Setelah tanggal 7 April 2025 aku menjalani rutinitas ku seperti biasa, berangkat ke tempat magang bersama tara setiap hari-nya dan yang membuat berbeda adalah sekarang aku telah berpacaran dengan Cutina HEHEHHE. Setiap bertemu dengan Cutina di tempat magang aku selalu merasa seperti akward, biasanya sih aku orang yang humoris saat berada dengan orang yang dekat denganku tapi saat hari-hari pertama kali ber-pacaran dengan Cutina, entah aku harus bersikap bagaimana dengannya, apakah harus bersikap cool atau aku harus bersikap seperti biasa saja. Saat itu, aku merasa hubungan kita yang tahu hanyalah kita sendiri dan semua orang tau-nya kita masih berpacaran main-main. Hingga suatu ketika guru pamong aku, dimana dia yang aku jadikan alasan untuk menembak pacaran main-main dengan Cutina, dia bilang kepadaku "sepertinya kamu dengan Cutina tidak seperti pacaran" kemudian aku menjawab "kok bisa pak?" dan beliau menjawab "seharusnya kalo emang kalian ber-pacaran, harusn...
On March 1st, 2025, it was the beginning of Ramadan, and my internship place was on a long holiday break. I was still at home and planned to return to my boarding house on Sunday because work would start again on Monday.
On Saturday night, my WhatsApp suddenly rang.
When I checked it, it turned out to be a message from Cutina.
“Are you coming on Monday?”
I simply replied, “No.”
Even though I had actually planned to come on Monday 🙂 I just wanted to surprise her somehow, maybe for attention, maybe like a small surprise. It’s weird—whenever it has something to do with Cutina, I start feeling like a little kid again. I get excited over something as simple as meeting someone I like.
But after that, Cutina told me to come anyway.
“Just come. Bring your badminton racket too.”
She insisted that I bring my racket, so in the end, I agreed.
The next morning, on Monday, she texted me again.
“Are you coming today?”
And I replied…
“No.”
Even though I was already near the internship place ðŸ«
Since I arrived a little late, I didn’t go into the office immediately. I waited until the morning activities were over first. When my fellow assistants started coming out of the office, I finally walked downstairs and showed up.
Eventually, Cutina noticed me after her friends told her I was there.
I thought she would be surprised or at least say something like, “Wait, didn’t you say you weren’t coming?”
But instead… she acted completely normal 😑
At that moment, I immediately thought to myself,
“Why am I even doing this?”
It felt like I was putting in all this effort and expecting too much on my own.
Before we even had a proper conversation, she immediately asked,
“Did you bring your racket or not?”
“Yeah, I brought it.”
After that, we ended up playing badminton together. Not just the two of us though—there were other friends too. Since the students were still on holiday, the atmosphere that day was pretty relaxed.
I think we played badminton for almost two hours. Honestly, afterward I was extremely thirsty ðŸ˜
At one point, I even thought,
“Should I just break my fast already…”
Then I said to Cutina,
“Let’s go to the Alfamart in front and buy some drinks!”
She thought about it for a moment before finally agreeing.
Long story short, we were already at Alfamart drinking bottled water. Then suddenly, Cutina said,
“A night ride sounds fun.”
I immediately replied,
“Yeah, it sounds fun. Let’s do it sometime.”
And that was it… the conversation didn’t go any further.
After that, we went back to the internship place and chatted with our friends again. Then one of Cutina’s faculty friends, let’s call him Afi, suddenly said,
“Let’s go out for coffee tonight.”
He invited both me and Cutina.
And I immediately answered,
“I’m in.”
Meanwhile, Cutina still hesitated for a moment before saying,
“I’ll go if someone picks me up.”
And without thinking, I instantly replied,
“Relax, I’ll pick you up.”
Looking back now, I honestly don’t know why I said that. The café was only about ten minutes away from my boarding house, while picking Cutina up first would turn the trip into almost a full hour of going back and forth.
