The Eye of Aska Time

The Power of the Eye

“Huaahhh,” I shouted as I stretched my muscles as I woke up.

The sun is not out yet, but the room lights have been turned on the same Mother. Yes I used to wake up in the morning about 15 minutes before dawn. Tell me what to do, make the boker first so that if on time the dawn adhan is not too late because of the boker.

My family has a hereditary culture of urination. Gini-gini since childhood after waking up was taught to go straight to the bathroom, this I do every morning. Arriving in the bathroom, mom locked the door and said “If you have finished e’nya later call mom ya!”

Do you know the song "wake up I keep showering?" Well, in my family waking up I kept boker. Ibuk always says “Not everyone can e'ek morning, so you must be able when others can't," said the mother as if to be a motivator.

The sun at my place rises at about 6 a.m. I always open some of my window curtains to let the light in. My room was facing East, and was directly pointed towards the Sun without any obstruction. The light that came in made my room alive. Sometimes if my morning is for me to open the window of the room and enjoy the morning air. Yes, although my house does not live in a village where the air must be seger, but the morning air for me always brings a new spirit.

It's Friday’at the last day I entered work this week. I took a deep breath, then hurried to clean my room and take a shower. When I finished, I opened the closet. Although my room is not very well organized, but my closet is not. I hung all my work clothes, while my shirt was stacked on the partition of the closet, so they weren't mixed up, in addition, my work clothes are sorted by day from Monday to Friday which order from left to right. While I put the pants on the top of the right. I don't have much choice about pants, just black and gray. Makes me feel like I never change my pants.

I accidentally looked towards the end of my desk. I remember when I saw my past, I was sitting there fighting with my ex. Now the table is empty, on it there are some pictures of me with my friends, my mother and father, and then there is a picture of me with Usy.

I walked over to my desk, looking at the pictures for a moment. Photos with friends and family tend to be formal, while photos of me with Usy are somewhat different. The photo is grided with a white background and there is a little flower decoration. There are 3 photos that are framed in black, at the top end there is a photo of Usy trying to cover his face with one hand, the photo is located in the middle and slightly closed the first photo is a picture of me with Usy who sits looking at each other with a smile, the last photo of me seen from behind.

After I look back I remember us who rarely perpetuate the moment together. We are also not photogenic people so our photos are not much style. I remember tomorrow I was going to meet with Usy, I remembered the flashback I saw when I looked at Usy's eyes. Well, let it be a mystery tomorrow.

After finishing a little nostalgic, I hurried off. I picked up the lunch box that my mother had prepared at the dinner table, greeted my parents, then started my motorbike and left.

About 15 minutes drive to the office. I have a habit of coming in the morning, maybe even too early in the morning. Work hours start at half 8, but I'm already at the office at half 7.

I opened the provisions prepared by the mother earlier while turning on my work computer. My subscription paper is also on the desk, but today I left first, because I want to enjoy breakfast while listening to folk music.

“Rechel again,” murmured me while opening my lunch box. Yes my fault, too, for rebuking breakfast other than pecel. If weaned breakfast yellow rice I always say “Udah finished circumcision kok breakfast is still yellow rice, pecel dong,” I think yellow rice is food for diving, hajad-an, or tumpengan. And since then I often prepare rice pecel for my breakfast. Its okay, I'm gobbling up that peceil rice.

Supplies run out when other employees flock in line in front of the attendance machine. Well, hmm at 7:15 it is rush hours queue already absent like a queue for disaster relief. That might also be my reason for leaving early so as not to feel the queue of absence early in the morning.

“Aska the diligent, has come computer already on,” ditap mas Felix when he entered the room.

“Hehe yes mas, usual breakfast first in the office,” I replied with a friendly smile.

Mas Felix also opened his usual lunch box he ate for lunch “I also dong today, wife again not cooking,” Mas Felix replied while ngipas-ngipas food “Eat, Ka.”

“Mana mas?”

“This, want you? Want me to flush the gravy?” the answer is a little bit.

I chuckled and continued my morning ritual, reading the newspaper.

Today the work went on as usual. Daily job checklists, contacting clients, and archiving files that fill my desk.

I don't think time has shown lunch. Because today mas Felix is not cooked his wife I so there is a meeting for lunch. We both had lunch at one of the pasture dishes near the office.

“Ya gaktau, abis fall want to sleep aja times,” I replied while devouring chicken pop.

“Lah pretend huh? I reported this to Mr. Langgas,” said mas Felix threatened while pointing at me using krupuk.

“Don't mas, my family threatened later”

Felix laughed, and we continued eating. Suddenly there was an insect stuck in the middle of my eyebrow. Mas Felix who realized it warned me, because of the difficulty to repel the insect I asked Felix for help so we looked at it long enough.

And “Whuuzzzhh.”

“Aduh,” I said while closing my eyes.

“Yes been blown doang already ouch, Ka,” complained mas Felix.

“Sorry-sorry mas,” I replied while flickering.

I saw it again, I saw Felix's past. I saw Felix when Junior High had been with his friend. I see, Felix mas. bedwetting and mengyplung ditch time scared-takutin, and I see mas Felix.nyebokin temennya who can not yet boker. My appetite disappeared instantly.

I finished my lunch and immediately paid for my meal. On the Road, I was thinking about how I could get into someone's past. I realized I could see it looking at each other for about 3 minutes.

I want to prove the truth of this power in my eyes. then I approached Felix mas while whispering “Yeah have never nyebokin who?”

Mas Felix was shocked, and summed me up “Ssttt, don't be hard, Ka.”

I tried to let go of her hand that shut my mouth. I sneakily slumped towards Felix, samhil looking at the ice Doger in front of the office gate.

"Ehemmmm seger tuh ice Doger," I said while coding Felix mas.

Felix finally confirmed what I asked for. We looked at it again for a moment. I tried my powers once again by having Felix look me in the eye.

"Well crazy ya you gua tell see your eyes for ity, bla bla bla bla" unconsciously when mas Felix ngomel us eye to eye, I can get into the memory of his past, I can get into the memory of his past, but soon I passed out. H

Because Felix thought I was sick from fainting, I was put to sleep in a bed and his cold AC, and then allowed to go home sooner. I came home at about 2pm, then I sat down at my study desk writing a note.

Now I know how to wear it, and I think it has its limits.Honestly after looking at people's past, my body hurts. My eyes felt heavy and heavy. That's why I always complain when I'm done looking at the past.

I recorded everything I needed to ask tomorrow. Close the book and cover Usy.

"Tomorrow?"
