Dan don’t forget to count me in.

Cepatlah sembuh, beib...
Istirahatlah yang cukup, kumpulkanlah tenaga kembali.
Tidurlah yang nyenyak dan bermimpilah yang banyak.
Tak usah ditambah meracau dan ah uh ah uh tak perlu. Simpanlah ah uh mu untuk acara lain yang lebih penting.
Makan yang banyak, kalau kau tak suka nasi lembek tanpa rasa itu, bayangkanlah palu basa yang membuat kita makan 5 kali sehari saat liburan dulu. Atau ikan sardin, makanan sederhana kesukaanmu.
Tapi jangan lama-lama terbaring lemah tak berdaya.
Sesungguhnya dirimu tak perlu semua selang itu. Kecuali selang iPod yang memang penting agar langkahmu senantiasa berirama.
Walaupun kamu bertemu suster-suster inspiratif yang mendapatkan beasiswa untuk kuliah di luar negeri, tapi tak usahlah berbetah-betah di kasur berseprai putih itu.
Kembalilah menari dan mengisi hidup ini dengan hal-hal berguna.
Menjadilah matahari dan menjalahi hari-hari dengan hasrat.

Semoga lekas kau baca tulisanku yang meracau ini. Oh tertular rupanya.
Ku harap ini bukanlah akibat kegiatan kita tebak-tebakan gambar t****t yg sungguh adult punya.

Pulau Peucang, 20 October 2007

Dear Babe,
            Been missing you very much. I’m here, in such a paradise, with 8 boys, and they are nothing compare to you. Uhm, most of them are my old friends, and connecting with them was like opening an old diary. Names, places and memories sometimes pop up in my head.
            If I’m not mistaken, we’ve been missing each other recently. I know there will be another session of running away from reality, only time will define. But, surely, I will do that again with you, babe. We are definitely a great team when it comes to the beach. We stuff our backpack with goggles, bikinis, mosquitos repellent, mineral water, MP3 player + portable speaker, bigframe sunglasses, teabags and of course thousand stories of our rollercoaster life.
            You are one of a rare kind that can enjoy the beach exactly the way I do. Some pepole can never enjoy the beach, they say beach is too hot and sticky and nothing challenging about it. Some people can enjoy it too much by diving into it and nevermind the sunset. While the rest afraid of the sun and prefer to go to the mall instead.
            I don’t know what is it with me and you and beach, babe. I love blue and beige colour. So the sky, the water, and the sand are perfect combination. I also enjoy the freedom of minimalize outfit to wear. A plain t-shirt, short and flip flops, that’s all you have to wear to enjoy the place. Ouw, and you know now I have started a set of bikinis collection.
            My friend, Blinky, once said, that the best way to enjoy the beach is to sit in a distance, not too far so you still can enjoy the breeze and the scenery, accompanied by a bottle of cold beer. For me, the best part of summer hodliday is when we have cups of tea or coffee, after all afternoon of swimming and getting our skin tanned. Our heart are still warm because of the sunset. Seems like the sun gives its shine for us before it take a rest for a while. The quiet of the evening and the sounds of our laughters. The way we manage to reach the shoreline and proof that our dark skin is still exotically attempting. Surely, I will repat it once more. Ah, this kind of missing you is too painful, babe.
            Please remind me one day, if we are old and too busy with our family life, that this kind of escapade is willing to be taken again. We couldn’t run forever babe, but at least knowing that you are exist in the world, make me realize that I’m not the only person who’s in love with the sea and worship it like crazy. Together we are strong babe. Jalesveva jayamahe. Haha.
            Still the question popped up in my head, what is it with you and me and the beach, Babe?

Love, as always,

Dita
