"Belum berhenti?"

Menggeleng. Tanpa memalingkan wajah dari PC. Mengeja lirik dengan font miring warna kuning. Memenuhi seluruh kotak gambar Miley Cirus sedang duduk di depan piano. Mengikuti irama melantun lirih. Sesekali menarik nafas panjang. Tercekat. Isaknya menahan suaranya sejenak.

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the night's so long

'Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

"Ngena?"

Mengangguk

"Lagu siapa?"

Tetap tak memalingkan muka. 

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

"Nikmatilah... "

The love you keep inside
The love you keep for me

I stay to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you`ll be gone
It gives me time to stay, to watch you fade away
I dream of you tonight
Tomorrow you`ll be gone
I wish by god you`ll stay

I stay awake
I stay awake and watch you breathe
I stay awake and watch you fly, away into the night
Escaping through a dream

"Adzan. Sempatkan shalat."

Melangkah. Berwudhu. Mengenakan baju ibadah. Takbiratul ihram, ruku', sujud, hingga salam. Merebahkan diri sejenak di atas alas shalat. Bergerak-gerak bibirnya bergetar. Menguntai syukur, pujian sekaligus pinta. Di antara linang yang tak jeda.
