The moment I knew that I was brave enough to face him. I know that our reunion will be the most thrilling thing I’ve hardly done after years. In fact, I am still nervous, but the weather and this cafe are weirdly giving me a kind and warm feeling that I’ve never felt before.
Gue duduk di kursi yang letaknya lumayan berada di pojok, di samping jendela besar yang terbentang dari atap sampai lantai cafe memperlihatkan pemandangan jalanan dengan teriknya matahari siang ini.
Gue gak sabar.
Right after Sabil asked me out to meet up in this cafe which is not far from my home, I felt butterflies right after — more like an adrenaline rush that is still punching me up until now.
Secara gak sadar juga gue dateng 15 menit lebih awal, alih-alih datang tepat waktu dan melihat cowok tinggi itu udah duduk nungguin gue anteng di cafe ini. Yang ada gue malah pingin pipis hiii.
Gak lama gue mainin hape gue yang berisikan ucapan selamat — dan gak lupa gue ngucapin Karin karena udah keterima universitas dan jurusan yang dia damba-dambain dari lama itu. Mata gue terpaku pada satu cowok yang berjalan memasuki pintu masuk cafe tergesa-gesa kayak dikejar rentenir.
Masih gak ngelepas pandangan gue, cowok itu berjalan semakin dekat ke meja gue dengan napas yang berderu dan senyum sumringahnya yang udah lama banget gak gue liat. Rasanya jantung gue mau keluar dari kuping.
The sunlight dances of the leaves that make a shadow all over his face that makes his smile shines even more. It feels warm. His smile has not changed a lot over the years. Still the brightest smile of a kid that I’ve had always love to see when I found him behind the curtain back in elementary school. These nostalgic feelings, I wish it last forever.
Cowok itu duduk di hadapan gue dengan tatapan berbinar. Gue cuman bisa balas pakai senyuman terbaik gue.
Right when he was about to open his mouth, I know well what he was about to say.
“You found me kak, udah lama banget ya?”
It feels like I’m drown away in a milky way. I’ve never seen one but I’m in it my whole life. I’ve come to loving it.
the end.
