23 Juli 2021 -
sekitar jam 4 pagi.

—————————

aku ingat dengan jelas malam itu, 
adikku menggedor pintu kamar, menangis, bertanya sambil terisak, 
“Kak Via, ibu kenapa?”

aku bangun secepat mungkin, berlari ke ruang tengah, 
merasakan deg deg-an dengan kecemasan yang sangat hebat bahwa aku harus menghadapi rasa takutku yang paling nomor satu: kehilangan seorang ibu.

di sana aku mendapati ibuku berbaring, tidak bergerak. 
aku coba melakukan CPR--walau aku tidak tahu bagaimana caranya--mencoba membuat nafas buatan, apapun yang aku bisa lakukan, demi setitik harapan untuk mengulur waktu.

tidak pernah rasanya aku merasakan kecemasan, ketakutan, dan panik yang sangat hebat, 
hingga saat itu.

aku mencoba menelfon 119 untuk meminta bantuan ambulance, 
entah harus berapa kali menelepon karena selalu susah tersambung. 
sekalipun tersambung, tetap tidak ada yang mengangkat disebrang sana. 

entah setelah percobaan yang berpuluh kali, akhirnya panggilan disebrang sana ada yang mengangkat. 
tapi semua pun sia-sia, karena saat aku bilang "aku butuh ambulance",
petugas disebrang sana dengan tidak sigap bertanya "ambulance untuk apa?”
aku jawab, "ibu saya tidak bernafas. saya butuh ambulance untuk ke rumah sakit",

betapa kaget dan tidak percayanya aku, 
petugas itu malah menjawab, "kalau sudah ga bernafas panggilnya mobil jenazah bukan ambulance".

tidak pernah saya merasakan sakit hati yang sungguh hebatnya, 
hingga saat itu.

diriku yang biasanya pasti sudah memaki. 
tapi tidak saat itu—ingin marah, ingin teriak, tapi aku tidak punya tenaga karena pikiran yang kalang kabut bercampur takut.
lemas, meminta bantuan disini kok sulit sekali. 

tak ada semenit untuk memproses, aku berseru dengan paniknya, "ambulancenya ga bisa, ayo bawa ibu ke rumah sakit langsung aja!" 
tanpa sadar, ternyata sedang hujan lebat di luar.

ayah sibuk memanggil tetangga, adik-adik menelepon saudara.
ingin rasanya kami membawa ibu ke rumah sakit, tetapi bingung bagaimana, 
karena keadaan sedang hujan, tidak bisa panggil ambulance, dan rumah berada di gang (harus jalan dulu ke depan gang untuk bisa ke mobil).

aku masih cemas, tidak memedulikan sekitar dan masih memikirkan bagaimana caranya agar aku bisa membawa ibu ke rumah sakit. 
hingga tanteku akhirnya bersuara, “udah Via, ibu udah ngga ada”.

tidak pernah rasanya aku merasakan benar-benar hancur, 
hingga saat itu.

tiba tiba terbayang di otakku puluhan skenario “jika saja”. 
namun tiada daya, selain hanya bisa pasrah menghadapi keadaan. 
tidak ada lagi yang bisa dilakukan, selain merelakan.

tak pernah menyangka bahwa aku harus menghadapi hal yang paling menakutkan untukku secepat ini.

—————————

aku dan ibu bukan seperti sahabat dekat untuk tempat curhat, 
tapi satu hal yang membuatku tenang dirumah adalah mengetahui ibuku ada di kamar atau di luar. 
tidak perlu bercerita, hanya dengan sekedar cukup tahu keberadaannya.

kapan pun aku sedang berada jauh tidak di rumah, 
satu hal yang membuatku tenang adalah mengetahui aku bisa menelfon ibu kapan saja.
 tidak perlu lama berbicara, hanya sekedar cukup tahu aku masih bisa mendengar suaranya.

aku jarang memeluk dan mengucapkan betapa aku menyayanginya, 
tapi salah tiga hal yang membuat ku bahagia adalah, 
saat aku bisa memberi hadiah, membelanjakan, & merias wajahnya sebelum dirinya pergi kondangan.

—————————

aku adalah anak pertama dari 3 bersaudara, perempuan semua. 
keadaan dan tanggung jawab sebagai kakak pertama membuat aku layaknya “ayah versi perempuan”. 
hal ini juga yang mungkin menyebabkan aku beberapa kali berselisih dengan beliau, 
karena sifatku yang keras kepala.

dari dulu, aku sangat menantikan saat menjelang pernikahan, 
karena aku tahu disaat itulah aku bisa mengeratkan hubunganku dengan Ibu. 
tapi sepertinya Tuhan belum mengizinkan itu, karena ibu lebih dibutuhkan disisi-Nya.

aku bisa apa selain mengalah pada Yang Maha Kuasa?

—————————

aku pikir diriku sudah terbiasa, 
namun mengingat kenangan bersamanya sedikit saja ternyata masih membuatku menitikkan air mata. 

ini perjalanan yang sungguh tidak mudah, 
butuh berbulan bulan untuk benar-benar menerima. 
hingga akhirnya aku bisa mengatakan,

aku merelakan kepergiannya.

namun apabila boleh meminta, sebagai hadiah ikhlasku,
aku berharap untuk bisa bertemu dengan Ibu dan memeluknya lagi,
menyampaikan apa yang belum sempat aku ceritakan, diakhir nanti.

—————————

Ibuku pergi setahun lalu, 
hari Jumat, 23 Juli 2021.

Hari baik, karena beliau orang baik, dan tepat sesaat sebelum adzan subuh berkumandang.

Hi guys!

remember my previous post about Naruto?
well, you can read it here, just in case: Naruto #1

so, i've just finished Naruto & Naruto Shippuden ALL 720 episodes during this pandemic quarantine.
and the only regret i have is that, "why the hell i didnt finish it sooner???!!!"
i could have finished it back then in 2017 but i only watched Shippuden until the Long-Awaited Reunion chapter and i dont remember why i choose not to continue???!!! im so mad at myself hhhh.

anywayssss, im happy ive finished it now.
and no matter what, Naruto is, and always will, be the best anime for me.  well, i know there are other best anime (maybe way better) than Naruto, but Naruto will always has a special place deep in my heart. You see, not only i grew up with it, but i learnt from it, a lot actually. 
I even plan to watch it again with my future kids later lol. (Isnt it cool that anime could affect this much in your life??!)

its so mixed-up feelings to watch Naruto again from the start.
i cried, i laughed, i smiled, screamed, cried (happy tears this time), and smiled again. 
well, mostly cried because whether its a sad scene or happy scene i would still cry bcs i cannot contain my emotions 'ttebayo!!

There were so many (literally -- SO many) scenes that shed tears when i watched Naruto (ranked by my personal choice):
1) Jiraiya's death (I SOBBED!!!! T_T)
2) Naruto's farewell with Minato (this one I also sobbed T_T)
3) Naruto meets Kushina
4) Itachi's truth
5) Gaara's childhood story
6) Neji's death
7) Asuma's death
8) Konan's death (Konan-Yahiko-Nagato backstory)
9) When Naruto gets a hero welcome after he defeat Pain
10) Zabuza-Haku
11) Team 7 reassembles during war
12) Hinata's childhood
13) Kakashi's past story
14) Gaara's speech before they start the war
15) basically, every sad and epic moments during 4th great ninja war lol

My heart was broken so many times during 4th great ninja war arc. I cant even know how to put it in words :(
But, well, Naruto is not only about sad story; there were also some scenes that makes me laughed so hard or simply smile (sometimes i smiled ear to ear because yes, im that happy watching it!hahah). Especially all NaruHina moments :") even the smallest thing like when Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand. I screamed in joy!! --- Yes, I shipped NaruHina so hard i shipped them since 2009 when theyre still in genin era!!! pls understand ---
Hinata's love (and herself as well) is just so... pure :") i just love her so much :"""))

That is why back then in 2015 (after The Last movie released) when I know Naruto ended up with Hinata i literally screamed -- i was soooooo happy MY SHIP FINALLY SAILED⛵⛵⛵⛵
And Sakura ended up with Sasuke! Shikamaru with Temariiiii!!! Omoooooo how could i not be happier? All is well :")
-----------

Back again, so why do i love Naruto so much?
Naruto's storyline is so heartwarming and not only his own story but also other character's as well. I think ive explained this on my previous post about Naruto (ive put the link above :P )

So why did i post about Naruto again this time? Well, actually, in the previous post, i wrote when i only watched the Naruto part I and i only mentioned some who's a "good" character. Now after I watched Shippuden, including the fillers, I realized i misjudged some characters. LoL. How could i even write a post without knowing all the truth?! (again -- im so mad at myself)

Funny thing about Naruto, even the bad characters will teach you something. Come to think of it, i think there is no one literally "bad characters" in Naruto, even the villain's motive is they want to bring peace in the world! --- How could you be mad about that?! --- Back then, i dont know Itachi's truth, i dont know Konan-Yahiko-Nagato backstory, i dont know Kakashi's past, i dont know Obito, i dont know all the Jinchuurikis, etc!!! I only wrote based on the characters i knew in Naruto Part I. And i (personally) feel burdened if i dont dedicate a special thank you note for all these characters.

I honestly want to write what each characters has taught me throughout this anime, but i guess someone has explained it very well on comment section of one video. Just when i listened The Last ending soundtrack in youtube, I found this comment :


This comment pretty much sums up what i want to write in my personal thank you note,
which motivates me to write this dedicated post in the first place.

So thank you --
Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi sensei, Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya sensei, Tsunade-sama, Itachi, Neji, Iruka sensei, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Lee, Tenten, Guy sensei, Asuma sensei, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Kurenai sensei, Obito, Rin, Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, Yamato captain, Killer Bee & all the Bijuu and Jinchuuriki, Hashirama, Tobirama, Sarutobi, All the Kages, Shishui, Haku, Guren, Yukimaru, and all characters in Naruto & Naruto Shippuden that i cant mentioned one by one here.

most importantly,
thank you, Naruto;
thank you for teaching me its okay to dream big, and never give up of your own dreams and to never give up of the people you love as well.

thank you, Naruto.
you've grown up to be a fine man, a fine dad, a nation hero, and not to mention the best Hokage which surpassed your predecessors. you have achieved your dream! and i need to work on mine now.

thank you, Naruto.
i will forever love you 
i hope my plan to watch you again with my kids in the future will come true.

lets talk about Naruto (again)

still my most favorite bday gift
given to me for my 19th by WM 


Hello!
wow, been a while since i wrote in here the last time..

anyway, today is a special date: 20102020
people said it is "tanggal cantik";
and guess what it is?!

yes, it's my birthday! horray for meee!~
---
well, im usually not that excited for birthdays, 
as I got older, i feel like birthday is a small reminder that we're getting closer into an adulthood, and its actually scary... hahaha.

but not gonna lie, i do love birthdays.
each birthday has its own special memory.
---
i actually want to write one post for each birthdays since ages ago, but never got an idea how to write it lol. so let me write this post as a ransom for a plan that was never accomplished.

let's take a walk down memory lane from 2013, shall we?~

 
these photos are taken on my 18th birthday.
20 October 2013.

pertama kalinya ulang tahun jauh dari rumah.
pertama kalinya ngerayain ulang tahun dengan "orang-orang baru".
I actually didn't expect to get a surprise cake from SI-F,
i mean --- who am i to even expect? we barely know each other at that time.
i cant say im already that close with everyone, but man! these people are SOOOO sweet!!
padahal gue udah membayangkan ulang tahun pertama 'jauh dari rumah' akan sangat ga seru karena ga ada yang tau ulang tahun gue... but i guess God wont let me feel alone in my special day :'))
im so happy i could cry. Allah baik banget :")

i think my bday was the first ever to celebrate with SI-F, and we celebrate everyone's birthday ever since. and oh! the funny thing is, dihari ini gue jadi tau kalo ada orang yang ulang tahunnya barengan sama gw!! jadi ada temen sekelas yang ultahnya dihari yang sama (we call him 'Kitty' but actually his name is Rizsky lol) jadinya tuh kue yang tadinya met ultah Via, 'Via'-nya diapus sama anak2 krn gaenak sama Kitty wkwk! 
anyway, i'm so happy i got this class for my first semester! 


2nd birthdays in Malang: 19th birthday!
20 October 2014
di ulang tahun gue yang ke 19 ini dimana gue dapetin kado terlucu, yang gue pasang diawal post ini.
this bday was the cutest one!

diawali jam 12 malem dapet kue dari temen2 kosan, terus ga beberapa lama ternyata Bimo, Rendi, Rico, Via Diah, etc ternyata katanya juga didepan kost mau ngasi kue jugaa! tapi kasiannn belum juga sempet gue samperin ternyata pada diusir pak RT soalnya berisik WKWK :'D  (yhaa maklum depan kost gue itu rumah pak RT wkwk) akhirnya cuman Clara, Via Diah, sama Amirah aja yang masuk ke kost mewakili untuk ngasi kue~

terus gue inget banget 20 Okt 14 itu weekdays dimana kita ada jadwal kuliah siang, soalnya gue bete siang2 abis kuliah WM pada langsung ilang semua dan gue ga diajakin, jadi gue ga ada temen makan bareng...wkwk tapi eh tapiii ternyata gue ga diajakin makan siang karena mereka sibuk bikin kado nempelin foto2 dan masang ditembok kamar kost gue. gue baru pulang dari kampus itu agak sorean sih klo gasalah, dan karena bete WM pada ilang siang tadi jadinya gue ga ngeh kalo ada sesuatu yang baru menggantung ditembok kamar. Udah sampe mandi dll gue tetep ga comment apa2, ampe akhirnya gue disadarin Clara/Winda buat ngeliat dinding kamar, and there it was!! my gift~ hahahaha mon maap ya guys emg ga peka anaknya :') terus malemnya WM ngajak nongki di Topping, gue udah ngeduga kayaknya gue bakal dikasi kue nich, yauda ikutin aja. and to my surprise trnyata didepan kost udah ada anak acara pada kumpul bawa kue! huuu terima kasyiii seneng bingitsss <3 tapi sayangnya gabisa lama sama anak acara soalnya ya emg udah janji sama WM di Topping kan...

di Topping gue kira gue bakal dikasi kue ama WM, trnyata tidak guys :')
kita cuman makan, nongki, ngomongin orang(?) ahaha seperti biasa, sampe jam stgh 12an klo ga salah, bahkan sampe dah mau pulang tetep ga dapet kue :") kepedean akuh. yauda deh kita pulang ke kost masing2, terus pas udah sampe depan wocil (kost gw namanya Griya Wocil), eeeeeh trnyata pada buntutin dibelakang tuh WM dan bawa kuee! hahaha
ternyata emang pada sengaja ga ngasi di Topping soalnya katanya kalo ngasi pas disana udah ketebak ama gue.. yasalammm :')  tapi kita cuman bisa bentar aja tuh (mengingat takut diusir pak RT wkwkwk)  jadi foto-foto bentaran doang, potong kue, terus masuk dehh ke kost. thank u all, i loveee that day 


3rd birthdays in Malang: 20th birthday!
20 October 2015

by this time i already have a boyfriend (cieehh), so this bday was quite different.
this is the sweetest and most romantic bday ever :')
jujur agak bolot guys pada awalnya, soalnya kan buat ke taman ini tuh gue disuruh naik mobil sambil mata gue ditutup kain. jadi pas udah nyampe taman tuh mata gue agak siwer lol pas gue buka kain penutup matanya, gue gabisa baca tulisannya... gue cuman liat pokoknya ada lilin2 banyak. ternyata eh ternyata salah angle guys WKWKWKK jadi harus keatas dikit untuk ngeliat tulisan lilin2 ini apaan.. ternyata tulisannya HBD VIA uuuuuu unyu sekali~

kali ini WM numpang ikutan aja dengan bawa kue tersendiri guys kaga pada ngide wkwkwk, and i also got some new best-friends as we call it "team Tipang" a.k.a Roti Panggang soalnya by that time emang kita jualan tipang wkwk :")
thank u for Arif Bimo Winnetou and everyone 
bonus from this little angel:

4th birthdays in Malang: 21st birthday!
20 October 2016

kali ini ngerayain bday-nya pas hari H ga cuman sama WM aja, tapi udah 'berkembang' jadi grup Ayam Arip++ hahaaha makin banyak orangnya! and what special about this bday is that i got another family to celebrate my bday with!

I remember at that time 2 hari setelah bday tuh gue waktunya liburan sama Infokom di Batu.
yang gue inget tuh..  jadi kan kita sewa villa 2 tingkat gitu, nah malemnya we supposed to have dinner dimana harusnya pada masak tapi gatau pada ilang smua woy?! gue ditinggal ribet masak sendiri.. keterlaluan memang :"")) trnyata eh ternyata pada ribet ngumpetin kue & niup2in balon di lt 2.. wkwk
udah beteee, gue teriakin tuh yha kan, woyyy ayo waktunya makan! dan dengan innocent-nya semuanya pada turun bawa kue, balon, dan megang bunting flag happy bday sambil nyanyi2 dengan hebohnya.... emang yeee sa ae pada2 bikin gue luluh. and oh! this wasnt for me only, kebetulan banget I partnered with Kitty (inget ga org yang ultah barengan gw diawal2 post ini?!) as kadep-wakadep Infokom, so this surprise was meant for both of us.
tapi gimanapun, i was so happy, thank u guys 


next: 
22nd birthday!
20 October 2017

Kali ini ulang tahunnya udah bukan di Malang lagi :')
yes, i was a little sad.. haha karena jadinya ga serame bday2 sebelumnya.
this was the hardest bday because at that time me & my bf were broke WKWK (baru aja lulus, belom pada dapet kerjaan, ga dapet duit jajan...) and the gift from him was a mouse --- logitech mouse, bukan tikus yhaa!
but i remember the following week tuh gue ada janji ketemu sama WM++ di Kokas sebagai perdana hangout di Jakarta~ dan disitu gue & Bimo both dikasih J.co sama mreka. despite being broke, alhamdulillah i still got cakes hahaa :') thank u guys 


  
23rd birthday!
20 October 2018

Kali iniii what makes my bday special was I got to finally meet DVJI!! sebenernya itu ketemunya H-1 sih, but its okay to celebrate early right? :') udah lamaaa banget ga ketemu DVJI karena kepisah kuliah.
untuk hari H-nya, i actually didnt expect for anything tapi ternyataaa yang dateng ke rumah bukan Bimo ajaa!heheh :3 there were Clara, Winda, Isal, Dhanu; and I got to celebrate with others as well through video call. special thanks for Arif Bimo for gathering everyone! the next day my family gathered together and we eat pizzaaaa 


24th birthday!
20 October 2019

this time, i had "small" wishes: sushi as breakfast, walking at sunset while eating ice cream, and dancing by the edge of the beach. though i didnt get sunset, but i still got the others. it was special, i was happy!
thank u Arif Bimo for making all that happen.
the next day my sisters gathered everyone at home and bought me some pizza (again!haha).
but actually what makes this bday special was, beside to celebrate bday with boyfriend & fam, my 24th bday was also celebrated with another new group: PLP (not appropriate jika tau kepanjangannya :') wkwk) walaupun yhaa bukan pas hari H-nya sih.. but still, somehow it just makes me happy to celebrate a bday with new people every year. thank you guys 

now, my 25th birthday.
20 October 2020. 20102020.
a quarter of century.

the first time ever to experience a birthday during pandemic (LOL!) tapi semoga tahun depan udah ngga deh :(
kebetulan hari ini tuh weekdays, tapi nyokap siang2 tiba-tiba ngajak pergi ke Sentul. "Kebetulan lagi ultah kamu", katanya. dan kebetulan sorenya gue ga ada meeting2 lagi, yaudah cabut~
what special about this day is that---eventhough we dont get to enjoy the place because it was raining till evening---i realized, how lucky i was to spend my bday with my family, because not everyone can get that.
alhamdulillah. alhamdulillah. alhamdulillah.
thank God for your blessings :')


i hope i could still celebrate my next birthdays.
aamiin.

But in the end of the day,
I always asked myself,

Am I really in love with you,
Or I'm only in love 
....with the idea of you?

- V

a question i cant even answer

image source: tumblr

If it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
The excitement to see someone,
Even when there's plenty of people in the room.

If it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
The joy of talking nonsenses with the special one,
Because it feels like watching all flowers to bloom.

If it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
That it's possible for a human being to love;
deeply, silently,
Yet let the years pass by to consume.

If it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
How painful of the word "almost" is,
and how easily it can hurt just by hearing it.

And if it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
The feeling of heartbreak,
and the sadness in every seconds of it.


So yeah..
I guess I want to thank you too.

If it wasn't because of you,
I wouldn't have known,
That I'm able,
to through it all.

Aku tidak tahu mana yang lebih hebat ----
Bagaimana otak manusia bisa mengingat kembali kenangan saat mendengar nama seseorang,

Atau,

Bagaimana kekuatan sebuah nama itu sendiri; 
dimana satu nama dapat meninggalkan kesan yang berbeda dengan nama yang lainnya.

Yang jelas, aku tahu,

Saat aku mendengar namamu,
Hanya butuh sepersekian detik bagiku,
Untuk kembali mengingat 2014 lalu,

Dan berharap aku tidak menyerah semudah itu.
