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...
That night finally came. Tara and I started getting ready to go to the badminton court. But at that time, I still had a girlfriend. So before leaving, I took a moment to think about what I should say. In the end, I told her that I was going to play badminton with my internship friends.
Once again, my apologies, everyone… I didn’t tell her that it was actually Cutina who invited me to be her doubles partner 😌. I also didn’t mention that there would only be four of us playing, and that we would be paired up as doubles teams. Looking back now, I honestly don’t know why I felt uneasy about telling the whole truth. I guess I just wanted to enjoy playing badminton peacefully without making things complicated.
Long story short, Tara and I arrived at the badminton court. That night, there were me, Tara, Cutina, Ani, and one more girl who hadn’t originally been part of the plan—Risa, a friend from the same faculty as Cutina and Ani.
As previously decided—though honestly I don’t even remember who made the decision—I ended up partnering with Cutina against Tara and Ani. The match finally began.
And yup… just as expected 😌. Cutina looked absolutely mesmerizing on the court, though mostly because she kept striking all kinds of funny poses while playing. At some point, I even thought to myself, “How are we supposed to win like this?” On top of that, Ani somehow managed to hit the shuttlecock even when it wasn’t aimed at her at all ðŸ˜.
Meanwhile, all I could do was keep encouraging Cutina while trying my best to protect my pride, especially because earlier I had confidently told her that we were definitely going to win.
Time passed, and the score kept climbing. Then finally, there was one moment when the shuttlecock flew perfectly toward Cutina. Instinctively, I shouted, “SMASH!”
And yup yup… Cutina actually smashed it.
BOOM.
Point for us.
The atmosphere instantly exploded with excitement. We were both so happy. Then suddenly, Cutina ran toward me and hugged me from behind. Since I was also shocked that she had actually pulled off the smash—and because I was genuinely happy too—I instinctively hugged her back.
And at that exact moment… Risa and Ani were completely shocked seeing the two of us hugging each other ðŸ˜.
For some reason, that night was incredibly fun. Even though Cutina and I eventually lost the match—sorry about that HEHEHE—I still felt really happy playing that night.
Even though, in the end, the pride I had built up completely collapsed too 😌. But honestly, I guess that’s okay… even if Cutina ends up teasing me about it later.
