Past- Present- Future: life goes on!


Last Wednesday at Ohlala café, I met one of my best friends from my junior and high school-- a cute and lovely long haired chubby baby who was used to be an announcer on a youngster radio station in Bandung and was also been ‘sacrifice’ her self to puke celebrities’ life up on a national TV station (if you tend to be an infotainment freak you might recognize her -almost-sounds-like Ade Herlina- jolly voice reporting hot updated happening celebrities’ rumors) until she finally got better job as a media planner on a local advertising agency.
After all uproar chit-chat that spontaneously ‘blasted’ because of our great excitement of seeing each other that night (yes we finally met after several failed appointment and I bet you can guess what the topic of our conversation was: love and life, for sure) – we were promise to make this rendezvous to be held regularly twice a month *hopefully could be accomplished well, ya?*

Anyway, several months before we met on that last Wednesday, we were also had a little gathering at Blend café plus our another one best friend—a –let-me-call-her- Miss Love Loyal; a sweet patient and calm girl who’s been one step ahead spiritually by wearing jilbab for about the last 3 years and has been in a relationship for 7 years (let me repeat it, SEVEN years!! *what a long journey you’ve been!!* and please do not compare her long term successful relationship with mine *hiks*).
We were so enthusiast on the enthusiasm of gathering that day; talking about love (that was the 50% of our chit-chats and it’s all about boys, boys and boyss...), life (40% contains our past, present life and future’s plan incl. gossip *hey, no.. it’s a FACT!*, ha-ha) and some not-too-important to be discussed stuffs (the rest 10% was just discussing girl stuffs like style, foods and so on).

Three of us were from the same junior high school and also the same high school yet not too close enough to be called as ‘friends’ after being much more closer on the third grade of high school. Moreover, I and Miss Love Loyal (ha-ha, I bet Djuwi will also be laughing out loud reading this nickname, *sorry Windaaa…*) were from the same elementary school but had never been a classmate though.
Well, what I am going to tell you is- just imagine this: we were almost be “together” in our entire life; we were used to talk about unimportant things every time we met- just nothing but make ourselves laughing or whatsoever. And now, guess what- we absolutely had no idea that one day (which is our last meeting) we’re going to talk about such a serious thing: L I F E. Life is simple, but complicated. Easy, but difficult. Relax, but serious. Obvious, but unpredictable. And we realized that we are facing ‘the real life of the life’ itself. Graduated from college, we’re all facing the next step to make ourselves closer to the real world in the future with all valuable experiences of life behind. So, what next??? What is going to be our next leap after graduated? (And I bet that the biggest leap of our life is marriage!!! *Hello windaaa… your wedding is in front of your eyes!!* ha-ha!)

Dear friends, do you remember your past? Just try to go flashback, rewind your memories and remind your self about your past; your childhood, your puberty, your school and college moments. I believe that you really had no idea about what is going to be on your present life now, especially your future.

Yes, once again, we’ll never know because life is such a mystery. It is full of surprises. So, I just want to say to all of you guys; Welcome to the real world, welcome to maturity, welcome to career, welcome to marriage, welcome to the future. Ha-ha!

Remember, we’ll never know what is going to be the day after today, even one second after you read this post. But Allah does. Good luck! :D
