TO SHARE MY “MARVELOUS” LUNCH TIME WITH YOU, ADINDA MARU !
One ‘hottie’ day on my way to office, I made several call to your office, just wanted to reach you on my line. I did not know How I could miss you so desperately this time, and extremely hoped to get in touch with you, even if I could have a chance just by hearing your voice in minutes. But you were so busy , and I would not let give myself up, so I tried again and again.
Finally, You answered my call, by saying, “Yes Please, is there anything I can do for you ?”, just like the customer service’s standard answer. I surprisingly and a lil bit overwhelmed and replied, “Certainly ! Hmm.. How are you, Adinda ?”. I took a deep breath, and I guessed you did the same. We were in quiet for quite a second. I looked at my watch appointed to ten minute to twelve, a lunch time. Then we went to have a long talk during our telephone conversation. We shared many interesting topics, just like old friends lost of each other’s path. There were many questions and answers take turn, from me and you, a two way communication.
As I did not forget, Starting by congratulated you, as you had already delivered a baby – boy of your own, and asked you of his name. At a moment, you seemed reluctant to answer, but then, when the conversation went smooth, you finally told me about yourself, how you are, your son’s name, your performance, your work and career was doing, where you live, how’s your family, your parents etc.
I gave you the same pay, Adinda !, to tell you that I was just fine, though I had to run some medical checkup including my CT-Scan of brain after my second attack in my head, about my ended career and would like to start a new one next month, my school and my professional degree. During my story, you enthusiastically asked me several questions regarding the things you worried much about me, just like you always did, a long time ago. You showed how much you care for me, and implicitly reflected your affection and attention never disappeared.
That was the time, I finally told you the truth, about someone special who has come into my life after her. It was When you questioned me whether I was visiting your town somewhere in the past. I was a lil bit surprised, how could you know that. I remembered, that I visited your town just a week ago. I honestly told you, yes I was in your town with someone special a week ago. And I asked you how did you know that. You just said that You saw me somewhere. I forced you to tell me where, then you said, “I am tracing your bank account, and found that you stopped by here saving thru Service Assistant and withdrawal thru ATM here”. I was wandering when was the exact date I did it, As I could remember, that I did not did it, when I was visiting your town a week ago. Then I remembered !, It was in November last year !, Yes, Exactly !. So then we sank into a deep conversation about the Informal Counsel Meeting program that I carry out. And it leaded me to tell you about my Web development, and Program progress, About Jingga, who have helped me to hand over the second novel I wrote for you, as you asked me to explain who Jingga was.
I told you truly honest, how my relationship with someone special after you was going, though I did not work it out good, and ended already. You also, asked me in details who was the lucky woman I had after you, Was she someone you know in the past, or who ? I sensed your curiosity, Adinda. I told you the name, and briefly explained how it was going. I know you smiled and sighed!.
I also explained you how I poured out my desire of her thru the alphabetical journey along the way. I wrote about her in so well, gave my honor by writing most of the poems and story about how wonderful you are in my life. You appreciated it much, I know, and you were also proud of my career and educational degree achievement, as you expressed it constantly. You know what, Adinda ? I have told you, that I could reach them all, was just because of you and only for you. As I brought your good inspiration and your true love with me. It remains stay in my heart, still.
We have a GREAT MOMENT shared our lunch time together, Adinda ! A marvelous one ! As we could let loose our each other’s desire during our conversation. We could feel how the love we shared never disappear, How the care, attention and affection flowed in the times flew so fast. We realized that the wanting to not to be apart appeared by the silent you shared to me at the time I would like to hang up the phone. I reminded you to have your lunch immediately to stay fit and health. To told you that I will always keep on praying good for your happiness, prosperousness and peacefulness in your family and life. You just kept on silent and reluctantly hang up the phone. You enjoyed the moment like I did. I know, Adinda, You missed me a lot, and so did I. You missed my voice, as same as you always addicted to receive my phone calls. I convinced you once again, that you will always be in my heart, just like you, For I know, you have a long and lasting love for me.
I promised you to give you a call sometime, and tell you how my life is going, and if there will be any news especially for you. I also promised you to stop by at your office sometime I visit your town, to say you a “HI” and give you a “SMILE”. Once again, I reminded you to hang up the phone, you remained silent. Until I told you that I have reached Cawang and closely arrived at my office, you started to aware that we had to stop the line for the time being. And I looked at my watch, it was ten minutes to go to one o’clock in the afternoon. I thanked you so much, Adinda ! For everything you’ve done and had for me. As it always encourages me to face my life alone in the pour of good inspiration and true-love from you.
EPILOGUE
I was thinking a lot after then. I know you will always be there, Adinda Maru ! To remains the same, and would never change. To keep your promise and never break it, to maintain your heart and soul in the name of a true-love, no matter what it goes, whenever the time flies, Wherever we step ahead, whomever we share the life with, still we know who we are… We are indeed destined to have our long and lasting love for each other. We can feel it, just by having a soul-tight, though we have our real communication stopped, we can still share our relationship in a good quality of love, in a bowl of deep understanding and in maturity.
My lievhart Adinda Poppy Maru, You are the best ! and I DO LOVE YOU STILL.
