Good luck!

Pagi ini Deweu, sahabat saya sejak kuliah, pulang ke Bali. Dia adalah salah satu penerima beasiswa Sampoerna tahun ini. Rencananya bulan depan dia akan berangkat untuk melanjutkan sekolah di UCLA.

Belakangan ini, dia adalah sahabat yang paling sering menemani saya jalan. Gak heran kalau dia memberi saya gelar 'default'. Default teman jalan, hehehe. Berbeda dengan Setio, sahabat saya yang sangat teratur dan apa2 dipikirin *kayak mikir negara*, teman saya yang satu ini lebih spontan dan gak terlalu pikir panjang untuk hal-hal tertentu. That's why mana kala saya tidak berani cerita tentang kelakuan saya ke Setio - demi menghindari helaan napas panjang, omelan, atau kata-kata 'no comment', Deweu yang menjadi tempat cerita saya. Biasanya dia hanya ketawa-tawa, atau malah menambah bumbu-bumbu ...

Hmmm, ada a little bit rasa kehilangan juga. Gak ada teman yang nyamperin ke kost untuk sekedar nyari makan pagi, atau cerita-cerita bentar, sebelum kami masing-masing kembali ke kesibukan kami. Anyway, good luck buat Deweu ...

The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
