Lumayan lama juga tidak ketemu kamu
Haven't seen you in quite a while
Saya lupa kapan terakhir kali kami
bertemu. Rasanya sudah lama sekali.
I forgot when was the last
time we met. It felt like it was a long time ago.
Tugas bikin dia datang ke kantor
saya pada bulan Juli.
Duty
brought him to my office in July.
Kami tidak bisa mengobrol. Waktunya
terlalu singkat dan ada begitu banyak orang yang ingin ketemu dan bicara
dengannya. Walaupun dia ini teman saya tapi saya harus tahu diri, posisinya
membuat dia jadi semacam public figure di tempat kerja saya ini. Tidak apalah
kami tidak bisa mengobrol.
We
couldn't talk. There was little time and there were so many people wanted to
meet and talk to him. Though he is my friend but I had to step back, his
position has made him some sort of a public figure in my workplace. So it was
okay that we couldn't talk.
Tapi ketika saya mengantarnya sampai
ke pintu gerbang sewaktu dia akan pulang..
But
when I walked him to the gate shortly before he left..
"Datanglah ke rumah aku. Ada
kamar tamu jadi kamu bisa nginap" katanya.
"Come
to my house. There is a guest room so you can stay over" he said to me.
Saya berpikir sejenak. Ok lah. Sudah
lama juga saya tidak jalan sendiri dan rumahnya ada di daerah yang belum pernah
saya kunjungi jadi yah, naluri traveler saya tergugah..
I
gave it a quick thought. Ok. It's been quite a while since I went on my own and his
house is located in the part of the city that I have never been to so yeah, it moved my
traveler's instinct..
"Ok" jawab saya tanpa ragu
"Whatsapp aja kapan saya bisa ke sana dan tolong sekalian info rute dan
kendaraannya"
"Ok"
I said that without giving a second thought "Just whatsapp me the date and
please inform me the route and what vehicle should I take to get there"
"Beres" dia nyengir.
"Deal"
he grinned.

Maju terus pantang mundur
No time to chicken out
Ternyata baru bulan Oktober
kesepakatan itu bisa diwujudkan.
Turned
out the deal could be done in October.
Tadinya saya sempat mikir apa
jangan-jangan ga jadi karena tantangan juga rupanya buat mencari jadwal dimana
dia dan istrinya sama-sama ada waktu.
I
was wondering if the deal would be off because it was quite a challenge to find
the time when he and his wife have free time.
Ini juga judulnya rada maksa karena
kalau tidak gitu nanti bener-beneran tidak jadi.
I
was quite pushy on this because if not there was possibility that the deal
could really be off.
Jadwal sudah dibuat. Rute sudah
tahu. Baju sudah dipacking. Minggu siang.. gelooo.. hujan, bray??
The
scheduled was made. The route was set. Clothes were packed. Sunday afternoon..
wtf.. it rained, seriously??
Tapi masa mau dibatalin? Ah, maju terus
deh. Yang penting kan ga ada seribu juta topan badai..
What
then? Cancel it? No way. The important thing is there was no storms..
Mungkin kalau saya pakai kendaraan
pribadi, tidak sulitlah buat maju terus pantang mundur tapi ini saya pakai
kendaraan umum jadi godaan buat mundur ya ada banget.. hehe.. soalnya dingin-dingin
gini enakan pulang ke rumah dan bobo selimutan dari pada jalan menembus angin
dan hujan..
It
wouldn't be hard if I went there by my own vehicle but that was not the case as
I commuted by public transportation so there was the temptation to back off..
haha.. it would be nicer to go home in this kind of weather and stay in bed
under the warm blanket than to walk through the wind and the rain..
Untung memasuki Tangerang, hujannya
berhenti.
So
glad the rain stopped when I got at Tangerang.
Saya bukan hanya memikirkan angkot
yang harus saya ambil untuk menuju Gading Serpong karena teman saya lupa nomor
angkotnya, dia hanya menyebutkan warna angkotnya yang ternyata ada setidaknya
dua angkot lainnya yang warnanya persis sama tapi tujuannya beda.. nahhh..
I
was not just thinking about the vehicle I should take to Gading Serpong as my
friend forgot its number, he just informed me its color which turned out there
are two others that have same color but served different route.. o.. o..
Hal lain yang tidak terduga adalah
akibat dari kegoblokan saya. Dari Bogor harusnya saya beli tiket ke Tangerang.
Saya beli tiket ke stasiun Duri karena saya harus transit di situ untuk ganti
kereta yang menuju Tangerang.
Another
unexpected thing occured as the result of my stupidity. I should have bought
train ticket to Tangerang. I bought the ticket to Duri train station because I
had to make a transit there as I had to change train from there to Tangerang.
Akibatnya ya uang jaminan kartu
tiket sebesar sepuluh ribu hangus sebagai denda. Petugasnya menyesalkan hal ini
tapi buat saya yang sempat deg-degan karena mengira dendanya lebih besar,
jumlah segitu tidak saya persoalkan.
The
consequence is my card ticket guarantee money of ten thousand rupiah was taken
away as a fine. The officer regretted it while I was glad it was not as much as
I feared.
Sudahlah.. dibawa enjoy aja.. ini
kan jalan-jalan.
Come
on.. go easy with it.. beside this is a traveling, enjoy it.

Ladies' night
Turun di Gading Serpong,
menyeberang, ambil angkot lain menuju SMS (Sumarecon Mall Serpong).. akhirnya
sampailah saya di tempat yang kami sepakati untuk ketemu.
I
got off at Gading Serpong, crossed the street, took another vehicle to SMS
(Sumarecon Mall Serpong).. I finally arrived at our meeting spot.
Sayangnya teman saya ada tugas
mendadak sore itu sehingga tidak bisa menemui saya di sana. Yang datang adalah
istrinya.
Unfortunately an unexpected afternoon duty made my friend unable to meet me there. It was his
wife who came.
@Sumarecon Mall Serpong. Waiting for Lina to come |
Two
years ago Lina and I met for the first time before they got married. We had no
chance to get to know each other as we met briefly and she was quiet.
Tapi sore itu ketika kami bertemu..
saya merasa seperti bertemu dengan Lina yang baru. Dia lucu, ramah, terbuka,
bawel dan kami langsung nyambung.
But
when we met that afternoon.. I felt like I met the new Lina. She was funny,
friendly, open, chatty and we just clicked.
Jujur saja, awalnya saya agak
khawatir karena tidak semua perempuan dapat menerima teman suaminya.. apalagi
kalau teman itu berjenis kelamin perempuan.
To
be honest, I was a bit worry because not all woman can accept her husband's
friend.. especially if that friend happens to be a woman too.
Jadi asyik juga nih saya punya ada satu lagi teman cowok yang istrinya bisa jadi teman saya juga.
So
it's pretty cool that I have another male friends whose wife can be made as my
friend too.
Sore dan malam itu jadi malam
panjang untuk saya dan Lina. Kami makan malam bareng. Putar-putar mall. Fotoan.
Beli baju. Saya tidak yakin teman saya bakal betah kalau dia ikut.. hehe..
cowok mana betah diajak muterin mall apalagi nungguin cewek lihat-lihat baju.
I forgot what this dish's name but it tasted so yummy |
The
evening and night belong to me and Lina. We had dinner together. We looked
around the mall. Took pictures. Bought dresses. I am not sure my friend would
like it if he came along.. haha.. men are just not into it especially not if he
must escort the ladies go dress shopping.
* * * * *
Begitu banyak yang berubah
So many changes
Kami hanya terpisah dua tahun dan
begitu banyak yang berubah.
It's
been just two years that we haven't seen each other and so many things have
changed.
Saya melihat perubahan dalam diri
Lina.
I
saw the change in Lina.
Lalu malamnya teman saya pulang dan
saya melihat ada banyak perubahan dalam dirinya.
My
friend got home at night and I saw many changes in him too.
Tapi kemudian saya perhatikan diri
saya sendiri. Saya juga berubah. Saya lebih pede, lebih sabar, lebih peka,
lebih terbuka, lebih banyak kepahitan tapi juga ada banyak kebahagiaan.
But
then I looked at myself. I too have changed. I have more confident, more
patience, more sensitive, more open, more bitter but also have more happiness.
Kami seperti orang-orang lama tapi
juga baru pada saat yang bersamaan.
We
were just like our old selves yet we're also new people at the same time.
Dalam kasus kami, perubahan ini
menguntungkan kami karena buat saya rasanya sekarang ini kami adalah
orang-orang dewasa. Kami didewasakan oleh berbagai peristiwa.
In
our case, this change benefit us because to me it feels we are adults now. Many
things have matured us.

Tembok-tembok ini mempunyai mata dan
telinga
These walls have eyes and ears
Saya dan teman saya mengobrol dari
jam sepuluh malam sampai jam setengah satu.
Me
and my friend talked from ten pm to half past one am.
Lina tidur lebih dulu karena terlalu
capek dan besok pagi dia harus berangkat subuh ke kantornya.
Lina
went to bed early as she was too tired and she had to leave early for work.
Ada begitu banyak hal yang ingin
saya dan teman saya bicarakan.
There
were so many things my friend and I wanted to talk.
Saya pun merasa dapat bicara
sebebas-bebasnya. Dia seorang teman yang bisa saya percaya dan dia punya
pemikiran yang luas.
I
felt I could talk freely. He is a friend that I can trust and he has a broad
mind.
Setelah berbulan-bulan berada di
tempat dimana tembok-temboknya memiliki mata dan telinga.. tidak hanya melatih
saya untuk bisa tutup mulut tapi membuka mata dan telinga tapi juga untuk bisa
bersandiwara dan pada akhirnya cenderung untuk tidak mempercayai seorang pun
(hanya tersisa kira-kira tiga orang yang bisa saya percayai disana).
After
spending months in a place where the walls have eyes and ears.. not only it
trained me to close my mouth and open my eyes and ears but also to be able to
act and at the end tend not to trust anyone (it left about just three people
whom I can really trust in there).
Jauh dari mata yang selalu mengawasi
dan mengintai dengan niat hati yang patut diwaspadai..
Far
away from the ever present of watching and prying eyes along with the heart that
needed to be cautious of..
Tidak ada telinga-telinga yang siap
menangkap ucapan paling naif dan menggunakannya untuk memukul saya..
There
were no ears that ready to get the most innocous words and use them to hit me..
Jauh dari tempat yang sangat membutuhkan
saya tapi juga tidak menghargai saya.
Far
away from the place that needs me so much but also leaves me unappreciated.
Jauh dari mereka yang selalu siap
menghakimi saya.
Far
away from those who are quick to judge me.
Selain orang tua saya, Andre dan murid-murid saya, cuma segelintir orang yang
bisa membuat saya merasa bisa sepenuhnya menjadi diri saya sendiri.
Apart
from my parents, Andre and my students, only few can make me feel I can be completely myself.
Malam itu teman saya membiarkan diri
saya menjadi diri saya sendiri.
That
night my friend let me to be me.
* * * * *
Saya pikir saya bakal susah bangun.
Hampir jam satu pagi saya baru bisa tidur. Untungnya badan saya sudah terbiasa
bangun jam setengah enam jadi biarpun mata saya sepat tapi badan saya sudah
bangun jam segitu dan langsung on.
I
thought I couldn't get up on time. It was nearly one am when I could finally
sleep. Good thing my body is used to wake up at five thirty so though my eyes
were heavy but my body has alerted and just functioned.
Lina sudah berangkat dari jam lima
sehingga kami tidak sempat ketemu.
Lina
has left since five am so we didn't get the chance to meet.
Teman saya masih punya waktu untuk
sarapan bareng saya.
My
friend had time to have breakfast with me.
Kami berpisah di tempat mie itu karena dia ada tugas dan jadilah saya berputar-putar sendiri di sekitar
mall itu sebelum pulang.
there's a coffee shop nearby that sells coffee from many regions in Indonesia |
We splitted at that noodle vendor because he had to go on duty and so I
took a quick tour by myself around the mall before I went home.
Kami telah berencana untuk bertemu
lagi.
We have planned to meet again.
