Our Story
This feeling of love that I have for you,
A feeling so strong, so special, so new.
You give me the gift of happiness each day,
Never have I known it could be this way.
You have givin your love regardless of cost,
With my heart in your care, I will never be lost.
Or never again wonder what love really means,
For now I do know it means so many things.
Understanding and caring through good times and bad,
Sharing emotions should they be happy or sad.
Being there for each other through laughter or tears,
At each others side for the rest of our years.
My only wish is to be with you my love,
For each day I pray to the heavens above.
That you always remember my feelings for you.
A feeling so strong, so special, so new !
The First Time I Met You
Rachma's Story
The first time I met you..
It was "hot"....
hey, better not think too far yet :)
of course it was HOT...I was a freshman in OSPEK (an orientation to enter university)..
it was a hot day in 1999 (probably 35 Celcius).. starving and dehydrating from the morning (considering we have to be in campus by 5am)..wearing strange 'wheel paper hat' with a 'bad hair' make over and a big name tag on the chest that sure make me looked like a fool enough..and still being yelled by the seniors..had to do sit up, push-up, running all day long...just make your list of all military task,well we did that in OSPEK......
it was pretty much feel like hell (and guess what?lots of boys and girls do fainted)..
On that day I am exhausted..its been 2 days since the Faculty OSPEK, and there will be other different hard and excruciating OSPEK in university and department for another week..the only thing that make me survive was all the new friends that I make..and of course, the excitement of getting to enter one of the most prestigious university in Indonesia, UGM (Gadjah Mada University)..and anyways, though most of the seniors are "Evil"(or basically acted to be evil :) )..but we do have 2 tentor seniors in each group, which we can say the 'NICE' seniors that should help us to pass through the OSPEK.. and lucky me, both of my 'NICE' seniors are pretty cute ;P although they turnout to be such playboys hahaha,so I pass on them :P ..
Basically I don't really expect anything more, since that day is the last day for the Engineering Faculty OSPEK..
every day we only have noon 'resting time', which does'nt really mean its a free time to go to cafetaria and take off all the strange 'accesories' on the body :P ..
a 'resting time' is just a 10 minutes break with all the group member being fried under the sunshine on the field, eating only the food that we are expected to bring by the seniors (even it had to be the exact amount the seniors said,not less or more)..
but its was an unforgetable 'resting time'..
I was just sitting on the rough concrete field with my group, chat around with my new friends..and suddenly I feels the need to take off my glasses that getting snowy (which probably got dirty from some 'killing exercise')..so I take my glasses off and try to clean it with the shirt on my body....
when suddenly a very calmly and nice man voice calling me 'Hey..what's that on your face?'..
I glance to where the voice coming ..try to see the figure of the owner of that mesmerizing voice (still without wearing my glasses, which is a dumb thing since I cant see anything within 1 m range )..and when I still could'nt figure out who he is then I wear my glasses...
at that instance, I realize that I am looking up to someone thats I don't recognized,
but a small voice in my heart said 'hey, he is a 'pretty' cute and well built man '...
but most of all,what make my heart feels the 'tingle' is his soft but crunchy smile
(please my darling if you read this don't get too big headed ok hehehe )...then I realized..
I want to know more about you.....
The First Time We Got Together
Rachma's Story
Its all started on the last day of Faculty OSPEK
when I found myself want to know you more..
I start to ask my friends of who you are..
and it turnout that you're a senior from Mechanical engineering and one of the 'NICE' tentor from nextdoor group (sorry for not realizing you before :) )..
Like in every OSPEK tradition, the last night of OSPEK were celebrated with performances..
all attributes and 'strange accessories' were taken off..no more 'seniors' and 'juniors'..everyone is just UGM engineering faculty student..and everyone just want to enjoy the last gathering together ...getting to know each other better..
I did'nt know how...
but I did'nt remember how hard the music were or how crowded it was nor what all the performance were...
what I do remembered..
I spend the whole night talking to you in the middle of the crowds and hard music
and still feel like a very relaxing time only with you..
we share a lot..
stories of our lives, of who we are, of all the good and bad time of our lifes..sharing lots..and lots of stories like we had known each other for a loooong time..and still ..
I still feel of wanting to know you more...
since then sometimes you come over to my 'kost' (like a private dormitory)..
it was funny, how you always come to look for me bringing a bucket of fruits for all of my other roommates in the 'kost'..sometimes oranges, sometimes salak...
as if my roommates are my real family that you have to pleased to get close to me :)...
(but you know you did took my roommates hearts and mine too :) .
Infact..
do you know that every single 'akward things' you do are sweet little things for me??...
when you gave me your senior 'syal' shyly after last day of OSPEK...
when you choose to stay at outside instead inside kost 'guest area' because its a girl dormitory..but when a friend of yours passed by then you started to get 'nervous'
(since my kost is just right in front of public street)..
when you try so hard not to look into my face as we are talking...
its true that you never gave me roses and chocolate
nor gave me romantic poems or letters
but that every 'akward' little things you do..
that somehow become so special for me...
do you know why???
it was the first time I feel 'safe and protected'
the first time I feel calm and being cared..
that is why...
When the day you asked me "would I be a special someone for you"..
and the 'very surprising' way you reacted when I say 'I would'
at that time..
I feel that I am the luckiest person I have ever be...
The Second Time We Got Together
Rachma`s Story
At that time almost a year since 'The First Time We got Together'...
although I don't really know whether the relationship can be said as 'going out'.. because not only we are barely ever meet each other..
we also barely communicate with each other..
and when we decide to take 'our own ways'
I realized that everything is just too late..
Since then, I had my own 'life stories' and You also had yours..
5 years later
although we had our 'own ways '..
somehow we manage to keep in touch with each other..
not as 'special someone'...
but just as friend (though in my heart you always had been a special someone :)
at that time you were working 'out of Java' and I was working in Jakarta.. It was early morning in Ramadhan, October 2005..You usually wake me up over the phone to pray and prepare for fasting..and at that time..
once again you asked me to be 'your special someone'..
Although we had not meet for 5 years..and I don't know how you are or who you are becoming to
but somehow I feel I can trust you..
I know that at that time what we decided to do is having a serious relationship..and the comitment between us is what had keep us for another 2years and 10 months when we have to be separated just a couple months after you asked me 'The Second Time'..
I dont know whether we are 'fated' as a soulmate or not..
I can just pray and hope that everything will go smoothly..
and the time will answer it.....
