P.S: I miss you

Title: P.S: I miss you
Author's notes:
1st. I don't own La Corda D'oro. (
This story is taken from the anime la corda d'oro where there are Kahoko and Len as the main character)
2nd. I'm so sorry for my terrible english, especially the grammar ._. and here's my very first fan fiction/story
3rd. For those who don't know at all about La corda, i wish you could get it. There's no summary, because i just don't know which one i should tell you.
4th. Enjoy it :-D


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, yeah in the last four months, seemed very strange for kahoko, since entered the new school year in third grade. Already three people were quite familiar with her in Seiso has gone. Hihara-senpai and Yunoki-senpai has continued their education at the university, and the last was Tsukimori kun...

This year has been entered into the four-month or April. Already two months ago since Kahoko and Len communicated with each other ..............though, he's already in Vienna.
-----------------------------------------------
She get up from her bed then going to her desk and began to doing all of her homework.

“What the......i almost forgot that......” she shouted then gasped as she saw my mini calendar in front of her. That calender has been circled with a red marker and written....'Tsukimori Len’s bday'.

“it’s Less than 2 weeks, though.......” as she put her head down to the desk
“Okay, let's Study first,i gotta finish this homework, then i’m gonna think about that! Please be focus kahoko!” She decided to not thinking about that too much.
First i gotta do my biology homework
“Pollen as a carrier of ecological information in plants.....” she started to search it in my text book as she read it one by one but then she stopped reading it
‘Wait..Pollen,Pol-LEN..LEN..Po-LLEN..LEN’ as she thought then she wrote the answer to her note book ‘L-E-N’ she keep her eyes on the words that she’ve written on her text book. Empty eyes and empty mind she felt like she just got hypnotized just because of those letters
“wait...ah..this is not the answer, ugh baka no kahoko!” she deleted the answer which written L-e-n “Ugh please how can i thinking about that?! Why should this biology’s material.... should put pollen as the.....ugh okay stop it kaho!”

finally, She was on the last question.
“Covalent bond....” she stopped.
“What the..hell? why all this homework should have the words like'-LEN'? weird huh?” she punched her own head. “auch....”
She stopped doing her homework for a while . Put her head down to the desk again.....then, she took her mobile phone and started to seach the music player then played a song......
‘the lyrics were extremely fit to me.....though? ha? really’ she sighed

“I miss you I miss your smile And i still shead a tear Every once in a while And even though it’s different now You’re still here somehow My heart won’t let you go And i need you to know I miss you...... ......... I know you’re in a better place But i wish that i could see your face, oh I know you’re where you need to be Even though it’s not here with me”

‘AAAAAAAH- I really miss you.......Tsukimori-kun’ thought her


-----
"Kaho-chan...." called Nao "Wait up!"
"What's up, nao?" asked kaho
"where have you been? i mean these days you often come home in a hurry and you never told me, neither did mio"
"I'm so sorry nao. I've been bussy fo a days"
"For what?"
"Yeah emmm, actualy hmm for making a present to someone"
"Is it for...Tsukimori-kun?"Umm, Yeaaah...but..please don't tell anybody okay? i'm beging you" her face turned red likes tomato
"Hahaha okay, okay, i'm not Kaho" giggled nao.
"Am i looks so over?" asked her.
"No, not at all Kaho. If you did this to someone who really you admire of"
"What? no no...it's not like that! i just....though, He’ve been very kind to me, he was teaching me so patiently and everything that happend when we both together" she blushed
"That's sweet, kaho"
"Nao!"
"Okay sorry sorry, hehehe."
"Sorry Nao but i gotta go."
"Where are you going?"
"Go home immediately then pick the present up and go to the post office ”
"Okay then, bye kaho"
"Well, byeee Nao"

she Gave him a blue striped white scraft and a CD. She covered two songs into a solo violin, Miley Cyrus- I miss you and Bittersweet symphony. Though she’ve promised to him before he was gone to Vienna to give him a report of her violin progress.

Day after day, she already sent him that present and She had expected, that the package would arrived at afternoon on April 24 right on his birthday.

Japan, 24th April

I was awakened by the sound of the alarm. Clock showed 6:50a.m in the morning. She immediately woke up then took her mobile phone to called Tsukumori..
[06.57/23.57]*......... 'biiiiip..' she waited for him to answer her calling..'keep beeping.....'
*Vienna’s time
[06.58/23.58]....”Hello......Hino?” said someone from the telephone.
“hel...lo..Tsukimori-kun1 sorry for bothering you in this late night”
“Ah, okay hino. What’s up then?”
[06.59]...”I...I....” she stuttered “I just...wanted to say....”[ 07.00/00.00] “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TSUKIMORI-KUN!!! ”
No responded........
“Err..Tsukimori-kun. Are you still there?”
“ah..Hino....i don’t know how to say! But, thank you for the happy birthday...i really..i really..ah thank you so much”
“You’re welcome Tsukimori kun. Emm, once again i’m so sorry if i bothering you”
“No. Not at all.....”
“Really?”
“yeah.....” she stopped talking for a second “ehm..hino”
“what’s up?”
“Thanks for the presents that you gave me....”
“Eeeek? You..you already got it?”
“Yeah....”
“aha..aha..aha” She just dont know how to react, she felt her knees was so tremble
“Hino, im so sorry i gotta go to bed. I have a rehearsals to my upcoming debut with the orchestra.”
“Sure, Ttsu..tsukimori. Have a nice dream then.”
“Thanks hino..for your greetings...” as we're going to ended our call “i miss you too” his voice was getting lower and beeeeep.....disconnected.

Her face felt so hot and red as a tomato. She covered her face with her hands and remembering about the letter that she gave to him as she gave the present.

‘To: Tsukimori Len
Hi, there? Doing good? It’s been 4 months that you’ve left Japan. Hmm i just wanted to say Happy birthday to you, i wish you all the best Tsukimori-kun. And i promised you to tell you about my violin progress, remember? Here’s i gave you a CD. I covered those songs into a solo violin. I did it by my self so, if there’s a mistakes err..i’d like to apologize to you. Last but not least, wish you like the scarft that i made for you. Keep doing your best Tsukimori-kun. And i’ll do my best too in here!

Hino Kahoko ^^

p.s: i miss you ._.’

It’s already 1 week since i called him.
“I’m home.....” said kahoko
“Welcome home dear! Errr anyway...there’s a packet for you..and signed from hmm wait" as her mother tried to remember "if i'm not mistaken, it was from... tsu...tsukiyaki, eh no tsu...tsuna..tsu..hah just take it!” said her mother
“Ha? You mean? Err tsukimori?”
“Yes, it is!!” i gasped.
“Where is it mom? Gimme! hurry!”
“Calm down honey. I've put it in your room”
“Thanks mom” She immediately ran and left her mother behind and headed to her room in the second floor.
“where is that box.....where is.....” that box was above the bed. She immediately approached and opened it.

“A pink music box...” She opened that music box and a beautiful melody came out from the music box. Felt so nostalgic.'My beloved Ave maria.' she thought
“and a CD too? And a letter?” i putted the CD into my cd player as i opened and starting to read that letter

“To: Hino kahoko,
I’d like to say Thank you very much for your presents. I never thought that you’re gonna sent me such things like that. I love it. I’m doing good anyway. And about your progress, you're really doing it so great. You'r increasing so much, i really appreciate it and that's really such beautiful melodies. Anyway, i gave you the presents too. Though it supposed to be your borthday present. I was so bussy as a new pupil in here, i was going to sent those to you but...there's a reason why that i can't tell you. Well, and about the song that i gave you on CD, that was my original song, i made it special for you in your birthday. Hope you like it, and once again Thanks for everything Kahoko, i really miss you too

Len Tsukimori”

'That song, i really love it. It’s created for me, though...and Did he.....called me KAHOKO?' she blushed
She took my mobile phone then texted him a message
“I just got your present for me. I really love it! Thank you very much for a lovely song and very nice music box. I’ll take care of them :-D ”
not long after kahoko sent that message, len responded immediately
“You’re welcome, Glad to hear that you like it. Thanks :-)”
She held that music box tightly and smiled so greatfully. 'I really miss him. And yeah, i think i've fallen for him.'

Being Brave

Title : Being Brave
Author : Ninis


Hello my name Erinasha Putri Nabila, just call me Erin. I’m 18 years old, and this is my story. This year is my last year in high school. You know what student like me must to do in their last year. Study! Right. Pelajar kelas 3 SMA pasti harus extra study, bukan hanya untuk lulus tapi juga untuk masuk kuliah. Belajar di sekolah doang pasti gak cukup untuk mendapatkan itu semua, so i join some course. Little far from my home, but its okay.

Banyak hal yang bisa kita dapet dengan bergabung bimbel. Nambah temen, nambah ilu, dan find someone to crush on. Yaa yang terakhir adalah yang ingin gw ceritakan. I’ve crush with boy in my class, not at school, at the courses. His name is Patrick. Not real name, but i always called him Patrick. Hahha why? Dia suka banget sama patrick di spongebob, the pink star fish. No one know that i like him. No one. Satu kelas disana itu cuman 14 orang, jadi udah saling deket satu sama lain.

“Erin, tadi ke sini bareng siapa?? Sama Josua yaaa?” ucap Fei, temen satu kelas gw di bimbel itu. Who’s Josua? Itu salah satu temen gw juga di bimbel itu. Entah mengapa gw di gossipin terus sama dia. awalnya gara-gara gw ngobrol terus sama dia. yaelah sebenernya mah ngobrolin biasa aja, tapi yaa anak sma suka heboh ngejodoh-jodohin orang.

“Ciieee, asik deehh Jooo.” Ucap temen gw yang lain sambil menepuk pundak Jo yang duduk di baris belakang. Cuman ada dua baris di kelas gw. depan itu selalu baris perempuan, belakang pasti lelaki.

Josua ituu temen satu sekolahnya Patrick. Mereka gak sahabatan, tapi cukup dekat. Yaa secara dia temen satu sekolah, dan di kelas gw itu dari sekolah mereka yaa cuman mereka berdua. Lucu yaa, gw suka sama Patrick tapi malah di jodoh-jodohinnya sama temennya. Patrick juga sering ngecengin gw sama Josua.

“Sik asik, besok malam mingg kan Jos. Ajak doong Erin jalan. Ya gak??” ucap Patrick ke Josua ketika pulang bimbel, di suatu jumat malam.

“Apaan siih. Hahaha, lucu yaa si Patrick!!” ejek gw ke Patrick. Si Patrick cuman ketawa-tawa sambil ngerangkul Josua pergi.

Setiap gw les, senin, rabu, jumat, setiap pulang, pasti Patrick pulang duluan. Yang gw lakukan, hanya memandanginya dari jauh yang lambat laun menghilang karena pulang. Tapi gak jarang, kalo gw lagi liatin dia suka ketauan. Hahaha.

“Ngeliatin siapa lo?” ucap Patrick pas gw ngeliatin dia lagi siap-siap pulang, disuatu rabu malam.

“Heh? Aahh ke PD an loo. Patrick, gw ngeliatin motor lo, eheeemmm bukan lo.” Ucap gw ngeles.

“Yaa kirain gw. balik ya!!” dan begitulah. Mencintai seseorang diam-diam kadang-kadang gak enak juga.

Pernah gw cemburu gak jelas. Patrick terus becanda-becanda sama salah satu temen cewe gw di kelas. Dia tuh deket sama semua orang di kelas, tapi sama gw kayaknya paling gak begitu dekat. Gak tau kenapa. Gw lebih deket sama cowo-cowo yang lain di kelas dari pada sama Patrick. Gw sering chating sama dia, tapi yaa cuman ngebahas hal-ha gak penting. Kalo chat sama Josua, pasti hal-hal serius.

Pernah gw chatting sama Josua. Ngomonginnya tentang sifat gw. awalnya becandaan tapi malah terlalu serius.

“Lo manja kali.” Ucap Josua.

“Masa sih??? mungkin karena faktor anak bungsu, Jos.”

“Manja itu lucu kali. Tapi kalo terlalu manja, gak bagus juga.”

Yaa hal-hal kayak gitu yg gw omongin sama Josua gak mungkin gw omongin sama Patrick. Naaah yang gw omongin sama patrick, gak jauh-jauh dari artis alay, spongebob, yaa gitulah. Gak ada ngomongin tentang gw, atau sifat gw.

“Lo mirip kali sama Jacob di twilight.”

“Kampret, apa miripnya coba. Hahahaha. Gw lebih mirip Justin Bieber kali.”

Yaa hal-hal gak penting kayak gitu yang selalu gw omongin sama Patrick. Kalo menurut Patrick, gw adalah orang yang paling mendukung dia mirip Justin Bieber. Ahahha, gak tau deh kenapa. Dan pas dia ngomong itu, gw cukup bahagia. Dia menganggap gw ada.

Satu tahun ikut bimbel, satu tahun gw memendam rasa sama Patrick. Satu tahun juga gw bungkam mengatakannya. Sekarang semua udah pada dapet kuliah, yang artinya gw gak akan sering sering ketemu Patrick lagi. Dia kuliah beda univ sama gw. hari ini ada reuni gituu dehh. Dia jemput gw di rumah, abis itu jemput yang lain di rumahnya masing-masing.

“Diiihh, kenapa baju lo sama warnanya sama Patrick, Sa?” tanya Ray, temen satu kelas gw juga. Dia doang yang manggil gw Esa. Yang lain sih Erin.

“Gak tau niih, si Patrick ngikutin ajaaa.” Ucap gw sok risih. Ihihihi padahal dalam hati, yaa ampuun jodoh banget niih.

Pernah gak sih ngerasa gitu? Kalo ada kesamaaan dengan orang yang kita suka, kayaknya berlebihan aja di otak kita. Cuman warna baju samaan aja, bisa membuat gw berfikir gw sama Patrick jodoh. Padahal itu hanya kebetulan. Kebetulan.

“Ahhh kamu gimana siih. Kan tadi malem udah janjian, hahahaha.” Patrick mulai deeh becandaannya. Dia kalo diejekin orang selalu di tanggepin.

Apa yang bakal lo lakuin kalo orang yang kita suka ngomong gitu? Kalo gw, diem, tiba-tiba salting. Terus ketawa garing sambil nepok-nepok si Patrick. Sepele, tapi meaning full if we’re in love. Am i right? Maybe.

“Yaa Patrick, Josua ntar cemburu gimana doong?” ejek Ray lagi. Hampir 4 bulan gak ketemu, masih aja gw dijodoh-jodohin sama Josua.

Ini niiihh buruknya perjodohan. Kitanya gak suka tapi terus menerus di kait-kaitkan. Pengen banget gw bilang, ‘gw sukanya sama Patrick!!!’ di depan anak-anak biar mereka stop jodoh-jodohin gw sama Josua. Tapi apa daya, gw bukan orang yang seperti itu.

Acara reuni hari ini karaoke doang. Daan sepanjang karaoke-an, gw ngobrol mulu sama Josua. Alhasil, makin menjadi deeh gw di jodoh-jodohin.

“Aseek deh, Josua. Kangen niih yee.” Ucap Patrick di mic, sehingga suara terdengar begitu kencang. Gak papa gw mau dicengin sama semua orang, tapi gw gak mau Patrick ikut-ikutan. Gw selalu ngerasa tersingkir kalo Patrick udah mulai ikutan ngeceng-cengin gw sama Josua.

Gw selalu terfokus ketika Patrick nyanyi. Pandangan gw kemana-mana, tapi pikiran gw fokus sama suaranya Patrick. Kenapa gw mesti kayak gini? suka diem-diem sama orang yang begitu nyata hidup di depan mata gw. kenapa gak langsung bilang, Patrick gw suka sama lo. Gak segampang itu. Kenapa?

Patrick nyanyiin lagu Justin Bieber. Dia duduk di samping gw sambil nyanyi. Dan selesai nyanyi dia langsung nengok ke gw, dan bilang “udah mirip beloom?”

Gw ngangguk sambil ngacungin dua jempol tangan gw. dan dia ngomong, “lo emang fans gw. hahaha.”

Dia ngomong ke gw aja gw udah seneng banget. Kenapa cinta membuat kita bodoh. Gw sering ngomong sama orang, sama cowo, tapi kalo sama orang yang kita suka selalu jadi kikuk, jadi salah tingkah. Padahal yang diomongin cuman hal sepele. Sepele.

Karaoke hari ini selesai. Gw dianter pulang sama teman-teman gw. gw dipulangin pertama, karena rumah gw paling deket dengan lokasi karaoke. Nyampe depan rumah, Patrick inisiatif turun, membantu gw buka gerbang. Ini waktu yang ingin gw pause. Perumahan gw sepi, di luar hanya ada gw dan Patrick, membuka pintu gerbang rumah berdua. Tapi waktu itu begitu cepat berlalu. Pintu gerbang kebuka, mobil masuk, parkir sebentar. Temen-temen gw dimobil turun semua.

Can i back to that time? A few minutes ago? Ketika semuanya udah pulang, gw mausk akamr. Nyetel radio, ada lagu terlantun disana ‘...when you loves somone just be brave to say. That you want him to be with you. When you hold your love, dont ever let him go. Or you will lost your chance to make your dream come true..’

I think it’s just dream song. You know what i mean? Untuk posisi gw, gw cewe agak susah untuk mengatakannya. Tapi lagu ini, dinyanyikan seakan begitu mudah untuk mengutarakan perasaaan kita ke orang lain. Tapi tetep gw dengerin. ‘..I used to hide and watch you from a distance and i knew you realized. I was looking for a time to get closer at least to say… “hello”..’

Gw kaget denger lirik itu. Abis denger lirik yang terlalu gw banget ke Patrick, gw langsung download lagunya. Endah n rhesa, when you love someone. Dan ternyata, lagunya gak seperti yang gw bayangkan. Gw denger langsung ke reff, gak denger lirik sebelumnya. Lagunya emang menceritakan orang yang jatuh cinta, tapi diam-diam.

Read this lyrics, ‘...i love you but it’s not so easy to make you here with me. I wanna touch and hold you forever, but you’re still in my dream..’ ini lagu gw banget. Gw yang begitu menginginkan Patrick tapi semuanya tampak susah untuk jadi nyata.

Kenapa? Because i’m not try to say it. Gw terlalu memendamnya sendirian. Maybe, maybe, if i share it with other they can help me. dan yang terlintas di pikiran gw adalah Josua. Dia orang yang gw kenal paling deket sama Patrick. Gw sms dia. tapi pending. Gw online, berfikir mungkin Josua online. Tapi apa yang dapet, yang online mala Patrick. Dan dia nyapa gw.

“Eriiiiin.” Sapa Patrick.

Biasanya gw langsung bales, dengan tampang senyam-senyum gak jelas. Tapi sekarang, malah mikir lama. Patrick ngrim buzz terus. Dan akhirnya gw ngebales chatnya dia, “Patrick. :D”

“Gw lagi naksir niih sama cewe. Tapi gak tau mau ngomong ke dianya gimana.”

Jedeeeerrrr. Runtuh seketika mimpi-mimpi gw sama Patrick. Mimpi gw bisa sama Patrick. Mimpi yang bakal gw mulai dengan ngomong ke Josua. Mimpi itu hancur seketika. Mimpi yang gw bikin selama satu tahun, hancur hanya denangan 5 kata. Gw lagi suka sama cewe.

Lagu endah n rhesa masih melantuk di kamar gw. sekarang dia melantun dari laptop gw, yang sekaligus gw pake buat chat sama Patrick. Ketika reff nya berkumandang, gw kayak di tanceeepp sama liriknya. Be brave to say it, Erin!!! Gak bisalah, dia naksir cewe lain.

“Oohhh...” gw cuman bisa ngebales chat Patrick dengan kata itu. Gw kehabisan kata-kata.

“Ya ilah, lo lama mikir, cuman ngebales oohh??”

“Yaa ngomong lah sama cewenya, lo suka sama dia.” gw saat itu tiba-tiba pengen jadi orang termunafik sedunia. Gw mikir, kalo gw gak bisa dapetin Patrick, Patrick bisa dapetin cewe yang dia suka. Biarin dia jujur sama perasaannya, gak kayak gw.

“Yaa gimana ngomongnya? Dia tuuh. Mmm deket sama cowo lain. Tapi gw gak yakin siih mereka saling suka.” Bales Patrick.

Dan kemunafikan gw pun terlontar, “menurut lagu yang lagi gw denger niih ya, when you love someone just be brave to say that you want him to be with you. Him lo ganti her.”

“Oh ya ya ya. Lagu apaan deeh?”

“Endah n rhesa. Denger deeh. Bagus liriknya.” Daan kemunafikan gw muncul lagi dengan ngechat dia kayak gini, “show what you feel to that girl. Now or never. Kalo lo telat, keburu ada yang dapet. Kata lo dia lagi deket kan sama cowo.”

“Okeee, sip. Lo emang selalu ngedukung gw. Erin is my biggest fans, hahaha.”

Cause love will find a way, yeaahh. I believe that. Love will find a way, and Patrick is not that way. Kalo gw brave, bisa aja gw bilang ke Patrick ‘dia lagi deket sama cowo. Lo mending gak usah nyari masalah. Masih ada cewe yang suka kok sama lo.’ BISA AJA. Tapi enggak gw lakuin, i’m not brave. And i know it. I’m stupid, yeaah i am.

Biasanya gw seneng kalo Patrick bilang gw selalu ngedukung dia, gw fansnya dia. tapi sekarang enggak. Karena gw mendukung dia untuk menjauh dari gw. secara gak langsung, gw mesti ngejauh dan membuang perasaan gw. bisa aja Patrick jadian sama cewe itu. Secara dari tampang Patrick oke banget.

“Lo lagi dimana sekarang, Rin? Nonton deehh yuuukk. Kasih tau gw, gw mesti gimana ngadepin perasaan gw ini.”

Dia ngajak gw nonton, for the first time ever. Harusnya gw langsung setuju, tapi yang sekarang gw lakuin malah bengong. Berifkir, nyari-nyari alesan supaya gak ketemu dia. tapi gak bisa, gak pernah bisa gw nolak dia. even, i know he’s never be mine. “Rumah. Hayoo deh. Jemput ya. Jam berapa? Dimana?”

“Good.. hmm, besok jam 7 malme gw jemput deh ya. Yaa paling nonton di citos, deket kan yaah.”

Dan dia off. Gw diam dalam kepatah-hatian. Besok gw mesti jadi gw yang gak punya perasaaan apa-apa sama Patrick. Tapi gimana? Yaa selama gw kenal sama Patrick kan gw memendam perasaan sama dia. love make you blind. Gw dibutakan oleh Patrick.

Keesokan harinya. Jam menunjukan jam 6.30. Patrick barusan sms udah on the way rumah gw. harusnya sekarang gw lagi sibuk ngaca, ngerapiin rambut, gelisah, mondar-mandir. Tapi sekarang gw malah duduk terdiam di ruang tamu. Antara mood gak mood baut pergi. Gw nyetel lagu di hp gw, dan lagu endah n rhesa kembali melantun.

‘..And I never thought that I’m so strong, I stuck on you and wait so long. But when love comes it can’t be wrong. Don’t ever give up just try and try to get what you want. Cause love will find the way….’

Yeaah i stuck on Patrick and wait him so long. Dont ever give up. Jadi terlintas di benak gw, ini saatnya lo bilang perasaaan lo ke Patrick. Jangan mikir respond baik yang bakal lo terima. Respond yang, ‘gw juga suka sama lo.’ Gw mesti bilang perasaan gw ke dia, untuk melegakan semua. Gak ada lagi beban di hati, setidaknya gw udah jadi ‘brave’.

Patrick datang, dan kita pergi ke citos. Kita jalan berdua doang. Gw tetep kikuk di depannya. Kita mesen tiket nonton, dan nonton film yang jam 8.45. selese nonton, nyari restoran yang masih buka di sekitar Jakarta. Tapi malah ke circle K, beli burger yang di panasin. Kita makan burger itu di mobilnya Patrick. Ini waktunya gw menjadi ‘brave.

Gw berhenti memakan burger yang gw pegang, meneguk sedikit air mineral and start talking. “Patrick, ada yang mau gw omongin.”

Patrick langsung berhenti makan, dan duduk menghadap gw. dia meminum cokenya, dan menunggu gw ngomong. Tapi pas gw mau ngomong, si Patrick ngomong duluan. “Hmm, bentar. Lo sebenernya sama Josua gimana sih Rin??”

Mesti gw jawab? Iyalah, dia nanya. Gw mesti jawab apa? Jujur? Apa bohong? Kalo gw mau jadi munafik gw bakal bilang, ‘hmm sebenernya gw suka sama Josua.’ Dengan harapan Patrick cemburu dan ternyata dia punya feeling sama gw.

Tapi bisa aja dia ngejawab, ‘oohh sini gw bantu biar lo jadian.’ Tanpa ada rasa cemburu sedikit pun yang artinya dia gak pernah punya feeling sama kayak gw.

“Gak gimana-gimana. Yaa kayak temen aja. Kayak...” gw berhenti. Menelan ludah, dan menghirup nafas panjang. “Yaa kayak gw ke lo, gw ke Fei, gw ke Ray. Sama aja. Yaaa anak-anak aja bikin gw serasa gimanaaa gitu. Hahahha.” Gw memaksakan ketawa gw, yang malah kedengeran kayak gak pas untuk ketawa.

Patrick nangguk-ngangguk. “Emang kenapa?” tanya gw ke Patrick.

“Nanya doang. Ahahahha. Tadi mau ngomong apa, Rin?” gw diem, suasana hening. Apa yg harus gw bilang niih? Be brave or be stupid?

“Kapan kita reuni lagi?” i choose be stupid. Baru kemaren reuni, ngapain gw tanyain reuni lagi.

“Nada bicara lo tadi udah serius, gw udah naro tampang serius nih. Eehh ternyata. Hahaha. Gak tau deh, urus aja sana.” Patrick menghabiskan burgernya. Setelah habis, dia menyetater mobilnya dan berjalan menuju arah rumah gw.

Aahhhh, gw merasa begitu bego. Di perjalanan menuju rumah gw, gw mencoba menjadi munafik lagi. “Udah nyatain perasaan belom lo ke cewe yang lo taksir?”

“Belom nih. Belom jelas juga statusnya dia ke gw kayak apa.” Ucap Patrick sambil serius nyetir. Dia belom ngomong, waktunya gw ngomong. Time to be brave. Now or never.

Ahhh gw mencoba kuat, tapi gak bisa. Gw terlau banyak berharap. Terlalu banyak berharap. Tapi kali aja omongan gw bisa buat dia berfikir. Iyaa. “Patrick, gw mau ngomong.”

“Kalo mau tentang reuni..”

Gw memotong omongan Patrick, “bukan. Aduuh, serius yang ini.” Mobil berhenti. Lampu merah. Aduuh kenapa gak ijo aja siih. Kalo lampu merah, mobil berhenti, pasti si Patrick nengok ke gw. jiper niiih.

“You know, the song that i give it to you. Endah n rhesa when you love someone?” Gw liat Patrick ngangguk-ngangguk. Lampu hijau, mobil berjalan lagi. “Itu lagunya gw banget. And him in that song is some guy that i meet this past year. Cool guy, really funny..”

Gw mencoba merangkai kata-kata yang bener. Supaya gak begitu bikin gw malu. “Gw ketemu cowo ini di tempat les. And from the first time i saw him, i like him. But i’m not brave enough to say it to that guy. But today, i say it to you.”

Patrick memberhentikan mobilnya di tepi jalanan Jakarta yang mulai kosong. Dia melepaskan savety beltnya dan menoleh ke arah gw. mencoba mendengarkan dengan seksama ucapan gw yang sebenernya udah abis. Dia ngerti gak ya?

“Understand?” tanya gw.

“Understood.”

Gw mesti seneng apa sedih gak tau deeh. Dia ngerti maksud gw, terus gw gimana?? Seneng atau sedih? So complicated.

“Thats all. Being brave its so hard. But its makes me feel free. You must try that. Be brave to say what you feel to that lucky girl.” Gw senyum ke Patrick. Patrick juga senyum ke gw.

Ya Tuhan, apa yang barusan gw lakuin yaah? Terinspirasi sama lagu langsung gw kerjain. Aahhhh bahaya juga nih lagu-lagu kayak gitu. “Ayo deeh pulang. Jam 11 niih.” Ucap gw. daritadi kagak jalan-jalan ini mobilnya. Bingung gw.

“You say, i must try it. Right?” gw ngangguk. “So this is my turn.”

Heh? His turn? Okee gw agak kebingungan sekarang. “your turn??”

“Congratulation Erin!!!” ucap Patrick, lalu dia menjalankan mobilnya lagi. Apa maksudnya dengan kata selamat??? Stress nih bocah. Menurut gw dia gak pernah denger pengakuan cewe. Stupid yahh gw?

Mobil nyampe di depan rumah, gw bukain gerbang buat dia muter balik. Ketika mobil udah muter balik, Patrick buka kaca. “Masuk deeh.” Ucapnya.

Yaudah gw iyain aja, gw masuk dan duduk di bangku depan.

“You know why i give you congrats?” gw ngegeleng. “Congratulation, you’re that lucky girl.”

Hah?? Gw kaget, terkejut, gak percaya dengan apa yang gw denger. Tapi di lain sisi gw belom ngeh banget maksudnya apa.

“That girl is you, Erin. Masa gak sadar sih lo, cowo yang lagi deket sama lo kan si Josua. Gw ingin memastikan lo gak ada hubungan apa-apa. Eehh pas lo buka2an suka sama gw, wahh gak perlu deeh gw cape2 nyari tau gimana perasaan lo ke gw. ahhaha.”

Okee di ketawa-tawa di atas penderitaan gw. gw memberanikan diri ngungkapin perasaan gw eehh di mainin sama dia. “Bahlul!! Nyebelin banget sih lo!! Terus lo pikir tadi gw nembak lo gitu?” ucap gw sambil nyubitin tangannya si Patrick.

“Wadooow sakit.” Booodddooo lo mainin gw. kampreet.

“Okee stop doong.” Gw stop mencubit. “Now my turn to be brave. Thanks for endah n rhesa first. Hmm, you know what you feel to me i feel to. But, bedanya gw gak suka dari awal gw liat lo. Enggak sama sekali. Yaa 4 bulan ini lah gw tiba-tiba nyadar ternyata gw suka sama lo.”

“Gw ikut ngeceng-cengin lo sama Josua sebenernya cuman pengen tau reaksi lo. Cuman pengen tau gimana lo ke Josua. Ternyata cuman teman. Ternyata lo sukanya sama gw.”

“Heh, terus aja mojokin gw.” gw nempeling kepalanya. Gw dirugiin nih disini.

“Oke oke sorry. Intinya, gak peduli deh udah berapa lama gw suka sama lo intinya, aku sayang sama kamu. And i really appreciate what you did before, being brave. Its makes me more in love with you. Tapi kenapa kamu gak bilang siih suka sama gw udah lama?? Kan gw gak perlu susah payah nyari2 info gimana lo ke gw.”

“Yaa masa gw langsung terang-terangan bilang suka sama lo. Dimana gw naro harga diri gw??” ntar gw dipikir cewe kegatelan lagi, aahh. Males deh.

“Yaa bagus deh kamu bilang hari ini, pas gw udah sayang sama lo. Hahaha.”

“Jadiii...” gw mencoba bertanya agak malu-malu, ahhahaha. Aku mauuuu tapi maluuu.

“Pacaran yuk.” Ucap Patrick. Aahh gak romantis banget deh.

“Diiihh ngajak pacaran apa ngajak main?”

“Utututu ngambek. Aku seneng kok setiap ngeliat kamu ngambek kalo lagi di kerjain sama anak-anak. Iihh makin sayang deh.”

Gw adalah target paling gampang untuk dibikin ngambek kalo dikelas. Adaaa aja harinya gw ngambek, tapi cuman bentar. Tapi tetep aja kadang-kadang becandanya nyebelin.

“Aku sayang sama kamu, kamu sayang sama aku. kamu mau jadi pacar aku?”

“Absolutely yes.”

Dan kitapun jadian. Itulah ending kisah gw. kisah pendek penuh dengan keberanian.

Kadang-kadang, hal yang kita pikirin itu beda jauh dengan aslinya. Gw selalu berfikir gak mungkin Patrick suka sama gw, tapi ternyata? Beda banget, jauhhh dari angan-angan gw. sebuah lagu, sebuah lagu membuat gw mendapatkan dia. sebuah lagu mengajarkan gw untuk berani.

Jangan takut untuk memulai sesuatu, tapi jangan memulai sesuatu yang malah cuman bikin kita down. Gak semua laki-laki siap ngedenger pengakuan kayak gw. pengakuan yang paling penting itu sebenernya, pengakuan ke diri sendiri. We must be honest to ourself.
