60 detik


Namanya adalah kesabaran, segala persiapan untuk membuat kamar benar-benar gelap, mematikan lampu koridor, lampu di dapur dan sekelumit keberuntungan akan malam yang sangat cerah!

5 tahun tidur bersama pemandangan ini dan selalu mendengar percakapan yang sama antara si pilot dan si pangeran kecil:


"It was wrong of you to come. You will suffer. I shall look as if I were dead; and that will not be true..."

I said nothing.

"You understand ... It is too far. I cannot carry this body with me. It is too heavy."

I said nothing.

"But it will be like an old abandoned shell. There is nothing sad about old shells ..."

I said nothing. He was a little discouraged. But he made one more effort:

"You know, it will be very nice. I, too, shall look at the stars. All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley. All the stars will pour out fresh water for me to drink ..."

I said nothing.

"That will be so amusing! You will have five hundred million little bells, and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water ..."

And he too said nothing more, because he was crying...

"Here it is. Let me go on by myself."


( Oya, jika tak bisa kau lihat lima ratus juta bel kecil itu berdering bersama, gelapkan sekitarmu dan lihat dengan lebih seksama. Kilap lampu kota memang sering membuat kita lupa ada yang jutaan kali lebih terang di atas sana)
