The Battle Between Apple and Pear

2013.10.27

Jadi setelah main gitar, nge shisa itu gw minjemin buku, Yang ga dibaca. Selesai minjemin buku mulai sering kontekan kami.Ditambah waktu itu lagi hype bocoran apk BBM for android, dalam rangka menguji coba BBM tersebut gw harus nyari kontakBBM juga. Kebetulan bagudung itu pengguna BBM aktif, dapatlah gw kontaknya dengan alasan mau tes BBM for android.

Selain minjemin buku, gitar gw nyusul juga ke kamarnya dia. I think everyone will agree that a girl that hold a guitar will get more beauty, inner and outer. Gitar putih gw titipin sekaligus gw kasih semacam cheat sheet main gitar biar keliatan pro.halah. But i will write that in another title, not on this one.

Makin seringlah gw berkomunikasi sama bagudung. Bahkan mungkin sampai lupa waktu. Well, the day feel short just to watch my phone. Sebisa mungkin notif dikencengin dikit, biar bisa fast response, tapi juga ga mengganggu kinerja di kantor.

"00.00"

Tanda penunjuk pergantian hari itu seringkali melintasi perbincangan kami. Tidak hanya muncul dalam notification bar di pojok kanan atas layar hp, melainkan seringkali terkirim dalam teks.Meskipun demikian terkadang ketika bangun pagi justru terasa lebih bugar dari biasanya, lebih fresh. And this one too will be written in another title , there's alot to tell than what it seem.

The title i used here is The Battle Between Apple and Pear, and that just not random word. There's an actual pear and apple involved in this story.

Selain ketika pertama kali main gitar dikamar gw, setelah beberapa kali juga setelah makin sering berkomunikasi via teks - Oh well, this article is not ideal, "setelah" is overused and overabused here, bad writter!, bad writter! - bagudung sempet menengok interior kamar gw. Lemari di pojok, ada kasur di deket pintu, weight scaller - pls don't judge - , dua biji gitar diatas lantai yang cukup dingin, lalu ada meja deket jendela - this one is my fav.

Di atas meja nampak semangkuk buah menemani laptop beserta dokumen dokumen gw, ga lupa speker kecil gw. lovely.

A bowl of fruit, what's so special about that? every grownup man have that?
Well, my friend, that is not some usual fruit. That's a big fruit sitting in the bowl. A big apple.

That's what i think back then. After suddenly bagudung ask me what kind of fruit is that? Golden-ish, Enormous, and look like a ball.

"An apple of course, every kid know that", i said.

But she seem not too sure about that. So, in order to make that clear i gave her one. I said that she seem a bit lack of nutrient to me, so take this one and taste it. And you will believe that that thing is an apple, a big one, and a yellow one.

So she take it, and just like her usual, she still dont believe that that thing is an apple, but she refuse to argue that in order to make a good interaction. She seem knowing me too well for a just-met girl.

A days go by, the text getting more complex and suddenly came out ideas to take her out. Well, it's not like a date, obviously not. What kind of man bring his woman to a book store in a first date?

So it's sunday and it's free. I take bagudung out to the Gramedia book store, the largest and the only one book store in our place.

She pick some of the religious book. I just take alook since i dont have a buy list. Suddenly a wild book appear. A book that has our friend name written big in it's cover. She told me and then we are laughing so hard. She take a picture of it, and sent it to our friend.




At around 10.00Am we are going back. Well, nice one i guess.

Later that night, she send me a picture. of what? Of her being in a dep store, holding a fruit. a big one. and a yellow one. I guest you all know what that is right?

She intentionally show the label. And it's shows Golden Pear.

Well. what can i say. It's a real proof out there she got. But that's not me, that's not my answer to her. Ashamed and ego blinded i say that maybe the dep store staff misplace the label or the fruit.

And she laugh. I laugh too, in my heart.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S i still believe that is an apple, a big one, and a yellow one. you will see.

SLO 2016.3.3 5.21PM. waiting an azan.. woohoo.. the class is canceled due to the teacher daughters are sick. Get well kid. You, yes you are! hope u smile right now after reading this silly article. Here, catch that... you know what is taht? that is an apple for sure. :)

It's pre started with a book - The thick one

2013.9.23

 Well, i can't remember the date but the date on the image shows that, and i'm not pretty sure. The chronological order seems a little bit off to me. But hey, that's an unquestionable proof. So maybe my mind is just starting to falling apart. Maybe. Probably

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's five days after the book came. Like usual, i always finish a thick book less than 3 days. It will get quicker if the book is interesting. The book came before my 2nd/ 3rd trip on Interim Audit. So in order to maintain my focus and to complete my curious i bring the book to my office.

And just like that, an order to lend my book come from some of my friend. So i say that i will lend it only after i complete it.

In the parking lot, i always waste my time smoking there. But this time different, smoking and reading this time. Haha.. some of my senior impressed by how thick the book was.

And then she came. It's funny how i can't concentrate right when she's around. And we talk, just like a stranger talk. I'm not so close that time. And i don't hang around with girl easyly, and so she dominte our conversation.

We talked about alot of thing, but especially is about our office. How our bosses solve the problem and how their judgement seems like only good for him is a never ending topic.

And somehow she said.

"can i borrow that book, that book seem interesting enough to me"

Oh wow, i never expected that request.

She replied.

"what's it all about again?"

And so i tell it passionately. Maybe it the first time i dominate the conversation. Like a children with his new toys, i tell everything about it. Passionately.

The dumbest thing is, i don't remember i answer the first question. Haha.. what a bunch of a kid i am. And of course i'm getting more passionately to finish that book.

Later that day, i finish that book and tell her without hesitant. She replied.

"maybe you can bring that book to my boarding house tonight, you know which room im at right?"

Yes, i can. You stay at room 18 right?

"Yep, come in the early night will you?

Ok. And just like that. That's how i interacted with her. Straight.

Later that night, i went to her boarding house. It's about 7.00PM, and i think that's early enough. When i arrived at her place, i knocked at her door, no answer. Knock again and no answer. I called her and still no response. Maybe she's in the bathroom so she can't answer me i guess. I texted her.

Still no response from her.

Not so lucky do you? my mind mocking me. 

And just in my desperate time whether to go home or waiting for her, my friend that lives next to her saw me. He said that she's going to dinner with her friend.

Nah, Today was not your day bro. My mind mocking me again.

I entrusted my book to my friend. And said that get the book to her as soon as she's back.

So i come home with empty feeling and empty hand of course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some day after that, she lend the book to my friend. I'm pretty sure she's not reading it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some month after that she admit that that book is not her kind of book. Ouch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some years after that she said that.... maybe i'll keep this one to myself.

Smokey Nite - Not so Young and not so Wild

2013.10.21
There's always first time with everything.

That day i was so exhausted. My office seems doesn't care with that. And So i looking for an entertainment to freshen up my day.

I ate my dinner alone, like always i usually buy a take away food. Seems lonely? well i don't refuse that. So after finishing my dinner, i texted my friends, and i said that maybe we need to try something new.

So we agree to trying a new kind of smoke. Shisa. Yep, that's an arabian kind of thing.

We went to the city main square, that's the place that sometime in the night the shisa seller sell their thing. What i don't know at that time is that bagudung went too.

Well it might be awkward since that kind of thing is not women kind of thing.

So we try one shisa, i forgot how much back then. I sit between my friends. And Bagudung sit next to one of my friend. My friend taste it first. And said it was not bad. Nad so i try it.

Wooooooah. It's different from regular smoke. The taste is fruit taste. Felt fresh to me. And after i try, bagudung want to try it.

I was thinking. Not the shisa thing of course. But the mouthpiece. Well, shisa is using a barrel that has fire in the bottom and a tube to draw the smoke and a mouthpiece. But nevermind, maybe i just overthinking.

So she try it. And feel it. Her expression is just plain. Well, i don't blame her. Afterall this thing is not women kind of thing. And after she use it she passed it to me.

Wo wo wo.. hold it. Is is just me or... Nah. I use the shisa after she use it.

 It felt different, Obviously.

 And so we use that shisa a certain times. And somehow my friend want to go to the bathroom. So he go to the bathroom. After he left, there's an empty space between me and bagudung. And so we get closer.

We spent half night there, smoking shisa. But it was not just a shisa for me. It's a different feeling for me.

Maybe only for me, the mr. Overthinking
