LANGIT BIRU, PAGI HARI, DAN HARI ITU

Sebuah kombinasi pas yang baru aku temui

Senikmat kopi hangat terenak yang pernah ku pesan

Siapa yang sangka, ku akan memulai hari itu


Tubuhku saat itu bernafas lebih lapang

Mungkin dari udara pagi yang kuhirup lebih segar

Bisa juga dari langit biru itu

Cerahnya mewakili seisi langit yang menyapa


Merasa aneh, dari rangkaian hari ini

Tubuhku belum terlalu pandai membaca semesta

Terik matahari pagi yang memaksa

Untukku pergi melindungi jiwa

Surreptitious Prayer

Today my heart was flattered


my aunt called my uncle for me

he said like, I pray for you always, only you, all the best for you

in the middle of my working hour

it really touched my heart 

permeate thru my deepest soul

but I had to control myself

I gulped so hard 

holding back tears

right at the Ashar prayer

I finally burst into tears

hoping that Allah will repay the good deeds my uncle does to me

so does the other people out there

who pray for me

whether it's my friends, relatives, or the one who has prayed for me once

that's the sweetest human thing


He's pretty much the one who knew me well after my dad

knew all my story and such

It wasn't easy for me

but I know, out there, people are struggling way harder than me

I was just given a little.

Welcome 2021

Assalamualaikum. First post in 2021 is here finally!

The year has just turned into the 2nd month but it feels like I had as many stories as a year. This year began with the battle. Fighting against my ego, as well as the virus, striving to protect myself, my family, and relatives who had been infected from worse symptoms. For the record, this was the first time I literally jump right out of my comfort zone. The zone I hardly leave, this time I was forced to snap out of it. When I need time to be alone, detached, and out of reach, I was given that chance for an 'enough' time. It's like when I think I need a break from people and the world, here came that time. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal.

The world isn't just about you but the people surround you.

The Doors


 4 days to 2021

Can't wait to embrace a new beginning. New story and hopefully new chapter as well. 

2020 has been about the doors to me. Once a door has closed, God assured us there're another thousand doors open for you. Pretty much a guide in our map of life saying: not there, not that way. 

You'll be shown obviously the bright side. 

It's actually never a rejection door for you.

It's selectively lead you to your best road. You just have no idea. 

But My Lord knows things best. You could only figure out things this far, but Allah has figured beyond what humans can ever think of. So, why bother worrying?

Life is beautiful, so is the world honey.


... But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

 QS Al Baqarah : 216

My Emotion Teacher


In a world with full of ups and down

We should get used to rejection and denial

You wanna know what's better?

Having someone said rejection and denial in the first place

Rather than acceptance from someone in the beginning but ended up rejecting yourself or your ideas

Thanks to those persons who become my teacher who taught me that refusal

Turned out, they deserved an appreciation

Thanks for making it easier for me so I don't have to feel that fatigues from accepting

It builds my heart wider and wider so if there's any speck of stain, it won't break the whole milk (Indonesian proverb)

Diri yang Masih Baru

28th Sept 2018


Kamu bilang hatimu seluas samudra

Pundakmu sekuat baja

Sudah dilakukan segala usaha

Tapi terhenti katamu apa daya


Tentang membuka hati berarti memulai

Membenahi dan memperbaiki diri

Terimakasih telah menghampiri

Hai sesosok yang menginspirasi


Katamu setiap orang datang ada maksud

Apapun itu ku yakin Allah Maha Tahu

Mungkin karna diri ini masih baru

Ku percayakan kepada Allah segala kelabu

The Froth of The Sea



me and my sin

as much as the froth over the sea

countless, spread, and exist

what an empty soul

not sure exactly what is good anymore

it's a mixture of hurting, blaming and much more

forget where to put things you can't control


the froth covers the clear pure water

as if making good scenery underneath unseen

while begging to the Almighty to wipe my froth

Allah is All Merciful, all I know

nonetheless, I realize the froth pretty much adds lesson to me
