Remember the day we promised to meet at that hallowed nook
I got off my bike and there I noticed you in just a slight look
My skin radiated intense heat as if it was ready to cook
You were right in front of me and suddenly heavy breath was all I took

I shouted your name then you turned around smiling
Oh fuck I hope the earth would open up swallowing
I couldn’t hide how my top to toe were trembling and sweating
The I-miss-you seed inside me blushing, blossoming, exploding

We caught up on stuff during those years we grew apart
Feeling high of the fact that finally we could restart
You touched my fingers and it warmed my heart
I hope for the time to stop ticking, baby I wished hard

But the night fell and we couldn’t stay forever
I walked beside you hoping God let us come together
Having faith that you were the only possible answer
To all the things I put into words in my prayer

Suami, ini istri.

Tepat 5 tahun lalu jam-jam segini, kita berdua resmi jadi suami istri. Aku berkebaya ungu, kamu berjas senada. Aku gemuk, kamu kurus. Dan sekarang, aku masih gemuk dan kamu ikutan gemuk. #eeaak

Aku merasa pengen nulis ini karena bersyukur kita bisa mencapai angka 5 tahun berumah tangga. Masih muda, kalah sama orangtua kita yang bersama selama puluhan tahun. Mereka hebat dan kuat ya menjalani hidup bersama yang pastinya nggak melulu tentang bahagia, tapi ada amarah, luka dan airmata.

Hai! Seperti yang saya tulis di Facebook, Instagram dan Twitter, bulan November kemarin lumayan bermakna buat saya. Berturut-turut 17 November 2006 adalah tanggal di mana saya dan Yuswo resmi pacaran, 18 November 2010 pertama kali blog TerongGemuk dibuat dan 19 November 2011 pernikahan saya dan Yuswo berlangsung. Iseng-iseng, saya pun mengadakan kuis kecil yang hadiahnya beberapa kartu pos, produk Bath & Body Works dan voucher belanja di Alfa.
