Jauh Di Hati

Serasa saya musim dingin di Bukit Pokrovsky itu sejuknya sampai ke Jalan Duta. Dinginnya sampai tak ada please. Tak ada sorry. Dan tak ada thank you. Malah penat lelah saya menulis kad, saya sendiri yang memungutnya di beg sampah. Begitulah kalau sudah tak ada cinta. Barangkali kalau saya ini sekeping sampul surat, sudah lama saya berada di dasar tong sampah hijau di luar pintu itu. Koyak.

Of Warm Shoulders

Nothing hides tears better than laughter.

.

So I have bounced back. Many times higher. Yes, again. And I find it amazing that the very thing that breaks my heart, mends my soul. Thank you for your prayers and faith in me. Thank you for your soothing words and warm shoulders. Thank you for the distractions as well.

.

I am all patched up.

Yes, again.

Lest We Forget

Just when I thought I could not break any more, I received this today…

.

Enida,
just to give you some warning so expectations aren’t strange when I arrive in December – Elena has moved in with me, along with her daughter.  I have explained to Mom that you and I will be getting a divorce as soon as I find time to figure it out.
.
I am coming down to see Kitreena and Edrick… we need to discuss with them what has happened and work through their feelings.
.
As I’ve said, I am getting on with my life… Elena is at least treating me right and is a very good person… cleans the house from top to bottom, cooks (even breakfasts), is a companion and friend, does a course on weekends, etc.  All this you had stopped long ago… you haven’t been my wife for years I realize now… you were sitting in that space, but not really wanting to be part of my life no more.  I think I sensed it… I don’t know who “stopped” first… was it me stopping to be your husband… or was it you stopping to be my wife.
.
Regardless… we both stopped… and we simply hadn’t come to terms with it until my infedility came into the equation.
.
It is time to move on.
.
Mr. You-know-who
.

My response was…

.

Babe, I don’t like the way you write to me. As though I have no feelings. You have forgotten the first years of our marriage when I cleaned our place top to bottom, made you breakfast on your way out to work and loved you with all my heart. Give yourself and Elena 5 years before you write to me again.

.

How dare you compare! What you wrote is just like what you did about Ms X. When a new person comes along, nothing about me is ever good anymore.

.

I take you the way you are. Good and bad. Even if this was the end of us together, I would never compare you to the next man in my life. It is very immature and cruel.

.

Let’s just focus on Kitreena and Edrick. I have no interests in who treats you right or whom you treat right.

.

Ms. You-know-me

.

I thought I would break a little more today. But I didn’t. For God has made me from water. With tears in my eyes, I now just flow. Away.

.

Oh… lest I forget, please remind me that my future is already with me. Me Monchies. My sun and my moon who make me nothing less than the brightest star.

.

.

I have found my true north. I am home.

.

Don’t Even

If I sound like I am trying to tell you something I can’t tell but you are supposed to know, I probably am. If I look like I am trying to show you something I am not supposed to show but you are supposed to see, I probably am. And if I act like I am trying to do whatever it takes to push you away, I probably am. I am not easy to come close to anymore. I am deaf. I am blind. And I am heartless.

.

I will hold your hands and touch your face. But do not want me.

Bukan

Tak kuat juga saya ini sudahnya. Tak kuat menahan marah pada yang memandang pengorbanan saya seperti memandang sampah. Bukan kecil luka di hati saya. Bukan mudah berdepan dengan kecurangan. Bukan sekali saya dikhianati. Bukan sekejap saya bertahan. Bukan senang memaafkan. Bukan sekelip mata mampu melupakan.

.

Saya buat semuanya. Melawan semua yang bukan-bukan. Tapi sudahnya tak kuat juga saya ini. Lalu saya bawa semuanya pergi. Biarlah saya jauh di mata dan tak tinggal di jiwa. Bukan dia tempat saya bersandar hati.

.

Bukan lagi.

Wordlessly Yours

There are no more words. Not even one. I am sent to nothing – to you – so I will be empty enough to be everything – to me. Tomorrow.

.

I am tired of listening.

Life’s Lemon Tea

Have you ever drunk that perfect hot lemon tea when the heat is just perfect, and the tang is just perfect, and the life you’re drinking the lemon tea to is just perfectly painful you feel like drinking your whole life into nothingness as you empty that perfect teacup?

.

It would not have been a perfect tea without some water boiled, some lemons sliced, some tea leaves plucked, and some clay burned.

.

And for me to think all these when I was sipping on my perfect Hot Lemon Earl Grey Tea at Delicious @ Dua Residence on a beautiful sunny morning when everything was (supposedly) going well? Not good, Enida. Not good at all. Be grateful.

Someday

Only when the song ended could I hear that sad cry in the middle of a soundless night. It was so sad… I could not bring myself to stop her. I just cried with her. And I prayed that someday, someone could love her for the rest of her life. Honest and true.

.

Honest and true.

What’s There

I don’t pretend to be the superwoman many struggle to be. I don’t know what ‘super’ is. And so I won’t say I am okay when my face is burried six pillows deep, and my tears is enough to fill a waterbed. I feel. And I am not running away from feeling it the way I always did.

.

I doubt.

.

As much as I want to trust, I doubt. The way I dislike this feeling of falling, I doubt. Just as much as I want to fall for you, I doubt. And as much as I let myself believe you, I doubt.

.

I have been hurt and I doubt I will ever love the way I loved… again.

.

Trust me.

.

But then again, teach me to trust.
I’ll learn.

What’s Left

I wish I could write sweet words that you would take with… when you go.
But just like you, words have left me.

.

This letter can’t profess my love. Nor can it show my sorrow.
So if you can’t love my words, love me.

.

Silently.

.

The way you left me.
