I didn't dare to go to the stores

Cause I feel embarassed

What if I couldn't find anything that fits me

Because my body ain't as thin as a model

I pass those stores every afternoon

Looking straight to where I'm heading

Without taking a glance at the clothes that are in

I take a long look in front of the mirror

Examining my reflections

And analyzing my feelings

There's a little fat here

And a little fat there

That makes me round and round everywhere I see

At first I'm feeling sad

And I really want to cry

I almost shed a tear but then I suddenly realize

Why am I sad?

Why should I cry?

So what if I'm not like any other?

I've been with me all of my life

I've been loving myself all of these times

So why should I change the way I feel now?

For the first time I feel so relief

I even sleep longer than usual

And feel so fresh when I wake up the next morning

Today I want to do something different

Before going home I'm gonna have one stop

At the fashion store

I'm gonna search and search

Until I find one

The very one that flatters my look

I'm gonna wrap it with the nicest paper

And put a lovely pinkie bow on top

With some sweet little card I write myself

"Thanks for always being around," I shall start

"And for loving me still no matter what"

I sign the card and put a little heart

With a smile on my face

I'm heading back home

With a nicely wrapped present just for myself

Oh, can you see how those apples

That makes me want to pick one and just eat it

But oh no no, I just can't do that yet

At least not when my old man is still around

Du bi du dam dam

Picking up those apples

Is one of the world's greatest job

You should try it yourself if you don't believe me

First of all you can enjoy the sun

Feeling the wind

Looking at those wonderful clouds

Being in the open air is a privilege

Du bi du dam dam

But I think it's all come down

On the way you seeing things

It's all in your mind, in your mind

Maybe it doesn't pay much, it's true

But you can exercise without having to pay

And don't you remember that an apple a day keeps the doctor away?

Well here you can eat all you can but just don't waste it

Doing this job reminds me a lot

That much of the wonderful things in the world

Are still free and anyone can have them

But are you willing to find them?

Du bi du dam dam

The fresh air keeps my mind wandering

But I need to focus on picking these apples

So let's say goodbye now and see you later

And worry not

Next time you see me

I surely will bring you some apples

And eat them together under the tree

Or the Cinderella's prince

Who only cares about the feet and not the heart

And I'd say no no to the Belle's beast

Cause I don't want to get hurt before having my happy ending

I just want someone to love and call me mi amor

Oh, mirror, mirror

But you've probably have known that

So, do you have something you want to share with me?

I'm a good listener, you know

I can spend hours and hours

Just listening to what others get to say

And I just sit quietly

Sipping my tea and muching my cakes

All I need to do is just nodd, nodd and nodd

And they usually like talking to me

Oh, have I talked to much?

Where's my manners?

Come, come and sit here

And now tell me what would you like to drink?

"Let Me Tell You A Story"

Once upon a time

In a place far far away from our world

There lived a girl

Whose parents had passed away

Although she lives alone

She never feels lonely

Cause she has lots of friend who's always around

And helps her whenever she's in need

She likes telling stories for her friends

Stories that come from her imaginations

Her imaginations make her feel so very alive

Sometimes she even gets lost in them

One of her most favourite story

Is about a princess

Who comes rescuing

A prince

The prince has been prisoned for ages by a wicked witch

That witch also turned the prince

Into a statue and placed him in her pond

So no one could find him

One day when the witch was away

A princess in a castle nearby

Had a walk in a forest

And found that wicked witch's house by accident

The front gate was opened

By curiousity the princess came in

She looked around in wonders

And instantly loved the surrounding

There were many trees

That gave nicely shadows

And covered that place very well

From the unsearching eyes

She walked further in

And came into an open space

Before long she found herself

Standing in front of a pond

She stared curiously at the statue

Something in his face made her intrigued

She had a closer look at it

And almost had a heart attack when the eyes blinked

She was ready to flee

But a voice stopped her

She turned around and stunned

When she realized the voice was from the statue

'Please, don't be scared', said the statue

The princess had always wanted some kind of adventures

'This might be the one', she said to herself

So she threw her fears away and listened

She learned the prince's situation

And asked so many questions she could think of

To help the statue came to life again

But only few were answered

She knew from the prince

That she was the only who could make him talked

So she might as well be the chosen one

That could break the spell and release him

She pushed him but he was too heavy to move

She even kissed him to see if there was a magic in it

But nothing changed

And he was still the same

She tried so many other things

Until she was out of breath

But nothing worked

And he was still as stiff as before

She sat by the pond to catch her breath

'Wish you were lighter,' she said to the prince

'So I can take you out of here'

Cause she believed this place was under spells

The water in the pond was slowly moving

Even though there was no wind

Soon the air was filled with water bubbles

With each bubble that popped, the statue became lighter and lighter

At first both of them didn't realize about it

Until the statue prince began floating in the air

The princess gasped and held his legs all she could

Before he was floating much higher and disappeared

In desperation the princess screamed

For the bubbles to stop

Astonished, she saw them all gone in the air

And not a single bubble was left to be found

'What was that?', asked the princess

The statue prince only shrugged

For he absolutely had no idea what was going on

The princess determined not to let go of the prince

Now that he had become lighter

The princess could take him out

From the witch's area

She prayed that it would break the spell on the prince

When they left that place

Suddenly the weigh came back on him

The princess immediately put him down

Before he fell on top of her

The statue prince was once on his feet again

A smoky thin fog was all over him

And when it was cleared

There was no longer the statue, only the prince

The prince looked at the princess in awe

'Thank you very much,' and then he bowed

The princess blushed and couldn't speak a word

For she so much liked what she just saw

'That's the end of the story for today', the girl said

'Ohh, but we want more!' the crowds demanded

'Sorry to disappoint you but I have some other things to do'

'Promise us you'll tell some more when you have time'

The girl just nodded

And came back to her house

She opened her window and let her mind take her away

To the world of imagination where she could find her prince

Picture Talking : Princessa

2012-01-06T19:21:00.000+07:00

"Princessa"

Princessa is the lady of the town

With its white fur and sweetest smile

It's not hard to fall in love with her

The moment you lay your eyes on her

Every night her house is full

With lots of her fans

Who try hard to capture her heart

By doing romantic things they hope she'd like

Some cats would bring her flowers

Some choose to recite poems about her beauty

And how madly in love they are

With the one and only lady-like cat in town

Some choose to bring out their musical part

Playing violin, trumpet and singing in choir

They sing whole-heartedly

In hope their song will reach the lady's heart

But Princessa doesn't have special feelings

For any of them

She considers them all as friends

And no more than that

For her heart only belongs

To someone else

Someone who sadly to say

Might not even notice her presence

Princessa first saw him some nights ago

He was standing under the lamp-post

In front of her house

How she fell for that handsome creature

He wasn't one of her kind

In fact his race is well-known

To be the number one enemy

In the cat's kingdom

Princessa feels sad

Why does she have to fall in love

With someone she couldn't even have?

What should she do with her feelings?

Sometimes she wonder

Does love have to be this complicated?

Why can't she just fall in love

With anyone her heart falls for?

Shouldn't love pass

What the eyes see?

Shouldn't love conquer

All the differences?

Princessa sighs

Life would be much easier

If she could just fall in love

With any cat that spends the night entertaining her

Princessa, the cat lady in town

Classy and lovely

That makes every cat turns their eyes

Whenever she walks nearby

Any cats can try

To win her heart

But only she knows for sure

Who her heart belongs to

"By The Window"

I like sitting by the window

This window is the one

Which separates my world

From the outer world

From this very window

I can see the life out there

So lively and so colourful

So much of the opposite from my world

People are running around

And like screaming out loud

While I'm watching them from afar

In a silence

Those strangers are in different shapes

Some are tall, some are shorts

Some are thin, some are rounder

And they have colourful skins

But I'm not like any of them

Will they like me when they see me?

I'm all white, from head to toe

Only my hair and eyes are black

I have wings on my back

I had it since I was a kid

I could fly but I'd rather walk

And hide my wings anytime I can

Many things I can do in my world

But sometimes I'm lonely

For having to do these things

All alone by myself

I want to talk to someone

To hear their stories

To share the stories of my own

To laugh together with them

But I really have no idea

How to start

Besides, I can't break this window

For it has been spelled

The spell can only be broken

When someone from the outer world

Notice my presence

And take a chance to cross the line

But it has been ages

And no one has ever come

So I'll just wait here by the window

And praying someone will finally come

"Lady in Red"

Lady in Red

I never want to see you sad

Even though sometimes you're soo bad

That makes me mad

I'm familiar

With the way you talk

How almost like floating

When you walk

But what I love most about you

Is when you're smiling

Not only with your lips

But also with your eyes

They say many things about you

Oh, Lady in Red

Some of them are close to truth

But the rest are just trash

I don't know how you can cope

With all these euphoria

You're on top of the game

But sometimes you seem so lonely

Is there something you hide

Behind your sweet smile?

Are you holding on tears

That are ready to fall?

Do you have someone you can talk to

Whenever you feel down?

I wonder who do you turn to

When the going gets tough

Please hang on, Lady in Red

For you are such an inspirational person

That young girls should look up to

Your uniqueness makes you one of a kind

May you always find strength when you're week

May you find comforts when you feel sad

May you be able to always rise again

Each time you fall

Take a very good care of yourself

Oh, Lady in Red

I wish you well

Until the day we meet again

"Allora, The Black Cat"

Grr..

I've told you over and over again

I want to be alone!

I need not any companion at the moment

Why can't you just leave me?

I need my own time and space!

Stay away from me!

I don't need you

And I don't want to see your face

Why, you ask? Oh, come on!

Don't tell me you don't remember

What you did the other day!

Yeah yeahh..

You can give me your blank stare all you like

But guess what, I don't believe you!

Not after what you did

You know it oh so well

How much I longed for it

I've waited for days

Before I finally got it

But you just took it away like that

Ahaa, you seem surprised!

Does your memory

Finally catch up with your brain?

Of course I'm talking about that yummy salted fish

Whatever else you think I'm talking about

Oh, noo.. don't tell me you've made another mess

Hmmphh..

Are you trying to make a peace with me now?

A little mouse won't do you good you know

But I'll take it anyway

It's not as delicious as that salted fish

So that you know

But I appreciate your intention

And though I hate to admit

I gotta say it's no fun without you

But you have to promise

You won't take my fish no more

Or I won't forgive you ever!

Now, what shall we do?

Shall we annoy the farmer's dog?

It has been a while we keep him in peace

Ahh, you agree?!

Great, what are we waiting for?

Let's goo..

*the black cat is running together with her friend, ahh.. poor dog, he won't have his peace for today!*

"Dear You"

Dear you,

How are you?

Long time no see

I miss you, do you know that?

Where have you been?

Why did you never call?

Or contact me through mails?

Have I said something that offended you?

Have I done something that upset you?

Am I not good enough for you?

Dear you,

Yesterday I went to the restaurant

where we used to hang out together

I couldn't eat for there was too much memories of you

You're everywhere I go

Everything reminds me of you

Just can't get you out of my mind

So many things we've been through

Some were too good to be thrown away like they were nothing

While some others were like nightmares

Dear you,

If it's to end

Why don't you just say so?

Instead of keep me waiting and wondering

Have you found someone else?

Someone you love

More than you love me?

I'm tired of waiting

Why don't you see me

For just one more time

Dear you,

I promise I won't cry

When you say goodbye

Even I'm not yet ready

But I need a closure

Of what ever happened

Between you and me

An end to start anew

Takes time for my heart to heal

But I know it's better than this

Dear you,

I'm sending you this

In hoping that you will reply

No matter what your decision is

If I ever meant something to you

Hope you'd agree to meet me again

Even just for a while before the end

So, call me

Or message me

Or contact me whichever way you like

Dear you,

I'll be waiting

Hoping and patiently

For your response

Please don't keep me waiting forever

Cause I want to continue living my life

Even if you're no longer part of it

I wish you well and happy

Wherever you are and whoever you're with

Take care..

"The Alley of Fate"

Takdir mempertemukan kita

Dalam derasnya arus kata

Tumbuhlah rasa cinta

Pertemuan yang berujung pada kata pisah

Membuatku hanya bisa mendesah

Sementara kau tampak pasrah

Di lorong waktu kita bertemu

Tanpa pernah tahu

Suatu saat akan saling merindu

Telah kususuri semua jalan

Berharap waktu bergerak pelan

Melangkah dalam sebuah kepastian

Berharap dapat bertemu lagi

Dengan kekasih pujaan hati

Yang telah lama pergi

Tahun demi tahun berlalu

Tanpa pernah kutemukan jejakmu

Ke manakah menghilangnya dirimu?

Tidakkah kau rasakan rindu

Seperti yang bersemi di hatiku?

Mengapa kau terus diam membisu?

Kenangan datang menyerbu

Aku hanya diam tergugu

Kala dilanda sendu

Saatnya kembali melangkah

Menukar segala rasa resah

Dengan masa depan yang cerah

Di lorong waktu kita bertemu

Pada dirimu kumenitip rindu

Sepucuk rindu yang tak akan lengkang oleh waktu

I've been living here

All my life

Don't get me wrong

I like being here

But sometimes..

I couldn't help but wondering

How does it feel like

To live some place else?

Is somewhere out there

The sky as blue as it is here?

Is somewhere out there

The clouds as white as they are here?

Are the birds also chirping over there

Like they are here?

Is the air over there

As fresh as it is here?

Do they also have the moon

And the stars at night?

I like to look at the sky

In a broad daylight

Picturing a place I've never been

Wondering how the life over there goes

Does its streets are

As busy as they are here?

Are there many tall buildings that make dizzy

When you're looking at them for too long?

How about the food?

Is it as good as delicious as it is here?

And the mice, are they running

As fast as they are here that makes them hard to catch?

*yawns*

Ahh.. all these wonderings make me feel sleepy

I'd better take a nap now

And who knows I might wake up some place else

Even I'm not sure if that really happens

Am I gonna be as happy as I am now?

*hmm*

Ohh, let's think about that some other time

Now allow me to have my beauty sleep

And I'll let you continue the wondering

I see you again later

When I have the time

Love,

Missy, The Cat

"Pieces of Puzzle"

I have a piece of puzzle

But I really have no idea

What it tries to tell me

One day I come to my friend's house

He then shows me his piece of puzzle

Hey, that one looks like mine

I let out my pice of puzzle from my pocket

And we both very surprise

To find out how our pieces match with each other

I get excited and tells him

We should ask our friends

To show their pieces of puzzle

One by one bring their own pieces

We arrange them together

And finally we can see a grander view

This makes me thinking

That I can't depend on

My own thinking only

For what I know

Might only a little part

Of what really is

I need to collect

All the pieces of puzzle

Before jumping into conclusion

For with only

My own piece of puzzle

I really have no idea what it is

And everyone has

Their own piece of puzzle

To share

From their pieces

I can learn something

I haven't known before

Ahh.. I still have one piece of puzzle left

I'm wondering where it belongs to

I still need to figure it out

But I'm glad to know

That my piece

Ain't the only piece in the world

Kamu selalu tertawa

Tak pernah menunjukkan wajah susah

Menyembunyikan rasa gelisah

Dari pandangan mata

Ku tak ingin menghakimi

Keputusan yang kamu jalani

Karena ku tak menghadapi

Segala hal yang kamu alami

Dalam segala kesesakan

Ditambah beragam desakan

Membuatmu terjepit

Hingga dada terasa terhimpit

Beragam versi tersebar

Akan mendadaknya kepergianmu

Manakah yang benar?

Tiada satupun yang tahu

Hanya doa yang bisa kuhantarkan

Agar malaikat-malaikat kecilmu hidup tenang

Ketika suatu hari mereka menemukan kebenaran

Kiranya mereka diberikan kekuatan

"The Moonlight"

Do you still remember when we first met?
The moon shone ever so brightly that night
And you were there with your friends
Your face was glowing even brighter than the moon
And I was instantly in love

I couldn't think of anything else but you
I couldn't sleep that night
And when I finally went into dreamland
Your face was all I saw
Until the moment I woke up

I didn't know your name
Or where you were from
I really had no idea how to see you again
But deep inside my heart I knew
I would meet you again somehow someway

And destiny had been kind to me
By leading me to cross your path again
Did you know how nervous I was back then?
I took some deep breaths
Before I could gain my courage to talk to you

Since you came into my life
I enjoyed every minute I spent with you
Sometimes I was wondering
How could I have lived that long
Without being with you?

You have become a part of myself
And owned my heart completely
I could never go on another day without you
I promise you my love won't change
And I'll do anything to make sure it's true

Under the moonlight we first had our kiss
The very same moonlight was the witness
When we took a vow to commit to each other
To love and to care
Until death do us part

I'm more than lucky to have found you
To always be with you is my only wish
I hope we both never have a change of heart
Cause I know I could never love
Anyone but you..

"Time of the Year"

It's the time of the year again

The perfect time to share

To share the love and joy

For all the people that you love

To thank them for all they've done

To let them know how much you care

How their words and encouragements

Have got you through even at the hardest time

Always walk together hand in hand

Whenever you're in need they're always around

To give their supports

Or just lending their shoulders for you to cry on

Oh, dear friends, have I told you lately

How much you mean to me?

Maybe I don't say it oftenly

But I do feel it in my heart

So in this very special time of the year

Allow me to tell you

The things I might have only tell you

Every once in a year

You've been a very important part of my life

And I want to thank you for that

For always being around

For always sticking when we hit bumpy roads

I may not know about the future

But I do know that having you in my life

Is one of my life's blessings

The one I wouldn't trade for anything

So let me wish you a happy new year

May you have a more wonderful year this time

And have lots of nice surprises

Along the way in your journey of life

And just remember

Anytime you might feel like you're a bad person

There's someone out there who doesn't think the same

And that someone is me

Have a splendid 2012

Picture Talking : Anya

2012-01-02T07:08:00.000+07:00

http://www.postcrossing.com/gallery

Namanya Anya. Usianya baru akan menginjak delapan tahun pada tanggal delapan di bulan delapan nanti, tangga spesial yang membuat Anya memohon pada kedua orangtuanya agar ulang tahunnya kali ini dirayakan bersama beberapa teman sekelasnya.

Mama dan Papa tidak kuasa menolak permintaan anak semata wayang mereka, terlebih selama ini mereka tidak pernah merayakan ulang tahun Anya dikarenakan kondisi keuangan yang tidak mencukupi.

Anya tidak pernah mengeluhkan hal itu namun tahun ini, entah mengapa gadis cilik itu bersikeras ingin hari kelahirannya dirayakan bersama orang-orang yang dikasihinya, "Sekali saja seumur hidup, Anya ingin mengetahui bagaimana rasanya berbagi kebahagiaan dengan yang lainnya, Ma, Pa," Anya menggenggam erat tangan kedua orangtuanya dan tatapannya memohon penuh kesungguhan, "Anya janji, tahun depan dan seterusnya Anya tidak akan meminta ulang tahun Anya untuk dirayakan lagi."

Kedua orangtuanya mengangguk dan memeluk anak kesayangan mereka. Permintaan Anya tidaklah mengada-ada, masih memungkinkan untuk dilaksanakan. Mereka hanya perlu menghemat pengeluaran yang masih bisa ditekan dan sang ayah bertekad untuk bekerja lebih giat lagi agar bisa memenuhi permintaan anaknya.

Sebulan menjelang hari yang dinanti, Anya sudah tidak sabar menantikan datangnya hari ulang tahunnya. Setiap malam sebelum tidur, Anya selalu mencoret tanggal di kalendar sambil menghitung berapa lama lagi ia masih harus menunggu.

Di awal bulan Agustus, Anya berlari pulang setelah main ke rumah temannya yang tinggal hanya berbeda beberapa blok dari rumahnya. Anya mencari Mama di dapur. Penuh semangat Anya menceritakan kucing peliharaan temannya itu belum lama ini baru melahirkan tiga ekor anak dan temannya telah berjanji akan memberikan seekor sebagai hadiah ulang tahun.

Anya terdiam sejenak kemudian ragu-ragu menarik celemek Mama sambil berkata, "Anya boleh memelihara anak kucing itu khan ya, Ma? Anya berjanji akan merawatnya dengan telaten sehingga tidak akan merepotkan Mama."

Mama tersenyum, "Asal kamu janji ya tidak akan lupa memberinya makan serta membersihkan kotorannya," Anya menganggukkan kepala kuat-kuat lalu menaruh tangannya di dada sambil mengucapkan janji yang membuat Mama tertawa seraya mengacak rambut anaknya.

"Nah, sekarang Anya cuci tangan dulu lalu makan ya. Mama telah menyiapkan makanan kesukaanmu hari ini."

"Asyik," tanpa perlu disuruh dua kali, Anya langsung berlari mencuci tangannya dan membuka tudung saji di meja makan. Air liurnya menetes melihat ayam goreng kecap dan sayur bayam buatan sang ibu, "Ma, ayo kita makan bersama." Ibu dan anak itupun duduk berdampingan sambil menyantap hidangan yang tersaji, sesekali mereka mengobrol walau lebih sering Anya yang berceloteh mengenai beragam hal yang terjadi di sekolah sementara Mama lebih banyak tersenyum.

Hari demi hari berlalu, esok adalah hari yang telah dinantikan Anya sejak lama. Ketika Anya terbangun, ia menemukan sebuah bungkusan berpita cantik tergeletak di samping tempat tidurnya. Sebuah kertas menyembul dari balik amplop yang direkatkan di bagian atas bungkusan tersebut. Anya menarik keluar notes itu lalu membacanya, ia memekik girang membaca apa yang tertulis di kertas itu, "Anya sayang, Mama telah membeli baju spesial untuk ulang tahunmu besok. Nanti Anya coba ya, kalau ada yang tidak pas, Mama akan benarkan jahitannya. Salam sayang, Mama."

Tak sabar, Anya merobek bungkusan itu. Di dalamnya terdapat sebuah gaun cantik model kimono Jepang dengan motif bunga. Anya tidak tahu bagaimana cara memakainya, karenanya ia berlari ke kamar orangtuanya sambil membawa baju tersebut, "Mama, bajunya cantik sekali! Terima kasih ya, Ma!" Mata Anya tampak berbinar-binar membayangkan dirinya dalam balutan kimono ungu itu, "Mama tolongin Anya memakainya ya."

Anya mematut-matut dirinya, ia tampak senang sekali melihat bayangan yang terpantul di cermin. Gadis cilik yang dilihatnya itu tampak sangat cantik, "Oh, Mama, besok jangan lupa ya dandanin rambut Anya juga. Dan Mama tahu tidak, Tante Sophie yang tinggal di rumah sebelah memperbolehkan Anya memetik bunga di pekarangan rumahnya."

Kembali Anya memutar-mutar tubuhnya sambil sesekali menatap bayangannya di cermin. Anya membayangkan besok pasti dirinya akan terlihat lebih manis dengan rambut diikat dan dibentuk dua bundelan di bagian atas kepalanya sementara tangannya menggenggam beberapa tangkai bunga dari pekarangan Tante Sophie.

"Dan nanti sore, Ma, Vera akan membawakan anak kucing yang telah dijanjikannya itu. Ah, Mama, Anya senang sekali." Anya menari-nari di kamar orangtuanya. Mama tersenyum melihat kebahagiaan yang terpancar di wajah anaknya.

"Ayo, sekarang lepaskan dulu bajumu itu, Anya, biar tidak kusut." Anya tampak enggan melepas baju barunya itu, ingin rasanya ia memakainya tidur agar besok ketika terbangun di hari ulang tahunnya, penampilannya terlihat cantik. Lalu Anya teringat Vera yang akan main ke rumahnya sore nanti, buru-buru Anya mencopot baju barunya dan memakai pakaian bermainnya karena Anya tidak ingin Vera melihat penampilannya sebelum hari H.

Tepat jam lima sore, Vera datang membawa seekor anak kucing berbulu putih yang tampak amat menggemaskan. Anya jatuh hati sejak pertama melihatnya dan memberinya nama Milky.

"Kenapa Milky?" Tanya Vera yang dijawab Anya, "Karena bulunya mengingatkanku pada susu dan susu itu manis, sama seperti Milky!" Anya memeluk sayang anak kucing yang telah resmi menjadi miliknya itu.

"Makasih banyak ya, Vera, aku senang sekali dengan hadiahmu ini." Anya mencium hidung Milky yang membalas dengan menjilatnya.

"Sama-sama, Anya, aku senang kalau kamu suka. Aku pulang dulu ya, Anya, tadi Mama berpesan agar aku tidak lama-lama main ke rumahmu karena nanti pas Papa pulang kami bertiga akan berkunjung ke rumah Nenek."

Anya mengantar Vera ke teras depan rumahnya sambil tetap memeluk Milky, "Sampai jumpa besok ya, Vera, dan sekali lagi terima kasih." Setelah Vera menghilang dari pandangan matanya, barulah Anya kembali masuk ke dalam rumah lalu memperkenalkan anggota terbaru keluarga mereka kepada kedua orangtuanya.

Sepanjang sisa sore sampai dengan malam menjelang, Anya sibuk bermain dengan Milky, bahkan Anya berniat untuk membawa Milky tidur bersamanya tapi dengan tegas Mama menolak ide Anya itu, "Milky tidak boleh tidur di kamarmu, Anya!" Mama menyodorkan keranjang bambu yang sudah diberi alas selimut tebal agar Milky tidak kedinginan.

Pagi-pagi sekali Anya telah bangun dan langsung mencari Milky yang masih meringkuk di dalam keranjang. Anya mengelus Milky yang menggeliat lalu perlahan membuka matanya. Anya meraih sebotol susu yang telah disiapkannya khusus untuk Milky. Sayangnya Milky masih belum bisa menyedot langsung dari botol susu tersebut, karenanya Anya membuka botol susu itu, mencelupkan jarinya lalu meneteskan susu itu ke mulut Milky yang menjilat-jilatnya dengan lahap.

Saking asyiknya menyusui Milky, Anya sampai lupa waktu dan baru menyadari dirinya belum bersiap-siap ketika Mama menegurnya. Anya langsung masuk ke kamar mandi dan bergegas ke rumah Tante Sophie untuk memetik beberapa tangkai bunga. Tentu saja tak lupa Milky dibawanya serta karena Anya ingin selalu berada bersama Milky.

Anya mengetuk pintu rumah Tante Sophie, terdengar teriakan dari dalam rumah agar Anya bisa langsung memetik bunga di kebun. Namun memetik bunga seraya menggendong Milky terbukti menyusahkan. Anya terpaksa menaruh Milky di tanah seraya berpesan padanya, "Kamu jangan pergi ke mana-mana ya, Milky, tinggal saja di dekat aku," Milky hanya menatap Anya dengan kedua bola matanya yang bulat lalu mengeong lemah.

Ketika Anya sedang memetik bunga, Tante Sophie keluar dari dalam rumah sambil membawa nampan berisi secangkir coklat panas dan beberapa potong kue coklat keju. Tante Sophie memanggil Anya dan mempersilahkannya menyantap semua yang telah disediakan. Anya melahapnya dengan nikmat sambil tak lupa mengucapkan terima kasih atas bunga dan kue serta kado boneka beruang mungil yang diberikan Tante Sophie ketika Anya hendak meninggalkan rumahnya.

Ketika hampir sampai pintu pagar rumah Tante Sophie, Anya baru menyadari bahwa Milky menghilang! Anya memanggil-manggil namanya tapi tidak terdengar suara sahutan. Anya mulai kuatir, ingin rasanya ia menangis dan menyesal mengapa ia tidak terus menggendongnya saat memetik bunga.

Dengan lesu Anya pulang ke rumahnya dan menaruh bunga serta boneka dari Tante Sophie lalu mengurung dirinya di kamar. Mama yang masih sibuk memanggang kue kering untuk dibagikan kepada para tetangga dan teman-teman Anya yang akan datang merayakan ulang tahunnya di rumah, tidak menyadari mendung yang menyelimuti wajah anaknya.

Menjelang jam makan siang Mama memanggil Anya dan membantunya berganti pakaian lalu menata rambut Anya sesuai yang diinginkannya. Seraya mengoleskan bedak ke wajah anaknya, Mama berpikir betapa cantiknya anaknya yang hari ini berulang tahun ke delapan. Mama mengecup kedua belah pipi Anya lalu memeluknya, "Selamat ulang tahun ya, Sayang. Mama sayang sekali sama Anya dan Mama bahagia memiliki anak seperti Anya."

Walau masih merasa sedih kehilangan Milky, Anya tersenyum mendengar ucapan Mama, ia balas memeluk Mama erat-erat dan membisikkan di telinganya, "Anya juga sayang sekali sama Mama."

"Nah, sekarang kamu tolong antarkan kue ini dulu ke rumah Tante Magda ya, Anya. Tadi pagi Tante Magda menelpon dan bilang kalau Abel tidak bisa datang ke pesta ulang tahunnya karena sejak semalam terkena demam tinggi. "

Anya menerima kantong plastik berisi dua toples kue keju lalu berjalan menuju rumah Tante Magda. Anya sempat menjenguk Abel yang masih terlihat lemas walau demamnya telah turun. Abel mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun pada Anya dan menyerahkan kotak mungil berisi gelang yang dibuatnya sendiri yang langsung dipakai Anya sambil tak lupa berterima kasih atas hadiahnya. Anya kemudian pamit karena sebentar lagi teman-temannya akan datang ke rumah. Anya berharap Abel akan segera sembuh dan mereka bisa kembali main bersama.

Dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah, Anya melihat Milky sedang berdiri di tengah jalan. Anya berteriak memanggilnya dan kucing kecil itu menoleh kemudian berjalan pelan ke arah Anya yang berlari menyambutnya. Mama dan Papa selalu berpesan agar Anya memperhatikan arus kendaraan sebelum menyebrang jalan dan biasanya Anya selalu mengingat nasihat kedua orangtuanya itu. Namun rasa senang karena berhasil bertemu kembali dengan Milky membuatnya lupa akan pesan Mama dan Papa.

Ciiitttt..

Sang pengemudi menginjak rem keras-keras, berusaha menghindari anak kecil yang tiba-tiba berlari ke tengah jalan. Terdengar suara benturan keras dan tubuh Anya yang memeluk Milky terlempar beberapa meter. Milky melepaskan diri dari pelukan Anya. Lidah mungilnya terjulur dan menjilati tangan Anya, ia mengeong pelan memanggil Anya namun tidak mendapatkan jawaban, akhirnya Milky melenggang pergi, berusaha menyusuri jejak induknya.

Anya, gadis cilik yang hari ini genap berusia delapan tahun. Bermata sipit, berkulit putih bersih yang membuatnya sekilas terlihat mirip seperti orang Jepang, terlebih dengan baju model kimono yang dikenakannya itu. Hobinya makan makanan enak dan bersepeda di sore hari. Yang paling disayanginya di dunia ini adalah Mama dan Papa yang mana keduanya terlihat berlarian sambil bersimbah air mata.

Picture Talking : Welcoming 2012

"Welcoming 2012"

2011 telah berlalu

Kutinggalkan semua kisah sendu

Yang seringkali membuat hati merindu

Kuingin mengecap manisnya madu

Bahagia kini kujadikan candu

Yang kuuntai menjadi sebuah lagu

2012 yang kunanti dari siang

Akhirnya datang menjelang

Kuputuskan menendang

Semua pikiran negatif yang menghadang

Agar hatiku berdendang

Menyenandungkan melodi riang

Apakah kiranya yang menanti

Sepanjang tiga ratus enam puluh enam hari

Haruskah kuucap sebuah janji

Yang kutujukan pada diri sendiri

Untuk berlari mewujudkan mimpi

Selagi hari masih pagi

Apapun yang akan terjadi

Kuberharap kan siap menghadapi

Walau di tengah hantaman badai

Ku akan selalu mencari

Keindahan sebuah pelangi

Lambang harapan yang pasti

Picture Talking Varieties

2011-11-29T16:52:00.000+07:00

Selama 1 bulan, 31 hari di bulan Januari 2012, gua akan memulai apa yang dinamakan "Picture Talking Varieties", apaan tuhh?

Buat yang pengen tau apa yang dimaksud dengan "Picture Talking", itu sebenernya istilah gua aja sih, hahaha.. terjemahan bebasnya adalah "Biarkan Gambar Berbicara", maksudnya?

Dalam melakukan sesuatu, setiap dari kita mempunyai beragam trigger, misalkan dari curhatan temen, dari kejadian yang kita alami, atau tayangan film yang kita tonton dan bermacam2 hal lainnya yang akan terlalu panjang bila disebutkan satu per satu di sini :p

*padahal sih udah keabisan ide tuhhh, hahaha*

Lalu mengapa di sini dibicarakan mengenai 'gambar'? Karena gua mengamati bahwa salah satu pancingan terbaik gua dalam menuliskan sebuah cerita adalah melalui gambar yang gua liat.

Bukan sembarang gambar sih, karena gua masih termasuk yang picky, huahahaha.. belon bisa menuliskan apapun berdasar gambar yang gua liat, tapi terlebih dulu gambar itu harus bisa menggugah gua in a way barulah gua bisa 'menceritakannya' ;)

Selasa, 29 November 2011 (4:39 pm)

Beberapa contoh picture talking yang gua buat bisa diliat di Picture Talking @ Me in My 30s World.

Sebenernya lebih banyak lagi sih karena ada masa di mana di akun FB yang 'private', ampir tiap hari gua membuat sebuah "picture talking", belon lagi beberapa cerpenjang (cerita pendek nan panjang, ahahahaha :p) yang gua dipicu dari gambar, tapi ngga semuanya dipejeng di tempat umum sih :)

Naahh.. berhubung untuk workshop kemaren ini gua udah ngumpulin banyak gambar yang gua gunting dari majalah ataupun gua print namun akhirnya ngga kepake, daripada terbuang dengan sia2, mendingan gua gunakan aja untuk Januari 50K 2012 ^o^

Buat yang pengen tau apaan itu Januari 50K, yuukk.. gabung ke grup FB yang satu ini : Januari50K on FB.

Mari bersama2 merangkai kata dalam perjalanan selama 31 hari dan semoga di akhir perjalanan nanti, dapat tercipta suatu hasil karya yang minimal bisa menjadi kepuasan bagi diri kita sendiri, bahwa dalam hidup ini, ada sesuatu yang berhasil diselesaikan, ahahahaha :p

Layla & Sebuah Suara

2011-01-23T22:03:00.002+07:00

Layla terlonjak bangun dari tidurnya, dadanya berdegup kencang. Untuk menenangkan diri, Laylah meraih botol air mineral yang selalu disediakannya di pinggir ranjang namun ternyata malam sebelumnya Layla lupa mengisinya sebelum tidur, karenanya ketika hendak menenggak air dari dalam botol itu, tidak ada setetespun yang keluar. Botol itu dalam keadaan kosong.

Bagus, bagus sekali, demikian keluh Layla seraya menendang selimutnya kemudian menjejakkan kakinya ke lantai. Telapak kakinya menyentuh permukaan lantai yang dingin setelah semalaman dimanjakan hawa dingin yang keluar dari mesin pendingin ruangan yang selalu diatur dengan suhu terendah oleh Layla.

Lady & Vincenza : Di Dalam Kepompong - 8.228

2011-01-12T06:31:00.002+07:00

Jadi telah ditetapkan bahwa Lady dan Vincenza akan mulai masuk ke dalam kepompong mereka masing-masing pada hari ketujuh di bulan ketiga belas saat bulan purnama bersinar sempurna di langit malam yang kelam, yang artinya besok malam mereka berdua sudah harus mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada dunia yang selama ini telah mereka kenal dengan baik dan melangkah masuk ke dalam dunia yang sama sekali baru dan sejauh ini hanya mereka ketahui ceritanya dari ulat-ulat lain yang telah mendahului mereka.

"Mengapa hari itu?" Lady bertanya pada Vincenza yang dijawab Vincenza sambil tersenyum, "Karena, Lady, kita ngga akan lagi melihat sinar dalam jangka waktu yang kita ngga tau berapa lama karena berdasar info yang aku kumpulkan itu dibilang bahwa proses pembentukan sayap itu berbeda-beda untuk setiap ulat. Jadi yang paling baik untuk mengantar kita ke dunia baru di dalam kepompong, tentu saja adalah sinar bulan yang terindah, bukan begitu?"

Malam harinya sang kakek tidak menidurkan kedua cucunya karena Hannah berkata pendek ketika mereka sedang menyantap makan malam, "Mama yang akan menidurkan kalian malam ini." Anabelle dan Jodiville mengerang mendengarnya dan menatap sang kakek dengan pandangan memohon tapi sang kakek menggelengkan kepalanya ketika Hannah sedang tidak melihat dan kedua cucunya pun melanjutkan makan malam mereka dengan tidak bersemangat.

Kalau sang ibu yang mengantarkan mereka tidur, itu artinya tidak akan ada dongeng untuk malam ini, diam-diam Anabelle merasa senang karena tadi ia mengusulkan agar sang kakek melanjutkan ceritanya ketika mereka sedang makan es krim, karena sehari tanpa mendengar dongeng sang kakek membuatnya menderita. Terkadang Anabelle merasa heran bagaimana beberapa waktu lalu ia mampu bertahan sebulan lamanya tanpa dongeng sang kakek dan ia berharap tidak perlu mengulang lagi masa-masa itu.

Icelolly membiarkan tangannya tetap ditaruh di kening sang matahari namun ia bisa merasakan ada perpindahan suhu tubuhnya yang mengalir masuk ke suhu tubuh sang matahari dan pipinya terasa hangat dan mulai bersemu kemerahan.

Tubuh Icelolly mulai dijalari rasa hangat yang semakin terasa memanas dan dalam hitungan sekian menit setelahnya Icelolly menggigil dan tubuhnya bergetar tidak terkendali serta napasnya tersengal-sengal hingga tangannya terlepas dari kening sang matahari dan ia jatuh tersungkur di lantai.

Sang matahari tampak cemas melihat keadaan Icelolly namun ketika hendak memaksakan diri untuk bangun dari tidurnya, tubuh sang matahari masih belum cukup kuat dan sekujur tubuhnya terasa sakit dan membuatnya kembali berbaring dalam diam sambil sesekali melirik ke arah Icelolly yang masih tergeletak di lantai.

Mending mana, hayo, kamu disebutkan di judul tapi minim terlibat dalam kisahnya, atau ya seperti yang ini kamu ngga disebutkan di judul tapi berperan penting dalam aksi kali ini?"

Keesokan siangnya, sang kakek membawa kedua cucunya ke kedai es krim seperti yang telah dijanjikannya. Dan benar yang sang kakek katakan, kedai es krim itu amat sangat ramai, mereka sampai harus berdesakan dan memastikan bahwa lajur antrian mereka tidak diserobot oleh orang-orang yang mempunyai hobi menyelak dan tidak tertib antri.

Ketika akhirnya mereka bertiga sampai di barisan terdepan, Anabelle dan Jodiville terpukau melihat banyaknya rasa yang bisa mereka pilih serta toping bermacam-macam yang semuanya tampak enak. Tetapi mereka tidak bisa berlama-lama di depan tanpa membeli sesuatu karena orang yang mengantri di belakang mereka berteriak tidak sabar agar mereka cepat memilih sesuatu dan tidak menunggu selamanya sambil memandang kaca etalase!

"Oh, Kakek, aku tidak sabar menunggu besok! Tidak bisakah waktu dipercepat hingga besok siang datang menjelang?" Anabelle mengatupkan kedua tangannya dan menutup mata sementara mulutnya sibuk melantunkan harapan agar esok cepat datang.

Oh ya, jangan lupakan juga bulan dan bintang serta awan! Belum lagi di beberapa belahan bumi yang mempunyai empat musim, tentunya para peri langit lebih sibuk lagi harus mengatur dan membujuk kaum serpihan salju agar mau turun di kala musim dingin datang menjelang, sudah menjadi rahasia umum bahwa kaum serpihan salju adalah kaum yang keras kepala dan tidak suka diperintah karenanya para peri langit harus berpandai-pandai kata dalam membujuk mereka agar kaum serpihan salju merasa bahwa ide dan inisiatif merekalah maka mereka turun ke bumi, dan bukan karena diperintah oleh para peri langit!

Tetapi itu urusan nanti karena musim dingin masih lama jadi para peri langit bisa bergembira ria tidak harus berurusan dengan kaum serpihan salju yang rewel. Hanya saja ada satu hal yang menjadi perhatian para peri langit saat ini, yaitu sang matahari yang walaupun tidak memperpanjang jam tugasnya di langit namun tetap saja memberikan kegerahan yang luar biasa serta rasa panas yang menyengat.

"Lanjutkan, Kakeeekk.." Anabelle dan Jodiville menyahut dengan penuh semangat.

"Oh, Kakek, sebelum Kakek melanjutkan, aku mempunyai satu pertanyaan lagi." Tiba-tiba Anabelle kembali menyela bahkan sebelum sang kakek mulai melanjutkan dongengnya.

"Kakaakk.. baru saja Kakak berjanji tidak akan banyak bertanya, kenapa sekarang malah kembali bertanya?" Jodiville mengeluh.

"Kakek, Kakek.." Suara Anabelle terdengar berusaha menarik perhatian sang kakek yang sedang sibuk menyelimuti Jodiville.

"Ada apa, Belle?" Kakek menoleh ke arah Anabelle setelah selesai merapikan selimut Jodiville dan mengusap lembut kepalanya seraya mengucapkan selamat tidur dan semoga malam nanti Jodiville bermimpi yang menyenangkan.

"Kakek, sebelum Kakek meninggalkan kami malam ini, bagaimana jika Kakek menceritakan sebuah dongeng untuk kami?" Nada Anabelle terdengar memohon.

Sang kakek menarik napas panjang dan mau tidak mau ia teringat akan percakapannya sebulan yang lalu dengan anak perempuannya, Hannah, yang juga adalah ibu dari Anabelle dan Jodiville.
