When I was in Jakarta last year for my Zomer Cursus, I met my old friend. A boy. We had up and down relation during the college years. He took me to some awesome places in Jakarta (I hate Jakarta, but he could show me other face of Jakarta). We went to Fathahilah museum, Wayang museum, Ancol, and Sunda Kelapa Harbour at last. We took some wonderful pictures there. While he was holding my camera, he took a woman's picture. Snapshot. That woman was also taking pictures of her friends. He said, "She is pretty, isn't she?". I said, "Yes, she is" As the night has fallen, we decided to go home. I went to hotel where I stayed. And he went back to his boarding house. He had appointment with his friend. A few days later, I went back to Surabaya.
Two months later, he sent me an SMS. He said, he had an appointment with the girl that we met in Sunda Kelapa. They would meet in a coffee bar.
I asked him, "How did you find her? You even has not met her before"
He replied "Through internet" I wondered, how came. I heard some same stories. But I still wondered. Then I googled his name. And, I found how he finally found her. Through magical website. www.fotografer.net. My friend and that girl are member of that web.
They met a few times before they decided to be lover. Until now, they are still together and have decided to go to the next level. Hmmm...
But sometimes, I still wonder..
It reminds me to a movie SERENDIPITY.
My classmate, for almost 10 years had relation with the same guy. Since Junior High School. They knew each other very good. So did their family. They started to have relationship when my friend was 12 years old. And the guy was at the same age. Once, she told me, that his boyfriend was the only one who understand her. They could completed one another. Took and gave between them was really amazing. They were just inseparable. Nothing on earth could set them apart. They spent their youth with this relation.
When my friend in the third year of college, her boyfriend broke her up. Without any reason. I wondered, she did not even cry. She laughed. Other girls in my class were crying, said sorry to what happened to her. Even though they broke up, they continued to call each other. Shared stories. Chatted each other. Just like when they were together.
One month later, she heard that her ex got married. To one that she never knew. She said, "It's OK. He's not for me" She continued her life alone. One month passed, then she found that it's not easy to forget her ex. Then she realized, that it was so hard to live without him. They grew up together. Spent their youth. Something that made my friend does not lose him, they still have good relationship. They still be friend. Tell each other stories. Maybe it is really hard to do so.
A week ago, my friend admitted, that her ex, has stolen all of her youth. She had no choice when she was young. She never went out with anybody else but him. That is why it's so hard to forget him. I understand and agree with her.
It is the folklore from my other friend. A woman. Once, she told me about her current relationship. With a married man.
"I fall in love with the right and wrong guy" she said in her thrilling voice.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
" See, I had irregular life. Messy. I had bad relation with my parents. I could not manage my life well..." I nodded. I knew her life. We close. We share the same ideas in books, films and visions. I also knew, how messy her life was.
"Then..."
"He can change me. He's the right guy to love. I love him so much. And so does he. But...the wrong thing is, he belongs to other woman and his children. Although I can say, his wife is not a good wife. Their relation is cold, long after before he met me. But, still, he is a wrong guy for me." she answered me sadly. Her love folklore has not been finished yet. We'll wait for the ending. Is is happy ending? or something that unending?
Everyone has his/her own love folklore. So, I conclude nothing. No moral lesson. But, love is something that never ends, as long as human beings take O2.
