GODISNOWHERE™

Hari ini tanggal 14 Februari dan aku harus bangun pagi… Hoaahhmmm… Ngantuk banget dech pokonya… Tapi ya mau gimana lagi… Di hari Valentine yang berbahagia ini aku harus mengikuti test OCBC NISP di UNPAR jam 9.00 pagi…

Ga pagi-pagi amat sich sebenernya… Tapi aku kan biasa bangun siang, terlebih sehari sebelumnya aku bener-bener kecapean… Jadi yach bangun jam 7.30 itu uda perjuangan banget… Alarm-ku bunyi tepat waktu, semenit kemudian tanganku gatel mencet tombol snooze dan bobho lagi dech… ZzZzzZz…

Weqz… *suara bebek* Sekarang uda jam 8.30!!! Huyuh2x… Aku langsung beranjak bangun, mandi 10 menit teruz langsung ngebut ke UNPAR… Biasanya perjalanan ke kampusku memakan waktu 30 menit, tapi karena kali ini cepet-cepet dan kebetulan jalanan kosong, Sabtu gitu loh, jadi 20 menit juga uda cukup dech… Aku kan parkir di B2 (turun 3 lantai dari lantai 1: SB, B1, lalu B2) dan ruang test-nya di lantai 8, kalo nunggu lift yang pake kuya naek siput pasti telatnya banget-banget-banggeeettt dech… So, berdasarkan pengalaman kuliah, aku pun memutuskan berlari naek daun, eh naek tangga maksudnya… Kebayang kan gimana capenya lari-lari 10 lantai… Ngosh3x…

Ya ampoen ruang test-nya dipindah dari lantai 8 ke lantai 7, turun lagi dech… Uda mah buru-buru rusuh ga jelas, eh paz masuk kelas belom ada orang NISP nya donk… Padahal saat itu udah jam 9.01!!! Gu-ditunggu-tunggu, ternyata akhirnya dateng juga tuh si orang NISP jam 9.36 tepat, di jam ku sich jam segitu yach… Geblek banget dah ini orang bank ngaretnya ga kurang lama…

Akhirnya psychotest-nya, yang hanya berdurasi 27 menit pun dimulai (asli aku ga mengada-ada, emang beneran waktunya cuman 27 menit, 20 menit test logika, 7 menit test kepribadian)… Setelah itu kita, peserta test yang berjumlah 44 orang, pun menunggu 5 menit untuk mengetahui siapa yang lolos test untuk melanjutkan focus group discussion (FGD )…

27 + 5 = 32 menit (waktu test) < 36 menit (waktu ngaret)

Bener-bener test tersingkat yang pernah aku ikuti dengan cara penilaian yang ga jelas banget…

Dan hasilnya, sudah jelas dan sudah pasti, aku ga lolos gitu loh… Pertama kalinya loh aku ga lolos di tahap awal seleksi huhuhu…

Beres test aku ga langsung pulang, diem doeloe di UNPAR ketemu beberapa teman dan ngobrol ngalor-ngidul (baca: kesana-kemari) sampe jam 3an lebih gitu dech, teruz baru dech pulang ke rumah…

Eh, baru aja 5 menit sampe rumah, si Dhe-Dhe telepon, suru aku ke rumahnya… Terpaksa dateng dech, kan dalam hitungan jam dia uda terbang lagi ke Beijing…

Uda mah kurang tidur, uda mah kecapean, di hari Valentine yang berbahagia ini ternyata banyak teman mengajakku bermain, dan dengan senang hati semua ajakan mereka kutolak mentah-mentah hahaha…

Mendingan juga bobho di rumah hehehe…

Grok3x…

…….

Paz lagi enak-enak bobho, tiba-tiba cewe di rumah sebelah dateng… Bawa bunga lagi… Waduh, mau ngapain sich nich anak?! Sekarang emang jaman uda emansipasi, wanita boleh lah dianggap sudah setara dengan pria, tapi… kalo masalah ceweq dateng ke rumah cowoq bawa bunga: Mau ditaro di mana ini muka??? Ya jelas lah di kepala, masa di tembok, jadi muka tembok donk ntar…

Itu ceweq katanya sich sekolah di Aloy, baru kelas 3 SMA sekarang… Cantik loh anaknya, seksi pula… Namanya Michelle… Dia dateng seorang diri, memakai terusan putih + sepatu hak putih, yang sangat serasi dengan kulitnya yang putih… Oh, iya… Mawar yang dia bawa juga warnanya putih loh… Kata mama, putih itu melambangkan ketulusan… Tapi menurutku pribadi, putih itu melambangkan kemulusan… Haiyahhh… Apa pula ini?!

Selidik punya selidik, ternyata ini ceweq dateng ke rumahku bukan dengan tanpa tujuan… Dia dateng ke sini seorang diri karena katanya sich ada sesuatu yang ingin dibicarakan denganku… Aneh juga sich, jarang-jarang loh dia maen ke sini, secara kita ga begitu deket gitu loh…

Gatau apa maksudnya, tapi yang jelas itu ceweq ngasih aku mawar putih yang dia bawa tadi… Aneh banget ga sich?! Tapi, berhubung yang ngasihnya cantik, ya uda lah terima aja, ga ada salahnya ini koq, lagian kan aku single, dia juga single, double dech…

Setelah ngasih itu mawar, dia lalu mengajakku pergi makan malem berdua aja… Tawaran yang menarik… Tapi, ngga ah, aku kan lagi ga punya duit…

“Kita dinner yuk, please… Aku traktir dech…”

*dengan pandangan penuh harap; alias ngarep*

“Boleh dech kalo gitu, mau ke mana???”

…….

Singkat cerita, akhirnya kami berdua sampai juga di cafe yang dimaksud, Cafe Serodotan namanya… Nama yang aneh… Letaknya di Jalan Bengawan… Minimalis sich design-nya, tapi romantis banget suasananya…

Anehnya, saat itu jam 8 malam, tapi koq cuman kita berdua saja ya yang ada di sana?!

“Shel, ini cafe koq sepi amat sich??? Emangnya kamu booking semua yach???”

“Hhmmm… Sebenernya ini cafe punya mamaku sich… Belom buka, rencananya baru minggu depan soft opening… Hari ini lagi uji coba gitu dech ceritanya… Menu makanan dan minumannya juga masi terbatas banget, gpp kan???”

“Iya, gpp koq… Thankx yach uda ngajak aku ke sini…”

“Iya, sama-sama… Btw, Van… Sebenernya dari dulu aku uda nyimpen perasaan sama kamu… Emmm… Mau ga kalo kamu jadi cowoq-ku???

*dag-dig-dug-dhueerrr, panas dingin, salah tingkah, padahal sebenernya mau banget*

Kalo dipikir-pikir aneh banget nich ceweq… Maen bareng ga pernah, ngobrol jarang, sekarang paz hari Valentine tiba-tiba ngajak makan malem duaan, teruz langsung nembak gitu… Duh, pusink… Jujur, aku sich seneng-seneng aja kalo bisa pacaran sama dia, tapi ini sikon-nya koq kaya yang ga tepat banget yach??? Serba dadakan banget gitu… Kaya jaman Siti Nurbaya aja…

“Van, gmn??? Kamu mau kan jadi cowoq-ku???”

“Emmm… Gmn yach???”

*Kring… Kring…* (Jelek banget bunyinya!!!) *Goyang dombret..eeetttt… Goyang dombrettt…* (Nah, ini suara ringtone yang bener…)

“Sori, Shel… Sebentar yach… Ada telepon…”

…….

Si penelepon: “Chun, di mana??? Hayu ikut maen…”

Aku: “Aduh sori pizan… Ga bisa euy… Gua lagi… Emmm…”

Si Penelepon: “Lagi apa???”

Aku: “Tidurrr…”

…….

Bangsat!!! Ngerusak acara orang aja… Napa sich neleponnya ngga ntar aja paz gua uda dicium gitu… *bugh* Walaupun  itu semua hanya merupakan bagian dari bunga tidurku saja, tapi kan asyik… Ggrrr…

BOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappies cost — but said: “I think it’s a lot.”

…….

Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.

He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant.

The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would be good to have a baby.

“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.”

Chantelle told how she discovered she was expecting after going to her GP with “really bad” stomach pains. She said: “Me and Alfie went. The doctor asked me whether we had sex. I said yes and he said I should do a pregnancy test. He did the test and said I was pregnant. I started crying and didn’t know what to do.

“He said I should tell my mum but I was too scared.

“We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you.”

But Penny figured out what was going on after buying Chantelle a T-shirt which revealed her swelling tum.

Chantelle admitted she and Alfie — who are both being supported by their parents — would be accused of being grossly irresponsible. She said: “We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now. We will be good loving parents.

“I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums.

“I’ll be a great mum and Alfie will be a great dad.”

Chantelle and Maisie were released from hospital yesterday. They are living with Penny, Chantelle’s jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits. Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans’ house.

He is allowed to stay overnight and even has a school uniform there so he can go straight to his classes in the morning.

Alfie’s dad, who is separated from Nicola, believes the lad is scared deep down.

He said: “Everyone is telling him things and it’s going round in his head. It hasn’t really dawned on him. He hasn’t got a clue of what the baby means and can’t explain how he feels. All he knows is mum and dad will help.

“When you mention money his eyes look away. And she is reliant on her mum and dad. It’s crazy. They have no idea what lies ahead.”

Dennis, who works for a vehicle recovery firm, described Alfie as “a typical 13-year-old boy”.

He said: “He loves computer games, boxing and Manchester United.” Dennis, who has fathered nine kids, told how he was “gobsmacked” when he discovered Alfie was to be a dad, too.

He said: “When I spoke to him he started crying. He said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come.

“I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.”

Lovely

Chantelle’s mum said: “I told her it was lovely to have the baby but I wish it was in different circumstances. We have five children already so it’s a big financial responsibility. But we are a family and will pull together and get through. 

“She’s my daughter. I love her and she will want for nothing.”

Last night Michaela Aston, of the anti-abortion Christian charity LIFE, said: “We commend these teenagers for their courage in bringing their child into the world.

“At the same time this is symptomatic of the over-sexualisation of our youngsters and shows the policy of value-free sex education just isn’t working.”

Today Sussex Police and the local council’s children services said they have investigated the case and pledged continued support for the young parents.

Britain’s youngest known father is Sean Stewart. He became a dad at 12 when the girl next door, 15-year-old Emma Webster, gave birth in Sharnbrook, Bedford, in 1998. They split six months later.
