0 comments Posted by Aka Kobo at 11:25 AM
Adrianne Aziana a.k.a Anz, maybe you never hear about this name. But not for all of the students of Bina Bangsa University, and also its academic civitas. Anz is not a scarce name for them. How not ? Anz is the most popular girl in that university. Beautiful, sexy, rich, clever, and kind. But unfortunately, Anz is well known as a girl who always change her boyfriends. It’s not because of she’s a playgirl or always bored with one man, but don’t know why every man that is close to her, he will want to play on her. None of them sincerely love her. They are just aiming Anz’s wealth and reputation as a popular and rich girl.
Like today, Anz is just fighting with Adam, his new boyfriend who has been dated for 2 weeks. Adam is a popular man in Bina Bangsa University. Adam is detected cheating on Anz with kiss another girl in the night club and Avi, Anz’s best friend, caught him up. Avi recorded some scenes that preview Adam who kissed another girl via her mobile phone.
“ Hey, maybe it’s just Avi made that video may we have fight! “ Adam yelled to Anz.
“ Really ? What’s the benefit for Avi ? She’s my childhood best friend! She is impossible for lying to me. Alright, Adam. You are same with another man, aren’t you ? You dated me just for your popularity right ?!” Anz said.
“ Yes! I am like the other man who has dated you! I dated you, it’s just for fun. You are truly beautiful, rich, smart, sexy, but you’re too naïve and totally uninteresting. So what for dating with a naïve girl who don’t want to be invited to go to night club, refuse to be kissed, etc. ? It’s totally fusty!” Adam opened his real mask by himself.
Yeah, Anz always refuse to do a free relationship without knowing the limit of it. Almost all of the men that has been dated by Anz were dumped because of their dating style.
“ Fine! Now I already know what kind of guy you are. Thank you for dating me for two weeks!” Anz said that and then she walks away from Adam.
“ Hey girl, before you go to another relationship, please study how to kiss your boyfriend! Hahaahahahaha! “ Adam teased Anz.
When Anz heared Adam’s statement, Anz reverses her body. Her face becomes red because she’s so angry, her left hand is clenched, her breath is fast than usual, and her right hand which is holding a paper glass which is fulfilling with a quarter-fill of cappuccino is ready to do what it has to do. Anz walks to Adam again.
“ Say it once again! “ Anz said.
“ Should I ? OK, I will. Before you go to another relationship, it’s better for you to learn how to kiss your boyfriend. Believe me, Anz. You won’t ever be cheated by your boyfriend anymore. “ Adam said with teasing tone to Anz.
“ Hmmm … good advice. I will try to learn it then. Oh ya, ini salam perpisahan untuk kita. Thank you Adam! “ Anz said with her sweet smile and throws her cappuccino which is on her right hand to Adam’s face.
Adam is shocked. He swaps his face. Anz laughs. Then Adam wags his clothes which is wet and has a coffee smell also stain.
“ Damn you, Anz! “ Adam yelled.
“ You’re a thousand times jerk than me! Enjoy that! “ And said relievely.
But although Anz is so relieve by throwing cappuccino to Adam’s face, she’s still a fragile heart girl. One of Anz habit if she’s on the bad mood is going to her favorite café, Tiramisu Café. Yes, this café just serves many kind of tiramisu. And tiramisu is Anz’s the most favorite cake ever. When she arrives at Tiramisu café, Anz is soon taking a seat in the corner of the café which has a beautiful view and she feels that she can listen to the song which is played by Tiramisu café’s home band clearly. Because she often comes to that café, she’s even knowing some of waiters and waitresses’ name.
“ Good afternoon, Miss Anz! What do you want to order today ? “ A waiter, who has a name tag in his chest with name ‘ RIO ‘, greeted to Anz.
“ Eh, Hi Mr. Rio! I want to order classic tiramisu for today. And also …, “.
“ Lemon Tea Ice with extra lemon so the taste will be sourer than usual, isn’t it ? “ Rio said and cut Anz’s talk.
Anz is so amazed with Rio, but she’s soon realize to close her mouth and change it with her best smile.
“ Ok, wait for a minute Miss!” then Rio walks away from Anz.
Not waiting for so long time, Rio brings Anz’s order. Rio puts a plate which is filling with a slice of classic tiramisu which is decorated with a fresh strawberry and delightful chocolate sauce in around of the plate, also lemon tea ice with extra lemon, in front of Anz’s face carefully.
“ Thank you, Mr. Rio!” Anz said when Rio is done put Anz’s order in the table.
“ You’re welcome! If there’s something that I can help, please call me. Excuse me. “ Rio said politely.
Almost in all of Anz’s visit to Tiramisu Café, Rio always serves Anz kindly. Rio, 25 years old, a diploma graduated from one university, handsome, and also kind. Actually, Rio can get a better job than just be a waiter. But don’t know why he always still want to be a waiter. Once, Rio caught Anz up when that girl cried a lot while played straw on her lemon tea ice glass. Rio always took a look on Anz although he is busy to serve another customer. But at that day, Anz stayed at that seat of the café until the café would be closed. She just look at the outside of the café, ordered lemon tea ice until seven times, and sometimes swap her tears. Because the café would be closed soon, so Rio came to Anz.
“ I am sorry, Miss. We will close the café. “ Rio said slowly.
But how surprise Rio is when suddenly Anz hugged his waist. She cried a lot while hugged Rio’s waist. Rio calmed her down soon while uncare about his friends’ stare at him. Rio took Anz’s hug off slowly and went to take his work bag. Rio invited Anz to go outside together and he still calmed Anz down whose heart is broken by love. That was happened when Anz was dumped by Ronald, her childhood friend who become her boyfriend for 4 years, but it must be ended when Ronald decided to receive his marriage plan with Laura, a girl that was matchmade by Ronald’s parents, on age 20 years old. So, Rio and Anz is actually quite close each other, although just become a waiter and customer relationship.
“ Mr. Rio!” Anz called Rio.
Rio, who has wiped some plates and glasses, leaves his job for a while and walks closer to Anz.
“ Yes, Miss Anz. What can I do for you ? “ Rio asked.
“ I need help and some minutes ago, Mr. Rio said, if I need help, so I have to call Mr. Rio, right ?” Anz said.
“ Hmmm … yeah true, I said that before. So, what can I do for you ? “ Rio said.
“ Would you accompany me to talk here ? Just for a while …,” Anz asked something to Rio.
“ Hah ? “ Rio is surprised.
“ Don’t worrt, I will ask for permission to Mr. Aldi. I just need 15 minutes to talk. “ Anz said. Then Anz walks to meet Mr. Aldi. Mr. Aldi is a manager of Tiramisu Café. Rio doesn’t have a time to answer Anz’s ask.
Rio sees to Anz who talks to Aldi. Aldi seems allow Anz’s ask. Anz gives her smile. When Anz returns to her seat, Rio is soon moving his sight.
“ Let’s take a seet, Mr. Rio!” Anz said while letting Rio to sit.
“ What do you want to talk with me, Miss Anz ? “ Rio asked.
“ Anz, please. No ‘ Miss ‘ on the beginning. “ Anz answered.
“ Ah, OK … Anz. “ Rio said it rigidly.
Anz takes a long breath. She’s hardly to breath. Before talking, Anz reaches a glass of lemon tea ice which is in front of her face and drinks it until there’s half portion left.
“ I feel so sad. “ Anz said to start their conversation.
“ I know. “ Rio said.
“ How do you know it, Mr. Rio ? “.
“ Rio, please …,”
“ Oh OK Rio …,”.
“ I always look at you, Anz. You always come here with rumpled and flat face, no happiness shine in your eyes, and always sulky. When you try to hide your sadness, I already know that actually you’re so sad. I can see it when you look at my eyes when you order some foods to me. “ Rio explained.
“ Including of today ? “.
“ Totally true! I’m sorry, if I got an allowance to know, is now your problem similar to your previous problem ?” Rio asked.
“ What do you mean ? “ Anz asked.
“ Broken hearted. Like your previous love story with … ah, sorry …, “ Rio doesn’t have any brave to continue his words.
“ You’re right, Rio. Now is the same condition. Something happened between me and Ronald before is now happening again to me and Adam. I never understand, actually what’s less from me ? They said, I’m such an almost perfect girl, whether physically and brainly. But if like that, why do my love stories always jump to the same hole and never become a beautiful love relationship like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston or …,”.
“ Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were divorced, Anz. “ Rio cut Anz’s sentence.
“ Ah, yeah! And the point now, why do my love stories never become a beautiful relationship like Cinderella or like Belle and The Beast ? “ Anz takes the main point and then cut the tiramisu into a small pieces with spoon and feed it to her mouth.
Rio takes a deep breath and exhales it. Then Rio looks into Anz.
“ How’s the tiramisu, Anz ? “ Rio asked.
“ As usual, delicious and sweet. “ Anz answered while feed another small pieces of tiramisu to her mouth.
“ But if you eat it more than this, it will be a bitter one and you feel nauseated. “ Rio said.
“ I am never feeling bored to eat tiramisu. But … yeah … if I eat 2 -3 slices again, maybe I will feel nauseated too. “ Anz agreed to Rio’s statement.
“ It’s same to love, Anz. By what I thought, if we fall in love with someone, don’t give all of your love. If you’re now having 10 loves, don’t spend them just to that person. Know what, as the time goes on, you will feel a bitter condition. You will feel soooo in love with him, but he’s not. “ Rio said.
Anz is quiet when she heard Rio’s sentence.
“ Besides that, because you are so in love, so that man will oftenly trick on you. They think that you are so in love to himself and will never leave you. Finally, he will do whatever he like. Like cheating on behind you. That’s the negative point because we feel so in love with another human, Anz. “ Rio continued it.
“ So that’s my weakness ? Feel so in love to human ? “ Anz asked.
“ You have heard my opinion. You can conclude it, don’t you ?” Rio said. He gives Anz his smile which makes Anz’s heart shivers.
“ Another one, tiramisu is also being a symbol of life. Tiramisu is consisting of some cake layer. There is egg yolk layer, mascarpone cheese layer, coffee and chocolate layer, and also there are ladyfinger biscuits in the middle. Life is sometimes so smooth, like egg yolk and mascarpone cheese, but it can be bitter and pebble, like when you bite coffee-chocolate layer and bit its ladyfinger biscuit. So Anz, life is not forever beautiful and the important is life is once. Your task now is make your life, that you have said your life is bad, become more beautiful. I don’t know the way. Just you and God know how to make your life more beautiful although you’re in the bitter condition or step on the gravels. “ Rio explained.
Anz smiles after listening to long explanation from Rio. Rio feels bad when he sees Anz’s smile. Anz smile’s is not bad.
“ Why, Anz ? Why do you just smile ? Am I too much talking ? I’m sorry if it’s like I teach you. “ Rio said.
“ No, no Rio. What you have said is true. I agree. I’m happy that you’re much talking today. Maybe I will sleep tight tonight. I will never think about my relationship with Adam again. “ Anz said happily.
“ Too much. “ Rio said while try not to laugh.
“ I think nope!” Anz said.
Suddenly, Aldi, a manager of Tiramisu Café, comes to Anz and Rio. He speaks politely,
“ I’m sorry for bothering you, Miss Anz. I want to ask your permission because Rio must back to his work now. I’m sorry if I cut Miss Anz and Rio’s conversation. “.
Aldi bows respectfully to Anz and then return to his space. Anz replies Aldy by nod her head.
“ I’m sorry, Anz. I have to back on my work. I hope you will feel better. Be a strong woman, Anz. You can do it!” Rio said. Then Rio stands up and make the seat position is in the right place again.
“ Wait a minute, Rio!” Suddenly Anz holds Rio’s hand. Again, Rio is surprised.
“ Why ? “ Rio asked.
“ Tomorrow … I will come again. You … do you want to make the sweetest tiramisu for me ? Special for me. No bitter taste!” Anz ordered to Rio.
“ If there’s no bitter taste, it can’t be called as tiramisu. That’s called Cheese cake. “ Rio said.
“ Whatever the name is, I will ask for the sweetest tiramisu tomorrow. It has to be made by you! I’ll see you! “ Anz said. She takes her bag soon and go to cashier.
Rio is left by Anz and he’s just smiling when see Anz walks out from that café.

Adrianne Aziana a.k.a Anz, mungkin kamu
belum pernah dengar nama ini. Tapi tidak bagi semua mahasiswa-mahasiswi juga
civitas akademika Universitas Bina Bangsa. Anz bukanlah nama yang asing bagi
mereka. Bagaimana tidak ? Anz adalah cewek paling mencolok dan populer di
universitas tersebut. Cantik, seksi, kaya, pintar, dan ramah. Tapi sayang, Anz
terkenal juga suka gonta ganti pasangan. Bukan karena dia adalah seorang playgirl atau pembosan, tapi entah
kenapa setiap cowok yang dekat dengannya hanya ingin memanfaatkannya. Tidak ada
yang selama ini dengan tulus mencintainya. Mereka hanya mengincar harta dan
reputasi Anz sebagai cewek kaya dan populer.
Seperti hari ini, Anz baru saja bertengkar
hebat dengan Adam, cowok yang baru dipacarinya selama 2 minggu. Adam adalah
cowok populer di Universitas Bina Bangsa. Adam ketahuan mencium seorang cewek
di diskotek dan itu dipergoki oleh Avi, sahabat Anz yang kebetulan sedang ke
diskotek itu. Avi langsung merekam adegan
Adam yang sedang mencium seorang cewek dengan ponselnya.
“ Bisa aja kan si Avi itu buat – buat video
itu biar kita berantem!” seru Adam ke Anz.
“ Oh ya ? Buat apa Avi merekayasa ? Dia
sahabat gue dari kecil! Dia nggak mungkin ngebohongin gue. Udahlah, Adam. Lo
juga sama kan kayak cowok-cowok lain ? Lo pacaran sama gue cuma buat manfaatin
gue kan ?!” balas Anz.
“ Ya !! Gue juga sama kayak cowok-cowok
yang pernah pacaran sama lo! Gue macarin lo itu juga buat main – main doank.
Anz, lo memang cantik, kayak, pinter, seksi, tapi lo terlalu polos dan sama
sekali nggak menarik. Buat apa pacaran sama cewek yang nggak mau diajak pergi
ke diskotek, nggak mau diajaka ciuman, dll ? Basi! “ Adam membuka kedoknya
sendiri.
Ya.
Memang Anz selalu menolak dengan gaya pacaran yang kelewat batas. Hampir semua
cowok yang pernah pacaran sama Anz diputusin gara-gara gaya pacaran mereka.
“
Fine! Now I already know what kind of guy
you are. Thank you for dating me for two weeks!” kata Anz dan ia langsung
berjalan meninggalkanAdam.
“
Hey girl, before you go to another
relationship, please study how to kiss your boyfriend! Hahaahahahaha! “ ejek
Adam.
Mendengar
Adam berkata begitu, Anz langsung membalikkan badannya. Wajahnya memerah karena
sangat marah, tangan kirinya mengepal keras, nafasnya memburu, dan tangan
kanannya yang sedang memegang gelas kertas berisikan cappuccino yang tinggal seperempat siap beraksi. Anz mendekati Adam
lagi.
“
Say it once again! “ ujar Anz.
“
Should I ? OK, I will. Before you go to
another relationship, it’s better for you to learn how to kiss your boyfriend.
Believe me, Anz. You won’t ever be
cheated by your boyfriend anymore. “ kata Adam dengan nada nyeleneh.
“
Hmmm … good advice. I will try to learn
it then. Oh ya, ini salam perpisahan untuk kita. Thank you Adam! “ kata Anz
dengan senyum manis memukau dan langsung menyiramkan cappuccino-nya yang ada di
tangan kanannya ke wajah Adam.
Adam
sangat kaget. Ia langsung menyeka wajahnya. Anz tertawa puas. Adama
mengibas-ngibaskan bajunya yang basah dan bernoda juga berbau kopi.
“
Damn you, Anz ! “ Adam berteriak.
“
You’re a thousand times jerk than me!
Enjoy that! “ kata Anz lega.
Tapi
selega-leganya Anz dengan menyiramkan cappuccino ke wajah Adam, ia tetap Anz
yang rapuh hatinya. Satu kebiasaan Anz kalau sedang galau begini adalah pergi
ke café favoritnya, Tiramisu Café. Ya, café ini hanya menyediakan berbagai
macam tiramisu. Dan tiramisu adalah cake
kesukaan Anz dari masa ke masa. Begitu sampai di Tiramisu Café, Anz segera
mengambil tempat di pojok café yang memiliki view indah dan ia merasa lebih jelas mendengarkan setiap lagu yang
dialunkan home band café itu. Saking
seringnya Anz ke café itu, ia bahkan hafal beberapa nama pelayan disana.
“
Selamat sore, Mbak Anz! Hari ini mau pesan apa ? “ sapa seorang waiter yang di
dadanya ada name tag dengan nama “ RIO “.
“
Eh Mas Rio. Aku mau pesen classic
tiramisu aja hari ini. Oh ya, tetep sama …,”
“
Lemon Tea Ice dengan extra lemon biar lebih asam kan ? “ kata Rio, si waiter itu, memotong kalimat Anz.
Anz yang ternganga buru – buru mengatupkan
mulutnya dan menggantinya dengan senyum manis.
“
OK, tunggu sebentar ya mbak! “ lalu Alvin berlalu dari hadapan Anz.
Tak
berapa lama, Rio membawa pesanan Anz. Rio meletakkan piring berisi satu slice classic tiramisu berhiaskan strawberry
segar dan dikelilingi oleh saus coklat yg nikmat, juga lemon tea ice dengan extra lemon di depan Anz dengan hati-hati.
“
Terima kasih, Mas Rio!” kata Anz begitu Rio selesai menaruh pesanan Anz di meja
“
Sama-sama, Mbak! Kalau ada yang bisa saya bantu, silahkan panggil saya.
Permisi. “ ujar Rio sopan.
Hampir
di semua kunjungan Anz ke Tiramisu Café, Rio selalu melayani Anz dengan senang
hati. Rio, 25 tahun, lulusan D3 di sebuah universitas, tampan, dan ramah.
Seharusnya Rio bisa mendapat pekerjaan lebih dari seorang waiter. Tapi entah
kenapa ia tetap bertahan menjadi waiter. Pernah sekali Rio memergoki Anz
menangis sesenggukan dengan air mata berderai-derai sambil memainkan sedotan
lemon tea-nya. Ia terus memperhatikan Anz walaupun ia sendiri juga sibuk
melayani pelanggan. Tapi hari itu, Anz bertahan di tempat duduk café itu hingga
waktu café itu tutup. Kerjaannya hanya memandang ke arah luar café , memesan lemon tea ice hingga tujuh kali, dan
sesekali mengusap air matanya yang mengalir. Karena café sudah hampir tutup,
maka Rio menghampirinya.
“
Maaf Mbak, kami akan tutup. “ kata Rio pelan.
Namun
alangkah terkejutnya Rio begitu Anz tiba-tiba langsung memeluk pinggangnya. Ia
malah menangis keras sambil memeluk pinggang Rio. Rio buru-buru menenangkan Anz
sembari tak mempedulikan tatapan aneh teman-temannya. Rio melepaskan pelukan
Anz perlahan dan buru-buru mengambil tas kerjanya. Dibimbingnya Anz keluar café
dan ia tetap menenangkan cewek yang sedang hancur hatinya. Itu terjadi di
masa-masa Anz saat putus dengan Ronald, teman masa kecilnya yang akhirnya saat
itu menjadi pacarnya selama 4 tahun, namun harus berakhir ketika Ronald memutuskan
untuk menerima pernikahan dengan Laura, cewek yang dijodohkan orang tuanya, di
usia 20 tahun. Jadi, Rio dan Anz sebenarnya cukup dekat, walau hanya sekedar
sebagai waiter dan customer.
“
Mas Rio!” panggil Anz.
Rio
yang sedang mengelap gelas dan piring meninggalkan pekerjaannya sejenak dan
berjalan menemui Anz.
“
Ya, Mbak Anz ? Ada yang bisa saya bantu ?” tanya Rio.
“
Saya butuh bantuan dan tadi Mas Rio bilang, jika saya butuh bantuan, maka saya
harus memanggil Mas Rio, ‘kan ? “kata Anz.
“
Hmmm ya benar, saya tadi berkata begitu. Lalu, apa yang bisa saya bantu ? “
ujar Rio.
“
Boleh temani saya mengobrol disini ? Sebentar saja …, “ pinta Anz.
“
Hah ? “ Rio terperangah.
“
Jangan khawatir, saya akan minta izin ke Mas Aldi. Saya hanya butuh 15 menit. “
tukas Anz dan lalu ia beranjak menemui Mas Aldi. Mas Aldi adalah manager
Tiramisu Café. Rio tidak sempat menjawab.
Rio
melihat Anz berbicara dengan Aldi. Aldi mengabulkan permintaan Anz. Senyum
manis Anz kembali disunggingkan. Ketika Anz berbalik kembali ke mejanya, Rio
buru-buru mengalihkan pandangannya.
“
Silahkan duduk, Mas Rio!” kata Anz sembari mempersilahkan Rio duduk.
“
Mbak Anz mau bicara apa dengan saya ?” tanya Rio.
“
Anz, please. No ‘mbak’ at the beginning. “
jawab Anz.
“
Ah, OK … Anz. “ujar Rio kaku.
Anz
menghela nafas panjang. Nafasnya berat. Sebelum bicara, diraihnya gelas berisi
lemon tea ice di depannya dan meminumnya hingga tinggal setengah.
“
Saya sedang galau. “ kata Anz memulai pembicaraan.
“
Saya tahu. “ ujar Rio.
“
Gimana Mas Rio tau ? “
“
Rio, please …, “
“
Oh, OK Rio .., “.
“
Aku selalu perhatikan kamu, Anz. Kamu datang kesini selalu dengan muka yang
kusut, datar, tak ada cahaya kebahagiaan di mata kamu, dan selalu cemberut.
Walau kamu berusaha menyembunyikan kesedihanmu, aku tahu kamu sebenarnya sangat
sedih. Itu terlihat sewaktu kamu memandang aku saat memesan makanan. “ ujar
Rio.
“
Termasuk hari ini ? “
“
Totally true! Maaf, kalau aku boleh
tahu, apakah kali ini masalahmu sama dengan yang lalu – lalu ? “ tanya Rio.
“
Maksud kamu ? “ Anz bertanya balik.
“
Putus cinta. Patah hati. Seperti kisahmu dengan …, ah maaf. “ Rio tak berani
melanjutkan kata-katanya.
“
Kamu benar, Rio. Kali ini tetap sama. Hal yang terjadi dengan Aku dan Ronald,
sekarang terjadi lagi dengan aku dan Adam. Aku nggak pernah ngerti, sebenarnya
aku kurang apa, Rio? Mereka bilang, aku ini sesosok cewek yang hampir sempurna
secara fisik dan otak. Tapi, kalaupun begitu kenapa kisah cintaku nggak semulus
dan seindah Brad Pitt dan Jennifer Aniston atau …,”
“
Brad Pitt dan Jennifer Aniston akhirnya bercerai, Anz.” Rio memotong kalimat
Anz.
“
Ah, iya! Nah intinya, kenapa kisah cintaku nggak semulus dan seindah Cinderella
atau kayak Belle dan The Beast ?? “ Anz
mengambil inti pembicaraannya dan menyuapkan potongan tiramisu ke dalam
mulutnya.
Rio
mengambil nafas dan menghembuskannya . Lalu,
Rio memandangi Anz.
“
Gimana rasa tiramisunya, Anz ?” tanya Rio.
“
Seperti biasa, enak dan manis. “ jawab Anz sambil memasukkan potongan tiramisu
lagi ke mulutnya.
“
Tapi kalau kebanyakan makan tiramisu, ntar juga jadi pahit dan eneg loh. “ ujar
Rio.
“
Aku nggak pernah bosen makan tiramisu. Tapi …. iya sih … kalau aku makan 2-3 slices lagi, mungkin aku juga bakal
eneg. “ Anz menyetujui statement Rio.
“
Sama halnya dengan cinta, Anz. Menurut pemikiran aku, kalau kita jatuh cinta
dengan seseorang, jangan berikan semua cintamu. Kalau sekarang kamu punya 10
cinta, jangan habiskan sepuluh-sepuluhnya untuk cowok itu. Yang ada lama-lama
kamu juga bakal ngerasa pahit sendiri. Kamunya sangat cinta, tapi ternyata
tidak dengan cowok itu.” ujar Rio.
Anz
terdiam mendengar kata-kata Rio.
“
Selain itu, karena kamu terlalu cinta, maka si cowok juga sering memanfaatkan
kamu, Mereka berpikir kalau kamu sangat cinta ke dia dan kamu nggak mungkin
bisa meninggalkan dia. Akhirnya yang ada, dia berbuat seenak jidatnya. Kayak
selingkuh di belakang kamu seenaknya. Itu salah satu akibat terlalu cinta
kepada manusia, Anz.” Lanjut Rio.
“
Jadi itu kekurangan aku ? Terlalu cinta kepada manusia ? “ tanya Anz.
“
Kamu udah denger pendapat aku. Kamu bisa nyimpulin sendiri kan ? “ kata Rio
sambil tersenyum manis. Senyum Rio membuat hati Anz bergetar.
“
Selain itu, tiramisu itu juga melambangkan arti hidup loh. Tiramisu kan terdiri
dari beberapa lembar cake. Ada lapisan
egg yolk , ada lapisan mascarpone cheese, ada lapisan kopi dan
coklat, dan juga biskuit ladyfinger
ditengah-tengahnya. Hidup itu terkadang lembut kayak lapisan egg yolk dan mascarpone cheese, tapi bisa jadi pahit dan berkerikil kayak waktu
kamu menggigit lapisan kopi-coklat dan menggigit biskuit ladyfinger. Jadi Anz, hidup ini tidak selamanya indah dan yang
paling penting hidup ini cuma sekali. Tugas kamu sekarang adalah buat hidup
yang kamu bilang itu kurang indah menjadi lebih indah. Aku nggak tau caranya.
Cuma diri kamu dan Tuhan yang tau gimana membuat hidup kamu lebih indah
walaupun kamu sedang dalam masa pahit atau menginjak batu-batu kerikil. “ jelas
Rio panjang lebar.
Anz
tersenyum lebar mendengarkan celotehan panjang Rio. Rio merasa nggak enak hati
melihat senyum Anz itu. Tidak kalah manis dengan senyumnya.
“
Kenapa, Anz ? Koq cuma senyum aja ? Aku kebanyakan ngomong ya ? Maaf ya kalau
aku kesannya mengajari kamu. “ kata Rio nggak enak hati.
“
Nggak, nggak Rio. Apa yang kamu bilang itu benar. Aku setuju. Aku seneng kamu
banyak omong hari ini. Mungkin malam ini aku akan tidur nyenyak. Nggak mikirin
lagi saat-saat aku putus dengan Adam hari ini. “ kata Anz senang.
“
Berlebihan.” Kata Rio singkat dan sambil menahan tawanya.
“
Menurut aku nggak. “ tangkis Anz.
Tiba-tiba,
Aldi, manager Tiramisu Café menghampiri Anz dan Rio. Dengan sopan ia berkata,
“
Maaf mengganggu, Mbak Anz. Bukannya saya kurang sopan, namun sekarang Rio harus
kembali bekerja. Saya mohon maaf kalau saya memotong pembicaraan Mbak dengan
Rio. “.
Aldi membungkuk hormat kepada Anz dan lalu
berbalik kembali ke tempatnya. Anz membalas Aldi dengan anggukan.
“ Maaf Anz, aku harus kerja lagi. Semoga
kamu udah merasa lebih baik daripada tadi. Be
a strong woman, Anz. You can do it! “ kata Rio sambil berdiri tempat
duduknya dan membenarkan posisi tempat duduk itu.
“ Sebentar, Rio! “ Anz buru-buru
menggenggam tangan Rio. Rio terkejut, lagi.
“ Kenapa, Anz ? “ tanya Rio.
“ Besok …….. aku dateng lagi. Kamu ……. mau
nggak bikinin aku tiramisu termanis ? Spesial untuk aku. Nggak pake rasa pahit!”
pinta Anz.
“ Kalau nggak ada pahitnya, namanya bukan
tiramisu, Anz, Itu namanya Cheese cake.
“ kata Rio.
“ Whatever
the name is, I will ask for the sweetest tiramisu tomorrow. It has to be made
by you! I’ll see you! “ ujar Anz tak peduli. Ia buru-buru mengambil tas dan
menuju kasir.
Tinggal Rio yang hanya tersenyum melihat
Anz keluar dari café itu.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY BLOG. HOPE YOU LIKE TO READ MY STORY AND ANY ARTICLE THAT I'M SHARING WITH YOU.
HAVE A NICE DAY :D
Oh Hi guys!
I am back after fighting with my thesis proposal and my feature program dummy.I really miss this blog and I miss to write something here.
So the story is from the beginning of this semester 6. I am a final student of University of Indonesia ( UI ). I am taking Diploma degree of Broadcasting there. And semester 6 is our dateline to graduate from UI. So we have to make a thesis proposal and make a program. We can choose whether it's a TV program or Radio program. If we choose TV Program, we have to make a feature or documentary program by a group which is filled maximally 5 peoples. And if you choose to make a radio program, then you're a single fighter that will make your program by yourself ONLY.
Because I'm not feeling comfortable with making TV program, so I chose my own way to decide to make a radio program. I chose to make a culinary feature program. So for it, I have to search what kind of radio station in Indonesia that is suitable with my target audience of my feature program. And there you go, I got KIS FM Radio ( on Frequency 95.1 FM ). KIS FM Radio is a bilingual radio. They use 40 % Indonesian and 60 % English. And I got a challenge to make my own radio feature program in English.
Wow, that's a great challenge. I was a bit worried because I'm not too good in grammar so I'm afraid that I will make a mistake on script writing for the program. But I just believe in myself that I can do it since I can use English as well.
So finally I made my own feature program named FROST. It's an acronym of FOOD RECOMMENDATION ON THE STREET. So here I talked about a unique and an exclusive restaurant or culinary in Jakarta. I took that point because it's suitable with KIS FM Radio's target audience.
And Thank God, all of the process to make this feature was like made to be easy by God. You know what, I tried to call one newbie restaurant in Grand Indonesia Shopping Town in Jakarta. It's a really newbie one. So then the PR called me and refused my proposal to make a feature about their restaurant. Then I remembered that my friend, Monika, is an employee of one big company that handle many exclusive and unique restaurant in Jakarta. I asked for her help and voila, she wants to help me.
Monika searched the permission to Kitchenette ( restaurant that I made a feature about ) Public Relation and also to Operational Chef of Kitchenette. Thank God, we had a great interview then and I'm satisfied with their answers. So helpful. And they also paid for my food. Omo, it's really a great service. So thank you, Monika onnie, Ms. Fina, and Chef Victor! :D
Although I felt so worry because I have to go home so late, but it was paid with my happiness. Then the next step, I had to make a script for my announcing. And another easy way came to me when Ben, my another friend, offered me to use his campus' radio laboratory to record my voice. Yeah, radio laboratory in my campus was still under renovation. So I agreed to his offer. Then he asked for the permission for me and that is FREE. And Ben also wanted to use his voice for my program promo. Really, God helped me A LOT.
Then we were in the Post Production. Surely, I can't do editing! Actually I love to edit voice, but I don't know why every I edit it, I always find the error stuffs and it just made me being stress. So I don't wanna take a risk and ask my friend, Tika, who is pro in this stuff, to edit my announcing. And as always, she did it so well! I'm proud with her work. But although Tika did the beginning, the final touch was made by me. And I'm proud I can do it without any error ( because of Tika's guidance too hahahahhaa ).
The dateline to collect the proposal and the dummy is on June, 6th 2011. But I decided to collect it on June, 4th 2011. Because I knew if I collect it on the D-Day, it will be so crowded. And everything was going well although I became stress because of collecting the paper. I have to print them out then photocopy them into 4 sets.
But now I'm so relieved. Right now I just wait for my justice. Hope I can graduate from UI soon.
Ciao!

THIS IS MY STORY : A FABULOUS AND WELL-KNOWN BROADCASTER, SCRIPTWRITER, AND TEACHER
0 comments Posted by Aka Kobo at 12:13 AM
2030. What do you think about what are you gonna be in 2030 ? If for me, it seems not so complicated to arrange what will I be. In 2030, Insya Allah I will be 39 years old. That age is so mature. Of course, 39 years old is the time that we can get what we have done before in our young era. Right now, I am still 20 years old and still enrolling as a final year student of Broadcasting Major in University of Indonesia. I have a great passion in Broadcasting. Especially, I really want to be a fabulous scriptwriter. I want to make a great soap-opera or great radio program with a script that I make. Writing is my soul and my biggest passion. I hope, with everything I write, I can make a big change to this world. And in 2030, you will see my name in the famous film's credit title. FARADYZKA AURORA as SCRIPTWRITER.
Beside going to be a scriptwriter, I also want to be a great Teacher. Actually, this is my childhood ideal. If every child is asked what kind of ideal do you want to be in the future, usually they will answer, most of them want to be a doctor. But I am not. I was inspired by my teacher. Being a teacher is not easy. You have to be patient to teach your student. Even we can feel disappointed when your student can't catch what you have taught. But if you can make your students are success in their education, you will be so proud. That's why I love to teach someone. I hope in 2030, I can be a great teacher and my students love me so much. Then, I hope I can spread a knowledge that I have to make this world get a big improvement.
I had studied at English First for 5 years and the result is amazing. Because of knowledges that I got when I studied at EF English First, I can do my work easily. English First isn't just teaching you English, but they will ask you to learn about your environment and about life too. Their kind teachers, great teaching method, and great friends make you never want to leave English First. I had felt that. English First is the best place to study English. Contact EF English First now by open their website : www.englishfirst.co.id . Trust me, you won't be regret !
For judges, thank you for giving me a chance to join this competition. Why should I win this competition ? Because I have a great passion and willingness to reach my dreams. In 2030, with God's allowance, I will prove to you that what I dream about now will happen. Every people can have their own dream, but not all people make their dream come true. And I'm not one of that people. I WILL MAKE MY DREAM COMES TRUE. So judges, let me win this competition to make other young people stand up and reach their dreams after reading my post. Go, English First ! ^^

Look at this video to show you how was Japan earthquake this afternoon. It's taken from BBC News.
and this is from NHK World :
The tsunami wave was reaching 10 m and swept all over Japan. Because of the tsunami at Japan, some countries get a tsunami alert. By Google, Tsunami alert is pointed to New Zealand, Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Until now, tsunami alert in Indonesia has already stopped. 32 peoples of Japan has died because of this disaster, International airport is closed, and communication crippled.
Hope everything will be okay in Japan and no tsunami will come again. Be patient, Japan. 必ず患者、日本.
