We Should Get Coffee Sometimes
"We should get coffee sometimes."
Iya, kedengarannya seperti semacam lame pick-up line. Dan entah kenapa sepanjang sore satu kalimat itu terus terngiang di kepalaku. Coffee..? We..? We as in me and who, exactly? Naaaaah, no particular person in mind, really.
Well, okay. Two, actually. One friend I haven't seen in quite a long time, and one i haven't met at all. Not in flesh.
Why coffee? Why not beer, like Nova suggested? (Euh, I'm not really a fan of beer) Why not sekoteng? Why not saraba? Why not cendol?
Entah kenapa, tampaknya kopi terasa lebih akrab, lebih hangat. Mungkin karena terkenang masa kuliah dulu, sering nongkrong di Akang dengan segelas kopi untuk menemani obrolan kami ngalor-ngidul kesana kemari sampai berjam-jam. Tertawa, ceng-cengan, serius, berbagi kisah.
We should get coffee sometimes.
We should find a nice place and sit together with two cups of coffee between us. We can talk about things we haven't told each other for quite some times. We can tell things we don't tell to anyone else. We can tell jokes and funny stories and laugh at them. We can share our burden and feel better afterward. We can get to know each other (better).
Yes, I can see us laughing. I can see us enjoying our time.
Yes, we should get coffee sometimes. Even when knowing that what I thought I saw might turn as bitter as the coffee we sip.
