I just got a catch up with a friend recently. We rarely be in touch, but when it’s time, the universe just fit it onto the right path. She’s not just usual friend you bump in random day. She’s a the kind whom you can rely on when life showing the roughest part of it.

She showed up with her black wavy hair flow down to her shoulder. Pair of brown lenses covering her black sweet iris. She always use glasses before, then she choose to change the life for more perfective. Sat down on round table for two while seeking for comfort in the heat of Bogor these days.

We talked. Two cup of iced tea one with milk the other just pure. Two kind of salt bread, original and jasmine glazed. See the difference?

We talked a lot about life recently, our studies, job, family, friends stuff, and of course: love life. We’re not forgetting the politics and financial stuff Prabs bring into our country. Well, spend some time with your friend too, okay?

When the sun start leaning to the west and longing for moon, there’s a sentence just randomly said:

“I think, the reason I’ve never chosen is because I not ready for accepting or giving the same things”

Calmly. After sipping her tea, she put that face and said:

“It’s not about being ready. When you miss out something in past, that doesn’t mean you are not worthy nor unprepared. We learn new things each day, so you can also learn by understanding while working on it”

I don’t know what to says actually. The wind walking through people who got their stuff, freshly bake bread tickling my nerve. Some kids laughing, bird chirping, and us leaning to the chair while looking for something behind the sunset.
