goodnight and go // imogen heap
[but I don't wanna fall...]
since two days ago, I've learnt to expand my boundaries. I've got loads of work at the office. Feels like banging my head and expect it to work more properly than having a stop for a breakdown. Because there's a huge mistake in timing, I spent the day before my birthday, wandering around Jakarta in a heavy-Friday-traffic. I had an option to bail out of the situation, but I choose to stuck and keep a friend of mine, accompanied. Turned out, my decision wasn't good enough. I made others awfully upset. I actually bust ass for someone else's lover, but neglected my own. And if that's not enough to give you one of those multiple-solution-to-think-to-save-a-day thing.. [wow, that's long], in the end of the day, right about 3min before my birthday, dia bilang klo gw ngejalanin semuanya setengah2.. [ouchhh]. So on my birthday, after feeling happy for having him as the first person who said 'happy birthday,' I cried.
not many people remembered my birthday this year like the last one. Fewer phone calls, fewer text message, and definitely fewer emails or testimonials on fs. I don't mind. I don't feel so great about it anyway. I am thankful and absolutely feel blessed having another year knowing that my God has been so great, loving unconditionally, and all and all beautiful to me; I really do.
anyway, later that afternoon, he picked me up and took me to dinner. I forgive him completely. My patience and love expanded. Just like yesterday when I have to accompanied andini with batur's business. I cant get more upset any longer. It expanded. My patience for the situation expanded. So this day, it happened again. I was having a wonderful time that day. He even gave me a birthday present: bahan kebaya!!! 4 long pieces!!! I was so happy, until we went back to his house and started to watch DVD. Then, it happened. I cried. I was furious. I was shaking and sobbing at the same time. Nothing big really [or does it?!] but the impact to me was tremendously traumatic. Somehow, it brings me back to how men can be so self-centered, pushy, taking advantage over me, and so on. I was totally mad, to him and myself. I felt disappointed. I felt harassed. I felt cheap. I felt alone and scared. I was [at that point of time] lost.
but something happened when he took me home full of regret. One more time, it expanded. I realize that it wasn't because his look or his action that tried to show me how much he regretted it, nor of anything nice and loving that he tried to tell me. I forgive him completely merely because of my own decision. My own thinking. I love him, I care for him, and what I have for him eliminate every negative thoughts I had earlier. Frankly, I'm still scared and more cautious, but generally, I'm getting over it. Mom was right, when you love someone. You love them completely, as in whole. You give without thinking of getting it back. "kasih hapuskan pelanggaran." the bible is right. The law of love does work, yesterday today and tomorrow.
today, he told me about the whole new project thing more detailed. Looks like not only he has to go to bengkulu, but perhaps Sydney as well. He asked me, if I want to go with him.
[dramatic pause]
I'm speechless. My mind goes back to what mas widy once said. About what my mom wants. About the dream of going abroad. I don't know how to connect the whole dots. If I do, does it gives me a good picture of what gonna happen in the future? I have no idea. I don't even know I'm ready to even think about it. And how about my mom?! I'm totally confused. This is too much for me. I guess, until now, not me nor my mom is ready for these kinds of things.
I don't know what to think, what to hoped, what to say, what to do...
so many turns, so many ups and downs, bahkan melintirnya pun juga ada. So many tracks to choose.
these three days have been quite a ride.
