Wood and Its Song

Malang, 15 Maret 2016

A little girl is wondering inside a labyrinth of trees. Wherever her sight goes, trees and bushes are everywhere. Skies can not help her to find the way out since the trees’ canopies cover them all. Blue skies turn into the dark night without its starry lights. And the real darkness nearly comes.

A little girl has already been tired of crying. She shouts for help but nothing happens. She is alone. She knows that. Yet, a little hope is still held by her. Her own world is out there. She has to find that another world. No matter what happens. It must be there. She ought to be there as soon as possible. She has been tired of this dull universe.

Blood is running from her knee. She falls down when she is startled and runs due to a tiny rabbit. She is shocked and terribly scared. She clutches her knees behind a big oak tree and begins to cry again. Once again, tears are coming down from her eyes. “Why does it happen to me?”, she said. “I just want to go to my own world. I just want to go home. I’m scared....” she cries. That little girl loses her hopes. She knows it’s futile to ask for help. None will listen to her. None will come to save her.

A tender and kind melody flows smoothly into the forest. Its sweetness sings along with the chirping birds. Trees are awake and the whole forest finds its light. A little girl uncovers her face from her hands and starts to listen to that beautiful symphony. At that moment, she feels it. Her burden becomes lighter. Her sorrow is fading away. Her hope is raising again.

She follows where that melody comes from. She walks and walks and tries to get closer to someone who plays it. She has no idea who it is. But she gets a feeling that she urges to meet that one. When she thinks she gets him already, he is nowhere to be found. She follows the song more carefully. She walks then runs to get it. She is tired. She nearly gives up. Then, she finds it over the light that blinds her. She is there in her world. She gets out of the woods. She is home. 

She is overwhelmed with joy. Finally, she gets what she has wanted all this time. She doesn't realize the song has stopped and the fact that she is there because of it. Looking how happy she is, he decides to go back to his shadow. Back to where he always looks after her. Without she realizes he is always there for her.

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 ...
