Hujan yang Terbawa oleh Angin I

Dia terduduk di atas kasurnya. Bantal, guling, boneka-boneka kecilnya melingkarinya yang dibungkus selimut tebal miliknya. Terdengar ketukan bunga dandelion tak bermahkota di jendela kamarnya. Langit gelap, medung tebal, lengkap dengan hujan deras terlihat dari korden yang tertutup separuh. Dia masih menulis sesuatu di buku hariannya. Matanya sembap, bekas menangis seharian. Dia sampai di kata terakhir dan menitikkan tanda baca titik penuh emosi, lalu melemparkan buku itu ke arah pintu.
Orang yang sedari tadi mengetuk pintu kamarnya dan tak dihiraukan memaksa masuk meski tak diijinkan. Anak laki-laki itu mengambil buku yang baru saja dilempar si gadis.
"Boleh kubaca novelmu yang belum selesai ini?" tanyanya sambil tersenyum.
Bila menenggelamkan diri dalam selimutnya, sampai hanya matanya yang nampak.
"Kamu marah, toh, La?" duduk bersimpuh di lantai sambil mulai membuka buku yang dipegangnya. Seketika Bila keluar dari benteng bonekanya, melompat, meraih bukunya. Arik terhenyak, terkejut ketika tiba-tiba Bila menyambar buku ditangannya. Dilihatnya Bila berdiri, memandang Arik dengan mata sayunya. Tangan Arik menepuk-nepuk lantai kosong di depannya, meminta Bila duduk. Bila melangkah manut, setelah meletakkan buku hariannya di bawah benteng bantal, selimut, dan bonekanya.
Arik memulai penebusan dosanya dengan meminta maaf. Suara hujan di luar benar-benar sirna tergantikan dengan pengakuan si jakung Arik . Mulutnya tak berhenti berkalimat, berparagraf, untuk menenangkan gadis manis di hadapannya itu. Kedua mata Bila beradu dengan mata Arik. Arik tak gugup sedikitpun, karena yang ia katakan semua benar. Kedua tangannya yang sibuk mendramatisasi kisahnya kemudian membeku. Kata-katanya terhenti, sementara hatinya kemudian berdegup cepat saat melihat Bila menangis. Hatinya tercekat, tak sanggup, lemah akan tangisan, bukan sembarang orang yang menangis, Bila.
Arik mengedarkan pandangannya ke langit-langit kamar Bila, menengadahkan tangannya, mencoba menangkap sesuatu. Tepat di atas kening Bila, ditelungkupkan kedua tangannya melindungi wajah Bila.
"Genting kamarmu bocor, La!" berusaha menghentikan tangisan Bila. Bila meraih tangan Arik, memperlihatkan wajahnya yang melas. Air matanya terus mengalir deras, seperti tersembur dari sumber air mata dari dalam hatinya.
"Aku ndak papa, kok, Rik!" sambil mengusap ingusnya, "pergi saja! Toh, kita ndak pernah akur selama ini."
Arik terdiam sendirian di kamar Bila, memandangi tempat tidur Bila yang berantakan. Dibayangkannya betapa nyamannya selimut hangat itu saat hujan lebat seperti saat ini. Arik hanya menelan ludah, berdiri, mungkin dia hanya perlu menuruti permintaan Bila.


Aku ini hujan baginya, hujan di hari cerahnya
Hujan yang menjauhkannya dari sang matahari, langit biru, serta kebahagiaannya
Padahal aku ingin juga menunjukkan padanya warna-warni pelangi yang kubuat,
untuknya.

Project II - Gotye - Somebody That I used to Know




"Somebody That I Used To Know"
(feat. Kimbra)

[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember


You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over



But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know



Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know



[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know



[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Project I - Josh Groban - Brave






Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.
Reach out, reach out before it fades away.
You will find the warmth when you surrender.
Smile into the fear and let it play.
Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.
Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.
And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.
You can’t hide forever from the thunder.
Look into the storm and feel the rain.
Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand uṗ and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
Go on, go on…
Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can’t be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause’ it’s all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don’t understand.
My reason to be brave.
