smile! shoot!

nay ngedumel panjang lebar. udah hari sebelumnya dia kudu bangun pagi2 buta gara2 jam terbang paling awal, ehhh.. hari ini dia juga ga bisa molor gara2 kudu didandanin buat foto hari ini. duh, apesnya nasib jadi seorang perempuan. ga heran kalo keluar ungkapan "kudu sengsara kalo mau cantik" *sigh*

pagi2 buat tukang dandannya udah dateng. ngutek2 rambut ama wajah nay. ngubek2 lamaaaa banget ampe nay penasaran. ngedandanin aja lama banget. diapain aja mukanya ini? dan nay kudu bersabar ria. soalnya ini make up bakalan nempel di mukanya seharian ini. duh.. udah kebayang susahnya ntar malem kalo pas ngebersihin muka. dempulan di wajahnya ini pasti tebel banget. kenapa sih kudu didempul tebel2?

akhirnya nay sampe juga di lokasi foto pertama. dan sialnya, si fotografer milih baju paling susah. gaun dan high heelsnya itu. hadohh... nay susah payah pake gaunnya. belon lagi gaunnya masih kadang kudu melorot aja bawaannya. trus apesnya si nay, ada tamu2 pula di tmp foto pertama itu, jadinya banyak yg lalu lalang ngeliatin dia. berasa jadi artis mendadak. pake dicuri2 foto segala. nyadar ga sih kalo nay ini bukan artis? pergi gih..pergi.. nay jadi risih. tp untungnya saat acara foto2 dimulai, semua penonton tak diundang itu hilang. dan para fotografer ternyata lumayan konyol juga, sehingga nay mulai bisa tertawa lepas dan menikmati acara jadi model sehari ini. lumayan juga.. biarpun pegel semua kakinya gara2 haknya yang ketinggian. nay jd separo merutuk tinggi badannya yang kurang itu. biarpun dia tergolong tinggi, tp berhubung manusia satu itu lebih tinggi jauh darinya, terpaksa nay butuh bantuan agar tinggi mereka tidak selisih jauh.

di tempat kedua, panas sudah mulai menyengat. keringat pun deras mengalir. tantangan kedua adalah sinar matahari. selain panas, sinarnya yang terlalu terang sehingga kadang mata jadi pedas dan silau. tp nay hepi2 aja. apalagi mereka diminta bergaya fun. bersenang2 di pantai. segala kekauan akibat foto formal di tempat pertama pun hilang. tertawa pun lebih lepas.
[gitu lo nay... lain kali, kalo bisa seterusnya.. kamu senyum terus kayak gini.. yaaaa]
nay jadi mati kutu. ga tau harus ngejawab apa. dia pun tetap tersenyum, karena masih diinstruksikan begitu. tapi dalam hati ia mulai salting.

"ayo nay... senyum yang lepas.. jangan kyk kelolotan hiu gitu.. "
nay jd ngakak lebar2 denger komentar para fotografer yg aujibile adaaaa ajaa.. jangan2 jd fotografer itu kudu punya keahlian sampingan yaitu ngelawak. lama2 rasa kikuk nay makin hilang. tp nay masih risi kadang.
"dempetan... rangkulnya yang mesra dikit dongg... nayy... ngglendot dong.. yang manja2 jg gpp.. mo dikiss jg gpp.. kan udah gede.. kita gak papa kok.."
gak papa jidatmu..dumel nay. apa enaknya mesra2an ditonton sejuta umat? males banget dah...

[loh.. gak papa lo katanya..]
[ehhhh..enggak mau.. awas lu] ancam nay galak
dia cuma ketawa aja mendengar ancaman nay. tidak sekalipun ia mengendorkan lengan yang mengitari tubuh nay.
[bagus ya nay... rasanya tenang damaiiii banget]
nay mengangguk setuju. tempat yang terakhir ini emang bagus banget. rasanya ga kepengen pulang aja. lautnya begitu biru. ombak yg berdebur di bawah tebing ini pun tidak terlalu ramai. pasirnya putih di kejauhan. bukit ini pun penuh dengan hamparan rumput yang hijau. kontras dengan birunya langit yang disinari mentari yang terik. walaupun mereka harus berpanas2 menanti turunnya matahari agar sinarnya pas, tp tak apa, pemandangannya cukup memuaskan hati. tidak dapat tergantikan dengan uang berapa pun

[i wish we could stay like this... forever]
we will.. we will my dear..

we're going to ibiza!

seminggu lagi... nay menghitung dalam hati. seminggu lagi.. dan dia akan liburrr... yeyyy.. bodo amat kalo liburnya gara2 meliburkan diri sendiri alias cuti et causa mau foto prewed. wakakkaa.. pokoknya dia libur.. libur... liburrrr.... tp mendadak nay mules. dia ingat, bukannya dapet gaun sewa gratisan ya dari salon? lah.. kapan nyobanya ya? dia garuk2 kepalanya yang ga gatal. buru2 dia mencari kartu nama salonnya dan segera menelepon. hufff... untungnya salonnya bisa buat janji bsk..kalo ndak? bisa2 dia gigit  jari deh. sekarang dia kudu ngejar tukang fotonya neh.. katanya bakal nyariin tukang lenong, tp kok ga ada kabar?

[nay... kenalin nih makeup artist kenalanku. tp ini asli sini, jd kudu bayarin tiket ama akomodasi deh. tp orangnya asik kok. coba km kontak dulu deh]
panjang umur ini orang... baru juga dirasani, eh.. udah sms. ya udah, langsung aja nay mengkontak orang itu. lagi sregep. hahaaa.. maklum, semangat berlibur masih menggebu. nay langsung melotot dan keselek begitu liat nominal yang tertulis di layar hpnya setelah ada balasan dari makeup artist itu. busett... mo bikin dia kere mendadak apa? wong nay udah berusaha ngirit2 supaya ntar sisa duitnya bisa buat jalan2 dan makan2 setelah foto.. eh..buat make up aja kudu bayar segini?? ogah ah.. tp nay jg ga bisa merias diri sendiri. hadohhh.. nay mengutuk. kenapa sih kudu ribet begini??

mulai deh, hp ama telpon, FB, twitter dan segalanya dikerahkan demi mencari info seorang makeup artist yg layak tp terjangkau. bodo amat separo meksa dan ngoyo...lha wong dia emang lagi dikejar tenggat waktu. buset.. dalam waktu seminggu neh. kudu nyoba baju dan nemuin tukang lenong dari jarak sekian ratus ribu kilometer jauhnya. modal nekat ama percaya aja neh jadinya. lha wong hasil lenongan sono aja dia kagak tau.. nay berbekal pede aja. pokoknya semua hasil lenongan itu tergantung kanvas aslinya. kalo asalnya udah kagak sip ya didempul model gimana pun tetep gak sip.. ya ga sih?? hahaha.. *separo kepedean juga* nay separo keki juga, lagi masa2 genting begini.. eh..dia malah ditinggal pergi ke luar kota. pas dilapori, jawabnya juga enteng " kan yang butuh dimake up kamu nay..." haiihhhhh... bikin ngejitak aja bawaannya.

pas mo nyoba baju juga gitu. nay udah separo ngotot ke salonnya. untungnya stylist dr tukang foto juga tepat waktu dan lebih ngotot dari dia. hahaha... separo terselamatkan. yg kasihan adalah mbak salonnya. terpaksa ngeladeni mereka dalam waktu singkat. bayangin aja. kurang dari sejam, udah kepilih ama udah ngepas gaun yang bakal dipake buat foto. lusanya fitting ulang. trus kalo oke bakal langsung diboyong. mbaknya mungkin separo mbatin, ngimpi apa dia semalam... hehehee..

singkat cerita, datanglah hari itu. pagi2 buat nay udah dibangunin alarmnya. manusia satu itu pilih jam terbang paling pagi, jadi nay kudu bangun pagi2 buta. ayam aja belon bangun, mereka udah kudu berangkat ke airport. tp gpp.. separo merem, nay mengingat lagi.. berlibur nay.. waktunya santai... 3 hari ini have fun..

[nay.. open your eyes.. look outside]
nay membuka matanya. sejauh matanya memandang, hanya kehijauan yg nampak. dan ia bisa melihat sinar matahari menembus langit di sekitar pesawat yang membawanya. hmmmm... surgaaaa..., batin nay. eventhough it's just a short getaway, we're going to ibizaaaa!!!!

chasing harry winston? not really..

"loh... harus ada berliannya mbak... kan diamond itu simbol keabadian.. jd supaya pernikahannya abadi gitu.. lgan, isn't diamond a girl's best friend? justru banyak cewek2 yg minta digedein lo mbak.."
"kayak bakal dipake aja... udah.. pokoknya kan buat foto doang. abis gitu belon tentu juga dipake. keseringan cuci tangan, lepas pasang bolak balik malah beresiko ilang" jelas nay panjang lebar
"makanya mbak.. maunya digantungin aja di lehernya.. kayak peneng gitu.. makanya ada ga yg ada belnya? kan sapi biasanya pake gantungan yg bunyi tuh.. kyk di tipi2.."
bletakkkk... nay lgsg memonyongkan bibirnya. enak aja dia disamain kayak sapi. haiss.. kenapa sih penjaga toko ini ga mau kooperatif aja ama dia? kenapa juga kudu cincin yang cewe hrs ada berliannya? emang ada peraturan tertulisnya? nggak kan? emang ada undang-undang percincinan yg menyatakan cincinnya harus ada berliannya? haiss.. kebanyakan mitos orang2 ini...

[kenapa coba kalo yg cowo gpp ga pake berlian, tp kalo yg cewe ga bisa?]
[ya kalo ga ada berliannya, belinya ga harus di sini nay.. namanya juga toko emas dan berlian.. ya harus jual berlian lah...
[hahaha...pinter masnya..]
nay makin monyong lagi.. ini penjaga toko emang minta dijitak. ga mendukung dirinya sama sekali.

paling ndak nay rada lega, kalungnya bakal polosan untuk sementara, sampe mereka merit, paling nggak dia bisa tenang2 aja. ternyata nasib ga berpihak padanya.
[whaaaaattttt?????] seandainya mata nay bisa meloncat keluar, mungkin matanya udah meloncat bareng dengan pita suaranya saking kagetnya.
[tenang..tenang... ga usah berlebihan gitu nay..]
[loh..loh...katanya dulu ga usah pake liontin..cincinnya aja yg dijadiin liontin. kok sekarang jd gini?]
[loh, ya ga tau.. tanya aja ama mamiku sendiri..] jawabnya sambil cengar-cengir. bikin nay bikin menjitak manusia satu ini aja..
[emm.. km liat ga modelnya gimana?]
[pokoknya berkilau nay..] jawabnya sambil tersenyum lebar.

aararrrrggghhhh.. nay pingin gigit jari aja rasanya. diamond probably a girl's bestfriend, but not her. she's not quite well with jewelry. in fact, the only jewelry on her body are her earrings. other than that, nothing. but now? oh mooo... should she wear it everyday? or she could wear it on the D day only? she doesn't know. mgkn sekarang dia pengen mengutuk pembuat berlian deh. kenapa kudu dibuat berkilau dan mahal banget. dan kenapa para cewek2 itu doyan sih? haiss... sekarang dia cm bisa pasrah.

she felt the coldness of the stone on her skin. it's cold. and it's shiny. of course. she felt it under her fingers. she couldn't believe that it's finally happened. they're finally engaged for sure. and it's sealed by that precious stone hanging on her neck. hmmpphhh... she can only sigh. perhaps she should wear it for a day or two more days.. after all, she doesn't chase the harry winston. it's just a bonus.

red riding hood

"that's red riding hood!" ceplos nay spontan saat melihat trailer film di televisinya. astaga, udah berapa lama cerita itu tidak didengarnya lagi? sekarang malah mo dibuatin versi filmnya. jalan ceritanya jg mirip pula. tp mgkn cocok sekarang, soalnya lg musim vampir ama werewolf, gara2 trilogi twilight. she looks pretty in that red hood. and talking about red, diam2 nay sebel juga. dulu pas awal2 rencana belum dibuat, mereka sepakat ga bakal ada tradisional2nya blas. jd bye2 red dress.. but now? apalg setelah mereka ke tempat katering..duh..serasa mimpi buruk aja.

"harus ada 8 hidangan.."

begh.. jumlah hidangan aja ada aturannya. mulai dr sup, trus ayam, sapi, sayur, ikan, trus ga tau deh apa lagi. nay jd pusing 7 keliling. sapa sih yg bikin aturan ruwet begini? untung aja they only agree to do the simple one. cakes and packages, just for being photographed. but unfortunately, dari yg sepakat no red attire, jd pake baju merah. sialnya...itu orang setuju2 aja.. bikin keki.

[iihhh..kok ketawa2 sih?]

[lohhh...trus aku hrs gimana? km hrs liat mukamu sendiri nay...]

[grr.r...awas kamu. kalo aku kudu pake baju merah, km dewe jg harus pake merah2. entah kemejane ato dasine, pokoke kudu ada seng merah. awas lek ga pake]

[loh..loh..loh..kok aku melok diancam? hahaa..iya2..]

[sigh.. haiss.. knp tiba2 jd ruwet begini.. huuu..]

[nay in red gowns...very highly anticipated...wkwkkwkww]

[awasssss...]

but the feeling when she tried those gowns are unforgettable. she felt like princess. with the hem of the dress flowing around her ankles. her bare shoulder felt the breeze of the air. and of course, how he appreciated it when she showed it to him. sayangnya.. nay isn't that kind of girl. she's not used to gowns like these. and after finding the perfect one, she still needs couple times to get used to it. berusaha ga tersandung, bodo banget rasane. and those heels..gosh.. why those girls are willing to bear the suffering wearing those heels? kakinya serasa jerit2 waktu dia harus memakainya.

[sometimes i wish u're not this tall.. i hate it.. aku jd harus pake ridiculous heels so our height differenve won't be that much]

[hahahhaa... salah sendiri kenapa ga tinggi.. weks]

[aarrrghhhh....]

[hahahahhaha...]

[ihhh...ketawa melulu....]
[ya udah..gimana kalo gini...]
and her heart skipped a beat when he got down on one knee. and reached her hand, held it close and looked back at her.
[nay.. would you marry me?]
oh myyyy.... she couldn't belive it..she knew he was a romantic freak sometimes..but..this? proposed her on one knee? it's just like in the movie..though she never thought that she would be asked like that. she just stunned and freezed..
[nay... errr... you don't have to answer it now.. so...can i get up now? my knee's killing me..]
[hahaha.. sorry...]
[but i do appreciate if you answered it right away..]
[hmmm...]
[nay?]
[of course dear... can't you guess?]
[i can, but i want to hear it from you yourself]

well..i guess with this ring, wedding bells are closer than i thought. oh gosh.. clock is ticking..

(maybe) i do..

hmm...nay lmyn ngiler belanja novel stl liat banyak sinopsis menarik di toko buku hr ini;.tp dia cm dapet libur sehari, masa beli banyak? kpn sempet bacanya? tp kalo hrs milih, milih yg mana??? semuanya kayaknya seru dan menarik. and somehow she's craving for love story, something that can help her, maybe to motivate her and help her thinks about how to react to the proposal.. well, it might just an engagement proposal, but she still has to answer right?

dan saat ia melihat pria itu, sesuatu mengaduk-aduk isi perutnya. tatapan matanya begitu tajam sehingga Lorna tersipu dan memalingkan wajahnya. pria itu memang seperti titisan dewa, kulitnya yang coklat seperti terbakar sempurna oleh matahari. badannya atletis dan tegap, dengan otot yang menonjol tanpa lemak sedikit pun. raut wajahnya pun tergurat dengan sempurna, seakan Tuhan lupa meletakkan sedikit kekurangan pada pria itu.

Lorna pun tidak dapat menahan diri untuk membayangkan, bagaimana seandainya jika tangan-tangan kekar tersebut memeluk dirinya. Lorna langsung bergidik. tidak, dia tidak boleh membiarkan pria itu tahu dirinya kini sedang membayangkan dipeluk oleh pria itu.

damn, batin nay. novel2 ini begitu mudah. seakan2 tiap pria sempurna yg ditemui tiap tokoh utama wanita adalah seorang yg sempurna dan tiada cacat cela. romantis, tampan, kaya mapan, berpendidikan. heroik. dan hebat di tempat tidur. ciuman dahsyat, percintaan hebat tiada akhir. mudah sekali. seems like on count of three, you'll find your soulmates.

nay ngedumel, seandainya hidupnya mudah seperti itu. ga pake repot2. tinggal bilang, Tuhan, pesen duplikat eric mun satu ya, kirim lgsg ke depan rumah, ga pake repot. lgsg bilang kalo dia mau merit ama aku. ga usah pake proses pacaran dan berpikir2 dulu. karena udah pasti cowok itu soulmatenya. sekarang ia bingung. harus dijawab apaan neh?

dulu, she answered yes because that's the most logical thing to do. but now, as time passes by, she started to feel something for him. she missed him. and she's comfortable being with him. and it looks like she never had enough time to be with him. she often wishes that time would stop, she could be with him longer. but she doesn't know, is that the clue that he's the one? the right person? her prince in his shining armor riding the white horse?

and thinking again about their physical contacts. she loved being hugged by him, like being hugged by a giant bear, but a loving and tame one. she loved his scent, loved his touch, how he caressed her hair. how he planted the kiss on her forehead. how he whispered those calming words to her. and yes, they've kissed. it might not the sparkling one that she always watches on those movies, but somehow she gets addicted to it. he's so sweet. and thinking again about all the things he's done for her, she couldn't imagine what her life would be without him.

[napa nay?]

[ndakk...]

[ehm..kalo gitu...soal yg kmrn...]

[kmrn yg mana?]

[nayyy!!]

[ahahahaha...iya2...]

[kamu ini yaaa]

[hehehhee....]

[jadi?]

[do u still need to ask?]

[i have assumption, but i'd better hearing it from you directly]

[well...the answer is...yes, but ...]

[fiuh...but what?]

[but not until i pass my exam]

[soo....the end of this year?]

[ok then]

evergreen

nay ngedumel panjang pendek. ini alergi super nyebelin. bolak balik dia diketawain anak2 gara2 bersin bolak balik, beruntutan pula. abis gt sekarang malah meler..haiyooo...nyebelin deh. belon lagi vertigo bego yg tiba2 dateng ga diundang. semua rasanya bergoyang2 ga karuan. untunge telinganya ga ikut2an berdenging, kalo ga..lengkap sudah deh penderitaannya. sebel, ngapain sih ini sakit datang? minggu lalu dia udah panas dingin ga karuan. setelah dapet libur sehari, udah mendingan. eh...krn lembur ga karuan lagi dia ketularan temen sekantornya lagi. sebel banget. padahal bsk dia libur, pengen nonton..tp lha kok malah sakit?? bego..bego...bego....

[km sakit gini lo nay...]
[ayooo...gak papa..kalo ga kapan lagi sempet nonton?? pokoke kudu nonton..]
[ya ntar sore kan bisa..]
[ntar sore iya lek aku isa kebangun, kalo ga? udah teler gini juga..]
[haiyaaa...dasarrr... sapa coba yg rock-headed sekarang?]
[iya..aku..tp abis gini kan aku lgsg tidur kayak batu.. yakin deh.]
[hmmmpphhh...ya udah..]

sialan, harusnya nay knows better. movies is colder than her office. buset..biarpun udah pake jaket, rasane dingin banget. sial, rasanya ngilu sampe ke tulang2. but at least she could be with him a little bit longer. and couple days later, as they were having a meal together, there were an elder couple, sitting together, enjoying their meal. no smiles exchanged, but they were patient about each other. she was wondering, how old are they? how long have they been married? and is that rumor about being like siblings as you married longer is true? suddenly there are questions in her head, which screwed her head more besides the headache and the vertigo. ahh..and don't forget the flu either.

[i was wondering, will we be like them in the future? will we still be crazy about each other? or will we be like siblings just like everyone says?]
[i don't know, but all i know, i will keep in mind that i'm crazy about you and i will keep that thinking in the future]

maybe i can't guarantee eternity, but all i know i will try

put a ring on it

[through this sms, i gather all you guys for a girls out..awas kalo kagak ikutan..haram hukumnya]
begh..nay pengen rasanya mengeluarkan sumpah serapah. anak2 ini yaa....kayak kagak tau aja gimana kerjaannya sedang ruwet2nya..sedang sibuk2nya, pake ngadain acara kumpul2 pula. mana di tengah kota pula.. eitss...salah, untungnya pas di tengah kota. hmm..dia kudu liat jadwalnya nih, lagi ada tugas ke mana dia hari itu? hmm..kayaknya Tuhan emang lagi kepengen dia nggosip bareng cewek2 itu..dia lagi ada tugas ke daerah tengah kota. bagus deh, buyar kerja dia bakal nerus ngoceh ampe masuk angin bareng cewek2 itu. dipikir2 lagi..dia kangen jg ama temen2nya. she knew, it's just a while ago since their last gathering, but she missed them already. how she wished she could have the time to spare for her friends. but now, her job is so demanding. huff..so much about saving money...

[oi..mau ikutan?]
[ya lek ada cowo laine sih gpp..]
[ok then]
but lady fortune didn't work that far. she only made it for her, not for him also. turned out that no guys coming and he couldn't leave his work either, so she went to that gathering herself. all the laughing..the mocking..how she missed those moments. they could laugh happily, chattering about stuff without burdens. they forget about their job, about their still uncovered future, about almost everything. they just chat, laugh, tease each other and of course...eat like they never eat in years.

[oi..if ur gathering has finished, meet me up will ya?]
buset..nay ngintip jam tangannya. jam berapa nih?? ini orang katanya mau langsung pulang, kok malah sms ngajak ketemu?? mo ngapain sih?? hmm...ya udah deh, nay udah apal tabiatnya, jadi dia nggak mau berdebat utk suatu hal yg udah pasti hasil akhirnya. dia bakal keseret somehow. so, mending diturutin aja deh.. kali ini nay rela mengalah.

she's full already, but extra ice cream won't do any harm. she still has no clue about what he's planning to do. and then she thought, maybe she just want to meet up with her. nothing else. but then, as they were talking and talking, out of nowhere, he grabbed her hand, forcing her to meet up his gaze. she looked at her, puzzling..
[nay...would u be my fiancee?]

glodak...nay ngerasa ada pohon beringin besar runtuh menimpa mobilnya, menimpuk kepalanya. andai engsel rahangnya jebol, mungkin rahang bawah nay udah tergeletak di lantai.
[nay...just think about it..okay?? u don't have to answer right now]
hell yeah, i'll make u wait for the answer..after surprising me with asking. last time, i only let u suffer throughout the dinner, this time...it will be longer..

all the single ladies...all the single ladies.... put a ring on it... *beyonce singing*
