thanks guys!

Sebenernya, banyak hal terpendam mengenai kehidupan gue yang belom sempet ditulis di sini. Tentang beberapa masalah, pilihan, dan keputusan. Gue udah pengen banget ngetik. Tapi. Ada yang lebih penting, tiba-tiba.

Mari kita mengulang cerita indah itu lagi. =]

Tadi siang. Ceritanya lagi pelajaran kosong di 2a1. Pelajaran BI. Bu Wati. Thanks God pelajarannya kosong.

Gue, chika, erika, bajaj, somad, cumi dkk lagi duduk-duduk bahagia teriak-teriak sambil main Pancasila Lima Dasar. Tentang lagu. Tau ini permainan apa? Syukurlah. Hehe. Lagi seru-serunya ngomongin Dare kayaknya, tiba-tiba Chika keluarin sesuatu dari tasnya.

Gue sumpah gak peduli, sibuk sendiri. Trus tiba-tiba dia taruh itu di depan gue. Dan gue disuruh buka bungkusan itu.

"Hah? Punya siapa?"

"Buka bek, buat elu.."

HAH? Gak salah denger? Maksudnya apa? Ini barang punya siapa? Gak ngerti.

"Buka..!"

Akhirnya dengan pasrah-pasrah bingung gue membuka bungkusan itu. Mari kita mengingat lagi urutan bungkusannya: 3 plastik gramedia, kertas kado biru ato ungu gitu, kardus pink, trus sampah-sampah gak jelas dari kertas yang gue bacain satu-satu, trus plastik metro.

God. Metro? Department Store? METRO? *i sense something wrong happening*

Gue buka lagi. Masih ada bungkusan lagi, kertas kado. Pelan-pelan, gue buka. Pelan banget sampe si Chika udah mau ngelemparin gue pake sepatu.

Kok.. kardus ijo? Perak?

OH MY GOD.
OH MY GOD.
OH MY GOD.

I was really into loud histeria, screaming and having almost tears in my eyes. I know what this is. I KNOW IT WELL. TOO WELL.

Satu kardus plus botolnya, parfum KENNETH COLE - REACTION. 100 ML yang cuma bisa gue liatin di etalase Metro.

*Happy Birthday to you.. -Randy main gitar sambil nyanyi buat gue- Gue sumpah mampus terharu banget*

AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! =']

I just couldn't help it. A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. FOR ME. FOR THIS POOR OLD BOY.

IS THIS FOR ME??? REALLY?

AM I DREAMING? ARGH! I AM JUST TOO HAPPY FOR THIS.. IT'S JUST TOO EXPENSIVE for me to buy, AND TOO GOOD for me.

This is like. Getting something you've been wanting badly, but you DO know that you don't have ANY money to afford that.

KENNETH COLE. AND, JESUS. IT'S NOT JUST 50 ML. IT'S 100 ML.

I couldn't stop THANKING them. ALL of them. One by One. By words from my mouth. By SMSes. And I can't even imagine how they want to sacrifice their MONEY just to buy this thing for me. 20 something people. Birthday present. SUPER EXPENSIVE PARFUME FOR ME. I never imagine having this, bought by my friends.

FYI, baru tahun ini, ada banyak orang yang ngasih gue kado. Sebenernya, udah inget dan salamin gue aja udah SENENG banget.. Tapi.. kado? Buat seorang Brian, dari dulu jarang banget dikasih kado ma temen, karena emang gak tradisi, apalagi kalo inget minta buku buat birthday aja masih takut minta sama nyokap, takut kemahalan.

DO YOU KNOW HOW DEEP I THANK YOU?
GUYS. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK ALL OF YOU. I THANK YOU GUYS, REALLY.
I almost burst into tears, realising how well they care for me. MY FRIENDS.

Inget2.

1 bulan yang lalu. Gue menulis posting tentang parfume ini, dan betapa gue sangat suka wanginya.

2 minggu yang lalu. Gue plus keluarga pergi ke Plasa Senayan, dan di METROnya, gue menemukan parfume ini dengan histerisnya, mengingat Abbie pernah bilang, parfume ini gak dijual di Indonesia. Dan bokap juga suka, tapi gak beli karna kemahalan buat DIA dan buat GUE.

Hari minggu lalu. Gue ke Taman Anggrek, dan dengan histerisnya menemukan lagi, parfume yang sama dijual satu rak dengan Davidoff, dan betapa tatapan gue selalu ke sana.

Bokap gak ngasih gue beli parfume ini, selain karena harganya MAHAL sekali, gak wajar, bahkan lebih mahal daripada Aigner Black-nya bokap, yang kedua karena gue masih KECIL untuk punya parfume bermerek, dan yang ketiga karena gue udah punya parfume yang selama ini gue pake ke sekolah.

Genit? Dikiit. Hehe.

Guys, how could I make a PAYBACK for all of this? I really don't know. Hope I'm allowed to bring a tart, to slice and give it to the entire class. Hope. Soon.

GUYS. I REALLY THANK YOU. Not just for the gift, the greatest gift, but how you accept me as your friend. I've never felt this accepted before. Before I entered 2a1. Before I met all of you.

And you guys teach me how to love your friend, indeed.

I'll try to make a payback, just wait and see guys. Thanks a lot for the wonderful day.
You successfully made my day!
