A Complete, Strange Day
February 17th, 2011.
A total strange day to be passed. Started the day by my usual load of sleep, skipped one class lecture because of my pathetic inability to wake up. Went to campus to attend the second class, and mostly to interact with people.
I did some talk with the boys. Most of them were jokes, like always, but there were some serious ones too. We talked about Da Vinci, holocaust, social life, BlackBerry, history, even religion and God. It's always fun to have random conversations. The kind of conversations that could give you knowledge you're too lazy to find in books.
And then I spent the afternoon with some other people. Another chit-chat; purely jokes and pranks. Not as fun as the one before. Not too comfortable either.
It was a crazy-hot afternoon, the sun was shining and grilling at a time. But miraculously, there came a downpour. The sun and the rain got along. I was praying for the rainbow to come but it didn't. No problem, because then the rain was pouring even harder, which I love.
A friend of mine invited me to play under it. Without much consideration I said OF COURSE.
Four girls; C R A & G, four different struggles and problems, under the rain. Barefooted.
That was a lot of fun, a lot of hidden tears, a lot of 'ouch'es from stepping on sharp tiny rocks. That was my idea of balance; the earth under your feet, sky above your head, water all over your body, pain and joy in your body and soul, friends around you. Everything goes like it should.
And then I ended the downpour journey at F's place. M was there too. They then took me back into the campus to drop G and to take the stuffs we left there; shoes, bags, cellphones. I saw Handsome. I was all wet, dirty, smelled like rain, and looked like I had the storm electrocuted me. And he was sitting there, famous and awesome, silly and hideous, close yet far. Reminded me never to try to flirt with him because he deserves better. He's on the list of people whom I adore so bad that I don't dare to touch.
We went back to F's place after that. I handed R's stuffs so she could left to her place to take a bath. The rest of us listened to C's problem. We gave her suggestions as good as we can. Twilight. C and M left home, F took a bath, and I played a game on his computer.
Later that night R came back. She brought me some dry clothes to change to and told us that one of our seniors is offering to treat us dinner. C couldn't come, she was handling her problem. M is gonna join us after he picked her cousin up so the three of us went first.
Really enjoyed the dinner. It was delicious and free. In other words, it was adorable. M and his cousin joined us. Then we heard from C that her problem was finished the way she want. We were so stuffed and happy.
I then spent the rest of the night with M, M's cousin and F at someplace. Enjoyed strawberry sisha and our silly talks.
I looked at the sky, and the moon had halo.
It came to my mind how wonderful the name is. Halo. It's what we Indonesian say when we greet people. I don't know why they name the moon-ring Halo but it just feels right.
It's like the moon is greeting us all.
That's why I say it was a strange day. That day had me smiling to see the sun and the rain showing up together. The day had me barefooted under the rain. The day had me at Halo.
It was strange. But it was also complete, if you know what I mean.
I would offer anything to the world just to experience a day like that again. A day when I fell asleep with complete emotion; a mixture between weepy and happy. I don't need accounting to get my day balanced. I just need the universe.
