Last night I was having call with Syam. Damn!! It was such a really long time not seing him. I really miss him so much. It’s about a year (perhaps more) we’ve not seen each other, or even talk on the phone. We were busy each other made things in order in our life. Last time we met were on his visiting to Jakarta in early moment I started to work in the bureau.
We were talking on many thing and almost took half an hour. I was quite surprised the moment he told me that he’s goin’ to marry soon. After so many struggling and heart broken, he found his soulmate yet. But I bit doubt it, coz he told me that he do the Ta’aruf way (the Islamic way in finding future wife/husband without having date or engage phase. They were introduced each other by the person they trust and know very well whose recommending the candidate, learn the bio of each person, and if there’s any agreeable continued, they’ll going to meet each other.). But I think, perhaps that’s the way God gave him a right person.
He told me that he was abandoned by his ex-girlfriend after so many sacrifice he made (And I heard bout this too from Rici). He seems always got in trouble with girls he loved. I bit confuse ‘bout how life’s goes…Syam was a kind of a man who would do any thing for the one he love, but most person he love seems like to disappointed and hurt him. Left and abandon him away. But he never gave up (even though I know how hard it was for him to keep his head up high after, and rare to complain). Life is funny!! There’s a man who would ready to do any thing for the one he loves and sacrifice almost whole of his life, but all the thing he got in the end was disappointed, hurt and left. While I, the man who always pessimist about Love, but often to fall in with (most of) wrong person, also (often) to end up in misery, regret, and abandoned. Is there a place for guy like us be able to find our true love…a person who really want and ready perfectly to us…Gossshhh!!! That’s why I really hate to fall in Love!!!
I was quite touched when I heard how hurt he was in his relationship before…poor Syam!! But we laugh after, seing how stupid he was, fallen too deep to a wrong person and sacrifice too much to a girl that didn’t Love him anymore. Hahaha…I think he better reconsider me to be his boyfriend…hahaha…(coz he told me that how lucky I am if I got him!!)…you wish that dude!! I told him to better be luck next time, and ALWAYS remember to use his brain everytime he fall in again. Love may blind, but not fool, only when you want to use your brain to think!
I miss his family hospitality everytime I stay abroad during my holiday in Bali, especially his mother who always asked me to eat lot of food she made everytime I was there. Syam always act to be “look-good” (even though sometimes he look quite good…hahaha!!!), and truly has a confident inside him. He got a pure Balinesse accent for a Borneo man. He’s honest, caring and love to make happy people around him (especially his closed friend…and I counted!!). He loves to make us laugh…ouuww…I miss him so much…and I miss my fellas while I was lived in Bali. Syam asked me to came by once, he’s lonely now in Bali. Our friends has separated. Only me whose lucky have Shinta here in Jakarta. Rici is in Portugal with her husband, so is Jose in Singapore. Frank is in East Timor while Yunita is still finishing her study at Jogja. Diah live in Bandung now. And I don’t know where Juwita is…
