Stop by for a moment
My Birthday Day
Ever since Dimas came back out of town, he's been calling me very rarely. It's been 3 days now he's been lost somewhere. There was no chat I received.
"did he forget I was going to have a birthday?"
I have my 21st birthday in a week.
My mind was screwed, there was no sound of happy laughter as long as Dimas disappeared.
"where you? how are you doing? why did it suddenly disappear for no reason? what wrong? don't you know there's a longing that burns my heart?"
I don't understand everything that's going on. His attitude and nature suddenly changed, he acted cold, even going somewhere.
The days I spent in confusion, full of question marks.
Until finally tomorrow is my birthday. Is this my birthday without Dimas for the 4th time?
you where?
I always pray that God will protect you wherever you are. I'm here waiting for you Dim...
The clock shows at 21:00, I'll take a break to start my new day with a new age tomorrow.
When I fall asleep,
Mom and Dad came into my room and said happy birthday micelles,
"you have a special gift for you"
Dimas came from behind the door carrying a cake and sang me a happy bithday song.
"Happy birthday Miskel, happy birthday mike, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday mishel, happy birthday micel, happy birthday dear..."
I hurried up from my bed, then hugged Dimas who had disappeared for a few days.
"where have you been? I miss you." I said while crying.
Dimas softly replied,
"i'm in your heart, not going anywhere..."
Pay off my miss, answered my question. I'm happy tonight, because Dimas proposed to me.
"you're 21 years old, I don't think it's speed, you want to marry me?"
I cry so much, a lover who never gave news now appears with a ring that is dreamed by all women.
"I WANT" said I who was excited because he was hit by happiness.
It was a very beautiful night. Where my tears fall because of happiness, not because of sadness anymore. My room is back for me. It comes with a million apologies, it comes with a million affections.
I was officially engaged to Dimas 2 days after that night.
I was really happy that day.
We who have been in a relationship for many years, can finally get to the engagement now.
"i promise you, Mikel, I won't go, I won't leave you. I will always look after you, even though we still have to undergo LDR after I get back there. I love you"
I cried, heard Dimas say those words, witnessed by my parents and many people, I trusted him more and more, that Dimas was a good man, he can keep my trust when we are far away.
At 23:00 my engagement to Dimas was over. The Dimas family was ready to go home. Even at once saying goodbye because tomorrow already has to go back out of town to complete the unfinished report.
On that night, I fell asleep accompanied by happiness. Unlike usual, the tears that my friend every time I fall asleep.
It didn't feel like it was morning, I immediately got up and prepared to leave for college.
*phone sounds
"i'm leaving, baby, you're good here, I love you"
A short message from Dimas before he left.
"i'll keep missing here, waiting for you to come back"
I rushed to get ready to go to the campus riding my motorcycle, because the distance of the campus from my home is not too far, 1 hour if the road is jammed.
It feels like Dimas just left, I've been wanting to meet with the reason of missing again.
The point is now that I focus on completing my report, to get a quick graduation.
It was late afternoon, I just got home from college.
"today it doesn't feel like doing anything, but it's really tired" I said in my heart while heading to the sofa.
I did not feel I fell asleep on the couch awake Maghrib alone.
I immediately took a bath, and took ablution water to pray. And pray to God that Dimas is the only one for me, only for me.
"honey, what else? already eaten? I've arrived"
A short message I received from Dimas, which made me smile to myself.
That night I chatted with Dimas. There are a lot of things we talk about.
"i'm happy, you don't disappear again huh"
Those words represent how I felt that night.
