Sajak Akhir Perjalanan

(Flekke, second week upon arrival)

sudah seberapa jauh aku melangkah?

terus menjauh dari tempat yang kusebut rumah,

nampaknya aku belum lelah

kata pepatah, tuntutlah ilmu sampai ke negeri China

taunya, disinilah aku kini

sampai di tempat yang tak pernah kuduga-duga awalnya

kata pepatah, tuntutlah ilmu sampai ke negeri China

taunya, aku akan pergi lebih jauh dari ini

melanjutkan perjalanan yang tak dapat kutebak ujungnya

benar ya, ternyata, hidup itu penuh kejutan

siapalah aku yang berpikir bisa menebak alurnya meski akulah tokoh utamanya

dan anmpaknya, memang tak satupun tokoh utama yang tau akhir mereka

sudah seberapa jauh aku melangkah?

sejauh apa lagi aku akan melangkah?

kemana lagi aku akan melangkah?

kemana pun aku melangkah, semoga saja ujungnya bahagia.

how far have i gone?

how far have i brought my step?

keep going away from place i called home, 

it seems that i havent yet tired

a saying said, seek knowledge till the mainland China

but here i am,

in the place i didnt even think would fill up my chapters

a saying said, seek knowledge till the mainland China

but here i am,

planning to go way further than where i am currently in,

continuing the journey with an unknown end

now i really know, that life is about expectation

the only thing i should expect in life is disappointment

then anything else would be surprising

and who am i thinking i could expect the storyline,

although i am the main character of my story?

then it seems like indeed, no main characters have known heir end

how far have i gone?

how far have i brought my step?

how far i will take more steps?

where else should these steps landed?

no matter where else it would end, i hope you have a happy ending
