Home

Home is when we want to do nothing and it feels okay

Home is what gives us less trouble sleeping

Home is whom we miss when we were away

Home is why we don't need to worry

Home is wherever we are together. 

Bulan Ketujuh

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin.

Tidak ada satu pagi pun yang saya lewati tanpa merasa takjub, mendapati keajaiban tumbuh dalam tubuh saya. Perut saya yang kecil dan tipis - bahkan saya sendiri kerap menilainya ringkih - kini menopang massa sedikitnya tujuh kilogram setiap saat. Ototnya merenggang, nadi melebar, kulit menipis.

Ada tarian mungil dari dalam yang selalu mengingatkan: saya tidak sendirian. Entah itu di rumah, di jalan, bahkan di kamar mandi. Di subuh, di senja, atau di pukul dua malam. Kadang ia menggeliat kuat, pun sering menendang dan memukul aktif kala saya berbincang dengan bapaknya. Sepertinya tidak mau ketinggalan cerita.

Ia, adalah puisi kasih sayang yang dikirimkan Tuhan. Membacanya adalah menghirup kembali kehidupan, teka-teki, dan makna. Huruf-hurufnya kelak tumbuh menjadi cerita baru setiap harinya - kadang cerah kadang suram, tapi - apapun itu, ia adalah rekan setim kami di dunia dan setelahnya.

Selalulah sehat dan kuat dalam jalanmu menemui kami pada waktunya, Nak. Kami menunggumu dengan harap terluas kami, doa terdalam kami.

Kami mencintamu.

The man in front of the sea and his coming soon child :')

A Yearversary

Time flies
faster than we ever expected.

Thousand stories - just as colorful as thousand days,
are written differently each time we try
to understand, to respect, to keep the passion efflorescent,
to equalize, to fill the imperfection, or just to keep our own identity

After a year, we still need to throwback to that moment

and reminding how we, our families, and all the people that care

were doing their best to prepare our wedding,

because as we do - they have a lot of hopes for our happiness.

Okay, back to the present.

Sometimes,

it needs a hard work to figure out every single thing.

But, in case we haven't work that hard,

promise that we will try harder.

So happy 1st year of our new journey.

Let's keep struggling together.

And we've just learned.

Yet,

we're still learning.

We're just amateurs who should effortly try

to work it out.
