Lagi-lagi gue belajar bahwa sudut pandang tiap orang itu bisa berbeda. Mungkin buat 1 pihak, itu langkah yg baik, tp sangat mungkin di pihak lainnya, itu bunuh diri. Yaaahhh, begitulah kita, penuh bgt ama keunikannya masing-masing, penuh dengan pandangannya masing-masing. We have our own reason to do something, meanwhile the others have every reason not to. Sighhh…
Ceritanya gini, gue lg naik MRT dari Expo ke Tanah Merah, which is only one station. So I went inside the train, and looked around, looking for an empty seat. Waktu itu tempat duduk yg kosong ada beberapa sih emang, cuma disamping kiri-kanannya pada rame bawa koper, soalnya ini kereta emang abis dari Changi Airport. Males aja gue nyosor diantara mereka, “Dengan barang bawaan segitu banyak, bakalan ga nyaman kalo gue nyempil diantara mereka”, pikir gue.
Setelah liat-liat seat yg lain, ketemulah gue 1 seat kosong, di sebelahnya cuma babeh-babeh nenteng map doank. Legaan nih!!
Tp, seat itu reserved seat, yg biasanya selalu ada di kereta buat orang lg sakit, ibu hamil, ama manula. Secara next stop gue udah turun, dan kereta juga udah jalan, duduklah gue di reserved seat tadi. Tapi tiba-tiba, si babeh di sebelah gue nanya, “Don’t you know that this is a reserved seat??”.
I was pretty shocked.
At first, I feel amazed by this man, he has the courage to ask. People here, usually just don’t care with other people’s business. But after a few moment, I just feel annoyed, humiliated….errrhh…very unpleasant. Kesannya, berasa ga tau aturan bgt gue ditanyain gitu.
“Yes, I know”, jawab gue singkat. Anjrot, makin berasa ga tau aturan bgt gue, udah tau reserved seat masih aja didudukin. Ga mau dicap sperti itu, gue tambahin lg penjelasannya, “Look, next stop is my stop and we already on the way there, so there’ll be no new passengers who’ll need this seat. So yes, I sit on it!!”, jawab gue dengan senyum yg luar biasa dipaksakan.
Menurut gue, itu hitung-hitungan yg logis..
Betenya lg, ni babeh jawab, “Ya ya ya”, sambil buang muka ke samping, seolah-olah bilang, “Serah lo dah cui…lo mau ngejelasin ampe nungging juga gue mah bodoh amat. Nyang penting buat gue, lo duduk di reserved seat, artinya lo ga tau aturan…titik!!”.
Menurut dia, gue ga punya manner, karna dia aja yg udah tua memilih duduk di public seat, giliran gue yg gagah luar biasa malah selonong boy duduk di reserved seat.
Crap..kesel bgt gue ngeliat gaya dia ngomong “ya ya ya” td. Dude, seriously, even though I sit on public seat, when I see someone near me who need it more than I do, I’ll go to him/her and ask him/her to sit there. So don’t you dare making your own judgement on me just from that couple seconds…I’m not a jerk!!
*setelah 3 hari mikirin tulisan ini, gue sadar kalo gue juga sering prejudgement kaya’ yg dia lakuin.
rather be a poor woman living on the street,
no food to eat,
cause i don’t want no body if i have to cry.
cause it’s over
when you said goodbye!
all at once
i had it all
but it doesn’t mean anything
now that you’re gone
Lantunan Doesn’t Mean Anything by Alicia Keys sukses nemenin masa rileks gue di kantor sore ini. Mungkin karna gue tipikal setia, cukup satu lagu itu aja yg ada di playlist gue. Entah udah berapa kali Alicia Keys nyanyiin lagu itu di kuping gue, hmmm….spertinya dia butuh minum. Nah, berhubung ini lg santai, ga ada salahnya gue nulis sebait dua bait buah pikiran gue.
As you knew, I went back to Jakarta 2 weeks ago for 9 days. Cuti, refreshing, jalan-jalan, ketemu keluarga, melepas kangen, ketemu gebetan, whatever…call it as you want.
The next question is, why do we need to take our leave??
*ting ting ting*
May I have your attention please.
We are here to celebrate the marriage of our beloved friend, Gilang, with Ms. X…..Erm, I’m sorry Miss, I dont know your name. *big smile*
This guy, *pointing my finger to Gilang*, is an old friend of mine. Well, it’s all begin in 2003. I was very cute at the time. *emotionless face*. I just entered college. To me, I’m just a little boy from small village who about to start his big journey in a big city, very dramatic. In short, in New Student Orientation, I saw this man. *pointing my finger again to Gilang*. There he was, waiting for me in the corner, alone, like a cute lost little puppy, waving his tail to me. His eyes, that will make every heart melted, keep looking at me from a far, as like calling me to him. And then, I went to him and said, “Hi, I’m Riki, where’s your Mom??”. *my friend throws a glass at me*
