For: Jay
They were true when they said, “don’t dates man that shows you the whole city, because when you broke up, you will haunted by every corner of it.”
I certainly feel that. You are truly belong in Jakarta. I know there is a small crotiquette coffee shop in Rawamangun because of you. I know there is a mini cinema that premiering indie local movies in Kemang because of you. I know there’s a nice dimsum place in Kebayoran Lama because of you. And the lists are endless.
It’s hard to break the tie that I unconsciously made between us. I know your parents too well until they comfortable enough to called me “love.” I visited your house too frequent until your dog always wagging his tail everytime he sees me.

I never see Jakarta the same way ever again. I see you in every corner of it. I see us. I see the memories we happily made.
But, Jay, parting ways were never easy, right? I believe human made to have rebound. You had me at hello and I hope I taught you there’s good in goodbyes — even if it took us to be the example.
I hope you finally found someone that makes you forget about the tears you shed in Senayan.
(I will take care of Geon wholeheartedly, he’s kind of sad these days, maybe he knows his parents is divorced LOL jk)
