OD 23: Loose Cannon

Sunday, August. 31/08/2014 22:37

Money.

Despair and hope of humankind. The source of problems and also its solutions. Directly and indirectly.

You see, I grew up almost normally but I matured up way ahead of my time. Doesn't mean I'm smart, but it does mean that I'm mentally adult.

That's why I always wanted to be a kid again. I will give everything to be a kid again. No stress, no burden. Sounds like I'm running away, right? Of course I am. I don't wanna deal with this adult bullshit.

Some fears you face head on, but this isn't fear. Just anger. I hate it when people talk about money, so that's what I'm doing right now. Talk about money. When you talk about it near your kids, it makes them mature up faster than they deserve. I don't know what most people would feel but I, for an example, felt guilty. "My parents pay for my education." That or other obvious things parents do for their kids.

I'm not the most problematic kid out there but I am problematic nonetheless. Short tempered, violent, spoiled, manipulative, lazy. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. All that makes me feel guilty, my parents might be trading cash for nothing because I can't absorb what I studied in school efficiently. Its a waste.

Short temper, I think I got that from my dad. I don't know the truth for shit but who cares. Me and him got temper issues. But I'm worse, enough said. Violent behavior, I am the first. According to what my parents said, from their relatives and those before them, I am the first to show this. It really isn't something to be proud or brag about. When I was a kid I was spoiled, it makes me lazy. When I don't get what I want I try to manipulate people to get it. Spoiled people develop low tolerance towards stress and authority. And it gets worse over time.

Now that I've reached adulthood and understands the concept of money, I came to understand the hardships my parents went through for me and my brother. As the elder sibling I was supposed to set a example for my brother but I failed. My failure affected my parents and brother. Financial burden and mental strain. This homeschooling place costs maybe almost twice my previous school the first time I got here. The people at my brother's school called him a killer's sibling at one point, even though I didn't kill anyone. I never meant to hurt anyone.

But the past is just that, a past. Excuses are excuses. Reasoning won't do me any good. All I can do is fix it in anyway I possibly can within my strength. But I'm lazy. See?

This is a public site.

Sometimes I must remind myself of that fact. I must be careful of what I write and post to the public. But it defeats the purpose of this Online Diary, right? So this morning I thought, Fuck it, for once let's take the risk. Its not the time for fear, that comes later when someone talked to me about this blog. So, I'll talk about stuff that's been driving me up the fucking wall recently.

You see, there are so many things to talk about but only some of them allowed. I'm on my last life here, my last chance. If I screw up once again its over for me. Because I've got nowhere else to go.

This is my place to vent about the things that happened, good or bad. But even so, I was still selective about what I put in here. I don't want to write something too specifically. I try my best to speak in general terms so that it wouldn't sound like I'm describing someone. Its also to keep me out of trouble. It won't be good for me to bad mouth a classmate and they talked to me about it. There's a chance of physical violence, okay? I might kill someone and that's never a good thing.

Everyday when I, Adit, Naufal, and Izmy are present in class, the three of them often talk about stuff. Discussing a study material or Adit boasting about some shit to awe them. I just stayed silent and listened. When someone said they did something great, Adit would say I did that once or used to do that but I got lazy or bored, and then he adds that he did it better and shit.

Almost every morning, today I feel lazy or sleepy because yesterday I got home late at night or I had a German language test. All that while blasting music from his earphone and chatting. Not to mention he's fucking late. That fine I guess! *sarcasm*

Almost every time before class starts, I forgot my (something. Let's say, a pen.) because I left it in my other bag or I left it in my German language tutor place. But he remembers to bring his fucking laptop and two USB controllers. Something that's not required in class. Nothing wrong with that, right? *sarcasm *

When someone answers a question, actually I can do that too but I'm lazy or I felt sleepy. Then he copies the answer. What an efficient way of life! *SARCASM*

The same excuse again and again. You're getting more and more predictable day by day but I decided to shut up because I'm tired of it all. I get it, okay. I'll let myself get stomped. For you and your glorious bullshit.

But yeah. Nothing I could do, right? "No, you can say something, you can say anything." Yeah, and it would only add to my embarrassment. I have a very big ego, you see? It's the size of a fucking dinosaur. I stayed silent because it was the best course of action. And I so I force myself to study.

The sweetest passive revenge I can do is when I did great on a subject, because people will flock to me and ask about stuff. You see, lately his academic performance has been dropping and that's an opening for me, an aspect I can take advantage of.

What the fuck is he thinking, taking out his anime sticker covered laptop from his Nico Nico nii~ pin covered bag, in the middle of study session, playing music loudly from his earphone (yes, it's audible)!

Good God! I fucking hate this.

When someone- when anyone tried speaking or is speaking to either Izmy of Naufal (or anyone, really), he would cut in saying something about downloading movies or some anime stuff. For fuck's sake, we're in the middle of something here. Can't you fucking see? Are you fucking blind? God! And the worst part is that it worked! They're actually distracted! Distracted from studying! The thing that actually matters!

Please realize that I'm an enormous fucking hypocrite because I said stuff about studying while I myself is a lazy person that doesn't like studying. *unnecessary dramatic sigh*

I've let one thing out. It won't be long for other things I hate to attack me while I unsuspectingly drop my defense. Yeah.

The higher you fly, the harder you'll fall. My heart shattered as my friend Dillon wave his hand between my face and the phone display as I was sitting there frozen.

Last week when I went swimming, I took a photo of the pool being all chill and empty of people. The way I like it. Then I posted said picture in Instagram with some fabulous hipster filters. I swim and swim and when I was done I checked my post, there's a comment from Audrey's IG telling me to come to her place for a gift exchange. My necklace for hers. It was actually a deal made way back when AriaFams were still active as shit. But I said I'll go next week, I was already halfway home. "Home" meaning my old friend Dillon's house. We've been friends for 7 years, more or less.

Yesterday I talked to her first (or maybe should I say chat?) about the gift exchange. We talked about it a bit. Tons of assignments and homework makes it complicated. Today in class in the middle of a math lecture Audrey said she can do it because she went home early. I went swimming as usual and when I check my phone she said she can't. A bullet went through my chest as a drop of sweat hit the screen.

The good thing is I haven't departed yet from the pool, so I don't have to double the distance to Dillon's house. Yes, I walked. Yes, I usually walk. I went to Dillon's and we watched some educational YouTube videos in his room about science, history, Europe, and European history. I was watching a vid about theories about the death of our universe by Kurzgesagt (totally awesome) when Audrey chatted me that whatever activities that prevented us from meeting got cancelled.

"I should've gone there anyway, even if she said she can't."

I dropped in Dillon's bed.

I've been alive for only 17 years, I lack experience and stuff. There's much I don't know and understand.

All my life I thought I was living a normal life until I dropped out, and then the definition of normal became blurred to me. I've talked about the drop out subject so I won't talk about that. This is just to give an intro to help you boys and girls understand the core of the following subject.

For the recent months I've become sensitive and I don't know if its good or bad. And for the recent months I've limited my interaction with my brother. You can say that I hate him, now. I'm not a talker, so I mostly think to myself. Talking in my conscience. I don't wanna talk to him, I don't want to do anything with him. I know we just wouldn't connect. Any attempt to talk to him outside of his games will be dealt with coldly by him and it hurts me a lot. If I try to make small talks or jokes it would be easily reversed towards me and it hurts me a lot. I realized how easily hurt I was and its weird. I don't make any attempt to fix it.

He's my kid brother so it's obvious that I'm on the losing side whenever we got into a fight. My parent's would support him, knowing how unstable I am. Even though we've hardly fought anymore but minor disagreement would result in a mute war. No eye contact, no talking. I hate this, I hate him.

But without him I'd be lonely. Who am I gonna talk to at home?

But whatever, really. Even if he somehow suddenly dies or disappears it would not make any difference to me. I'm already alone. I'm like a ghost to him.

But it's okay. It's normal. "No, it's not!" You're damn right its not but what can I do!? Fucking what!? I dont know why its hard for me to give up crossing this bridge when the other side kept throwing arrows and insults at me. This weird feeling won't go away.

Everyone is special. When everyone is special, no one is. Everyone becomes normal.

When I got kicked out, I know I'm the only one with blood on my hands. The other kids in homeschooling are either retards or fucked up jerks. It made me special. But I don't want to be.

"I draw well. I'm good at English. I have above average scores. I'm good at video games. My parents' financial support is enough for me."

Now, its all gone. When you've lost your pride, you don't want to do anything. Just sit down, and look at the ceiling.

After I dropped out, I've become a worse human being and I can't fix it. My parents' support went to my kid brother who is now, and always will be, a better human being than I will ever be.

And I hate this.

Starting tomorrow is mid-semester exam. Oh, man. I know I'm gonna fuck up at least one of seven subjects. It could be Chemistry, Physics, or Biology but I hope I don't screw anything up.

I've no progress on [Fiction] Players chapter 2. Sorry, I'm just out of ideas at the moment. Taking my free time to draw and post in Instagram.

Speaking of [Fiction]s, I wrote a fiction for my Indonesian assignment. I'll post both the Indo and English version as soon as I finished translating it.

When I was in the middle of writing it, at first I though "I'm going to make the English version and it's gonna be different from the Indo version!" but now after I finished the Indo, I thought making it different is going to be too much of a hassle.

What's the point of making a different plot? I don't know. But I do know I don't want to make a new plot with the same theme because I'm too lazy.

Anyway, this is Aexeonn reporting in before mid-semester exam (read: 4 day hell).

Aex, out.

   "Aaaand, enter."

   Its almost midnight, most people would already be sleeping. I should too but there's someone waiting for me. Man, its been some time since I played this game. If I use my main account I might screw up.

–Welcome to Colliding Realms Online, a Global Multiplayer Online Dramatic Action Roleplaying Game (GMODARPG).–

   Ah, the welcome screen. Oh how I've missed you! Okay now, let's see... Lyn said go to Desert area, Pyramid Temple Complex.

   I played around for a while in the entrance area to recall how to play before making my way towards the meeting place. My avatar, [WingsOfFreedom], the one who wears dark blue ninja armor with a mask and a red scarf approached Lynmere's. He's using his main account, which surprised me because usually he would hide in a dungeon while grinding for experience points, hiding from annoying players. After all, he's the champion. Lyn's avatar, [Lux_Magna], stands on top of a boulder with azure armor covering his torso and legs. His golden scarf on his neck and waist waving in the wind with his white hair.

   Two players are standing in the midst of a ruined temple deep within a vast, pyramid filled sands. Like a prologue to a showdown.

   Global Chat reacted differently than what I expected, players started going crazy over the fact that the champion will go against an ordinary player.

   [Global Chat]

boywhatshisface: champ vs ordinary player. dis i gotta see

   Not long after the announcement was made, the area was filled with other players but we continued on with the fight anyway. I've been waiting for this moment. Its like meeting a long lost brother.

   [Private Messages]

WingsOfFreedom: wtf
Lux_Magna: its ok let em watch
Lux_Magna: dude use a microphone if u got it
Lux_Magna: u dont have to tell em were pvping u know
WingsOfFreedom: shuttup lol

   «Let's begin. Releasing armor and weapon.»
   Both Dom's and Lux's armor fades into darkness, revealing the avatar's bare torso. They only have their leg armor on, the rest have been unequipped. With our weapons discarded, now we're ready to fight. Lux crossed both of his arms in front of him.

[Lux_Magna] Fire IX - Wave

   He swung his arms to the sides and casted a powerful wave of fire all around him. The scorching flames were so intense, it decimated all the boulders and made a flat ground. Perfect for a one on one battle. I quickly jumped to avoid the attack and lands smoothly on the broken temple floor.

   "Come on!" I shouted through the mic as I dashed towards Lux to deliver a punch, he evaded the attack by leaning to his right side and then threw me by grabbing my left arm and swinging my body, slamming me down. I got up with a kick to his head to knock him away, Lux was staggered for a moment.

   I thought I spotted an opening so I rushed in to attack but he countered my assault and knocked me to the sky.
   «Still too slow...» he said with a low voice as he jumps and prepares to smash me to the ground. Still as skillful as ever, but I mustn't lose. I grabbed him when he was about to smash me and sent him to the ground instead. Lux landed with a loud boom and clouds of dirt.

   «Hmm. Not bad.»
   "Not done yet!" I dropped towards him to attack with a downward strike but I missed, my attack cracked the surface. Before I managed to get up he had already kicked me and I was launched far away. Luckily I landed without crashing into anything even though I sled through the floor.

   I realized I was fighting a losing battle so I tried to renegotiate the deal I made with Lyn.

-Change perspective from Fynsel's to Lynmere's.-

   «Okay, how about this... magics allowed. If I win, you're going to the school I'm going to enter. You've been gone for a long time now, don't you think?»
   "Are you sure, Fyn?"

   Its true, I've been hiding for a long time. But it wasn't for nothing, there's a reason I disappeared. Maybe I should tell him what happened after all this time.

   "That's a big bet to place in an online game, but I suppose that's okay. Fyn, listen. I owe you an explanation."
   «About why you disappeared after the second semester started?»
   "Correct." I'm surprised he can take it lightly, I thought he was going to explode about it.
   «Tell me why, Lyn. Where were you!? Why did-»
   "Hey hey hey." Spoke too soon. Now, I have to distract him somehow before explaining to calm him down.

   "Remember the deal you made? See it through, then I'll explain. Okay?" Disaster averted.
   «Okay, but I'm gonna make you enter my highschool once we're done here. The gang misses you, Lyn.»
   "Really? I thought they would've forgotten me already."
   «What, are you trying to make me mad?»

   Oh, he's angry. This is actually good for me, if he loses his focus I could take advantage out of it. But it doesn't really matter who wins, I asked him to play just to talk to him about everything. Why I transferred out, why I cut them off from my life for the last 6 months.

Lux_Magna: u mad bro?

   I typed that as I laughed. It really feels different to play with your best friend rather that facing strangers in the arena.

   «I won't go easy on you, you know.»
   "Oh, please. No need."

   I cross both my arms in front of me and bend my knees. I hold my ground, refusing to be defeated by my childhood friend. I take a deep breath as my body emits a powerful aura. The ground trembles from the pressure.

   "Fyn, let me tell you one thing, you're gonna regret this."

   Provoked, Fyn's avatar charged towards mine and shoots a lightning projectile while jumping. He's focused on defeating me now, more than ever. Just before it reached me, I used a light magic to neutralize his attack and sent him sky high.

[WingsOfFreedomThunder IV - Bolt
[Lux_Magna] Divine Light II - Flash

   I wanted to finish the fight quickly so I jumped to engage Dom in midair combat. We traded punches and shot magic at each other before plummeting back down to earth. On the way down he used a thunder magic at point blank range that paralyzed my avatar. I couldn't move, and in that split second advantage Dom kicks me down.

[WingsOfFreedom] Thunder IV - Charge
[WingsOfFreedom] Thunder III - Shock +
[Lux_Magna] Status: Shock

   "What-" I didn't realize I was paralyzed until I tried to counter him while he's stomping me.
   «Take this!» With one final stomp, Dom blasted off to the skies to deliver a magic attack. Fyn's avatar is covered in symbols and sigils. I knew he was going to use a light magic.

   He points both of his arms towards me, opening both fists into open palms. The sigils moved through air and stacks on top of each other. Before he executed the attack, my status ailment had wore off and I had just enough time to activate a protective shield magic. Golden circle runes appears below my feet, shining with power.

   "Light spells, huh? Alright."

[WingsOfFreedom] Divine Light II - Flash

   From the stacking light sigils, a large stream of purple light shoots down. Engulfing Lux in a shower of light, breaking the ground all around him.

[Lux_Magna] Support Magic II - Protect
[Lux_Magna] Darkness III - Black Hole

   I activated it just in time and his powerful magic is reflected off me, hitting nearby players instead. As Dom recovers from the spell's cool down frames, I prepared a powerful dark magic. "Its the end!"

   I jumped and grabbed Dom, slamming him to the ground and cast the dark magic in his face. Effectively ending the battle.

   Over the microphone, I heard Fyn groaning in annoyance.
   "What's the matter?"
   «I lost. That's what.» I only chuckled.
   "Don't worry about it. Even if I win, I would still be entering your school. I've already registered."

Lux_Magna: /pay_credits @wingsoffreedom 10000
Lux_Magna: /pay_coins @wingsoffreedom 500000

   «You're really coming back?» Still having doubts, Fyn can't help but ask. "Yeah."

[Lux_Magna] Support II - Revive
[Lux_Magna] Support III - Heal III

   With a shower of light, Lux revives and heals Fyn's avatar.
   "I've paid you enough money to be pretty rich. Now, go get stronger. Don't just waste this gift I gave you, practice your brain too. Shorten your reaction time, learn how to counter properly."

   We both laughed. Knowing that I'm going to be with my best friend again, I feel relieved.

Author's note: perspective changed to 3rd person. I'm getting kinda lazy here -3-)/

   "Hey, Lyn. I think its time to talk." Fyn opens a conversation first, over private voice chat channel.
   With a sigh, Lyn replies, "Right. I was just gonna say the same thing." Lyn clicks on a menu to open a portal heading to his avatar's residence. "Come."

   [Nexus - Lux_Magna & _Maximus_ residence]

   "Ah, this place. My other account is your wife, I forgot."
   "It still feels weird when you marry a woman and she reveals that she's a guy." Lyn said with a low voice, followed by Fyn's laugh on the other side of the network.
   "I married your account so I could get discounts on items!"
   "Cut it out, Fyn. On to business now." With their jokes aside, Lyn talks first to explain his disappearance.

   "As you know, after the second semester of 10th grade I transferred out."
   "I know it was for your father's company. You talked directly to the vice president via his son."
   "So you've known."
   "That's as far as I've heard." Fyn replies shortly. He puts his avatar on AFK status so it won't get kicked by administrator bots.

   "I was just worried, you know. You're an orphan now, Lyn. And if its just to hand over your position in the company, you don't really have to transfer out, right?"
   "I'm not really an orphan. I'm just alone. I transferred out to mature up. I've been living in the luxury of my mansion. I thought I wouldn't survive in the real world like that."

   "I see." Fyn whispered through his headset. Lyn is right, no matter who you are, the world will still try to bring you down. Not everyone have the heart to help each other, so they have to help themselves.
   "Don't worry. I'll meet you in class the day after tomorrow."
   "Hey now, we don't even know if we're gonna be in th-"

"I paid the teacher."

Cruel bombs.

What I've written below, what you're about to read, might be too painful to bear. I know for some of my close friends it will. Because it hurts me too.

I shouldn't be back to writing this early but I have to, otherwise I would be drowned in stress and negative emotions.

I said I wouldn't be writing for some time because, well, my internet has been shitty. Its shit. Makes me want to go back to my grandparents' house.

I mean, I knew my internet is shit, but not like this. Before I went to Jogja, I knew my internet is shit. It wasn't like this before. My dad explained that something not worth writing here happened that makes my internet shitty. I adapted, however, and got used to this slow connection.

My good friend came here several times and he unintentionally showed me how nice it is to have a decent connection. I know how it feels, at school, the internet is way better than it is at home.

I would gladly stay in school for it. But I don't like it there. The atmosphere, the environment, the people, the activities, I hate them. Maybe, for now, the only thing that made me go there is the fact that, for a moment, I can be alone. Away from friends and family. For a moment.

And decent internet.

My father works at a network service provider or something. If I need something to use for communication, sometimes he provided it for me. I know nothing about economy or anything related, but I think the company he works at is in the verge of collapsing.

This internet he provided used to be decent and reliable, but not anymore. I wanted to change, but this factor made me think that its a bad choice not to support my father's company. I want to stop supporting my father and get better internet. Whenever I show the signs of wanting it, such as talking about it, I can see a change of expression in his face. Stress emerges. Not long after he would mention about money, sometimes not discreetly.

Its normal to want to improve. Its normal to want to get better by leaving something behind, sometimes by hurting someone. In a game, often times you must kill to get stronger. And if that's the case sometimes you have to kill many. Its not right, but it isn't wrong either.

But then again, it might be just me being selfish.

One night, AriaFams discussed about the gathering, and how it got cancelled again. I was furious. Angry, sad, and confused. But I said to them, its okay. I'm not angry, just sad. Since then, I knew its not going to happen, but for some reason, I still wished for it to come true.

There were six of us. And life drove a barrier to separate us one by one. Sometimes slowly, to add to the pain.

Abby went to Australia, effectively cutting him off right from the beginning.

Jane rarely talked to us anymore. We knew it was because she has an old phone. But I, for one, felt something else. I'm pretty sure she's happy with her boyfriend. Talk a lot. In short replies. Spamming Twitter feeds. Their spam session is far and few in between but once it happens, its not just some light talk. In those times, why not talk to us? I don't have any reason other that what I've already said. Maybe if its not for Angel she would've forgotten about us. Or maybe she had already forgotten, and Angel was just there to remind her. She would then forget about us again soon after.

Since the new school year, Axel said he has joined several extracurricular activities at his school. The last time AriaFams held a meeting, he said he can't because of that. Not to mention he's in a formal school, unlike me. Imagine the amount of homework he gets. For Axel, I'm not so sure. He might. He might not. But I don't really care. For the most part, its because he's annoying. Joking around, unrelated to the topic. His shenanigans are not even funny to begin with.

The same goes for Audrey. She kept saying she got tons of assignments. She is also the one who wants this the most. Although sometimes, I feel like her optimism is there just to make us feel better. Cheering us up, again and again. Sometimes I feel she intentionally hides from the truth. Not accepting it. And sometimes, I wish she would stop. Don't you realize, the higher you fly, the more painful it is to fall?

Angel might be the biggest question mark out of all of them. Honestly, I know nothing about her or what's going on around her. Its like she's the only one that can. One thing that made her can't is that she can't go alone. She's a girl, its dangerous for any girl to go out alone. She said she can go IF Jane is also coming. But that's highly unlikely. I couldn't figure her out, so why should I care?

Me? I'm scared. I want us to gather but I don't know what must be done. I just have to be there. At some point I don't care if I have to beg to get there. At other times what I feel is fear. Its going to be awkward, or, what if they're late, or whatever. Being frantic, insecure, nervous and emotional at the same time.

Last night I vented some massive shit for a good hour and this morning, when I check this to vent some more, I see that the whole fucking thing wasn't saved. Thanks, shit network.

I'm in so much anger right now, I can't help but smile.

You know, in the days before my last trip to Jogja, I used to check on several websites and stuff regularly. See if there's something new.

My Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Dissidia Forums, Facebook, Gmail, BlackBerry messenger, Line messenger.
Axel's Twitter and Blog. Jane's boyfriend's Blog. Angel's Twitter and Blog.
Audrey's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Ask page, Tumblr page, her Blog.

There was never any significant changes. After my internet connection got shot down to hell, I stopped checking. Not long after, stuff starts to happen and things start to change. Frequency of activities rise and fall.

Axel said he entered a school where he's the only non-muslim student there. The validity of this statement is questionable. True or not, that's a pretty ballsy move. But who cares, right? He's probably lying.

Angel has set her eyes on another prey for her heart prison. Its easy to see that she's drowning in this sea called love. I have to watch my temper because things like this could get too hot, too fast. She's delusional. She talks about her crush everytime she gets the chance. And most of the time, she tries to connect whatever the fuck we're talking about with her crush.

Many boys in Audrey's class are hitting on her. This reminds me of Angel's word. Cutting open old wounds, this time, extra salty. Imagine the burn. Its not her fault, though. I'm too slow. Cupid should change his weapon from bow arrow to bitch slaps. Its painful and its going to bring your eyes back to reality.

A videogame character once taught me to mind my own business. "Looking out for information is good, but don't stick out your neck too much."

I stalked carefully, but I saw nothing. When I decided its time to jump out the window, I didn't just broke my neck.

You know what? I might have been too cruel on the wordings of some things I've written above. But I'm not gonna change it. I won't delete it.

If I do delete them, I might as well not write them in the first place. Those cruel sentences, those words shows how much I'm pissed off inside when I wrote them. I was angry.

If you're hurt, then I'm sorry.

I cannot make excuses like I didn't realize what I was saying because I was completely aware of what I was writing. I realize I was hurting you. And I kept writing.

You know, I feel blessed. I realize there are people out there who are suffering and dying and stuff.

This afternoon, after class I was supposed to go home but I stayed in class longer than I wanted to. I made a three way deal with Aditya and Naufal. Adit and I got new anime to watch from Naufal, Adit also got new PSP games from me. To execute the exchange,  I brought my PSP, Adit with his laptop, and Naufal with his external harddisk.

While I was waiting for Adit to finish copying. A girl came to my class, just to look around, and went back out. Her name is Devi. Why would you come to class after its finished? Its time to go home anyway, so why bother? Devi is from the class next door, where all the noisy kids reside. Before I came to like Audrey, I was keeping my eye on her.

I saw Devi went to her class and I came to visit moments later. She was working on the assignments given before class was over. I talked to her and we made small conversations. We, me, her, Adit. Heh. Well, not really. It was just me and her. But Adit came at the end of our conversation.

She told me about lots of stuff. I don't know if all her stories were true but if it is, its pretty damn sad, you know?

What do you feel when you are told that you're gonna have a sibling more that 15 years younger than you? Happy? Sad? Depends on the person.

She was listening to a song while working on the assignments. Bunda by Melly Goeslaw. Bunda means mother. She has always lived with her grandmother before, but for the last year she's living with her parents. She has been staying in their apartment for just about a year. She told me her mother is pregnant with her sibling. I was going to say that it was a good news until I took a look at her face.

Brown hair, white face, glassy eyes, red and runny nose. For as long as her mother had the baby, she's been bad to Devi. Always angry at her. Thinking that she's always right, being arrogant. Telling her to do stuff, like a slave driver. The baby might be a bringer of bad omen for Devi.

When we were almost done talking, I asked her, "Why come now? You should go home, class is over." All this time I thought she almost never came to school, while the truth that she told me is that she came to school everyday. But she never went to class, where all the noisy kids are. She said she can't concentrate, just like me.

She went in after class to study all by herself. I don't know what's the deal with her and her mother but she said she didn't go home for two days the first time she heard her mother was pregnant. Where'd she go to sleep in the night? Did she sleep in her car? I might never know the answer.

At the end of our conversation, Adit came in telling me that he's almost done copying the files. I don't know if it was because of Adit's presence in there or if its because she realized I was staring deeply at her face, but suddenly she started joking around trying to hide her tears.

It was painful to watch. A crying girl trying to be strong in front to you. She is so small, so cute. Like a little sister I never had. When Adit said he was done, I gave my pack of bubblegums to her and went home. I told her to keep it and give it back to me on Monday, and she can take some of the bubblegums. I wanna see her keep her word and come to school on Monday.

Violent tense, bahasa kekerasan.

Pake language campuran dulu deh. 50/50 Indonesian English. Pala gw agak2 clouded nih.

Last night gw ga bisa tidur abis nonton Guardians of The Galaxy. BTW itu good movie. Gw duduk dikasur senderan ama bantal. Pala gw nempel ke tembok sambil asik chattingan  sama Audrey about random stuff gitu. Mulai dari gathering gagal sampe sibling 15 taun lebih muda dari lu. Lalu sampe tiba2 gw nanya soal... Someone from my past lah kira2 istilahnya. I don't know cara ngomongnya gimana.

Awalnya gw nanya dia kena gak sama a particular someone. Dari situ gw langsung kelewat emotional gitu entah kenapa. Dan entah kenapa somehow tiba2 gw nanya soal orang yg gw stab.

Dia ngejelasin katanya dia kenal sama my victim's girlfriend's sister kan. Sang sister ini ngeliat chat BBM gw sama Audrey, nanya dia kenal ama gw gak. Audrey bilang aj iya.

Gw udh ngerasa tense gitu. Tegang sekujur tubuh. Filled with stress gitu padahal gw ga tau bakal kejadian apa. Pas Audrey lagi cerita, gw minta dia buat stop, soalnya gw udh ngerasa ada bad feeling dateng. Tapi dia ngeduluin gw. Dia tulis kata temennya "Pacar kakak gue dia bante" gitu.

Seketika gw slam belakang pala gw ke tembok. Painful. Cukup sakit buat ngesuppress amarah sama memori yang keinget lagi. Every single memory from that day onward, surging into my head.

Lagi asik chat sama Audrey, let my guard down. Itu lagi tenang banget dah asli. Peaceful. Tapi tiba2 diserang sama kenangan gw yg gw kira udh gw throw away jauh2. Dia ngerasa guilty gara2 ngebuat gw nostalgia tapi gw bilang aj itu bukan salah dia. Emang bukan salah dia, dia kan ga bermaksud.

Buat calming down gw lanjut ngobrol aja ama dia. Biar lupa gitu kan. Forget it lah. Tapi chatnya juga salah, gw malah nyeritain past gw ke dia. Ngerasa pathetic gw sekarang. Biar masalah itu ga kita discuss lebih jauh, gw bilang gw mau tidur.

Sampe ga tau berapa jam setelah gw bilang goodnight ke Audrey, gw masih bangun. Pala gw masih sakit. Tapi ga sesakit ego gw yang udh baret tambah baret. Man, that night was a wild rollercoaster ride.

Wait, no. This month was a crazy rollercoaster disaster.
