This is Joke, Isn't it?
In November…
I lost one of my closest friend. His name Asep Satria. I used to call him Ape. A moment when I watched him laid in front of me, breathless and lifeless, I wished I was dreaming. But it’s not. Then, more than a week I lived and acted like a paranoid. I scared to be alone, I feared darkness and quietness. Insecure was a perfect word for my state during that time. And I hate it. I hate being weak.
In November…
Irwan and Klandy broke up. I knew, it’s not my business but Irwan texted me of what he felt. Being a nice friend and a person who introduced them, I replied his texts. And now I know, Irwan is a drama king.
In November…
Leo lost one of his best friend too. I know nothing about his best friend, but I know what he felt. It’s sorrowful.
In November…
Right when my bands -Akira Shock and Daishi- performed in Bandung, somewhere in the same city, one of my precious friend had tumor surgery. I didn’t know about it. No one told me about her surgery. And again, I feel like I failed being a good friend.
And yesterday, I had chat with Runi and Angga. Runi told me that the tumor is malignant. She must do chemotherapy. She said she scare to be alone. I want to be on her side like our old days, but I can’t. I’m working in Jakarta and Angga is in Japan. We’re separate by distance. There is no way for us to turn back time where we climbed up our dorm’s gate at 2am after our late dinner and internet-time. No more loud laughter at the roof with Hanabi, milk, guitar and snacks at mid night. If only I could abandon my work, I will go to Runi and make another unforgettable memories with or without Angga.
I adapted two Runi’s story. It’s Ore no Uruha and Splash of Tora. Ore no Uruha is also translated in Japanese language. Her story is great, I believe that someday Runi can be an author and I can find her novel in book stores. I will wait until that time is come.
Anyway, these all were like a story. A story where we played as rebel girls with Runi who wants to be an author, Angga the handsome girl, and me with Yaoi obsession. This story start with how solid we are as dorm mate. Then one by one the girls left the dorm. Saree left the dorm first and Angga followed six months later, left Runi alone in small city named Jatinangor. Saree is working in Oil Association while Angga is waiting for her departure to Japan and Runi is busy with her stories. A year and half later; Saree still working in the same office and still a manager of two bands. She got bored with her job and never satisfied with her salary; Angga was in Japan and have three part time jobs. She hate her Indonesian friends whose mind are narrowed and she felt so tired with her part time jobs; Runi was still studying in Padjadjaran University and still writing stories. And Boom! Runi had a malignant tumor.
Will these three girls meet and rant about their life after they left the dorm?
Kimi no mae ni ienakatta kotoba wa…
Angga, if I were a lesbian, you are the first girl whom I like to date. Because I knew, you can bear my dictator-ism attitude and I believe you don’t mind being an uke.
Runi, you’re the only person that I don’t scare to dream with. I feel like I could go around the world if I want to. You make me believe that my dream is not only a dream… ‘it will come true’, you said.
I love you girls
