Dark Puzzle

Malang, 02 Mei 2015

Have you ever felt that something is missing but you never know what it is? It feels like you miss a very important piece of puzzle which can complete your life. You try to find it in every place you can think of but you can’t get it. You try to figure it out but your memories are hazy. You are confused. You are uncertain. At the end, you don’t know anything.

One significant part of me is missing. The saddest thing is I don’t even know what it is. I have my own life. I enjoy every second that I spend doing my job. I feel so grateful for every coin that I own from it. I love laughing with my friends and my co-workers. I’m so happy when I can share my happiness with my family especially my parents. Everything seems perfect. Every single thing is flawless. But still, I feel like I miss something necessary.

I was walking down the street to my house when I thought about it. Day by day that feeling started to torture me. Especially at a cold night like this, that was the worst time to think about something which is still a mystery. If only finding the answer is as easy as turning on the lamppost, everything would be perfect. What an impossible thought! I’ve even never done turning on a lamppost before. Just because I pass those lampposts twice in a day, I think it is easy? How can I judge such a matter?

Of course it is!

I stopped walking when I heard that voice, a girl’s voice. I was sure that I heard something. But I also realized that I was the only one there. Only night creatures which sang the night melody beautifully accompanied me.  My surroundings seemed blur. Darkness engulfed them completely. Only lampposts gave me dim light to see my way home. Nothing soundly was there.

Are you sure? Don’t you want to find your last puzzle?

That voice again! Now, it gave me extreme goosebumps. I tried to look every direction and find where the voice came from. It was useless. The night completely covered everything. I didn’t see and find a person who said that. I walked quickly to my home. Faster and faster, until I saw the door 2 meters from me.

Don’t be afraid! I can help you!

“Who is there? What do you want from me?” I shouted aloud. I could hear my heartbeat went faster than before. Sweat came covering my face. My hands trembled in fear.

What I want? I just want to unlock the secret. Your secret!

Suddenly but slowly, something black came from the darkness. It was crawling faster when it came near me.  My body felt numb. I couldn’t move. It crawled and crawled until it finally reached my feet.

“Rio, what are you doing in front of the door? Come in, it’s already late.”

I saw my mother by the door. I didn’t know why but seeing her made me felt relieved. I looked at my feet, that black thing dissappeared like never exist. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

“Are you okay? You looked terrible and pale.”
“Well, I’m just too tired. Today was a busy and strange day.”
“Come on, your father already waited for you.”

I came in my house. When I was inside, I couldn’t believe everything that I’ve had outside. Was it just a dream?

“Rio, did you just talk to someone outside? I heard you voice.”
I looked at Mom and tried to find a logical reason. “No Mom. I just tried to sing a song lyrics.”
“Well, I don’t know that you like singing.” My mom giggled.
“Yeah, I just found that my new hobby is interesting and relaxing.”
“ And what happened to you shoes. What is that black thing?”

I was surprised finding that black thing sticked on my shoes.
“It is a mud, I think. Well, I just passed a road which is full of mud.” I tried to sound normal eventhough I wasn’t sure my mother would believe it.
“You need to clean it. It looked as terrible as you!”
“Okay, yeah I must do it.”

No, it wasn’t a dream. It really happened. But what was that black thing? Whose voice was it? Unlock my secret, what was that supposed to mean? I couldn’t think any possible reason behind it. I tried to figure it out but it only made me more tired. I laid my body on my bed. Mysterious Voice. Unlimited Darkness. Those things really tired me out. I felt my head was very heavy. Not long, I fell asleep. That was a very deep sleep without a dream. Even in sleep, I could hear that voice again.

I can help you finding your last puzzle. Your biggest secret.

Ceritaku di Bandara Juanda #KKN

Malang, 24 Agustus 2013 Mungkin apa yang aku ceritakan di sini menjadi pengalamanku yang pertama dan terakhir. Sebulan lamanya aku berada di tempat itu. Selama itu pula banyak hal-hal baru yang ku hadapi. Ya, pengalaman KKN atau bisa dibilang pengalaman magangku di Bandar Udara Internasional Juanda menjadi satu kenangan tak terlupakan yang ku alami tahun ini. Siapa yang menyangka mendapat kesempatan magang di Bandara Juanda akan membuka mataku seperti apa dunia lain itu. Hari Senin tanggal 01 Juli 2013, secara resmi aku telah masuk ke dunia kerja bersama dengan teman-temanku yang lain. Gedung Angkasa Pura I Bandara Juanda menjadi saksi bisu perjuangan kami menyelesaikan mata kuliah KKN. Awalnya nervous saat berada di gedung itu untuk pertama kalinya. Takut jika aku akan melakukan kesalahan di hari pertama. Tetapi saat berada di sana, takjub juga rasanya. Hari itu untuk pertama kalinya aku melihat deretan-deretan pesawat besar yang parkir di gedung AOB. Yea,,,that was my first ...
