Achievement Unlocked

on By

Beberapa bulan lalu, saya mengirimkan naskah cerita bersambung (cerber) berjudul Klub LDR ke Majalah Kartini. Tak lama kemudian bagian redaksi mengkonfirmasi bahwa cerber saya akan dimuat tapi untuk tanggal pastinya masih menunggu antrian. Saya pun tak ambil pusing. “Oke, akan saya cek kapan-kapan,” batin saya.

Pagi tadi sambil menyiapkan sarapan, iseng saya mengecek aplikasi HIGO untuk melihat apakah sudah ada unggahan baru dari Majalah Kartini. Ternyata ada dua edisi baru. Lalu saya pun mengunduhnya dan mengecek halaman cerber. Di luar dugaan saya, cerber saya ternyata sudah dimuat sejak edisi 2486 awal November lalu dan akan mengisi rubrik cerber hingga empat edisi. Sementara ini, yang sudah terbit baru dua edisi yaitu 2486 dan 2487. Dua-duanya sudah bisa didapatkan di toko buku dan kios koran terdekat atau diunduh dari aplikasi HIGO.

Untuk teman-teman yang ingin tahu isi ceritanya, saya tuliskan sinopsisnya di postingan ini. Tapi untuk versi lengkapnya, silahkan baca di majalahnya atau aplikasi digitalnya ya.

Selamat membaca 🙂

Lund, Jogja dan segala sesuatu di antaranya

on By 2 Comments

Pulang tahun ini bisa dibilang sedikit di luar rencana. Awalnya kami berniat pulang ke Indonesia di akhir tahun, sekalian mengungsi dari musim dingin Swedia yang ajaib. Juga menunggu tabungan agak ”mendingan” dulu setelah libur panjang musim panas tahun lalu 😅.

Tapi dua kabar baik di bulan Maret membuat kami menata ulang semua rencana perjalanan.

Pertama, adik ipar saya menerima lamaran dari calon suaminya waktu itu. Rencana pernikahan pun disusun dan waktu yang tepat bagi semuanya adalah di bulan Juli. Kedua, tes urin yang saya lakukan menunjukkan bahwa saya positif hamil dengan perkiraan lahir Desember 2018, sehingga tidak mungkin melakukan perjalanan di bulan-bulan itu. Dua hal ini, kemudian membuat kami memindahkan rencana pulang ke Indonesia ke bulan Juli.

The Robber that Took a Penguin From the Zoo

Story by Hayya Habibi

Milla and Mayana were at school. They were going to have a school field trip to the zoo. They went to the zoo with the school bus. In the zoo they saw lions, tigers, fishes, elephants, and many more.

When they were watching the penguins show, Milla and Mayana saw a robber that took one of the penguins. So they ran and chased the robber. Suddenly, the robber went to a jungle and to a dead end. Mayana was blocking the way back and Milla throw a stone on the robber’s head. Then the robber said:
“Okay, I will give you back the penguin,”
“Good,” said the girls at the same time.

So they brought the penguin and gave it to a man that was working in the zoo. Soon the penguin was safe.

Di Bawah Pohon Berdaun Salju | Under The Snow-Leaf Tree

on By

Di bawah pohon berdaun salju itu, kutemukan kita.
Duduk berdua menatap ranting-ranting putih yang mulai merenta.
Aku akan mengeluh kedinginan.
Lalu kau akan merapatkan pelukanmu.
Dan para tetangga akan bertanya-tanya.
Untuk apa kita duduk berdua di bawah pohon berdaun salju.
Saat suhu tak mau bergerak dari titik beku.
Yang tak mereka tahu, di bawah pohon itu, tersimpan rindu.” 

…


“Under that snow-leaf tree, I found us.
Sitting side by side, staring at the branches turned white.
I would complain about the cold.
Then you’d took me to your arms to hold.
And the neighbors would wonder.
Why should we sit under that snow-leaf tree.
When the temperature dropped under zero degree.
What they didn’t know, under that three, there was love.”

Finding Home in Sweden

When I first noticed that the slogan of IKEA, the Swedish-originate-Dutch-based home furnitures, kitchen appliances specialist, is: “Home is the most important place in the world,” I started to think that it’s indeed the best way to describe how house is generally perceived in Sweden (and also a smart persuasive message for the customer of course!).

With its not-so-long summer and harsh winter, living in a homy house is indeed essential in Sweden. A house here is not just an asset, it should be a cozy place to spend days and nights as well. This is why Sweden is the heaven for Scandinavian designs (which is characterised by its simplicity, minimalism and functionality), everyday life hacks and anything related to home accessories.

Love’s Most Frequent Question | Yang Sering Kita Tanyakan, tentang Cinta

on By

We often ask ourself what love really is. A definite question for which everyone comes up with different answer.

They say it’s a commitment.

They believe it’s a trust.

They claim it’s a friendship.

They define it as an acceptance.

For Zaki and me, love is THIS.

Whatever we have and share in the last 12 years. The thing that binds us together no matter what we’ve been through. Love is the way he makes me laugh the loudest and cry the saddest, and vice versa. Love is whenever we argue, we fight, and we hate each other, just to finally realise that we’re only two stubborn persons who can’t live, normally, without one another.

For us, love is about finding all the possible definitions, together.

Happy wedding anniversary, Zaki! Cheers to the answers we’ve defined and a lot more we are yet to find!
