Al Kahfi Land - Time Travel
You'll Be My Halal Saturday Night
Al Kahfi Land, Depok, 2004 - Kosan Bodas, Bandung, 1999
Saturday's office is off, but for Widi she needs to be in the office, to escape the onslaught of questions about her solitude on Sunday night. Usually Widi fills the time by doing various old hobbies that only last year can be channeled, such as drawing, writing and music. Sometimes Widi also pleases herself outside the office, watching movies, jazz and theater performances, alone. Sometimes he also misses staying at Aunt Lina's house.
But this past Sunday night, he had gone nowhere as he waited for someone who quietly began to fill his heart, Uge. Cross-time chats have become a mandatory ritual for Widi and Uge, they fit in well with each other, equally infatuated with the world of architecture and jazz music, both comfortable venting to debate, forgetting about the time difference.
Uge repeatedly expressed his feelings and promised to meet Widi in 2004 to propose to her, but Widi always responded as a joke. Although Widi likes Uge, but he is realistic, he does not want to believe fully in a relationship that is not real, after all he can not forget the man like Erlangga who had proposed to him.
^Ge, are you Sunday night not bosen in kosan continue?ask Widi.
^Yes doain aja Wid, hopefully the business of finding capital for marriage is launched, so God willing we can have a halal weekly night in our homes, said Uge.
^Ge, I'm serious! Find a soul mate, gih! The contemporaries, proposed Widi.
^What a contemporary? Okay, I want to find you in 1999, said Uge.
^No need, from 99 to 2004, no man suddenly appeared talking about this crazy chat, hahaha, said Widi.
^But can we ever meet even though we do not know each other, you are the person like how the hell, Wid?ask Uge.
^Use imagination, you think women who study in the department of builders, what kind of form?ask Widi.
Widi directs Uge's imagination to imagine a female figure with a meter in the pouch, a reel of work drawings in the hand and a project helmet on the head, but suddenly the one that appears on Uge's head is instead the Goddess, maybe because the Goddess is the only woman who often eyed Andi in his ears.
^Definitely beautiful!^ Uge sahut.
^Basar less slang, once playing to another campus in Bandung, but not to the faculty of engineering again, ^ said Widi.
^Who said there are no beautiful girls who study engineering?^ Uge sahut.
^Who? Call it a pretty ITB kid? I'll know old-school ITB kids,^
^In addition to Goddess?ask Widi.
^Only the Goddess is in my head, replied Uge.
Widi was stunned, she knew many beautiful women in ITB besides Dewi, but why did Uge not want to call it as strict as the name of Dewi?
^Ge, do you have a crush on Dewi?ask Widi.
^Fancies? I know you don't, replied Uge.
^seriously?ask Widi.
^Widi, don't be jealous of the Goddess, dong. I indeed lack references to illustrate that there are indeed beautiful women who study engineering, said Uge.
^Uge, believe me, I support you to get a partner in your time! But not Goddess, I know you will not be able to, Widi said.
^Yes, my soul mate is Widi, ^ Uge said.
^Hard-headed!reply Widi.
