Selamat Ulang Tahun

Aku mengenalmu dari keterpurukan.
Aku mengenalmu utuh dengan penerimaan.

kamu bukan yang terindah, bukan juga yang terbaik,
tapi kamu adalah sebaik-baiknya guru yang mengajarkanku kenyataan dalam satu kali kesempatan hidup.

Aku (pikir) sangat mengenalmu, utuh?
Seluruh kekuranganmu aku (pikir) sangat paham.
Aku menerimamu, tersenyum dalam amarahmu di permukaan.

Aku tau bagaimana rasanya berkhianat,
berenang cepat dalam dosa.
Aku pernah sangat menyalahkanmu karena kamu kuanggap sebagai sosok yang membiarkan dosa itu seperti air bah yang menyeretku dari kenaifan.

Tanpa kutau, aku adalah sumber air itu sendiri ...

Aku pernah sangat muda, mengangkat dagu tinggi-tinggi bertopang ego.
Aku berdiri menatapmu, tinggi, mengajariku bagaimana menutupi semua kekurangan.
Aku menatapmu yang penuh kuasa, tapi aku tau hatimu serapuh kristal muda.

maka tak heran ketika suatu hari aku hanya melihatmu, iba? bersimpu di kakiku.
Kamu bukan kamu yang kukenal dulu. Kamu menjadi kamu yang aku gambarkan dalam benak penuh dendam.
Sejak hari itu, aku tau aku tidak pernah benar-benar memahamimu.
Apa yang kau pikirkan dan kau rasakan hari ini, tidak setitik pun aku bisa menebaknya.
Kita benar-benar sudah berpisah jalan, berpisah warna tali, berpisah jarak dan hati,

Kamu jauh sudah.


Aku menjagamu sampai hari ini, menjagamu dalam kenangan. tidak pernah lupa, bukan karena perasaan apa pun, tapi memang karena kamu pernah ada.
Bisakah? Suatu hari kita bertemu lagi dan dengan nyaman, saling bertukar senyuman?
bisakah kita berteman, seperti hari-hari sebelumnya saat kamu mengakui siapa kamu sebenarnya?



Hari ini, aku memanjatkan doa, menyebut namamu untuk pertama kalinya sejak bertaun-taun lewat.
Semoga hatimu menjadi yang terkuat, meski tetap rendah hati.
Menjadi manusia pemaaf, dan selalu menjaga diri.
Bahagialah kamu, ....
Selamat hari ulang tahun ... untuk kamu di sana.

Happy Birthday, the #@th

My First Day


Aku lagi duduk di ruang dokter. bukan di kursi pasien, tapi di kursi dokternya ... *cough*

My first day started yesterday actually, tapi nggak tau juga kapan harus hitung hari pertama, benar kemarin ... atau waktu di rumah. And I've met my first patient, ... nah ini juga, aku bingung yang mana yang harus aku hitung sebagai pasien pertama, kemarin, atau waktu di rumah, atau .. justru waktu IKM di Puskesmas dulu.

but it feels the same: EXCITED!

pasien pertamaku di rumah, pasangan suami istri ... yang sama-sama asma. Romantis ya? Sakit aja kompakan. Terapi masih dibimbing ayah, tapi edukasinya well ... I'm flying solo, finally :)

nah kemarin, seorang ibu, post partum H+26, riwayat preeklamsi, datang karena demam batuk pilek. Agak keder juga, soalnya bingung banget mau kasih obat ini itu, tapi mendadak lupa mana aja obat yang kontraindikasi ibu menyusui. Terus tensi ibu nya masi agak tinggi, borderline sih ... tapi si ibu minta dikasih obat anti hipertensi.

I was like ... whew ...
What have I drag myself into?
Can I be a doctor? yes it is somehow, easy.
but, can I be a good doctor for my patient?

Aku mau kasih yang terbaik buat pasien-pasienku, siapapun dia/beliau, dimanapun, kapanpun.

Menjadi dokter berarti siap belajar sepanjang hayat.
Menjadi dokter berarti siap mendedikasikan hidup dan disiplin ilmu kami untuk kemajuan dan kesehatan masyarakat.

-bahasa gue mendadak berat ... berasa lagi orasi-

aku sudah memilih jalan ini, dan bismillahirrohmanirrohim ... semoga Allah memberi kemudahan dan berkah serta hidayah nya bagi kami, para dokter di seluruh dunia.

Menulis Nggak Susah, Tapi Juga Nggak Segampang Bikin Mantra

Be positive when you start writing!

Jadi, aku sekarang sedang dihadapkan di siatuasi mau-nggak-mau-harus-nulis. apapun. entah narasi biasa, sajak, personal literatur, bahkan yang agak panjangan seperti cerita pendek atau novel. rasanya susah! apalagi nulis yang terakhir itu. seringkali berakhir dengan writer's block! *gigit jempol kaki*

Akhirnya aku harus biasain diri lagi nulis di notebook (liteally notebook, buku kertas-catatan, yang ditulis tangan), karena biasanya ide yang aku tulis pertama kali di catatan itu yang paling orisinil. Karena mindset-ku waktu nulis apa pun di laptop itu labil sekali: aku tau, tulisanku bisa aku delete & edit sesuka hati. beda dengan tulisan di catatan yang kalo salah, coretan panjang di catatan itu justru punya seni sendiri. seni dari imajinasi yang orisinil.

ngetik novel, atau bahkan cuma cerita pendek, sangat tergantung mood & juga banyaknya distraction. dan membangun situasi, mendeskripsikan sebuah karakter, fisik, atau lingkungan -yang notabene berperan penting terhadapa bagus/nggak nya sebuah cerita- sangat bergantung dengan imajinasi yang aku punya. sedangkan imajinasiku sendiri dipengaruhi dari informasi & intelegensi yang baru atau sudah lama mengendap di otak. selain itu, gaya bahasa yang khas juga punya peran untuk menarik peminat pembacanya -yang nggak flat & garing- itulah .. beberapa hari belakangan ini merasa salah baca referensi, karena novel & cerita-cerita yang aku baca hampir seluruhnya adalah cerita dari luar negeri, yang tentunya .. ditulis dalam bahasa inggris. makanya, waktu nilis cerita sendiri, kalimatku kaku banget, nggak luwes, nggak 'nyastra'.

-masi inget dulu waktu bikin skripsi, karena jurnalku hampir semuanya jurnal luar negeri, dosen pembimbing sempet beberapa kali ngingetin untuk ganti struktur kalimat, karena kalimat-kalimat yang aku tulis lebih keliatan kayak terjemahan jurnal, bukan dari hasil pemikiran sendiri-

gimana sebenarnya cara buat tulisan jadi menarik? gimana biar pembaca nggak bosen? I don't know.

tapi aku terus belajar. aku harus tetap nulis! kapanpun. dimanapun. apapun tulisan itu.

tulislah apa yang ada di pikiranmu, jangan takut duluan tulisan kamu jelek, membosankan, dan dihambat pikiran pesimis lainnya. karena itu yang membuat ide besar di kepala kita terpenjara oleh kekhawatiran diri sendiri.
membacalah ... menulislah. negara ini butuh banyak penerus dengan ide dan pemikiran cemerlang, bukan mereka yang banyak bicara -kesannya- baik, tapi dengan pemikiran kosong itu.
menulislah, bagikan ilmu kepada orang lain.
menulislah, dan jadikan dirimu bermanfaat dengan membagi ilmu baik pada orang-orang di sekitarmu.
menulislah, meski tulisanmu di pagi hari hanya tiga buah kata singkat, (tetapi penuh makna kebanggaan & harapan besar):

"Selamat pagi, Indonesiaku ..."
