Okay, this is not the ‘dialog box’ from the microsoft windows application.
Let me tell you how I love my window. It is one of the most valuable item for me, sooo valuable that everytime i ‘use’ it, gue sangat-sangat menikmati dan bersyukur dalam hati.
Since I moved to Banda Aceh, I had been a ‘nomaden’ person. Moved into 5 different bedrooms, for some reasons.. Well actually, I enjoyed the ‘changing atmosphere’ effect, but however, it made me tired to pick up my stuff and move over from room to room, house to house. But when the ‘tired’ feeling came, I talked to myself "oh come on, those tsunami victims even still live in tents".. So, when finally i got a bedroom in 2nd floor that has big windows…-gak ada teralisnya- i really hope i won’t move to any new house anymore….the big window is the reason! I am so excited about it.
For most people, ritual pagi membuka jendela dan menghirup udara pagi mungkin biasa-biasa aja. But for me, it’s special thing that makes you want to thank God hundred times, and that’s even more when i’m here. How wonderful life would be, just to realize i’m alive and healthy…bisa liat pegunungan bukit barisan dan pohon-pohon kelapa dan langit Banda yang biru
Bisa ’satu level’ dengan burung-burung gereja yang berkicau, melompat, berbaris di kabel tiang listrik. Bisa sesekali mengamati tetangga sebelah yang selalu mencium anak isterinya sebelum pergi kerja… it’s interesting how i could watch these people around from the top, and they do not even realize it. So natural…Ada yang ngelamun, main dengan bayinya, ngelap-ngelap motornya.
From this window, gue bisa menghirup aroma kopi aceh yang menghablur dengan udara pagi, dari warung kopi tepat di seberang jendela ini. Watching si Bapak pemilik warung kopi melayani tamunya. Bapak yang pernah mengetuk-ngetuk pintu rumah gue untuk mengembalikan uang 50 ribuan -uang yang salah gue kasih untuk bayar kopi, yang gue kira uang seribuan-.
Lucky to have such honest & nice neighbor like him!
Oh, one more thing….This house i live surrounded by 2 elementary schools. So…one of the scenery that i love most is; watching those cute little kids walking towards their school….. barisan makhluk-makhluk kecil yang belum akil baliq dengan seragam putih merah dan tas ransel biru pembagian dari UNICEF . They write down their names on that UNICEF blue backpack, sometimes with a BIG size, to make a difference, because everyone at the schools wearing the same UNICEF blue backpack. Sometimes it seems that their body are too small for that bag…. bikin gue senyum-senyum sendiri ngeliatnya. Kasian campur geli…kok kecil banget udah sekolah siiih? Nggak bisa tunggu perbandingan dengan tas ransel nya mencapai 2,5 : 1 ? kalo sakit punggung gimana…? hihihi…menyenangkan…
Well, there is one other thing yang membuat gue tambah mempunyai efek emosional dengan si Jendela ini. Apalagi kalau bukan pemuda pujaan hati main gitar di bawah jendela dan menyatakan isi hatinya…(this is a lie. tentu saja tidak se-dangdut itu) Well, not much different from that story either… For some good reasons, me and this guy have agreed to not meet each other dalam rentang waktu yang belum disepakati dalam memorandum. Tapi bagaimanapun, when this guy doing such crazy thing just to look at me on my window, looking from that warung kopi and smiled and staring, that made my heart laugh and melt, made me want to jump over this window like a little child…
what a crazy thought.
I truly hope this window session will never end. I’m eager to see how colorful life would be, only by staring and looking something, someone, through this ‘emotional item’
benar juga kata orang, gue suka mengemotionalkan benda-benda mati. Termasuk handphone butut yang dipertahankan karena alasan emosional dan historis….untung bukan keris dan cincin akik.
