love me for a reason and let the reason be love

Seringkali bila kita menyayangi seseorang, ia turut diiringi perasaan ingin disayangi olehnya sebagaimana kita menyayanginya atau lebih. Tapi, pernahkah kita terfikir bahawa walau bagaimana dalam sekalipun rasa sayang kita terhadap seseorang, sebagai manusia biasa adalah sesuatu yang sangat sukar untuk meneka jika mereka juga menyayangi kita. Ini sering membuatkan aku rage.

Itu belum lagi bercakap tentang fasa percintaan itu sendiri. Di awal musim romantis, setiap hari paling kurang 10 SMS. Pagi – Good Morning, Breakfast, Tengahari – Lunch, Malam – Dinner, Goodnite, Sleep well dan begitu lah hari-hari seterusnya selama setahun. Setiap SMS pasti dibalas. Masuk tahun kedua hanya tinggal Tengahari – Lunch, Everything ok? Dan Malam – Goodnite. Masuk tahun kedua, ada SMS berbentuk ‘pertanyaan’ tidak berjawab sehinggalah soalan yang sama diulang dengan susunan ayat yang lain. Sehari SMS down to 3 ala kadar sahaja. Ini juga membuatkan aku rage.

Tarikh-tarikh penting adalah sangat istimewa bagi perempuan. Contohnya, Birthday dan Anniversary of 1st time declare as a couple. Lelaki pula, secara alaminya sering lupa hari-hari yang istimewa ini. Tahun pertama as couple, ucapan Happy Birthday darinya datang pada pukul 10 malam di penghujung hari. Aku sangat rage pada hari itu. Turns out, someone else meraikan Birthday yang sama dengan aku, his course mate at that teacher’s college. Seiring dengan kejujurannya, ucapan Happy Birthday diiringi dengan pernyataan minta maaf sebab agak lupa. Aku boleh terima kalau lupa Birthday aku di tahun kedua or ketiga percintaan, but tahun pertama sudah lupa, ini sungguh WTFBBQ! Tapi akhirnya I found out, dia memang seorang pelupa. Lupa dompet, lupa kunci kereta .. tipikal seorang lelaki. Jangan lupa nama aku sudah lah.

Setahun bercinta, masalah ex-girlfriend muncul (erks .. awalnya). Masalah muncul dengan cara yang WTF, but sebagai seorang yang cool, aku cuba untuk menenteramkan jiwa yang kacau. Dan sejak itu sebagai seorang perempuan yang telah hilang kepercayaan terhadap kekasih hati, isu tentang insiden ex-girlfriend selalu diungkit walaupun ketika itu isu yang berbangkit adalah isu melanggar seekor anjing. Aku marah sebab anjing adalah antara binatang yang comel.

Masalah ex-girlfriend tu pula tak pernah habis. Ex-girlfriend nak dia balik, tapi dia sudah terikat hati dengan aku. Aku pula hangin bila tau the ex menggunakan segala macam cara nak jumpa dia termasuk lah hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan harta benda yang dikongsi bersama semasa bercinta. Dan akhirnya, aku dapat tahu mereka bertemu juga a few times, semuanya atas alasan ‘hanya kawan’. Setiap kali aku rage dan mengungkit hal ini, setiap kali itu juga dia dengan sabarnya mengatakan dia sayang aku dan the ex hanya tinggal kawan. Bullshit! Aku sangat rage dengan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kepercayaan. Apalagi bila relationship jenis long-distance ini. Aku juga sangat tak suka bila aku yang perlu membuat keputusan untuk seorang lelaki. A man was created to protect and lead a woman or so I thought.

Tapi bila aku balik bertemu mata sama mata dengannya, I am so surprise that he is so in love with me. Tidak perlu berkata romantis, cinta dan sayang kepada diri ini cukup jelas di matanya. Kejujuran jelas terbayang di setiap bait katanya yang hanya sepatah dua. Aku kah yang paranoia tidak ingin ditipu lagi? Dia tidak membuat keputusan kerana ingin memberi aku pilihan, I forgot the days when I don’t have choices at all. The most surprising thing about him is kesabaran tahap ultraman gaia dalam dirinya. Even when I throwing tantrum in front of him, he never loses his cool, never raised his voice, still looking calmly at me. I have never met his parent, but whoever they are I must praised their raising skill; you got in your family a godlike child with the most serene smile I’ve ever seen.

Dan entah sihir apa yang diguna, tetapi when he said ‘I love you and you are the only one. Others are just friend’ without looking directly at me. I believe him. Ianya sama seperti bila kita jawab ‘aku takde duit la’ bila seorang kenalan rapat ajak masuk MLM dengan modal RM10, 000. Aku percaya, sebab kalau aku ada duit RM10k, tak mungkin aku invest masuk MLM.LMAO!

Sememangnya kita tidak dapat meneka sedalam mana cinta seseorang kepada kita. Kita cuma perlu mempercayai cinta itu wujud dan melakukan yang terbaik untuknya, jangan meragui kesetiaan, tak kisah apa pun yang terjadi selepas itu, kita tak perlu menyesal kerana kita telah pun melakukan yang terbaik dan termampu. Sesungguhnya kita semua adalah manusia dan bukannya mahkluk asing.

Seperti kata pujangga ‘when we do something because of love, no matter what the outcome, you can never call it a mistake’ ok, akulah pujangga itu. Ini bukan kisah cinta seperti dalam drama korea, perempuan berkelakuan comel dan berpakaian pelik bercinta dengan lelaki dari golongan berada yang berpakaian skema berlatarbelakangkan musim dingin dan semestinya salji sedang turun.

Apa-apa pun, Selamat Hari Ulangtahun buatmu. Even if you marry someone else, you are still the greatest gift of life ever gave to me. Tuhan telah menciptakan senyumanmu untuk menghilangkan stress aku. Maaf kerana aku juga tipikal perempuan. LOL.

new year, new chapter, new beginning

Boarding on the flight going back home, for 2 hours my mind started drifting to the memories.

Once, I was told a story of someone losing his uncle. When everybody came home but he didn't, rumours travel around mocking his absence at the funeral. When I met him, he told me the reason of his absence. He was so close to his uncle that when he is still alive they shared so much together even went to an adventure of lifetime together. He escapes the funeral because he doesn't want to be seen weak by crying over the lost and because, he’ll definitely cry over it. But most of all, he escaped because he’d done the best of life with him. He has no regrets and no one to lose. And every time I got really mad at someone, he will ask me 'what if that person got run over by a car, will u cry over her?' it’s my housemate (at that time), so ya, definitely I will. And ... I'm not mad anymore ... Just like that.

Reminiscence that … for 2 and half hours flight, I travel around the memory lane. Have I done the best of life with my father? I am very proud to say, yes I did. I have been living with him, longer than anyone except my mother. He has beaten me harder than he ever did to any of my siblings. He beat me physically and emotionally. When I was a kid, I hated it. But as years takes me to see there’s more to life than hated what he did, I came home every possibility to see him, shake and hugged him, gave him what I earned and told him to look after his health.

Did I have the best memory of him? Although I am a person who treasures memories, and I can remember almost every details of my life … Sadly, I have only one fondest memory of him. The others are too sad to reminiscence. Nevertheless, he has been the person who has a lot of stories to tell and I knew most of it. I didn’t cry at my father’s funeral because I have no regrets. In fact, I didn’t cry at all. I have done the best as a daughter and I secretly praised myself for it when I saw my other half-siblings crying over him. Damn! That certain ‘He’ indeed has a lot impact on my life.

One great thing I learnt from my father’s life, always be organized.

So long my father. You will be remembered, just like you want. I will make sure of it. It’s been a great adventure of life with you. Now, my new chapter of life has begun. At first, it’s too good to be true but I realized my mother's long suffering has been stop by Allah. Looks like, someone has been praying so hard.

So much to plan for my new life.
So much to fight for, so much to take care of.

So long my cradle of life, your stories are live to be told.

Al-fatihah.

i saw the fireworks

Second week to a new year, 2011. And as cliche as it is, people asked about your new resolution.

I must looked back on what happened last year to have a new resolution. So, here it goes.

Best damn things last year?

1. Finally finish (err ... almost) the so-called study.
2. Went home 4 times. (wow .. airasia gotten rich, but aku puas hati)
3. I must say this no matter what. The Car! I got a car and in Brilliant red some more. I finally have something to drive around. Haha.

Best of all last year, I've got a 'heart'. to mend, to take care of, to hold on to, to put all my dreams, to create as many memories as I want.

And I can say, I've finally gotten over someone. I can finally go on a day without asking why. I realized there are no reasons why. Its just happened the way it is.

So this year? I will let the year go with the flow. Thats my resolution.

I saw the fireworks.

Coz baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Firework by Katy Perry.

Happy New Year.
