365

You have been away for a long time. Leaving me, us and memories. Where are you going? What punishment it is?. Until now I could not find you. If only at that time you did not insist, it would be today we are together.

“I’m going to London” you say.
“London?” I asked.
“I want to take college there,” he said.
That was the conversation 5 days before the incident. the incident that made you disappear from my sight.

“how about Jakarta?” I asked.
“I already got the scholarship Eca. It’s okay, right? “ he said while gripping my fingers.
“Yes, it’s okay.” I said.
His name is Aldo, a man of my age who is dreaming of his dream to become an architect.

I still remember when he gave me his favorite hoodie. The black hoodie that he always kept. He always mad at me when I touched his hoodie, he said, “Don’t touch it Eca. It’s my favorite hoodie.” simple, only because the hoodie reads our name“ ECA & ALDO ”

That hoddie is now in my hand, I will hold it faithfully. If I could express my heart, I would say “your hoodie is crumpled, you don’t mad at me?”. Lewis Capaldi’s song, Before You Go has always been my song when your shadow appears.

“Why you have to go?” I asked at that time.
“Eca, I’ll be back. Keep my promise, this is the hoodie that I keep my eye on. If you miss me, just hug it,” he said, i can’t belive he laughing. But the situation at that time didn’t make me smile and laugh.

“I’m not kidding Aldo, I’m serious!” I said.
“Listen Eca, when I come back I promise you” he raised his hand a little. “This is my promise, I will invite you to design our house together, a house for us to live in later,” he said.
Then he left, disappearing from my sight.
I always pray that he will come back to my sight safely.

But, one news made me mad and sad at the same time. Broken already my defenses, pain runs through my body.
“The plane with flight number X 569 KJK to London crashed, no victims were saved,” the news made me really sad,i can’t describe how sad iam.
Where is your promise, he said we will make a house together. You don’t see your favorite hoodie. I’m crumpled, aren’t you angry?

Air observers say the plane’s wings split open, the plane unbalanced and crashed. I lost you, we lost you, your memories are gone instantly.

The days I go through without you. It’s heavy, there’s no encouragement. Every morning you always call me and tell me to wake up. Now only the flying birds and a gust of wind wake me up.

Many friends say, “Just look for another?” They don’t know what it feels to lose the person you loved.
Now, God has other plans. he sent him to me. Indeed, a different face but he always reminds me of you.

Now I’m standing on the bridge in the Central Jakarta area,at 08:00 pm at night. Remember? The place where you confessed your feelings at the first time. You said this place was different. When other men stated their feelings at luxurious places, you brought me here. “Let see the view of Jakarta Eca,” you said.

Aldo, it’s happy there?. God tell Aldo, one day I’ll go there to meet him. I promised not to leave him.

Today, exactly 365 days you leave me, Aldo Bagaskara.
