Too Good at Running Away

Hembusan angin baru saja berbisik
tanpa permisi. Membuatku menyadari keberadaannya, keberadaanku. Aku menatap sekeliling, menyadari sesuatu. Tiga tahun
sudah aku di kota ini. Jakarta. Kota yang udaranya berbaur lekat dengan
polusi. Kota yang tak pernah sepi. Hiruk pikuk motor, kopaja, pedagang keliling, hingga rumah-rumah liar. Aku tersenyum, mengagumi bahwa kesesakkannya justru
mampu menantangku hijrah kemari.
Ya, memang aku nggak menyesal dengan keputusanku untuk menetap di ibukota. Tiap sudut kota ini mampu mengajakku bersyukur. Namun, banyak kutemui beragam orang ingin mengadu nasib di sini, sepertiku. Kepenatannya sesekali suka membuatku jengah. Dan untuk itu, aku memanjakkan diriku. Pergi ke tempat lain yang lebih lapang, yang punya udara yang lebih nikmat untuk dihirup. Mungkin hanya 3 atau 4 hari. Bahkan pernah hanya 2 hari semalam. Tapi itu cukup. Lebih dari cukup untuk memompa kembali semangatku beradu dengan jejalan rutinitas.

In English:
The wind just whispered shamelessly. Made its existence could be felt and so do mine. I saw my surroundings, realize of something. I have been three years live in this city. Jakarta. City which the air prettily gummed with pollution. City who never sleep. Bustle of motorbikes,buses, cadgers, 'till unpermitted houses. I smiled, know the fact how the hectic attract me to move here.
Yes, I never ever regret of my decision to come to Jakarta. Every corner of this city able to make me feel grateful. Yet I often meet bunch of people who speculate the same thing, like me. I often fatigue by this fact. Due to that, I love to pamper myself . Go to a breathtaking place, that has a cleaner air to be inhaled. For 3 or 4 days, nor just for 2 days and 1 night. But that's enough. Way more than enough to boost up my mood to beat pack of routines.
