Beating Back
presence of your figure
Siti Nurbaya Bridge is a tourist icon of Padang City has its own charm at night. The bridge that stretches over the Batang Arau River has an interesting history. Every day this bridge is visited by many visitors, either from the surrounding community or from outside the area. They come with the aim to enjoy the view of the hill row served from the top of the bridge. Even in the late afternoon, Siti Nurbaya Bridge presents the sparkling charm of the lights of the village under the river. The sparkling glow gained from the street lights around the bridge adds to the romantic atmosphere at nightfall.
There, on the bridge I was one of the many people who came. I stood while enjoying the lights and stars scattered in the sky. In the crowd I still feel lonely with the cold night wind. I opened the book while writing verse by verse my feelings.
"The book pile
Dusty, Dirty, Torn, And Faded Writings
I reminded myself again
It's not all the same anymore
No longer organized, no longer clear, and no longer clean
A cool morning dew in the countryside
The fallen leaves
It is no longer the same
Trees began to be absent
The heat starts to burn
And now the story is no longer the same
I reminded myself again
That everything has changed
That it turns out that the cold one used to be hot smouldering
And the neat ones are out of place
The feeling is so
A little bit but a lot of disappointment
A little misses but tries to forget
By losing whatever is hope
The leaves also fall with the remaining wish grains
That's how he reminds me.
I limit myself to every relationship over love. I went hand in hand with love and hate.I made a relationship with one and removed the bond with the other. That's how I hate a void in me. I stared at the beautiful night sky but still felt empty.
"I hate this unfair world"
"i hate to know you and I'm sorry I loved you"
I condemn all the relationships I have ever had, because love cannot match hate.
At the same time the man walked up to me and then stood right beside me. It turned out that he was watching me. He gave me a poem
"The emptiness created in the feeling that envelops you is your fault.
Relationships you cannot decide just because you are disappointed.
And regret after loving her is a lie because on the basis you still love her right?.
Have you never asked what is the reason behind your disappointment?
Then can you assume that your disappointment is because of it?"
In between the words he spoke made me look at him.
who would this man dare to criticize me? my inner
, Then plan to leave without a word but before I leave him the man said "at least do not curse the world because of what you are going through, not only you who feel pain, not only you who feel pain, the world is full of surprises and maybe one day you will get those surprises" she said the word with her cold face.
"whoever has the right to lecture me" as he went.
the man just stared at the back that was getting away.
On the way, the man continued to ring as if everything he said had completely slapped me. Every time I saw a star in the sky. I always remember what the man said that night, what kind of figure was he? my inner.
