roman picisan ^^

ini kisah seorang teman yg (konon) jatuh cinta dgn temanku yg lain. ^^

dia tanya: “how do u know when u LIKE someone?” aku jwb: “biasanya aku jd gugup didekatnya, gagapku bs kambuh, i'm thinking of something smart to say and then nothing of'em comes out of my mouth.” dia tny lg: “how do u know when u LOVE someone?”(dia benar, kami sadar betul ada perbedaan besar antara 'suka' & 'cinta' .. dan dlm hal ini kami membatasi hanya pada partisipasi cinta antara lawan jenis) aku jwb: “i dunno, guess i never had one.. yet. once, i thought i've fallen in love but then it's gone. guess that doesn't count, does it? coz love stays.” trus dia blg: “i think i'm in love now.. and u're rite, love stays no matter what.” lho?! begini ceritanya..

(eh belum ding :-D) aku balik tny: “how do u know if u're in love now?” dia jwb: “i dunno, can't tell it. just know it.” sbg pemuja logika rasional tentu saja aku terusik, aku blg: “how come? if u can't explain it, it doesn't exist.” dia jwb: “but there are things that exist and can't be explained by our simple mind.” aku blg: “please don't bring any God-things in, let's keep it on earth :-D”

(fast forward)

aku blg: “tell me bout him.”

he's smart, at least he looks smart :-). that's what most matter for me. physically he's ok, not a look-model but ok :-D but somethings bothered me, we're quite a different kind of person. we argue a lot bout almost everything. and actually i don't always like his opinion. but i must admit i really enjoy our 'fight' :-) maybe because that's the only reason we can be together at that time.

(aku potong bentar.. saat ini kedua teman ini sdh tdk tinggal di bandung lagi. masing-masing bekerja di dua kota yg berbeda. meskipun demikian kami bertiga msh saling berhubungan dlm dunia maya)

i enjoy the time we spent together. we actually never had a romantic date. when we together, we usually just walk, or chat, or eat (i won't call it a 'dinner' coz we never had one :-)). we never saw a movie. he even rarely touched my hand, just when we sit in 'angkot' or cross the road (things like that when u naturally touch or hold one's arm). nothing u may diagnosed as a 'romantic stuff.' in fact, i believe noone will call us a lover :-D

but i know i miss him. i miss him a lot. i miss our argue, our fight. i miss when we disagree. like i've told u before, i know when i like someone, but i can't explain why i like or even love (?) him. that's why i call it LOVE :-D
