See You Tonight

See You Tonight
Chapter 60: Scar



After I finished paying for the book, I immediately said goodbye to Cindy and immediately rushed home. I wonder about reading this kind of book, can I do poetry well afterwards? I don't know.

After I finished reading some of the poems in the book I had bought, I now sat down and faced the study table holding a pen and an empty notebook. Tonight, I was determined to finish the task of making the poem.


Not to forget, I made a cup of warm chocolate to accompany me to make a poem tonight. Even though I said so, until now I still can not determine the theme of the poetry that I will make now.


I began to imagine my past memories, both pleasant and sad. I closed both my eyes.


After pondering for a while, I finally managed to get an idea. I immediately began to write the first word of the first verse. Even though I've got an idea and I've started writing, but I still don't have an idea for the "title". So, I'll probably write my poem first until the end, only then will I give it a title.


...The Scars...


In a very large meadow, a,


I was standing alone in the middle of a dark night,


A strong wind pierced through my body, this,


As if carrying a cry that came from nowhere


The sound of crying suddenly became louder and louder


I also started to feel scared


I looked up, right at the moon that was right above my head


Even though it is only half, at least he can still be a friend sharing my pain


Like the month of October which saw the passing of September,


Like the wind that turns to dew, like,


Like a caterpillar that has turned into a butterfly,


The sound of crying that I heard through the wind earlier,


None other than the sound of my own cries that had gone past the dimensional boundary of space and time


I don't know how far he has traveled,


In the end, he came back to me


That scar that's dried up, that,


It doesn't hurt anymore, now,


Or maybe, I was just used to feeling the pain so I was numb and could no longer feel the pain,


I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now,


Clearly, I felt quite happy that at least my cry would not leave me again


I finally finished writing my poem. I don't know if my poem is good or not, which is clear I feel quite happy because I can finally write a poem until it's finished.


When I finished, I closed my notebook again. I turned off the room lights, and laid my body on the bed to get ready for bed.

This Saturday, the 20th of the 8th month, our 10-7th grade boys had planned to play futsal against the 10-9th grade at 16:00-17:00. There's still about 2 hours left until the game starts.


Right now, I am still at home while relaxing reading the poems that were in the book I bought the other day. Of the many poems, somehow I prefer poetry that is themed sadness or something like that. In my opinion, such a poem is very easy to touch the heart of the person who reads it. In fact, if the mood is not sad though.


The futsal match venue later in the afternoon is at BSC (Bintang Sport Center) which is about 5 km from my home. In addition to futsal, there is also a swimming pool, GYM, and tennis court.


I really welcome the enthusiasm of futsal later because I think it can hone my football playing skills. Maybe I can pick a few things from the futsal game later in the afternoon to apply in my football game in the following days.

The short hour hand has now pointed to the number 3 exactly, meaning it is about an hour away until the game starts. I was ready to go to the location immediately. Because the distance is quite far, I decided to use the bike only this time.


Because the house is empty, I immediately left without saying any greetings. My mother is currently still in the flower shop, and Hana (my sister) is currently taking piano lessons.


The weather this afternoon was quite cloudy and not very sunny. The wind was pretty cool when I started to shake my bike. This time, I went alone. Ahsan and Ruben seemed to be having some business first so we could not leave together.


I don't know how many people will come from my class. However, I hope everything can be present so that our relationship can become more familiar.


The streets this afternoon were quite crowded, I was pedaling my bike slowly.


This might be the first time I'm going to play futsal. When I was in Junior High, I thought I accepted a lot of calls to play futsal, but I always refused. Now I am the opposite of my old self. Now, I hope that all the boys in my class can come and play together. I think time passed so fast.


I finally got to the location after about 35 minutes of cycling. Because the road is a bit crowded, so it took a long time on the trip earlier. After finishing parking my bike, I then headed straight to the futsal field located in the rear corner of the building.


When I arrived at the futsal field area, I saw that there were already some children from my class already coming. The children who have come are Aji and Renaldi. It was Aji and Renaldi who arranged the match between the 10-7 and 10-9 classes on the afternoon today.


I went straight to where they were sitting. They were seen talking with a pretty serious face. I don't know what they're talking about.


After arriving at their seats, I sat down next to the two of them while getting ready to wear futsal equipment. I took my futsal shoes out of the bag. Since this is my first futsal game, I just bought it yesterday. As usual, Ruben and Ahsan were accompanying and assisting me in purchasing futsal equipment yesterday. About 20 minutes until the game starts.
